@BlackCasebook This all opens the way for the true GOAT of disposable fantasy goons: The humble Re-Animated Skeleton

@VeryanAnduren @ironvell There was, but it's considered unlikely given the contexts of where it's found (if they were for sewing we'd primarily find them in homes, which isn't the case) and that the sewing methods it would have used were first recorded around 1500 AD, which wouldn't track with their age.

@Skylinex13 And imo how Krakoa and Ultimate Universe 2 ended up getting treated also makes pretty clear that even if they somehow managed to stick the landing on it to deliver a critical and commercial success, Marvel would still find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

@bornposting NGL the most whiplash I've gotten from comics in a while was seeing that we were finally gonna get another Indiana Jones run only for them to have given the reins to Aaron.

Tuning in to the latest ep of @BlackCasebook

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@RobertSecundus Something deeply hilarious about using the 9/11 Memorial strip to put Fritzi in a skin-tight black dress.

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@BlackCasebook Also feel it's always fitting that the primary enemy of the FF, a group frequently framed as the vanguard of the Future, is so overtly Medieval in appearance.

@bornposting Martin Campbell making two totally tonally different reboots of Bond that are easily some of the best in the series is honestly one of the most impressive feats in franchise filmmaking imo.

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@bornposting Survival is also a great finale for the show as a whole imo, especially for a serial that was never intended to serve that purpose and had the most that was changed to fit that be some final lines ADR'ed in.

@M0BILESUITZER0 While I think the front and back thirds of the SM2 are fairly weak, that middle third that ends in the Venom section is probably the best these games get imo

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@BobbensArtDen Black's Rebirth re-design to put him in all black pushes the comparison even further (and Tomasi and Ennis have been friends since he was the editor on Hitman, so it's likely an intentional allusion imo)

@revvzyy @bornposting Tbh even without the fan reaction, I think they're very obviously similar plot beats to the point I'm very surprised they did them so close together.

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@bornposting Always really respect Eastwood's choice to revisit the mysterious drifter archetype that made him famous, but doing so to ask "what if that guy was (either literally or metaphorically) The Devil Himself"

Feels a move few would even try, and even fewer would pull off like he does

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@BlackCasebook Also really like the increasingly prominent motif Dragotta communicates of all the classic Batcave/Wayne Manor stuff still being there, but with the sense it's been taken over by this uncanny presence that just shouldn't be there, almost like a ghost in an old family photo.

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@PinstripeBungle Whenever I read about one of those instances of some Indigenous person who got kidnapped to eventually serve as translator or guide by some Western expedition/voyage, I can't help but think of the parallels to Alien Abductions in what it must have felt like to experience.

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@bornposting Definitely far from a conventional Western, but would really recommend Ravenous as a great looking, very heavily snowed in example of one (also a great movie on it's own imo, and very underseen)

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@BlackCasebook Mash together the Funny Weird Guy and Socially Isolated Guy shticks he's done on occasion and I can see him pulling a solid performance of original recipe John Jones/J'onn J'onzz

[Spud Murphy @SpudMictlan]

@BlackCasebook I honestly think like 90% of Batman discourse on the internet is really about Arkham Bats specifically, a lot of it makes way more sense if you assume that specific take is their internal model of the character.
