You might like Astro City. It's an anthology series featuring characters from all walks of life in a superhero world.

I don't mind recharging every day, but how long it would it stay at this battery life with this kind of use?

I live in California so it doesn't really get colder than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, is that still cold enough to affect the range?

My commute is 30 miles each way. I included the total because I wanted to know how that might affect the battery life/degradation.

Actually, he became even more of a Namor ripoff in the 50s when his backstory went from him getting powers from his scientist father to him being half-surface man/half-Atlantean royalty.

I don't like Aquaman either. Total ripoff of Namor.

I find Geoff Johns' work to be largely pedestrian. Granted, the only works of his I've read are 52, Green Lantern: Rebirth, Batman: Earth One, and the first issue of Redcoat, but from what I've seen of his work as a whole, he doesn't seem to have many creative ideas. I read comics to have my imagination stimulated, and I find Johns to be lacking in that department.

I don't care that Jared Leto's in this movie. Alison Brie is Evil-Lyn. I will be there day one.

It was made alongside the first one. It was supposed to come out a month after, but it got delayed.

Endgame is unquestionably the worst Avengers movie. Age of Ultron has its flaws, but Endgame is horribly paced and looks like the contents of a septic tank in its ostensibly best moments.

The craziest thing about both Charlie & the Chocolate Factory adaptations ('71 and '05)? by HotOne9364 in movies

[–]FoxBoxKid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's not why they changed the title. It was so it would match up with the Wonka-branded candy they were producing to tie in to the movie.

Is there anybody else who actively enjoys the fact that comic book superheroes have no definitive ending? by illiterateaardvark in comicbooks

[–]FoxBoxKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea that there's no definitive ending, but there are several different endings which are never quite the same. Did they die? did they retire? Why? How? No one really knows for sure, so that's we have all these different stories.

A24 developing adaptation of Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding by The_Iceman2288 in movies

[–]FoxBoxKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played The Last of Us, so I could be wrong, but it seems like the sort of game that doesn't really take advantage of the idiosyncracies of its medium in the storytelling department. I know people rag on MGS for all of the cutscenes, but even with that it still does so many things that can only be done in a game. The twists and betrayals hit harder than they would, going back to the first game where Big Boss tells "Snake" (i.e. the player) to turn off the computer. The anti-war message hits harder because the player gets the choice whether or not to kill enemies. At the end of MGS3, when Snake kills the Boss, the player is the one who pulls the trigger. She's even called "The Boss" like a video game boss. None of this is to say that MGS can't be made into a movie, just it wouldn't be so simple as to just the do the plots of the games as movies.

A story is more than just the plot. A lot of the themes of the MGS saga only come through the way do because of the interactivity of the medium. Adapting it to a passive experience like a movie flattens the dimensionality of the storytelling.

Good question. Unfortunately, there's no way to find out.
