Because current canon is garbage.

Everything would be deemed fit and unfit by GMs instead of players, so there'd be no confusion.

Personally, I think it's time to move away from the 'back to the beginning' stuff for awhile. UDC and OE already cover that ground well enough.

I like this idea.

I think this is the reality.


And thus concludes Rain Dog's 2 cents.

Much rather have his posts than his two cents, but we all know that **** ain't happening anytime soon.

Heh heh heh. Yeah.

[wiegeabo]

Awwwww, it's MB's home movies.

If I had costumes that awesome as a kid, I'd have never grown up.

...let's be honest with ourselves. No one here really grew up. We just act like it.

[Batman]

No, I meant physically. I'd have found a way to keep myself at three feet tall, just so I could still fit the suit.

[Hound55]

Alright, you've made the gifs now, Bats... ...now let the kids go.

[Hound55]

Got the new Dell Mini all set up! So things should be on the up and up from here on... and we might see something more detailed than just back and forth dialogue for Nuff Said Hawkeye for once...

[Rain Dog]

So, The Amazing Spider-Man.

Is it worth my money? My friends seem pretty divided on it and the trailers only make it seem "okay" to me.

[Byrd Man]

Go see it.

Now.

I love The Amazing Spider-Man so much I carved its name into every inch of my skin.






On a related note, I am in an unbelievable amount of pain right now.

[Byrd Man]

How obsesses is Andy over Garfield?

He had his name changed to Charles Guiteau...

[Rain Dog]

Hmm.

I'm still apprehensive. How is it compared to Raimi's Spider-Man? Is it analogous to what Batman Begins is to Batman?

[Byrd Man]

Just as good as the first two Raimi films, and some will argue better, and it's like Batman Begins in that it takes its time with characters developing. In a good way.

NOW, GET THE **** OFF THE INTERNET AND GO SEE IT!!!

[wiegeabo]

I had zero desire to see ASM, and zero expectations.

It was great. Glad I went to see it. I think, in a lot of ways, it's better than the Raimi movies because it takes itself seriously, without taking itself too seriously, or not seriously enough. Whereas Raimi seemed to be all about the camp (he was making a comic book movie, whereas Webb made a movie based on a comic book) and either too serious or too silly.

I still love the first two Raimi movies, but I don't think they've aged well when compared to the Marvel-made films.

[Byrd Man]

Charles Guiteau... He was obsessed with and assassinated President Garfield.... Garfield is the name of the guy playing Spider-- It's a whole thing.

Just go back to reading about Teddy Roosevelt

[Byrd Man]

Bully!

[Eddie Brock]

TASM - worth your money. Come to think of it, that should've been the tagline. Would've been more honest than "The Untold Story."

[Hound55]

...

[Byrd Man]

A testament on ASM right there. It left that gabby mother****er speechless.

My thoughts exactly. The film's not without it's flaws, but neither were the other films, despite growing up with them and loving them. This one comes away feeling more like the Spider-Man I know, rather than the original incarnations that Raimi was going for.

[Andy C.]

I posted a full review of the movie on my blog. I'd post the link for it, but I really don't think I'm the kind of guy who would stoop to plugging his own personal pet projects on another site. I mean, that would just be in incredibly poor taste, don't you think?

[Byrd Man]
