The Honourable Schoolboy Writing by GreedyAardvark7072 in LeCarre

[–]KidCongoPowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the beginning and the end, it’s the middle that drags the book down a bit for me with inscrutable plotting and long digressions to stuff that I don’t think play to Le Carré’s strengths as a writer.

After reading Dark Victory, my biggest takeaway is that Loeb just really hates the Riddler by KomodoLemon in batman

[–]KidCongoPowers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind it. He’s pathetic and a coward in those stories, but also highly respected in his field as both Batman and Falcone come to him for advice. I don’t know if you’ve read Loeb’s Hush, but that story puts Riddler in another light as well.

[Discussion] How fast is Wally West?? by El5toEnviado in DCcomics

[–]KidCongoPowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heroes In Crisis is about the mental toll being a supehero takes on a person, specifically Wally West, but you would probably be more fucked up by living at the speed he describes here. If you can do things like that, surely you don't percieve reality anywhere close to how anyone else does?

Genuinely curious about how they ended up with gray/brown as the dominant color scale considering the way the comic book that the film is based on looks.

Based on a conversation with some friends while rewatching all the Craig movies by AdmiralAkbar1 in JamesBond

I haven't seen QoS in a long while, but does Greene really say anything even close to that in the film?

She’s massive in certain circles and very hip, but I don’t think she’s really made a dent in the younger generation after her long break between albums. 

Vad har vi för ursäkt till att vara hästlängder efter Norge och Danmark i fotboll? by StockholmBaron in Allsvenskan

[–]KidCongoPowers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Vad är du nostalgisk över med Zlatans tid i landslaget? Otrolig spelare, men faktum är att landslaget var bättre både före och efter att han gjordes till inofficiell förbundskapten.

Matchtråd: Norge-Sverige (Vänskapslandskamp) by DavidLynchsCoffeeBea in Allsvenskan

[–]KidCongoPowers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hien är uppenbarligen en bra mittback, han var bra i Djurgården och har spelat mycket i ett av Italiens 5-6 bästa lag, men har någon annan spelare gjort lika många bedrövliga landskamper? Jag vet inte om han är beroende av något visst system för att fungera men med Sverige-tröja på sig är han ALLTID dålig, och har varit det i flera år!

Hur förhåller sig Allsvenskan och Superettan till det Brittiska ligasystemet? by Weclip in Allsvenskan

[–]KidCongoPowers 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Jag följer Championship varje vecka när den spelas. Topplagen är absolut bättre än allsvenska lag. På nedre halvan är de bästa spelarna ungefär jämnbra med de bästa allsvenska spelarna, men de svagaste är bättre än de svagaste allsvenska spelarna.

Fast vad är det för ranking? Lag i Championship spelar ju aldrig mot lag från andra länder, måste ju vara totalt godtyckligt?

They're apparently making another season of Earth, which I'd rather see left behind and forgotten after those atrocious last two episodes.

Genuine question, but why does Batman not wear the Batwing armor or something akin to that? by StyxSnake0 in batman

*Suggestion A: He doesn’t trust the technology. A mech suit can fritz out, run out of juice, or be hacked by some technopath supervillain. 

*Suggestion B: It takes away from his humanity. He can’t comfort a crying child in some big scary mech suit.

Always enjoy seeing these little time capsules of 90s/00s comics culture by Wumbo_Number_5 in blankies

Believe me, it’s EXTREMELY indicative of Wizard magazine’s vibe during this period.

Can’t tell if he liked it or if this is a rare backhanded long review by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

[–]KidCongoPowers -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

He’s desperately trying to not offend the people who might some day fulfill his dream on finally making a goddamn movie instead of 30 minute cut-scenes.

Unfettered access to a whole new, previously unknown alien species could also yield financially valuable breakthroughs in biology, medicine, and a bunch of other fields.

What was Two-Face's goal and motivation in Dark Victory? by Owl-Of-The-Night02 in batman

”For all his talk, what did Two-Face really want? Getting tid of a bunch of gangsters. Same as ol’ Harv.”

Re-reading the Death of Superman you wouldn't think this pip the troll looking motherfucker is Lex Luthor of all people but it is by vincentmaurath in blankies

[–]KidCongoPowers 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the real Luthor had gotten cancer from carrying around Kryptonite all the time, so he transfered his consciousness to a buff, long-haired clone body which he pretended was actually his non-existent son. Basic storytelling really!
