X-Men: First Class (5)
June 3, 2011
Fairly confident this is my favorite X movie. Closest we’ll get to a team origin ‘60s period piece.
Kevin Bacon has the most charisma of a non-McKellen villain, but a weird Hellfire Club.
And you can’t think AT ALL about character ages in relation to comics.

Batman: Assault on Arkham (DCAU 32)
July 29, 2014
Fun & solid. Honestly not that far off from the live action film 2 years later, just set fully in Arkham, with more Batman and focused in particular on his villains.
Pretty much fits right in with the Rocksteady games, with a lot of the same cast.

I don't think companies realize this yet but going "complete AI game development" isn't giving "the future" it's giving "we're broke." Like y'all just don't want to pay wages.
NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development.
"No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows."

Near conceding defeat on comic recaps.
Thought I’d untangled the mess of starting w/how deep in Marvel I am, but it’s too time-consuming to do all of it just “for fun”.
Unfortunately if I want to read Bats, X-Men & Star Wars in this lifetime it’s gotta be concurrent. At least a decade total each.

Sonic In Your Face! puts Sally in the weirdest fetish-y protective training gear I have ever seen.
And explains her new vest as inherited from her recently passed mentor.
And she gets a sentient pocket computer named Nicole. And a blue Rambo headband temporarily. But no pants.

I enjoy month to month comic breakdowns more than trying to piece together a coherent chronology across decades and multiple universes.
Post aesthetics though I think, IF I’m to recap forever, I visually like 1 cover at a time more than batching weeks or months together in smaller thumbnails.

Not the first instance, but fascinating to me that random events of the last 40 years of wrestling can fit so well lyrically with nonsensical, vulgar songs.

I fear the detail of knowledge I’m gaining from internets as I read through Star Wars.
Like the couple accosted by a biker gang in the 2nd episode of Book of Boba Fett are Luke’s friends from the deleted scene at Tosche Station in the original movie but retained in the novel and comic.

Everything I’m invested in current now except Rangers, I think - closer start than I realized - I’ll give this return to weekly viewing one more go for VisionQuest, but pretty sure I’ve re-wired my brain to prefer just an episode of 1 show every day through a season, starting just before the finale.

Trek delayed me a few days, but finished Lanterns.
Like it quite a bit, acting is great. Kinda felt odd though it basically climaxes 2/3 through and then the pace slows drastically.
I like the general path forward of this DCU, but I don’t particularly love its history & where it’s been.

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me

In issue #16, Robotnik traps the Freedom Fighters inside The Matrix 5 years before that movie was made, and Sally - to no explanation - has switched skin and hair color to the appearance she will more or less carry for the next 20 years.

Think I’m liking this comic recap model, though we’ll see how difficult it gets to cram in a paragraph once multiple issues hit per week/month.
Doing 1 Bat month nightly at the moment for fear of catching up to where I’m at too quick, since a 4-story Batman issue takes me 2 days to read.

I think that’s the plan, I’ll roll reading Batman awhile(in 1944, so OnLy like 50 months to recap) & I’ll cycle in others when Marvel ramps in the ‘60s and Star Wars in the ‘70s.
Believe that’s all I want to post, don’t think I care to that extent about FF or Dredd or GI Joe to cover their history.

I’ve concluded in my comic reading that if I’m to “recap” the series I want - Batman, Star Wars, Spider-Man, X-Men - I’m more interested in it historically & in artwork than actually breaking down stories beat by beat.

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

Was going crazy trying to place Monroe Robertson as this diner thug in episode 5 of Lanterns despite not recognizing the characters from any of his credits.
Before final realizing he was Zayn Malik in all the YT Key of Awesome One Direction parodies.

Engaging story(Terry O’Quinn rules), definitely more in line with structural and tonal expectations of an SH.
But while f maybe went a little too heavy on combat, the stealth(and a couple puzzles) here gets frustrating and tedious, especially the hospital and last section.
