@mynameisliang @briankoppelman True.

@Linkara19 made the X-Men and mutants popular and a key cornerstone of the Marvel Universe.

[Jason Turner @foolhardywriter]

@Linkara19 No, he didn’t create the initial character. But he and Jack Kirby did bring the character back into prominence in such a way that it is how most people associate the character today.
Kinda like how Claremont didn’t create the X-Men, but he and artists like Cockrum and Byrne…

@Variety must be understood within that context much the same way that Great Gatsby and Farewell to Arms must be taken within the context of their eras.
Watchmen is meant to showcase why Superheroes are better within the realm of fantasy and fiction, not gritty realism.
Further,…

@Variety imagery of the panels without understanding the textual and subtextual purposes behind the imagery.
Watchmen is a story about the comics medium at large. It is replete with allegories to and references of the various tropes of the Golden, Silver, and Bronze Ages of comics. It…

@DanPovenmire Why the Great Fairy Fountain Theme? Are you guys implying that Phineas is the current incarnation of Link? Is Phineas and Ferb set in modern day Hyrule? Have I been over analyzing? The answer to all of those is...wait, did I forget to do my taxes?

@Kotaku They just need to sell their video game library to Kojima or Sony. If they’re not going to utilize their assets, why let them collect dust? Metal Gear and Castlevania both deserve better than to become Pachinko generators.

[Jason Turner @foolhardywriter]

@_hanatwothree He’d be a great Ben Grimm or Arcade.

[Jason Turner @foolhardywriter]

@wolfinsheeps Even worse; This bad faith criticism was all started by John K.
Die on the John K hill if they wish, but know who’s position these people are actually arguing.
It’s one thing to have a stylistic preference with genuine criticism, but it’s another thing entirely to push...

@Polygon It’s a great game, but there’s too much water.
Also, Mozart’s operas are wonderful, but there are too many notes.

[Jason Turner @foolhardywriter]

@_CharlesMurphy No thx, unless Konami gives Kojima creative control over that and Metal Gear. What Konami’s done to its brands in the past couple of years except for Castlevania on Netflix has been utterly shameful. I get that Pachinko is big in Japan, but come on. Either treat it well or sell.

@Variety Once the Detroit ballots are finally accounted for, he’s finished there. And he knows it. #LoserInChief

@RudyGiuliani @realDonaldTrump What’s wrong Rudy? Upset to see democracy at work? I can’t wait until the ballots in Philadelphia, Detroit, and Las Vegas are all back. Drumpf, and you, are finished.

Hickenlooper was far from my choice to be senator, but at least that sycophant Gardner is gone.

@Polygon Thirty years ago.

@Polygon You know, I feel that Moore can be a bit overly bitter about his works later usage even when it’s done well(HBO Watchmen, Blackest Night, For the Man Who Has Everything), but in this case...maybe it’s best to tell new Joker stories as opposed to rehashing the same story from 1/2
