94) There was never a Supergirl movie. It's a myth! Mass delusion! Make it stop!!

92) Problems with the Spawn movie are too numerous to mention. I had 2 gripes. One they screwed up the bad guy's henchman, that gal was supposed to be a guy and with a different name. Two was they tried to cram the story of the first 200 comicbooks into a single film. Three, had to add, was that Violator couldn't talk in Demon form and got massively huge. Other than that, it pretty much sucked...

...though the sneak peek of Angela was kinda cool.

89) Meh. When dealing with parallel realities it isn't a question of which Earth is the "real" one. There's just the reality that the others diverged from or our reflections of.

Actually, Owlman was the one chracter I had the most issues with. Although, were it not for his take in the comics I'd probably have liked this animated one more.

86) Kinda amused reading your Doctor Strange one, was trying to figure if this was the animated one or the live action one you were talking about... only to find you ( ... )

I do know of the Dr. Strange film from the seventies. It's a TV pilot, I believe, though it never became a series. I suppose I should watch that one day. It's clearer on my tumblr, where I've been posting the list (I am way ahead over there) with accompanying pictures.

And yeah, 300 is painfully homoerotic in every way. Let's face it, any time you have a property that's as shallow as a kiddie pool and deals with half-naked men asserting their masculinity, it's going to be homoerotic. ESPECIALLY when you're dealing with the goddamned Greeks! It literally does NOT get more homoerotic than that. Freud wasn't a moron.

Also, there is a difference between "this movie isn't good" and "this movie is different from the comics," right? I assume you know this. You get hung up on the changes in continuity from something like Spawn, when in fact the Spawn comic is generally pretty terrible.

I keel you!

Nowadays Spawn is of questionable quantity, but originally it was kickass.
