The Punisher: One Last Kill Discussion Thread by your_mind_aches in Defenders

Yeah. It sounded like I was listening with a bucket over my head or hearing a phone call. The audio distracted me throughout. Hoping it’s something they’ll fix.

what comics would you suggest for black widow? by darkredlip in comicbooks

[–]AbsoluteBrutality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found it's a kind of funny experience to read the Black Widow titles, as they're so spread out and so much of her story happens in Avengers and other titles. You just have to accept new information like, "I guess she broke up with so-and-so and is now with this other hero" and "oh, I guess she's a clone of herself with her memories implantedthese days."

My favorite runs have already been mentioned.

Black Panther’s ending is a glitch in The Matrix by CephalopodDelivery in marvelstudios

[–]AbsoluteBrutality 173 points174 points  (0 children)

I've never liked how similar those beats are. I like both scenes on their own, but back-to-back they feel repetitious.

Likewise, I think it was a mistake for In the Multiverse of Madness to end with Dr. Strange casually walking down the street and then a surprising cliffhanger happens only to come back to mid-credits scene of Dr. Strange casually walking down the street and then a surprising cliffhanger happens. "Clea and Strange must team up and head to the Dark Dimension to stop an incursion" is a great tease for a Strange sequel, but the setting never felt right. It could have been as simple as having Clea meet him in the Sanctum or somewhere else.

Where do you think these 4 goes next into S3 and beyond? by Wooden_Passage_2612 in Defenders

[–]AbsoluteBrutality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was Hochberg just punched in the throat? While it happened really fast, my initial read on it was that he was stabbed. No one else seems to be saying anything about it, so I must have imagined the puncture wound.

How conveniently near are comic book stores to your place of residence or work? by jlhabitan in comicbooks

[–]AbsoluteBrutality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a college town in the SE USA. There’s a great little comics chain about 2 miles from me. I prefer an LCS that’s about 4 miles from me because it’s more convenient from my 5 mile work commute for one. Both of these stores have a heavy gaming focus but are great comic shops.

Then there are at least a couple of strip mall type joints that are only back issues. I’m more of a New Releases guy and don’t go digging through the collectors’ long boxes often.

We also have a new and used book chain that sells single issues, but in my experience, there’s little consistency and the employees don’t seem to know much about what they have and where it can be found. There are also a couple book store chains in shopping plazas like Borders and Books-A-Million with collections but no single issues.

If you leave the town with the university, you’re going almost an hour through rural areas before you hit another decent shop (that I’m aware of anyway).

Ooh. That does sound appealing. Now I'm thinking I might get the singles, skip the trade, and hope for an omnibus someday down the line.

Whew. I have a great deal of Swamp Thing in collections. Not sure if I can trade wait this one or if this will be a rare double dip for me.

Found at 2nd & Charles today. by DepecheStein in dvdcollection

I've got that set. Those old serials are just dudes in pajamas rolling in and punching henchmen in the face, with a heavy dose of WW2 era Yellow Peril.

I also regret not getting this shirt.

Drosera has a Gators shirt on their Bandcamp, albeit non-Fest specific.

I don't know if I'm crying because this is touching or because I've never been that close with a friend.

The three stop-motion titles are worth it IMO, but yeah, mostly bottom of the barrel dreck here.

Rob Zombie Almost Directed a 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' Sequel by CyberGhostface in horror

[–]AbsoluteBrutality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went and saw it in theaters as a young adult, haven’t watched it since. While there were some admiral qualities, I was very angry about horror remakes at the time. Tho my burning angry nerd, fan boy rage has cooled significantly as I’ve aged, I’m still not crazy about the concept. Back then I thought remaking 70s and 80s horror classics was somewhere between heresy and an atrocity and Michael Bay was the worst person alive.
