Looking at you, Michelle Jones.
Oh my God, Michelle. The time when the filmmaker didn't even have the guts to back his "twist" and immediately began the backpedal of, "Well, I mean, obviously she's not the MJ..."

Also, a note to all aspiring filmmakers: You're not being clever when you introduce an "original character" with a vanilla ass name like John Blake or Dave TotallyNotKhan (or whatever the fuck his name was). We see through it literally 100% of the time. Gaslighting your audience when they figured out your flimsy twist isn't impressive.

Blankman is one of the greatest superhero movies ever made and I won't have anyone tell me differently.
Now, if you'd have said Steel...

Oh, I appreciate Batman & Robin for the cheesefest that it is and hold no ill-will against it.
Never mention The Dark Knight Rises in my presence, though. I will enter a fugue state of rage that frankly embarasses me.
Fucking goddamn Robin John Blake bullshit "orphan eyes" subplot...
Boy, this would be a bad time to admit that John Blake was one of the few things I unironically enjoyed in that film. I mean, sure, the explanation for how he figured out Batman's identity was whack, but I liked the idea that he figured it out; the idea that a young kid in Gotham -- and a young orphan at that -- would see through the thin disguise that always worked against "smarter" adults. And I liked the character of a young, idealistic cop who didn't know the whole truth about Gordon and thus couldn't understand the crusade against Batman.
I will grant that the "Robin" thing was horrendous fan service. Nor did the ending make any kind of sense, anyway. Bruce Wayne traveled the world and trained under fucking ninjas; Blake was just a cop. How the hell are those skills supposed to translate to being the next Batman?
(Otherwise, I'm totally with you that TDKR is a massive disappointment.)

Cindy will never, ever exist in this universe as long as I’m controlling the Spiderverse.
Miles may or may not, but he certainly will not be a love interest like Marvel wants to make him to Gwen for whatever reason
... Is this a bad time to mention that Cindy was on my Spider-Man CS as a fellow nerd with a crush on Peter, a la Spider-Man: Homecoming? (Though she'd never become Silk because c'mon.)
Okay, I've said it before, but this time the next installment really is close. I came down with a crippling case of hate-my-post-itis, but after taking a scalpel to the abscess, it's nearly in a place where I can live with it.
So yes, *gasp* Otto Octavius is a bad guy. I'm going with mustache-twirling evil Otto, mostly because that's the kind of Otto I like best.

I mean, you're not wrong, but to ignore its significance as a female-led superhero movie is to bury the lede a bit. Just as Black Panther is nothing terribly special among Marvel fare, yet it represents an important cultural milestone.
Besides, Wonder Woman's unapologetic appeal to true blue heroism, after the DCEU had spent the better part of three movies dragging their heroes through the muck for drama and deconstruction's sake, was a glass of cold water for a man trapped in the desert.

I'll say this about Batman v. Superman: As a Superman film, I hate it. As a Batman film, I really hate it. But divorced from the title characters' identities and taken at face value, it's an interesting -- if unevenly constructed -- idea.
Eww, I just vaguely defended the DCEU, and it had nothing to do with Wonder Woman. I need a shower.

Yeah, but in-game he was like 15 at the time. And unless we wanted to turn UDC into a reenactment of Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher," I figured someone in the same age bracket would be more appropriate.
Wait, we didn't? Shit, I was playing that game all wrong...
@Eddie Brock Is that what you want with Jay Garrick?
<Snipped quote by Eddie Brock>
Huh, that'd be a fun couple actually.
Yeah, I thought so, too... Thanks, @GreenGrenade!
