Oh and going back to that judge you mentioned (got a link to that mentioned statement?) it kind of makes sense that a comic fan would become such a respected judge.

I mean once you've exercised your mind untangling comics continuity US law would be easy!

Sometimes I wonder... if anybody actaully stops and listens to thier own ideas

So Solar and Void met, **** each other so hard that they break the universe causing the two universes to merge

Say that with a straight face

Link to the case.

Mcfarlane is the classic example of the Rebel who wins the war... and then makes himself the New Dictator

What are you kidding? ALL OF COMICS was built on NOT stopping and thinking about ideas. Go on, describe Superman, Spider-man, Green Lantern, etc etc out loud.

If anything I think some modern comics could do with a dose of silliness. It's why I love IDW's cartoon network comics.

Loving the Comic Book series so far. After all that Liefeld bashing, I was worried Mac Farlane would be left out. NOPE! Called him out for the hypocrite he is.

You can say that about most media really.

• soap Operas: Casts of character develop relations, then break up, the make up again then break up and make up with other characters amidst suprise pregnancies, abortions, miscarriage, deaths and stuff.
• Halo: Guy in powered armor last of a line of powered armored enhanced kidnapped children goes and single handedly stops alien invasion and The Virus focused around ring-shapped giant space stations who can blow up the universe. He does so single handedly and doesn't afraid of anything.
• Greek Mythology: People on top of a mountain have a grab bag of super powers that make no sense when comparing them to one another, have lots of incestuous sex and rape and are generally douchebags. Patricide a running theme.
• Star Trek: Multi-species federation sends Flagship full of humans and only one alien is on a 5 year mission of exploration yet constantly is back at its factions' spaceport or doing other things that have nothing to do with exploring. Captain sticks his penis in almost anything that has a vagina he comes across and the ship's doctor makes a lot of racist remarks towards the one alien but it's okay coz it's a utopia so no one calls him on this and racism doesn't exist (nor does money).
• Diablo: Devil and his three brothers get their asses kicked out of hell by their minions and then wander earth where they get their asses kicked by humans who then put them in gems where they break out of and then get their asses kicked by adventurers (Twice) before ending in a third gem where they are all merged and get their asses kicked by humans again. Just. As. Planned.

Superman: Stronger than a locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

That wasn't so hard.

See? Totally silly.

BTW, on the soap opera you forgot to include all the amnesia.

ETA: ... OOOO Oooooohhhhh.

The biggest danger is falling into the "George Lucas" trap: I have the vision, it's my IP and what I say goes."

Gene Roddenberry, Rick Berman, Branoon Bragga and now Image comics "bad boys" RobLiefeld and Todd Mc Farlane. A creator who believes their own hype risks becoming a Fallen Creator.

Whatever you can say about deathmate least its premise was accurate....one of the companies involved did die....

Ethics, aka the one where all doubt as to whether the universe hates Worf is eliminated.

I thought the guest doctor Toby Russell was a Strawman, however:

And to top it off, barely a half dozen years after TNG went off the air, a sales rep killed a patien in the OR. LawAndOrder made an episode about it.

She's not a monster, just ahead of the curve.

Red Dwarf: Fathers and Suns

Once again, monopolistic capitalism saves the day!

Fall of the house of Ideas?

More like the Burning of the House of ideas

Next chapter... MAXIMUM CLONAGE!!

The house of ideas has it well run dry for some time now.

Ah the Spawn movie was just on FX, a night ago.

Martin Sheen and Mindy Clarke (my #3 90's girlcrush) chew the scenery. John Leguizamo's Clown is an Ensemble Dark Horse. But Spawn himself is as exciting as dried toast.

The film didn't age well. The kid who kinda sorta becomes the sidekick is annoying (I wanted to see him get sent to hell).

The cartoon series WildCats and Savage Dragon were So Okay, It's Average.

Even the x-men film had a plot that has "issues".

It's no wonder that The '90s was the Dork Age of comics...

Only because of Marvel, 90's DC books kicked all kinds of ass.

Their movies on the other hand

Knightfall... Death of Superman (which that dude from Chronicle made an entire video (With Elijah Woods and Simon Pegg and others) about how awful it was and how damaging it was to the comic industry as a whole both in terms of money and art in the long term), its follow-up Zero Hour, Armageddon 2001, etc... DC had plenty of real Stinkers in the 90s. It has some great gems too (Kingdom Come is one of my all times favorite comics in the entirety of ever), but I wouldn't go so far as to say DC really had some quality advantage over Marvel. Sure, most of Marvel's most "celebrated" stinkers are from the 90s, and most of DC's are from the 2000s, but in both eras both companies have stuff they oughta be ashamed of as well as great issues.

Marvel may have shat out the clone saga and Maximum Carnage and Onslaught and other legendarily awful crap in the 90s, but it also gave us Age of Apocalypse, The Infinity Gauntlet, among others.

The first part of Knightfall was great, the Az-Bat portion went on too long.

We had the Neil Gaiman's Endless, Morrison's JLA, Peter David's Aquaman, Mark Waid's Flash...

The 90's kicked ass, all right.

DS9: Hippocratic Oath

Back in the Worf episode, Chuck said that Worf was paralyzed from the waist down. However I remember Worf being paralyzed from the neck down. I recall when he first wakes up he says he can't move because he thinks he's in a restraining field. If he could have moved his arms then wouldn't he have done so? And he never actually sits up or moves his arms the entire episode...
