Comparing Whedon to Meyer is an apples to oranges situation. Meyer has a small fanbase that like her works but it is generally criticised heavily by critics. Whedon, on the other hand, has consistently received acclaim and been recognised for his work by all sorts of organisations. When you?re...

Yeah, I figured the comment was more in jest than serious criticism, yes I see what you're saying about blending a bunch of characters to reach the punchline. Ignoring that comment which obviously rubbed me the wrong way, this was pretty good. I roll my eyes every time a film is advertised...

"A female character who is capable of beating up male enemies twice her size like they were made of jell-o but also has the appearance, physique and temperament of an emotionally-traumatized teenager. Also, she is almost totally uninformed about sex, save that she is fiercely (yet demurely)...

This needed to be said, thanks for going ahead and doing that. Come on guys, we really can't continue to mock and belittle Twilight fans if we are going to respond with self righteous outrage when the fans of another film are mocked. Anyway, Bob called a hypothetical person who honestly believed...

As has been previously stated though, Yahtzee has said worse things before to his audience and nobody appears to mind because he's funnier. It seems odd that people are alright if somebody insults them by calling them a sheep or a drooling idiot providing they also make them laugh. Either way...

I find the responses to this very interesting indeed. I just watched this http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/203-Braid video again and found it startlingly relevant to the current situation regarding this review, the Expendables and Scott Pilgrim to some extent. Of...

I find myself intensely sceptical that a film released this year, not long ago just happens to be the third greatest film ever made in all the decades that people have been making films. It was good, it will likely be a huge commercial success and garner critical acclaim but then again, so have...

I've also enjoyed talking to you, I'm glad we got to discuss these things reasonably. It's always nice to discuss these things with a fellow comic fan and I agree that sometimes people concentrate too much on snark when discussing negatives. Positives really should be discussed more, after all...

I apologise for being so presumptuous with what I said, of course it's your perogative to say your peice. I wouldn't say that Nolan's Batman films were not deserving of snide commentary, if that's what you were referring to, though. They are of course excellent but I think that there is room...

I think you're reading way too much into what was said. I agree with you that the Green Lantern costume is not a big deal and isn't worth complaining about but I don't begrudge someone for not liking it and that isn't an uncommon opinion. Furthermore, we've seen nothing from the film bar those...

I like Whedon's work quite a bit, many people forget that he also wrote a lot of the original Toy Story as well, which most people would agree is great. I think his problem though, having watched all his other projects, is that he can get stuck in these inrospective angsty ruts where things move...

Actually, I think Whedon confirmed that he was at least co-writing the screenplay.

How can you possibly tell what doesn't work in a live action adaptation when it hasn't been done before? Marvel has proven that they can stay true to the source material while tweaking things for a film audience and they can probably do the same again. Arguing that including Thanos or the...

Huh, I wondered whether you'd do a video on this considering the lack of films to comment on. I followed most of the coverage but it was good to know that I didn't miss anything. For those who are wary of Joss Whedon, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. He's done some excellent work in the...

This. Although after that one night anybody else in the world would be a step down. meh, it'd still be more than worth it.
