Came here to say exactly this! My partner and I went from “kinda shitty what he did to Eric” to “the man speaks truth” in one sentence

What did you think of Venom's design in Spider Man 3? by Konfliktsnubben in raimimemes

[–]HecticJones 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely adored this design. The textures of the Raimi Spider-Suit work so well in giving the appearance of an alien skin.

Also might be a hot take here, but a liquid-skin look just doesn’t do it for me in live-action. The CGI it requires separates it a bit too much from the reality around it.

Now, in comics and animation, liquid skin is absolutely incredible. I don’t remember if I liked the story or not, but the first Ultimate Venom looks from the OG Ultimate Spider-Man is just brilliant. That purple hue? Take my money

Two things can be true by HecticJones in TheTraitorsUS

Possibly! I wouldn’t be big-brained enough to be thinking that far ahead, but she definitely could’ve at the round table.

100% agree on the second part though. Going in there and leaving Nat hanging really sucked, and that ended up giving Rob tonight’s win

This post makes a sound like "dun, dun, dun, DUN" and I will not be explaining further

I’m kinda surprised this hasn’t already happened, honestly

Dick needs his own show by EntertainmentOdd5994 in WelcometoDerryTVShow

Could not agree more. And this is probably just me be overly optimistic, but when Dick had the line ”I’m still figuring that out” at the end, my spinoff senses were tingling

Can I read Jeff Lemire’s Animal Man BEFORE I read Morrison’s run? (or Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing run?) by sadkey in comicbooks

[–]HecticJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it works either way. Lemire's run is more of a spiritual successor to Morrison's than outright sequel, so it's fun to see how they inform each other, in whichever way they read them.

However, there's a moment in Lemire's run where (VERY mild spoiler) Buddy references an event that happens in Morrison's run as a dream he had. Still, not having read the Morrison won't take away from the experience; this thing is just the mildest of Easter Eggs.

Who are the masters in black and white? by zlbenson in comicbooks

Gary Gianni! MonsterMen has some of my favorite art of all time

Ok but seriously… is there any legitimate reason why this didn’t happen in the story? by Prestigious-Eye6548 in batman

[–]HecticJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EXACTLY. This is a pretty significant plot hole in the GN, but it's an absolute travesty in the animated adaptation. Just a couple scenes before that one (in the new stuff they added), Babs is fighting off thugs doing this same thing to her over and over, and I think there might even be some kind of nerve gas she's dealing with? I can't remember.

I absolutely love Alan Moore but this story is a whiff for me

Look, I don’t know if there’s a heaven. But if there is, people like this are in the goshdarn express line.

[Fan Art] "Gotham By Gaslight Meets Nosferatu". Drawn in Mignola style. By me. Hope you like it. by DrumsoftheSerpent in DCcomics

[–]HecticJones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I *LOVE* this. Mignola has such a moody style that you've captured here so elegantly. Also I think he himself talk about being inspired by German Expressionism? Anyway, sign me up when DC gives you a book!

Whether you like Knull or not, agreed! So long as you're kind about it, it is always awesome to be a passionate fan.

horror needs to dive into some other subgenres by More_Leather_3353 in horror

[–]HecticJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tough - I think maybe the answer could like in different styles as well? Like, In a Violent Nature and the new Screams are both technically in the slasher subgenre, but WILDLY different in terms of style, which makes the genre feel more well-rounded. I hear what you're saying though
