A few weeks ago I saw a commercial for like genAI or sports betting or something and it was like “don’t bet against the underdog” and one of the examples they depicted was the Spartans at Thermopylae.

And like… my brother in Zeus, they lost. The were the underdogs and they FAMOUSLY lost.

in 2026 instead of lore-diving whatever giant franchise benefits from your engagement try doing it with any writer/director with a substantial body of work but no “fandom”. Marie Ndiaye. Maryse Conde. Samuel Fuller. See where it gets you. If you gotta have a static setting do Mervyn Peake

I am embarrassed to have an opinion about what a director I’ve only seen I think 3 movies by said on a podcast but every time I’ve ever seen Matthew Lillard in a movie I’ve enjoyed it; giving props to work you like rules over being catty and rude, & people who think catty and rude is good are bores

In the new ALTER EGO, Roy Thomas decides to settle the "who created Wolverine" question, by -- repeating his claims, publishing it in his own magazine, and claiming that's the end of the story. Including making claims about what Len Wein would think and say, were he alive to tell everyone that...

Every comic creator's obituary is like, he created this iconic character who was in a movie that made $700 million last year. He died with a net worth of $12 after the publisher countersued him.
