That special was absolute evil.They actually said that the reason Catwoman and Elektra bombed was because all comic book fans were teenage boys afraid of women.The whole thing seemed to suggest that actual quality means nothing,a film is only a success if it makes money.They even ranked the "greatest comic book movies of all time" by how much money they made.

Pure.Evil.

That sounds pretty bad. I wasn't going to watch it before, but if it opens itself up to lampooning opportunities like that, I've got to.

It was pretty bad.His rational was "Daredevil made money,so a spin-off should have made money too.The only reason it didn't is because the audience is afraid of seeing strong women in movies".He also said,and this is almost an exact quote "The fans might download pictures of Jennifer Garner and Charlize Theron off the internet,but for some reason they don't go to the movies".Yeah,that's right.It wasn't because Aeon Flux and Elektra both got horrendous reviews,or because one was a spin-off to a movie few people liked,it was because comic fans (who make up a lot less of the audience then he seems to think) are afraid of women.
