    Netflix's "The Punisher", first 20 minutes

    I'm really enjoying it. I haven't finished it. But also I find it weird that it's kind of like an origin story for Frank. Except we had all that in Daredevil. At the end of Daredevil he was pretty much the Punisher fully formed. Killed everyone related to his families death, cache of guns...

    Choose your own adventure books.

    I would also point out all the Lone Wolf books are free to download thanks to the generosity of Joe Dever the writer and also fans have made online versions to play it out on a computer or tablet. https://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Home

    Blowing your tax returns thread 2017

    Nothing I didn't get much. I got a large untaxed government incentive payment earlier in the year and if it wasn't for all the deductions I made I'd still owe the government money. This confused me because in Australia we don't have separate tax and federal taxes, you don't have to report your...

    Poll: Would you want to see settlement and/or weapon crafting in a Obsidian designed Fallout

    I liked making homes. But I hated settlement managment. So I'd like to be able to custom build a home base. With perhaps prefab options for those who don't want to. I liked weapon mods too.

    Characters Who Are Both Scientists and Magicians

    Doom is really the best Marvel example as he is equally a master in both areas. Dr Strange has really moved away from Medicine/Neurosurgery (he has no other science background and surgery is equal parts evidence based medicine but also a practical skill rather than outright science). He did...

    Fixing Netflix's iron fist (spoilers)

    Also if you gave him a mask like in the comics you can get a professional martial artist/stuntman to do the fight scenes. Superhero costume and prop design have come a long way. Daredevil's mask looks great. I'm sure they could make something work. I don't think it's petty. Daredevil's...

    When will the Comic Book Movie fatigue hit the majority of fans? Or has it already begun/happened?

    I guess if you care that much about what other people are saying. I mean I just switch off. There's things I enjoy, if other people enjoy other things cool. I enjoy the MCU. And as you say below Everyone is doing this about everything. It's not just superhero films. How many oscar award winning...

    When will the Comic Book Movie fatigue hit the majority of fans? Or has it already begun/happened?

    I haven't actually gotten around to seeing it so I couldn't really comment on it. No I'm not. Though I also haven't been watching everything that comes out (which is an option crazy). I hadn't actually seen BVS or Suicidie Squad until they turned up on my Netflix. I did miss Wonder Woman, I was...

    So, American Gods

    Oh I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, or that it's not untrue of certain parts of the USA. I can see how people can see it as being political comment though. Yeah I like the way the series is touching on Jesus whereas he barely turned up in the book (small mention of a well off movie...

    Shiver Me Timbers! (or, a discussion about Pirates of the Caribbean)

    How does a film fuck up Blackbeard played by Ian Mcshane?

    Happy Superman Day!

    I saw a kids shirt for sale the other day with a picture of Superman and the caption "above the rest" and I felt sad that the designer completely did not understand the point of superman.

    So, American Gods

    The Vulcan stuff was a bit on the nose was't it? It wasn't in the original book...but I can see what they are doing with it. They're setting the precedent of a town that flourishes due to a patron god but that the process needs sacrifice. If you've read the book you know what town is similar...

    Movies that would make good TV shows

    The Watchmen would have fared better as an episodic series I think.
