As you wish. He's still better than bloody JMS.

You're assuming it was his choice to erase the Super-marriage. In addition to what Michael said, there's also his 2000 proposal (with Waid and a few others) which was pretty much OMD before OMD. And the 2008 interview where he said this:

You're assuming it was his choice to erase the Super-marriage. he could have been taking a shot at the brain trust.
That being said...
I don't care anymore. Let DC & Marvel wallow in stupidity. I still have good comics to read from people who care about STORIES, not franchise opportunities.
(My latest obsession is a new Image book called Witch Doctor)

Those flashbacks are actually based on this "Spider-Man POV" camera. I never saw the show itself, just the three movies, and IIRC they did it in every one of the movies. Not just that. The experiment that gives him his origin HAS to be in a dark, shadowy room.

No, I liked the old TV show.
This is just Broody McBroodpants. A secret from his past, lots of shadow. Meh.

Sitcom (North American) - WKRP
Irreverent humor, bizarre storylines, & classic rock. Not to mention an object lesson in autumnal avian aeronautics.
Sitcom (Other) - I'm not sure it counts, but I'll vote Blackadder, although one can skip the first series.
Non-sitcom Comedy (i.e. Stand up show, Sketch comedy) - I have to go with Python. Not the first, but arguably still the best.
Mini-series - The only one that comes to mind is "V". The original miniseries, not the sequel, followup TV series, or remake.
Drama (North American) - Columbo. The episodes hold up surprisingly well.
Drama (other) - I WILL put down Sherlock, because it made me a convert with the first episode.
Dramedy - Since I'm not even sure what one IS, I'll throw The Middleman in here.
Special Interest shows (We can throw in reality TV, Cooking, houses, etc.) -Mythbusters.
Animated (North American) - Animaniacs. Because they got away with crap that would NEVER be put on screen today.
Animated (Anime) - Because it shouldn't be forgotten: Star Blazers.
“Genre” - The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr. Three words: Steampunk Bruce Campbell
Wildcard - I'm going to toss in The Drsden Files. A bit uneven in parts, but it had some great acting, particulalrly from Terence Mann.

This, unfortunately, is true.

Green Lantern, at least, did not have that. True. It just had Hal Jordan killing time until the villains showed up.

I mean, hell, we're halfway through the big crossover event of the year, and I still CANNOT BLOODY TELL YOU WHAT THE POINT IS. It's the same point of every Marvel event of the last 7 years: "The good guys never win. If someone wins, odds are they are evil in some way."

Thinking of doing a follow-up to my Aquaman piece about Hank Pym. Not sure if it's worth the effort, though.

Clearly, Geoff Johns is a dog person. Possibly like this:

Because linking to blog posts seems to be the in thing.The last few posts on my blog have been movie reviews: That's most of what I do, nowadays.
