    I was terrified of that movie when I was little. Even the good guy puppets where creepy as balls.

    Did supergirl just defeat superman? And it seems every main charactor in the show knows her cover now...why does she still bother...

    Supergirl has been hinted at as being more powerful than Superman in the comics at various times as well, the reasoning being that Clark has spent his whole life learning to control his powers and is almost always holding back while Kara does not. However, since Superman believed he was fighting Zod, he would probably be fighting at full strength. So this version of Supergirl is unequivocally more powerful.

    Kara is much better at keeping her secret identity than the Flash. But why does she wear glasses in her own apartment or the DEO?

    I'm guessing that was Doomsday we saw at the end. Wonder if Superman will be back? And poor Martian Manhunter. The writers keep having to find ways to take him out of a fight since he's crazy-powerful.

    Also, American Gods. Last night's episode was the best yet, owing mainly to the Laura and Mad Sweeney scenes. I'd take an entire series like that.

    Speaking of, Neil Gaiman says a sequel to the novel is on its way soon- in as little as five years!

    Nah. It was Reign.

    Odette Annable has signed on to play her. She's similar to Doomsday, but specific to Supergirl.

    So, i've waited long enough. WONDER WOMAN, anyone? So, is Wonder Woman suddenly not a Nerd thing. News to me. I'd have been thrilled to hear it fifteen years ago.

    C'mon, folks, it's been five days, surely someone with two XX chromosomes has an opinion of it by now!

    I'm bursting at the seams! i was waiting for a girl to say something before I unloaded on how COOL THAT MOVIE WAS.

    I kinda want to see it, even though superhero movies aren't usually my thing. I like that it was a female director who directed it. The movie made history at the box office. So yeah, I would watch it. I'll probably wait until after it leaves theaters and is on streaming sites though.

    It's terrific. That's my non-spoiler review. Saying anything about it, really, is a spoiler since most people aren't as familiar with WW's origin as they are with Superman, Spiderman or Batman'. As in where she gets her powers from, etc... How it is she can pick up a tank and that stuff (Hint: No other Amazon can do that, there's something else about her). That's all act 1. Act 2 is her in 1918 London, dealing with the gender roles of the day and a bit of politics. There's a lot of amusing moments where she is faced with stuff that was par-for-the-course in WW1, meanwhile having been raised among nothing but warrior females she has no frame of reference to understand what she's seeing. She's a bit naive but not, annoyingly so. She's never seen a baby before, for instance. But they don't stay on the fish out of water story long. Act 3 is all Wonder Woman. There's a scene with her crossing no-man's-land that will knock you flat. It was just a great scene.

    The last movie Patty Jenkins directed was "Monster" with Charlize Theron. Not a bad resume.

    There are a couple of movies I would like to see:
    Most of these ideas are from comic books and fan theories

    1. The Predalien vs. Terminator

    2. Eloise: Half Andoid and half Alien (xenomorph)

    3. Batman vs. Predator

    4. Prometheus Fire and Stone

    Know what's weird? I have never, in my life, encountered the word "syllabub." It is apparently an English drink/dessert of some kind. I first learned of it yesterday while reading "The Princess Bride," which I talked about in the book thread. The weird part is that I just watched tonight's "American Gods" and the same word pops up!

    Unusual episode. But Laura and Mad Sweeney are the best television ever. I love her complete and total nonchalance.

    Just thought of something...

    Everyone knows the famous Superman comic in which he fought Muhammad Ali, right?

    Ali has a daughter, Laila, who was a boxer herself for a time.

    There is currently a popular show featuring Supergirl.

    Why hasn't this happened already?

    alittle self boast moment, and I cant get into too much detail, but I just finished a little Mini book to go along with the infinite glory comic from Cali comics.it's not my usual style of art that i did, but I've also done more than a few character concepts that remained true in the actual bo9oks that are currently out, but its a really good series so far. only books 0 and 1 are out for physical books or downloads- a nice break from the norm and getting back to my comic roots ^_^

    Yeah syllabub was a drink popular during the Victorian era, when there was no coke, etc. It tastes kind of like a warm alcoholic milkshake. I haven't had a second one. Some people still drink it.
