What’s DC’s Biggest Weakness on the Big Screen?
What is the single biggest weakness in DC’s cinematic efforts? Honest question, open for discussion, feel free to chime in below! 😉 I do, of course, have my own theory. It’s a very young theory of mine… in fact, it … Continue reading
Does Marvel Need Fixing?
Technically, this video I stumbled onto is nearly two years old now, so it’s not exactly hot off the presses. Still, I think it brings up some points, which are still valid, and worthy of respectful discourse. If the title … Continue reading
