I found the Hobbit very readable, I read it when I was 6. He lost the plot after that.
|
|
|
23:57:44
|
|
|
|
23:57:40
|
|
|
Well Fellowship, for me, was just so much easier to read for whatever reason because it was pretty straightforward
|
|
|
23:57:11
|
|
|
People remake movies, why not books?
|
|
|
23:57:01
|
|
|
I got halfway through Fellowship and stopped. I stopped with the Hobbit after the lightning war. Figured I should end it on a high note.
|
|
|
23:56:59
|
|
|
95% of the literature hipsters would crucify me for that statement, but I think LotR with ASOIAF/etc's writing style would be great.
|
|
|
23:56:17
|
|
|
Someone should write a new version.
|
|
|
23:55:56
|
|
|
I still haven't bothered with anything but The Hobbit, but I'm planning on getting every Middle Earth book maybe by the end of the year
|
|
|
23:55:16
|
|
|
wow I need to be careful when editing sentences. :/
|
|
|
23:54:36
|
|
|
I love Tolkiens imagination and I want to get the full story instead of wiki synopsis. If someone made a more readable version I'd go that in asap.
|
|
|
23:52:17

|
One of my pet hates is people who read books they struggle with and don't fully enjoy so they can seem intellectual. Not saying that's you, but I know people like that and it annoys me.
|
|
|
23:51:24
|
|
|
Got maybe half through Two Towers and had to stop
|
|
|
23:51:14
|
|
|
I read Fellowship of the Ring and it was good.
|
|
|
23:50:30
|
|
|
I didn't enjoy Tolkein post-Hobbit, so I can't see myself ever forcing myself through it.

I'm still attempting to read Children of Hurin and the Silmarillion but damn is Tolkien irritating to read sometimes.
|
|
|
19:21:26
|
|
|
Which reminds me I really need to read more of the Pratchett book...
|
|
|
19:14:19
|
|
|
I really enjoyed what I have read of DCAU stuff, and the Gotham Girls that Claire directed me to, I just haven't kept up with it...
|
|
|
19:12:32
|
|
|
Comics just don't do it for me personally. Although I haven't really read any since I was a tween so what the hell do I know
|
|
|
19:08:21
|
|
I just need to read all these things, so I can have a well-built opinion on them. 
|

My only real criticism of Rocksteady is turning Bane into a meathead.
|

Same here, it's been a long time.

It was very funny when he uninvited her to the party in AA.
|
|
|
17:17:57
|
|
|
Whereas the abuse usually winds up with her leaving him for a bit, before the cycle starts again
|
|
|
17:17:53
|
|
|
Yeah, I accepted it for what it was. They were still great games.
|
|
|
17:17:24
|
|
|
Arkham games were hindered by the fact that they needed them working together for the plots
|
|
|
17:16:37
|
|
|
and I liked that the game addressed Joker's abuse towards Harley more than the Arkham games did.
|
|
|
17:16:33
|
|
|
Then Joker tricks him into killing both of them and setting off a nuclear bomb in Metropolis
|
|
|
17:16:15
|
|
|
No, in the game's universe he was married to Lois who was preggers
|
|
|
17:16:03
|
|
|
I enjoyed the premise for the most part.
|
|
|
17:15:18

....Superman has a kid now?

Fighting back against Aquaman using what has to be the superhero equivalent of a tea-bagging
|
|
|
17:11:03
|
|
|
His excitement over being a parent
|
|
|
17:10:56
|
|
|
Most of the bitching about it has been "Ugh, Superman would NEVER do that!" which baffles me a bit, given that's the whole premise of the non-canonical game, but I thought bits of it were good
|
|
|
17:10:24
|
|
|
I don't expect it will be very good.
|
|
|
17:09:42
|
|
|
The Injustice comic, from the bits I've seen of it, is rather uneven
|
|
|
17:09:14
|
|
|
Check out Gotham Girls too then, which is what it was trying to be
|
|
|
17:08:56
|
|
|
and I might read New 52 Nightwing...and the Injustice comic. *cough*
|
|
|
17:08:31
|
|
|
I'll look into it. I started reading Gotham City Sirens lol
|
|
|

Well, they could have used the last issue to tie things up, but they chose to focus on the characters instead (and it was a very good issue)
|
|
|
17:05:56
|
|
|
Batman Adventures v2 was annoyingly cancelled on something of a cliffhanger though
|
|
|
17:05:22
|
|
|
There's Batman Adventures v1, which can pretty much be skipped (they were still working out how it fit with the show and what the show's canon was), the Batman and Robin Adventures, which was good, Gotham Adventures and Batman Adventures v2.
|
|
|
17:04:14

I'm the same with DCAU. The comic world is difficult to follow.
|
|
|
17:02:57
|
|
|
|
17:02:09
|
|
|
I may have mentioned before, but if you miss B:TAS there were follow-up comics
|
|
|
17:01:39
|
|
|
I take the DCAU as my headcanon
|
|
|
16:59:23
|
|
|
i refuse to accept any of it.
|
|
|
16:57:46
|
|
|
Damian? Yeah, sure, he's a murderous jerk. But Dick wouldn't betray Bruce like that.
|
|
|
16:57:26
|
|
|
It was a stupid death, and I don't buy Dick siding with Superkiller over Bruce anyway
|
|
|
16:57:03
|
|
|
That's cos Damian killed Dick in the pre-game comic
|
|
|
16:57:00
|
|
|
Batman doesn't need time travel nonsense.
|
|
|
16:56:46
|
|
|
Apparently being sent through time caused him to forget 1. his massive family of crime-fighters and 2. the Justice League, both of which he'd been supporting for years.
|
|
|
16:56:41
|
|
|
and his ending in the game is...Damian's ending, not Dick's. (granted fighting game endings are just 15 seconds of nothing anyway, but still)
|
|
|
16:56:00
|
|
|
Then there's the time travel thing being his way of having Batman realise that he needs a team of superheroes
|
|
|
16:55:37
|
|
|
which is probably why it's so atrocious.
|
|
|
16:55:25
|
|
|
ugh, Injustice acknowledged Damian Wayne and it pissed me off because Nightwing's alternate costume is supposed to be him.
|
|
|
16:54:49
|
|
|
|
16:54:36
|
|
|
Except everyone hated him so no one really cares he's gone.
|
|
|
16:54:15
|
|
|
Damian was introduced just so he could build him up and then kill him off
|
|
|
16:53:51
|
|
|
It bothers me because his risks become canon and, yeah, they come off as pretentious.
|
|
|
16:53:43
|
|
|
Then there was Talia raping Batman so Damian could be conceived, even though they've had canonical consensual sex, which you think someone so praised for his knowledge of comics would have remembered
|
|
|
16:52:41
|
|
|
I'm thinking of the Crisis that sent Batman hurtling through time (his idea) that was a massive multi-title event that was really just an convoluted excuse to put Batman in a situation where he'd have to use a gun
|
|
|
16:51:31
|
|
|
He takes risks, for sure, but most of them come off to me as pretentious and shitty and he struggles to find the voice of the characters
|
|
|
16:51:05
|
|
|
...I just want the The Animated Series back.
|
|
|
16:50:59
|
|
|
He farts and people call it edgy
|
|
|
16:50:33
|
|
|
As it is, he's dead now and once Batman's done going crazy (Jason must be peeved: 'he took my death a lot better'), Tim will end up as Robin
|
|
|
16:50:12
|
|
|
everyone sings his praise for being "edgy".
|
|
|
16:49:59

If Morrison hadn't been on staff and in the middle of Batman Inc when the reboot happened, Damian would probably have been scrubbed along with Steph Brown and Cass Cain.
|
|
|
16:49:18
|
|
|
Damian Wayne is a thing because of Grant Morrison, whom I quickly learnt to despise as a pretentious arsehole
|
|
|
16:47:57
|
|
|
Nightwing had a bunch of villains in Bludhaven but I don't know that any of them have shown up in New52. The closest thing I can think of would be Tony Zucco.
|
|
|
16:47:07
|
|
|
No, Teen Titans start with Tim Drake because there isn't enough time for the alternative anymore.
|
|
|
16:45:27
|
|
|
and why is Damian Wayne a thing.
|
|
|
16:45:10
|
|
|
Do the stories acknowledge his time as Robin in the Teen Titans? What is up with his solo story.
|
|
|
16:44:22
|
|
|
Since I've never read a Nightwing comic, or any Batman comics in recent history, does he have an arch nemesis?
|
|
|
16:40:59
|
|
|
They should have Joss Whedon write all the scripts.
|
|
|
16:40:57
|
|
|
If you're one of those weird people turned on by cars or Megan Fox, you'd love how many Transformers movies he's managed to make
|
|
|
16:39:56
|
|
|
Michael Bay movies read like porn parodies with a billion dollar budget for explosions.

And now we have another Iron Man out, with the following also coming: Avengers 2, Thor 2, Captain America 2, Ant-Man, The Fantastic Four (reboot), Wolverine 2, Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, and X-Men 2.2
|
|
|
16:36:43
|
|
|
...if I wanted to taste food I would just eat it.
|
|
|
16:35:50
|
|
|
Iron Man and Avengers were pretty good, and fairly "comic" in their style.
|
|
|
16:35:21
|
|
|
|
16:35:16
|
|
|
I think it was just a bad fan-fiction that the internet turned into a meme
|
|
|
16:34:26
|
|
|
Spider-Man 3 was a movie?
|
|
|
16:32:41
|
|
|
The only thing that can prevent it is superhero movies no longer making oodles of money
|
|
|
16:30:27
|
|
|
Much like I like to pretend Michael Bay is in fact homeless and given work out of pity, rather than so rich he stuff his mattress with $1000 bills
|
|
|
16:29:20
|
|
|
*Note I like to pretend Spider-man 3 never happened
|
|
|
16:29:03
|
|
|
The Raimi Spider-man movies were pretty good too but here we are with the second film of the reboot coming out
|
|
|
16:28:11
|
|
|
|
16:28:02
|
|
|
I know, but I don't see anyone getting near the Batman series anytime soon after Nolan.
|
|
|
16:27:39
|
|
|
We might end up with Michael Bay doing a reboot
|
|
|
16:27:22
|
|
|
Batman movies aren't always gritty 'realistic' superhero movies, was my point
|
|
