    Poll: Would you let your kid play (American) football in school?

    What's your view on boxing and MMA? I'm genuinely curious.

    I want to watch the Marvel Movies..where should I start?

    I find that mileage seems to vary on which ones people enjoy to which degree. Personally, I love Iron Man, Avengers, Winter Soldier, and Guardians, and I still really enjoy Captain America and both Iron Man sequels.

    Recommend me some good TV shows.

    Terriers- only one season long but it manages to tell a very solid and complete story in 13 episodes with a satisfying conclusion. Rescue Me- very funny while also very intense and dramatic at times (being a series about firefighters and all), plus the entire cast has great chemistry with...

    Your Most Hated Interpretation of A Character you like?

    Hmmm... most of mine are already mentioned, so I'll just throw in Andrea in the Walking Dead TV show In the comics, Andrea is easily one of my favorite characters, just because she's a good blend of competent and badass as the sniper of Rick's group, while still feeling like a very real...

    [Legend of Korra Finale Spoilers] Implied with a sledgehammer!

    I've already addressed this. There's clearly more than one way to interpret the "buildup." I'm not doing a side-by-side comparison between the two, but my original point is that the idea remains the same. "PS by the way guys, they're totally gay for each other!" It's ambiguous because...

    [Legend of Korra Finale Spoilers] Implied with a sledgehammer!

    I compare it to the Dumbledore situation because Korassami is technically canon in that same way that Dumbledore is technically gay. Yes, they held hands; but to a lot of people this doesn't really mean a lot. Yes, you could very well look at some of their recent interactions as build-up to...

    Bleach: oi vay

    Bleach is honestly one of the most boring big shonen series out there right now. I stopped reading shortly after the Aizen fight, which felt like the right place to end the series even if that whole arc was so awful. But then I subscribed to Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha and, well, since Bleach is...

    What comic books do you read?

    Ones that I regularly keep up with: - East of West - Pretty Deadly- though I don't know whether or not this one's already done after only 5 issues - Revival - Saga - Sonic the Hedgehog/Sonic Universe - Stray Bullets - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW) - The Walking Dead I also keep...

    I Hate Bulma

    Bulma and ChiChi were actually not too bad in the original manga. The anime, like most anime adaptations, just tended to exaggerate their more negative qualities for the sake of comedy and ended up taking it too far so that it actually became annoying.

    You can give one TV show an unlimited budget. What is it?

    The only currently running one I can think of is Agents of Shield for already mentioned reasons. Otherwise, I would love to bring back some cancelled shows, if just to give them an actual conclusion. Deadwood- I just watched the first season and I'm reluctant to watch the next two seasons...

    End of the bronie world?

    I still haven't seen the last few episodes, but I actually liked Season 3. I'm surprised at all the vitriol it gets when it felt no better or worse than the first two seasons. OT: I don't care one way or the other about the spin-off. It should do a crossover with Gotham High though.

    Entertainment with female protagonists.

    For books, I recommend the Oz series by Frank T. Baum. Almost all of them feature a girl as the main protagonist. For games, there's the Portal series, of course. For comics, I always enjoyed Dan Slott's run on She-Hulk, even if it does wear out the whole "I didn't sleep with the...

    Great Comics for the Uninitiated

    Saga is a good read that started fairly recently. Kind of a Romeo and Juliet story set in an alien world where two people from warring civilizations fall in love and are consequently on the run form everyone else. From the same writer, there's also Y The Last Man, an apocalyptic story where...

    So does Samurai Jack and the Power Puff Girls take place in the same universe?

    While most of them are Easter Eggs, Dexter's Lab and Powerpuff Girls always seem to take place in the same universe to me. There's even an episode where the PPG team up with Major Glory, along with Val Hallen and a bunch of other super heroes, which goes beyond just a simple cameo and outright...
