Pattern Ghost

Sometimes necessary, and should always be applied judiciously.
 
As for punching Nazis, sometimes it's necessary:
 

 
And sometimes not so much:

 
(The second is Richard Spencer getting sucker punched.)
 
I think you could make an argument that hate speech, and inciting violence are forms of violence, but you shouldn't be applying physical violence unless there's an immediate threat. No matter how satifsying it may be.
 
 
 

Got scooped while doing a longer version of the same gag.

I, for one, am shocked and amazed to find poor writing on Supergirl. Shocked, I say!

Well, she already spends a good portion of it brainwashed and gaslit, so it didn't seem like a huge change.  (Admittedly I only have 45 X-shaped chromosomes so I freely admit I could be off here.)
 
There could also have been an early scene where she's actively encouraged to kill a Skrull but can't bring herself to do it for some reason.  At first this would seem like weakness, but she'd be proven right by the end.
 
Still a good movie, I'm just driven to fix what isn't broken sometimes.

That'd be inconvenient for the poor Asgardian who's just trying to enjoy a nice  bubble bath, when Thor pops in to bounce the Bifrost off them.

And so it begins . . .
 

So, paint a mural at the edge of the solar system showing nothing here.

Stormbreaker's travel trick looked just like Asgard's Bifrost -- a column of coruscating, multi-colored light descending from the sky, leaving a circle of "runes" burned into the ground. Since Asgard and the original Bifrost are now ash and debris, I'd say the implication is clear that Stormbreaker allows Thor to create a bridge from wherever it is, to wherever he wants to go. A power like what comic-book Mjolnir has had almost from the beginning of Thor's "Journey into Mystery" days.
 
This Tesseract/lightspeed engine business reminds me of another McGuffin associated with the Kree from their early comic-book appearances, the Omni-Wave Projector. That secret allowed the Kree to communicate even across inter-galactic distances, but a Projector could also be made into a devastating weapon. Many enemies of the Kree have tried to obtain one.

I think it's a sobering reminder not to get too wrapped up in things.

Love Death & Robots popped up on Netflix. Just started watching it...very cool so far. David Fincher (Fight Club, Seven, Panic Room, The Game, etc) is behind it. 

Power Girl and Shazam! (Captain Marvel)
 
 

I love Iron Man 3 and the whole Stark/Little Kid part was pure gold. My favorite of the IM movies. (Huge Shane Black fan, so what can I say...)

Like a charismatic lead or good fight choreography?

Kevin Smith talking about Stan Lee's Captain Marvel cameo. Kind of heartwarming. Also filled with F-bombs, because it's Kevin Smith. So, NFW warning there:
 
 

From the article:


 
The cop was clearly trained by Cobra Kai.

And so it begins . . .
 

Aquaman didn't really interest me but I have read it was pretty entertaining if dumb (kinda like Guardians of the Galaxy).  Really I don't want Dostoevsky when I go see a Superhero film, just to have fun and come out happy.

Bizarro like poetry
