So how many people have actually written Spider-Man well? I mean giving him stories with actual character development and such, rather then heaping calumny on Peter and calling it story telling. 'Cause, due to chatting with somebody on the subject, it's starting to seem like it's been a long line of hacks weeing all over the character's history and such with the Clone Saga, One More Day and "Superior" Spider-Man being particular low points.

And last night on RAW McIntyre beat Orton to reclaim the title which raises the question, what was the point of having Orton win the title in the first place
I'd question the point of ever letting Orton win the title but then, I'm notoriously anti Orton.

What? Condorman isn't on this list? Or Pumaman? Or Supersonic Man? Or any of the Turkish or Indian adaptations of Superman? Or Rat Pfink a BooBoo? (I'll let you look those up for yourselves.)
I've seen a number of movies on this list--many of them, like Green Lantern, are not bad--they just aren't the groundbreaking movies that were Ricard Donner's Superman, or Tim Burton's Batman, or Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, or Bryan Singer's X-Men, or any of the MCU movies up to and including The Avengers. Those set a really high bar for moviemakers to vault over, and not all of them make it. Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman is one that does; the MCU version of Spider-Man--not so much.
For myself, I'd like to see even more superhero movies and TV series, and not just DC and Marvel. Sylvester Stallone has a movie coming out next year called Samaritan--no relation to the Astro City character, apparently. The downside to there being more superhero movies and TV is we get more stuff like Brightburn and The Boys, made by people who hate superheroes.
Ugh, I utterly despised the MCU Spider-man movie. I actually didn't watch Far From Home because I despised the first one so much, I actually walked out in the middle of it because I disliked it so much. Barely competent Spidey would be bad enough but condescending abusive Tony Stark was a step to far.

THE WORST SUPERHERO MOVIES OF ALL TIME

How many have you seen?
The “highest” one on the list I’ve seen is Fantastic.
Only seen eight of them.

Hell in a Cell results that really matter
Randy Orton defeated Drew McIntyre to become RAW champion.
Sasha Banks beat Bayley to become Smackdown champion
The Miz beat Otis to take the Money in the Bank suitcase. This seems the worst decision as they broke up the tag team and are now stripping the guy of a genuine accomplishment.
I dunno, jobbing out a popular face to Randy Orton AGAIN seems like a pretty crappy decision.

Also the scene where the Doctor pretends to be the President. His performance was unimpeachable. [rimshot]
In my opinion Bride of Chaotica is the best episode of Voyager. Definitely one I always watch when it's on TV.

The fact that Ken & Karen didn't get shot by police is a pretty good illustration of white privilege in and of itself.
Though if they'd opened fire themselves, I imagine there's a pretty good chance they'd have ended up shooting each other.

*Shameless vilification of black people*
If it's a private road then they're scamming money from the city of St Louis because the zoning law says said roads are being maintained by the city of St Louis. If they city's maintaining it then it's public property plain and simple but there I go being logical rather then mindlessly swallowing whatever story de jour they're using to vilify the black people being threatened by the gun wielding idjits.

It was private property and the protesters had to break a gate to get onto the private street leading by that residence. Everyone in that crowd was criminally trespassing.
I would have preferred they kept their weapons out of sight until it became clear they would need them to defend their homes. Those two were so incompetent with their firearms handling they were as likely to kill themselves or someone in the crowd with no intention of attacking their property as not. Bad-ass is not the term that comes to mind.
Only the house is private property, the street and the sidewalk are maintained by the city and are thus public property. So long as they didn't actually walk onto the front yard of the house, which they clearly didn't, they're not trespassing.

Even conservative talking heads are dismayed by the complete and utter lack of firearm safety displayed by these two. The first time I saw the video I was all, "Good, defend your home - only right." which rapidly turned into "Jesus, dude!. Stop pointing your gun at your wife. OMG she's never actually held a gun before! You're going to kill each other! Stop!".
But they're not defending their home. The black guys are walking by on the sidewalk and there's no indication that they have any intention of causing trouble for these people. They'd probably have walked on by if this nitwits hadn't utterly failed at trying to appear badass.

So people were claiming that it was a private street. However somebody on Twitter pointed out the city zoning laws are available to the public and while the houses, as houses generally are, are private, the street is maintained by the city and thus public.
-
Their poor firearm safety is liable to get themselves killed, rather then anybody else. They had their fingers on the triggers and had the guns pointed at each other almost as often as they had them at the people they were threatening.

Yeah I saw that on Twitter a little while ago. The amount of racists bending over backward to justify the behavior of those two is absolutely disgusting.

Follow-up on the above post. This one hurts because CHIKARA for years built itself up on the reputation that it was a "family-friendly" organization.
CHIKARA Pro is shutting down following several allegations
I follow a few of the former CHIKARA roster and twitter and they're hurt by this too. From all accounts the promoter who ran it, Mike Quackenbush, was quite a piece of work.

Not unexpected, but enraging nonetheless...
Jack Gallagher, Joey Ryan, Michael Elgin and Wolfgang All Accused Of Sexual Misconduct
Joey Ryan and Dave Crist have been fired from Impact Wrestling as a result of those misconduct accusations. Michael Elgin has only been suspended thus far.

She's a hero, but she didn't actually prevent anyone from showing up. There was no point at which tickets would have run out. Everyone who really wanted to go to that rally did so. What the trolls did accomplish was preventing the rally from being cancelled beforehand due to low projected attendance.
She also revealed that small towns in Canada have more people then Trump's rallies. 🤣

three unarmed black men that they will admit to. Who knows how many had burner weapons planted on them after the fact?
Quite a few I'd imagine. I'm certainly not gonna take the cops' word for it that those were the only instances.

Supposedly, some cops have gone out to meet the protestors and then behaved amicably in order to garner good publicity. Once the cameras go away, however...they're back to their usual thuggish shenanigans.
That....doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

It's been an unfortunate year. And we're not even at the halfway point.
It doesn't look like it'll be finished by year's end either, though hopefully by then Trump's attempt at dictatorship will have horribly blown up in his face. I mean I don't know if I ought to be hoping for a full on revolution but....well in my opinion Trump and his followers deserve that fate WAY more then the Romanovs.

Apologies for misunderstanding what you said. I'm just a bit high strung at the moments, due to these unfortunate events.

They railed him, turned his car over and then set it on fire. He's lucky to be alive. Conflicting reports on whether or not he was arrested or let go. Police hauled him out of there before someone got the idea to stab him with his own arrow.

Well what were they supposed to do, hold still so the psycho could do his Robin Hood impression and maybe kill them?

It's a horrible day in WWE.
Just plain horrible if you ask me. With next to no options for these wrestlers to get new work due to the virus, WWE cans them all. Really a disgusting move.

For myself, I'd like to know why the AIs decided to attack Mars--whether it was an extreme reaction to human bigotry, or something else. I tend to get annoyed by unsolved or unaddressed mysteries.
Well I'd imagine that would get addressed sometime during the series itself. Can't reveal everything in episode one after all.

Of course Slott also wrote Superior Spider-Man and Spiderverse, so I'm a tad conflicted on that recommendation. I mean Into the Spiderverse was awesome but the Spiderverse comic was just interesting alternate versions of Spidey being slain by uninteresting characters related to a villain I can't stand. I mean seriously, I'd take a Spider Ma'am comic over anything involving the Inheritors any day of the week.
