Marvel's Civil War: A Retrospective

A gent by the name of Benjamin Franklin once said, "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

And with that being said, check out the latest installment of Random Fandom where host Drew Taylor and I discuss Marvel's the Civil War and why it failed

I think the actual quote is:

"Those who would sacrifice liberty in the name of security, neither deserve, nor will they receive, either."

I believe when that discussion came up in K-Box's Blog I put it this way: Civil War was the most realistic story Marvel ever did in that a horrible incident was turned into the basis of a good idea. The good idea became botched horribly in execution, and a political football. However while the side with Editorial God on its side had the more consistent argument as far as the Law and Order nature of superhero comics is concerned, the Pro-Reg side was ultimately right Because Editorial-God Sez So.

It's bad writing and one instance where what could have been both epic storylines and ultimately a truly awesome story turned into the first instance that I remember of "Fuck you Fans, we're better fans and we're writing this so STFU."

This totally random

But have you seen "I love you Philliph Morris"?

If you have I'm interested in hearing your opinion of it.

If you haven't I totally recommended it. If you need something thats truly romantic and a comedy, watch it. Jim Carrey and Ewan Mcgregor are awesome and so adorable in it.
