Did I evidence you guys that after the apocalypse happened , illusion give to Earth ? Yeah , it ’s pretty risky ! One day I was block in a township on my chain armor road and then this guy severalize me to pick a card and put it back in the deck of cards without him seeing . And he still cognize what it was ! It was crazy ! Also , I ’m pretty indisputable there are Draco now .
Circus of the Star(War)s
Will S. :
salutation from the pre - apocalyptic era !
I ’ve been think a lot about the upcoming ace state of war movies and I ca n’t help oneself but be upset . obviously we can all agree that they could n’t be worse than the prequels but with the estimation that the original actors being the focus of the 7th sequence , I ca n’t help but feel a disturbance in the force . like a repeat of Indiana jones 4 . plus the opening of the extended ledger stories not being 100 % canyon is preposterously frustrating .
My question is what character of flick would you like to see them make for the unexampled trilogy and stand alone movies in between ? like a seven samurai with jedi . or an sea ’s eleven but with smugglers . or a revenge story with boba fett against Chemical Mace windu ( because we all know mace windu survived make his helping hand curve off , electrocution and a 1000 story spill . we ’ve come across theatrical role come back from each of those ) or even a crappy young grownup story about grow up in the jedi academy ? sounds awful but it would at least be popular if done in a style like thirstiness games , evenfall , divergent , or whatever … .
First of all , the sequels can ABSOLUTELY be worse than the prequels . Do not jolly yourself . Yes , the prequels had horrible dialogue , beyond lowbrow humor , tough acting and needlessly force - in references to the original trilogy in rules of order to trick us into enjoying it based on nostalgia rather of substance , but still , the biggest trouble with the sequels was the squash free weight of our expectations . We still got a story we wanted to see — the autumn of Anakin Skywalker and the rise of the Empire .
Now , it ’s unbelievable that the sequels will be worse than the prequels , but by no mean value is it impossible . I think J.J. Abrams has a much unspoilt grasp of dialogue and head actors so they seem like actual human being than Lucas does , so that ’s unspoilt , and I think he ’s well suited to the more action mechanism - mob , scifi - phantasy of Star Wars than Star Trek .
But there are so many ways this could go unseasonable . First of all , by hire Mark Hamill , Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford , we have two major job immediately : 1 ) there ’s more potentially unnecessary linking to the original trilogy , but moreover 2 ) as much as we want to see Luke , Leia and Han Solo back on - projection screen , we really do n’t want to see them sure-enough , and the proof of which is in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull . Now , this can be elude if Abrams make them more side case instead of main characters , but if they ’re the primary part , it ’s really just go to make us all sad ( especially if they have a lot of action scene ) .
And lastly , there ’s still the fact that this is a Star Wars movie that Disney is involved in , and George Lucas is n’t . I can quetch about Lucas ’ dialogue and directing of role player , but he ’s also the cat that create this universe and had a hand in every facial expression of it — it ’s very possible that what we ’ll get without him is a good moving picture that feels nothing like Star Wars . Or Disney could interfere with it somehow , and somehow prioritize merchandising over aesthetic bwahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I could n’t even finish that conviction . Oh , it feel good to laugh , does n’t it ?
As for picture I would like , you ’re actually pretty close . I ’d like a random assortment of stand - alone moving picture , set before , during , and after the original trilogy — give ’em a piddling note about where on the timeline they take topographic point at the beginning , like Dark Horse ’s Star Wars comics , and then go to town . Literally all the movies you cite sound good to me , including a YA Jedi Academy moving-picture show . What I do n’t need is to revist old Luke , Han and Leia and their potentially crappy kid — not just because of the reasons I mentioned above , but because if the sequel pull some shizz like Han and Leia ’s kid turning iniquity as per the book , then everything that happened in the original six movies is return meaningless . The story of Luke , Leia and Han is say , and I ’d prefer to just ignore them all together . But , alas , that seems to be what we ’re get under one’s skin .
Warner Bros. Before holmium
Mak Bruno :
Hi Mr. Postman , As you are in the future , hence , privy to lot more secret that eventually came out , like who stamp out JFK , who was behind 9/11 , etc . But the only question that I want the answer to is ,
Q – What does WB has on DC , that DC has not soldlend some of their character to other studio . Anyone , even Sony will do a better occupation , than what WB had done up till now . ( Before ppl start scremaing about Nolan ’s Batman motion-picture show , I like them , but again , one trilogy does not make a life long studio partners . They are the same studio apartment , who has made Super Girl , Superman IV – Quest for Peace , Batman Forever , Batman and Robin , Catwoman , Steel , Jonah Hex , Constantine , League of Extraordinary Gentlemen , Green Lantern , Man of steel , etc . ) . Which if one imagine about it , does not give confidence in their capabilities of producing decent comical based pic . So why the hell DC is adamant to stay this relationship with them ?
Were the unavowed photos ever came out ? Did WB sued DC for ending their relationship , and we get to take all the toothsome details of their pre - nup correspondence .
Well , first of all , I ’d wish to preen you for guessing that the U.S. governance did indeed put out a memorandum two twenty-four hour period before the apocalypse hit , divulge all the racy secrets of the existence . As all my fellow wanderer of the post - apocalypse know , the answer for all these mystery story was , apparently , stranger .
But let me objurgate you for a second : DC is n’t go out Warner Bros. , because they ca n’t . WB owns them , lock , stock and Superman . Interestingly , WB never actually bought DC ; a companionship bid Kinney National Services ( which itself was a combination of a parking lot company and a magnanimous cleansing companionship ) corrupt DC Comics proprietor National Periodical Publications in 1967 . Kinney National then bought Warner Bros. in 1969 ( along with a bunch of other companies ) and then spun - off all their entertainment businesses into a freestanding company cite Warner Communications , which included DC Comics . Warner Communications evolved into the WB we all sleep with and love today , and DC Comics has been part of it ever since .
So DC will never bequeath and can never unless WB sell them , and since DC superhero movies are still reliably profitable summer blockbusters for them ( and they see the potential for more if they manage to simulate what the Marvel movies are doing ) , they will never , ever sell them . really , I take that back — if Warner Bros. as a company beget in big fiscal fuss , so big they need a massive inflow of John Cash chop-chop , there ’s a chance they might sell DC and its roll of character to somebody just to remain afloat . But at that point , it ’d be just as likely someone else would buy the integrality of WB trashy , and this fresh fellowship would own the DC rights . But whatever the young name is , the WB movie - make apparatus would in all probability still be the one make the movies , so there ’s no real benefit there .
Also , one more affair : If any of this ever happen , the chances of Disney being the ones to buy DC / WB is pretty high . And who eff what would happen then ? ( I have a hunch , but I ’ll wait until someone ask me ) .
Skullduggery
Johdar Qwed :
Mr. Postman , Since you live in the post - apocalyptic earned run average I ’m sure you ’ve had to administer with a zombie or three so I am curious : just how unmanageable is it really to stab a living dead in the skull with a knife and then retrieve it again with one ready pull?Watching The Walking all in I ’d assume that zombie skulls have become as mushy as their brain , but bone does not rot that way , unless the virus that has infected the zombie deplete aside at their bone density as well . And this obviously does n’t apply to just stabbing . In recent episode of TWD we ascertain the butt of M16s being used to batter a automaton ’s oral sex into pulp magazine and the but of the rifle was unscathed where it should have been splintered after such abuse . What gives ?
carry on deliver mail and may you stay warm and dry and zombie free .
It ’s a less - recognize side impression of the zombie computer virus that it does make bones softer — not so sonant zombies ca n’t shamble about , obviously , but enough so that they can be mash rather easily with blunt force psychic trauma or sharp implement . It ’s how you get all those really gooey detonation of gore , whether you ’re attain their heads with a hammer or stomping on them with your horseshoe . Indeed , the only real danger of your weapon getting stick around is when narrative toilet facility needs it , because your story is done and your character no longer serves a function , or because you ’re too shitty to people and take to buy the farm for your trespasses , or because you ’re too courteous to people and need to die to make the audience distressing . Your best bet for keeping your weapons from sticking in zombi skull is to be mysterious and moody so that no one can really get a handle on your lineament .
defy to Love
Cale DeM. :
Hello Mr. Postman ,
Not to get too gamey , but would Daredevil be the best lover in the Marvel Universe ? ( I mean in the factual act , since you always have people like Emma Frost who could convince you that you just had the good sex of your life story even though she never advert you . )
With his heighten senses , he can plunk up all of the piddling cues that would get him screw how into it his collaborator is . Increased jiffy , goosebumps , he ’d know if they were telling the truth when they say something finger sound , etc … . At the same time , he could secern if what he was doing was n’t function and alternate it up .
On the other mitt , sex can be nasty line . There ’s a mountain of smells and noises that normal people can tolerate , but could be anywhere from distracting to downright revolting to someone with super weed .
Yes , allow ’s not get too risqué in Postal Apocalypse , where I regularly talk about superheroes ’ dicks . That would just be crude .
While Daredevil does have super - human senses , that does n’t mean he has the skills to bear the flier , know what I ’m saying ? You make sex seem the same as find quarters on the beach for Daredevil — he wanders around indiscriminately with a alloy detector , hop he finds something that makes a beep . What if he never discover it ? I.e. , what if he ’s really shitty at oral sex ? I ’m not saying he is , I ’m just saying it ’s for sure a possibility .
Also , does n’t Daredevil have super - trace along with all his other superintendent - senses ? If smells are magnified , then any forcible sense experience should be magnified as well , and chances are his li’l Devil would n’t last very long in the throes of passion . All the metallic element detectors in the world do n’t matter if you do n’t have batteries for them ( coughing ) .
Lost and Found
Clay :
hello and good day . are the mutated swarm docile today ?
I am sure you have heard of the star war machete order- i have and it has changed my life . such a beautiful solution to such a complicated trouble . with a story that has great part and dread part , someone happen a answer that makes a wonderful and cohesive tarradiddle . i m certain the machete order has its knocker but , eh , whatever .
my question is this :
should someone prepare a machete order for fall behind ? few can abnegate that the early season were swell , and they by and by seasons were distressingly bad . but the late seasons decidedly had episodes that explained the technicalities of the island that were exceedingly solid and need to be shown . regrettably they were mixed in with all of the later time of year dire - cape .
what i would love is if someone make a machete fiat , not by re - ordering the seasons , but by re - order all of the episodes , to make it as beautiful as it merit to be ( and the lazy writer were incapable of pull in it ) . i call up lost deserves it . thought process ?
Here ’s what I think about fall back : I think Lost was n’t about the end , it was about the narrative as it was say . Obviously , the resolutions to some of the mystery of the island were less than satisfying at the end , but I do n’t like , because I had such a great time watching the show until then . So what it the show did n’t all hang together , I ca n’t leave all those jaw - overleap shocks along the room .
Does the make sense ? I do n’t think a show necessarily has to have a salutary closing to be respectable . For example , take a face at Syfy ’s Helix . This is a show that you know has no musical theme what the hell is happening , and perfectly nothing make any gumption at all , even from episode to episode , but it keeps giving me crazier and dotty crook along the mode , and I love it . There ’s no way it ’s move to pay off at the end , but until then I ’m having a enceinte clock time .
And thus , no , I do n’t want a machete order for Lost . For me , Lost was about the journeying , not the address , and for good or sick I do n’t call up edit the show down to its “ good bits ” would necessarily improve the overall news report .
Assembly Whine
Iathomps :
So , now that season one is almost over , what is your opinion of the new Avengers Assemble animated TV serial ? or should I say , how unfit is it ? I have seen quite a few gifs on the internet that seem to suggest some deficiency of quality in the animation section , like the Avengers are made of cardboard some of the time .
It ’s middling speculative . The animation is fine , it ’s the write up that are killing me . retaliator : Earth Mightiest Heroes were voguish , modern update of classic and mod Marvel events , that made sentience , were approachable to raw viewers , and , in my opinion , wildly entertaining .
Meanwhile , Avengers Assemble literally had an episode which was a Hangover rip - off where the Avengers had to lead Hulk around trying to remember what he did earlier that day , all of which turned out to be exceedingly goofy ( he pass away bowling with The Thing ! ) . At the end , it deform out some sort of Shuma - Gorath brute kidnapped one of Hulk ’s watch glass figurines ( yes , Hulk keeps a collection of crystal statuette on this show ) and then went to the moon and punched Hulk off it . Then there was an installment where Hulk and Hawkeye fight down the entire sentence because Hulk ate Hawkeye ’s pickles from the communal Avengers fridge in Stark Tower . It ’s terrible .
And here ’s the official synopsis of a real upcoming installment : “ While Iron Man and Ant Man are try out to stabilize particles that can shrink or grow affair , Falcon gives them atrocious news – his mom is come in to visit , and she has no idea he ’s an Avenger ! ” WAH WAAAAH . This makes me want to die .
Although I should say that I think the show is doing pretty well with Thomas Kid , which Avengers : EMH was n’t . It has the motion-picture show heroes , it looks like the moving picture , it ’s super - uncomplicated and easy to understand , and it ’s sure as shooting more young Thomas Kid - favorable . This also makes me want to expire .
