My name is Jantzen. I am a lover of horror, a fan of comics, a film enthusiast, and Man-Thing is one of my favorite cult horror characters ever. I love to talk about him along with many more curiosities of the entertainment world. Hope to share the love with you!
Florida Republican Rep. Webster Barnaby directly compared trans people to mutants in X-Men and called the trans people, including children, present in the room "demons and imps."
This was during debate for HB1421 that would criminalize trans people using bathrooms.
In the Joe DeVito book, “Kong: King of Skull Island,” it revealed that after Kong was shot down by the planes his body was turned into an exhibit at the Museum of Natural History.
I love the tragedy of this. Even in death, Kong is treated as a commodity to be exploited.
Something I miss about 2000’s superhero movie tie-in games were the roster of villains that didn’t appear in their respective films as bosses.
More often than not, they tried to redesign them to fit more into their film’s aesthetic, &, sometimes, churned out some great results.
A thing I really like about the Captain America trilogy is the the way in which the gradient of conflict shifts further into grey with each film.
The 1st film is pretty black & white. The Nazis are the bad guys and need to be stopped. Not all that complicated.
Creators are pouring their hearts out about unfair working conditions, being driven to literal tears over their craft in a medium they love or use to before being disillusioned over these conditions, & here you are, spitting on that by whining about “wokeness.”
Go fuck yourself.
#ComicsBrokeMe
No, you broke comics. You took an industry that was on the upswing and drove it right into the dirt by blacklisting talented creators for being conservative, destroying beloved characters, and insulting fans who didn’t like what you were doing with characters they
@Lunwi88
It still irritates me to this day that it’s never brought up how hypocritical it was of Wanda and Pietro to throw a rabid Hulk in the middle of a populated city considering their background with thoughtless collateral damage.
Werewolf By Night, a fairly low stakes horror adventure that didn’t have the end of the world or multiverse looming over it, yet, thanks to its simplicity & impeccable execution by Michael Giaccino, it wound up being one of the better CBM outings in recent years.
Just saying.
So Moon Knight looks like it takes place in London.
It also looks like he’s punching a werewolf in the trailer.
Werewolf by Night is where Moon Knight first appeared.
Jack Russel who is Werewolf by Night is from California.
Would that mean he’s an American werewolf in London?
Schwarzenegger & Stallone were rivals that would try to snipe jobs from each other. One day, Schwarzenegger, knowing Stallone would snipe it, tricked him into starring in the action comedy “Stop or My Mom Will Shoot!” which included a scene of Stallone in a giant baby diaper.
You know what’s another small positive I can give Rise of Skywalker?
This snake.
I like this snake. It’s a neat looking puppet and I love me some alien puppets.
The 2nd blurs that with Steve being confronted by a more cynical and cautious America that was built with the help of the bad guys, made even more hard to deal with because of his best friend from his past being their mechanically, blindly loyal operative.
The 3rd pushes things even further with the greatest challenge for him: fighting his friends. The government is trying to make it impossible for him & friends to act without their control, & he can’t allow that given prior events but has to face the people he trusts that will.
An anti-mutant political group that harasses mutants, vandalizes human establishments that welcomes mutants, play victim as if they’re the ones being attacked, & the X-Men feel an obligation to stand up to them lest more bigotry grows & cost lives?
….nope. Nothing woke here.
He’s fighting people that he knows aren’t villains, they just see things the angles differently, but because they have no time to talk things out due to escalating danger, they can’t come to some kind of understanding & they have to fight.
A far cry from just punching Nazis.
Antony Starr says Homelander would 'kick Superman's ass'
"There's no Kryptonite factor, and Homie would fight so dirty. He's the [type to go], 'Oh, you got me!' as he goes down and then comes up and throws sand in your eyes... Whereas Superman is always like, 'Oh, I wouldn't
Remember when DC let Stan Lee reinvent the origins of their most popular characters?
And how he made the Flash a woman with hummingbird powers that made her fast and she had this awesome costume?
Why do I have a feeling the outrage surrounding April’s design in Mutant Mayhem, a character that has been black a few times before, is going to be disproportionately spotlighted compared to Bebop, a character that’s been black since the 80’s cartoon, being voiced by Seth Rogen?
Seeing a strange amount of people from THAT side of a particular fandom saying “You want Creature Commandos/Swamp Thing/Booster Gold over the JL fighting Darkseid?”
Yes. I do. What of if?
@GunnerDobbins
Anti-Nuclear, Anti-Nationalist, Anti-Pollution, Anti-Corporate Greed, Anti-Horrifying Genetic Engineering, Anti-Bullying, and Anti-any combination of these depending on the film.
Something I hope the new FF isn’t afraid of like I think all the previous films (besides some small examples in the Tim Story films) is to get weird with Reed’s stretching abilities.
The skies the limit with what Reed is capable of with his pliability.
If I had a nickel for every time Sigourney Weaver was in a sequel to a science fiction movie where she played a genetic hybrid between a human and alien after playing a human character who died in the previous film, I’d have two nickels.
You know the rest of the joke.
@trappiningotham
From terrifying ancient entity in the shape of a colossal insect meant to embody the very energy of fear…to a poop cloud with the face of MegaMind.
Pretty lame.
He is disabled.
He still can’t see color, there is a limit to his radar sense that can impede him, and he had to work at shutting out noise and get a sense of his surroundings through his other senses for him to actually be able to “see.”
For every one that’s been bringing up “How dare Jen say that to an abuse victim!”
1. That hasn’t been established in the MCU yet.
2. Even if it was, how do we know Jen knows about that? It was established in the show that Bruce’s family barely ever sees him.
TV show “The Boys” used to be one of my favorites.
Pointing out the elites evil tendencies in the form of “superhero’s”.
Now it pivots to say Trump people bad other people good. Along with every scene injecting woke nonsense+ new strong smart female black character.
WTF
I love that they decided to go black and white with Werewolf By Night.
Pays tribute to horror of old, both in terms of film as well as Marvel’s various horror magazines of the 1970’s, while also being able to have some visible bloodshed.
Revisiting HBO’s Watchmen, and I’m noticing so many beautiful touches.
Like how when Laurie visits Looking Glass in the interrogation chamber, a device meant to use imagery to provoke emotional responses, is projecting an alien squid.
The thing that traumatized him as a child.
I love how cruelly pointless Ozymandias’ “escape” was in the Watchmen series.
The man had every resource at his beck & call to create a message to leave Europa, but, instead, because his ego wouldn’t allow something so easy, he concocted a game from his servants’ suffering.
Knowing all of that, makes this scene a thousand times more hilarious than intended because all I can think of is Schwarzenegger chomping a cigar and laughing his Machiavellian ass off.
It’s amazing how much better Count Dooku is in expanded material than he is in the movies.
His motivations are clearer, his civilized duplicity is more striking, and it’s much easier to believe his combat prowess when you can draw or animate him to match it.
Remember in the first issue of Action Comics when Superman stopped an abusive husband from beating his wife?
Don’t know why that felt relevant.
Care to chime in your thoughts, Jonny?
Frank’s introduction in Daredevil Season 2 is still so damn good.
All that time in the episode making you think it’s an armed militia, shooting up gang meetings, leaving people on meat hooks, but then you get the chilling answer:
It’s not.
It’s one man.
The image of Superman catching a plane is pretty iconic thanks mostly in part to Donner. Great spectacle that shows off his strength and flight.
But you know what I’d love to see in a film that’s also pretty iconic that we haven’t gotten yet?
Superman stopping a train.
@VigiFangirl
A cgi creature with a limited vocabulary, sure, but, functionally, they’re very different. Groot is a thematic focal point, Shark isn’t. Shark actually goes through a change because of another character, while Groot doesn’t because he’s intentionally static.

@TheDocX11
There’s also the question of whether this will make people forget or if it’s taking events that have happened out of the equation altogether. Like they never happened rather than just a mind wipe.
That’s a lot more difficult a situation to deal with.
@hiddenhush
I’m currently in the middle of catching up on The Bad Batch, and after just finishing Ahsoka not too long ago, I think I say with confidence that Filoni is much more in his comfort zone in animation than he is in live action. So much more visually dynamic.
