Definitely going to check out Conan The Barbarian. Your review of DSTRLY: The Devil's Cut is very interesting. It's hard to get the balance right with an anthology, where you're trying to tell complete stories but still get people interested in the new books. It sounds like they didn't even try to do complete stories.
Enjoyed the news sorry I missed the live show.
The James Gunn stuff is so weird. I think peopl forget that Twitter was a different place 10+ years ago. It was just a place for shit-posts.
Snyder fan boys are the most pretentious lot aren’t they?
I loved Batman Returns, the only Batman movie I really liked.
Ok idk why someone gave you a hard time for enjoying talking about the flash topic but its your show.
The video quality, lighting and engagement gets better every week. From someone from the old production eating challenge days of the spinner rack, keep it up my friend
16:40 – I admire the connection you have with your fans; they will even confess getting into taking PCP to you!
52:14 – This is wrong. A "mash note" is a note you write to confess your feelings to someone you have a crush on. The comic is a "mash note" expressing his love of the subject.
I don't get why people keep comparing Barbie's box office with older movies? There's a thing called "inflation". So, a Harry Potter movie released 20 years ago, adjusted for inflation, probably did better than Barbie did.
snyder fans are the worst… I wasn't expecting such a stupid "cancellation" of gunn
I don't think there has been a ton of 2D content for VR aside from just watching videos on a big "screen". It would make more sense to adapt their work into 3D in some way, maybe be able to move around in the scene or something. Just make models in the style of the art.
I feel that the DC property would do better owned by someone else that's not Discovery/WB. Their current and past CEO's didn't realize the gold mine they were sitting on. Maybe someone else more competent can put quality time and attention to DC and put out high end content.
I will never pay a penny for a DC product with Gunns name attached.
44:22 I can’t wait to see the outrage from people who have never read a single Archie comic, that are all of a sudden going to become Archie‘s biggest fans.
Personally , I ate a bunch of magic mushrooms with friends and saw Batman Begins on the big screen, That sh't was AMAZING.
I’m not saying this is the case of EVERYBODY that loves Tim Burton’s Batman movies, but the people I know that do, love them because of nostalgia.
I’m not a very nostalgic person so I find them ridiculous and accidentally funny.
The Devil's Cut is a brilliant name for a portion of something that makes you feel ripped off.
Another great show!!!! Thank you Chris!!🤖🧟♂️🦸🏼♂️
Hi Chris! I agree, Ross Andru's an underrated Spider-Man artist. His approach was classic anatomy with a ton of foreshortening and really dynamic poses and angles. Also voted for Comic Tropes over at Comic Book Community. More power to you and all the folks here =). Oh yeah, the food is amazing in Osaka.
I was having my doubts with James Gunn recently. Unlike "Slither" and "Super", none of his DC movies were even worth watching. But those Batman movie statements certainly rather put him in a good light for me. I agree with everything he said there. Tim Burton's version has a great Gotham City, but everything else is boring, bad and often cringeworthy, IMO. Nolan's trilogy also didn't do much for me, due to messy story construction, trope-overload and Batman seeming horribly slow on the uptake.
Christian Bale's Batman voice is also cringe, as well as a part of the last movie, where they put up the facepalm story idea that a little girl would be able to jump farther than a man who trained his entire life to be at peak human fitness level.

Agree…3D still images would be a good idea for a VR comic, if you could actually freely move around in them and maybe discover details that the protagonist(s) and other characters cannot see.
