Whenever philosophy comes up I be like, some other time, Socrates, for I am in a hurry now, and it is time for me to go.
I always hear Socrates pronounced phonetically as SOE-CRAY-TS in my head, thanks to "Bill & Ted"

That's the whole point. My initial comment needed no rebuttal, or even a response at all. Yet there it was, and with added snarkiness to boot. That is exactly what Trolls do. The fact that you even feel the need for rebuttals of someone else's take or opinion says it all, actually.
Then again, maybe it's a generational thing. Those raised on the Internet seem to have a much harder time grasping the value of unexpressed thought.

'The value of unexpressed thought'. Wow. Seriously. But yours should be expressed though right?
Couldn't agree more.
But on the flip-side someone should be allowed to express their own personal opinion and not be labelled a troll.
That's the issue here and nothing else. No reason to attempt to justify it any other way.
I've definitely been on both sides of this conversation.
I like to consider the Pub Differential in these cases. If we were having beers face to face I know these comments and responses would land differently. Text is a cold mistress.![]()

Not too complicated.
Was I entertained or not.
That too me, that is what a movie has to meet. "Was I entertained or not?" For me, I was entertained while watching BvS. I have no interest in seeing it again though.

Yeah, I don't like getting into back and forths like that but sometimes buttons get unintentionally pushed. It would be nice just to have conversations about what did and didn't work in this movie for people who saw it.Oh, no doubt about it. I have no personal anger toward ANYONE on here.
And I'd share a drink with any of you and discuss this stuff in person, without any worry at all.

You want to know my perfect version of what the Avengers movie would be, the ultimates volume 1 by Mark Miller . I remember reading that and I was blown away thinking dam this is like avenger but in the real world. It was amazing Tony drunk, blackwidow a true spy and assassin, Thor being a hipster god, Bruce and hulk being true a true Juklye and hide , cap having problems and ant man being a wife beater a variation of that would have been amazing but of course only DC could pull it off cause clashes with the marvel family brand.
Coming at this as someone who honestly loves both comic companies about equally, and sees flaws in the films from both, I think it's perfectly natural to love or hate one company/approach simply because there is a pre-existing attachment to it. Dumb? Maybe, but then the vast bulk of human behavior is also dumb, since this explains why most people are involved in a given religion, vote a certain way, pursue certain careers, decide to have a family or not, etc.And I think that allowing your fandom of one type of movie to make you want to hate another film or series or have it fail is just juvenile and dumb. Marvel will always be my favorite but I'm not going to pretend that The Avengers is better than Batman Begins because of it.
Agreed. . .right after "Hopeman."Aquaman....the least interesting part of JL
That's a really good idea.I feel like they really could've benefited from having Manhunter in the roster. Might make people more receptive to semi-detached Supes if they got to see an alien that was completely detached from humanity.![]()
I'll go ahead and beat the horse dead and get it overwith (then I need to try and get to sleep even though it feels like 10 PM to me, it's 3 AM here):
Characters I'd rather see in the Justice League over Cyborg:
- Green Lantern (any)
- Martian Manhunter
- Hawkgirl
- The Atom
- Black Canary
- Hawkman
- Captain Marvel (I won't call him "Shazam")
- Green Arrow
- Doctor Fate
- Captain Atom
- Red Tornado
- Elongated Man
- Huntress
- Mister Terrific
- The Question
- Stargirl
- Zatanna
- Wildcat
- Hourman
- Doctor Mid-Nite
- The Creeper
- Metamorpho
- Plastic Man (yes, even him)
That's a lot.![]()
She is a Thor villain. Teams up with Executioner sometimes.What comic is Enchantress from? Is she just one of Batman's many villains?
I would love to read a serious, philosophical autopsy of this film. I'm guessing Ayn Rand is the biggest influence from that POV.Whenever philosophy comes up I be like, some other time, Socrates, for I am in a hurry now, and it is time for me to go.
Agreed. If everyone could see me slamming my fist on the table, screaming, haphazardly tossing things around, etc. then my message would be much clearer.I've definitely been on both sides of this conversation.

Ultimates 3 sucks

It most certainly was dam thing read like a movie and it was the bases for the avengers of course the PG version.Fixed it for ya. Ultimates was certainly not a great Avengers book, but as an "The Authority in the Marvel World" book, it was ****ing awesome!
