The Big Picture: Continanity: Rebooted

As a Bostonian myself, I find it difficult to listen to Bob's lovable snobbery through the accent I usually hear from guys doing construction work or running subway stations. I hope this is a passing fling.
You know, all this discussion about comic books and continuity and franchises is interesting, but I think it would be best to keep some PERSPECTIVE on the REAL ISSUES and talk about CHILD STARVATION.
Wait, I'm still thinking of the last video... oh well, Bob's point still stands, why should anyone care about any "controversial" nerd-centric subject when the world is in such dire straits?

Summation of comments.
"How was the content?"
"It had an accent, things were said I assume."
This nearly equals the Extra Credits when they had the Digital Cowboys and people complained about the English accents they had. The Digital Cowboys are English by the way. Movie Bob is Bostonian and often tries to cover it up. I say, shine on you crazy diamond!

Ok ignoring the accent, this had been an insightful episode. It is quite a advantage that we can look up informations within second compare to info finding in the early 90's (before or when internet had been created with 56k modern).
I had assume one of the reason for the reboot is to make them young again since after all comicbook characters don't age with us.

Maybe Bob has gotten into Jersey Shore?
Good episode. I agree that for the most part, you can just jump on and read. If you can get in at the very start of an arc of an ongoing series it might help, but generally you can pick up the back issues cheap enough.
The point of advertising is a great one. Now that I think of it, all the success that Marvel have had with their movies, I've never seen them try advertise the comics. I know the movies are pretty much giant advertisements anyway, but regardless, it could have sold more books to simple push some advertising space on things like posters "check out more Iron man in his ongoing series!"
I'm looking forward to the "relaunch". Justice League 1 was very cool to read. Even if all this does turn into another Crisis I'm still glad it's happening.

17 posts until someone got the joke. Only 2 people in the posts preceding it didn't mention the accent. Sometimes I guess you can be a little too subtle.OMG Aero said:
OT: This is an issue that has been plaguing PC gaming up until digital distribution took centre stage as well - the issue of availability. I wonder if Windows will get a reboot any time in the near future.
Oh. Wait.
maybe because it isn't a Brooklyn accent its a Boston(and its real) he tones down/hides it for 90% of the things he dose but some episodes it just slipsDeGoon said:
Great topic, but I'm surprised it conjured up his Boston-ness.
As a native New Hampshirite I am now unfortunately legally required to make a joke "wherein the behavior of Boston Drivers is criticized in a most amusing fashion." So um . . . man, I'm certainly not going to discuss the state of SyFy's lineup while MovieBob's at the wheel! I bet Roddenberry and Asimov are glad they consulted on the channel's foundation!
(I would have done the whole dropping Rs New Hampshire thing but I have no idea how to do that with "Roddenberry.")

See, this is a classic example of being confused by something and not caring enough to do the research for it. 90% of the audience doesn't realize that Bob is from Boston, despite him having mentioned it a few times both in his Escapist works and in the Game Overthinker.
New Jersians don't have horrible Boston accents. God, the only thing worse than that is the Chicago accent.Jesus Phish said:
