A consistently good live action adaptation of a DC IP?

You mean like how the central plot of the Daredevil series revolves around the fact that there is tons of rebuilding and construction going on in New York after the Chitauri invasion?

Well obviously the only way Germany militarizes would be if the US stops subsidizing the European military and then a charismatic new chancellor gets elected who convinces the people that Germany can provide the protection that the US used to. You're a fucking retard, why do you even still post...

WINDFURY

Sword of Shannara is, I think even by Terry Brooks' admission, super heavily influenced by Lord of the Rings, he just added in the post apocalyptic stuff. I mean almost everything in Sword of Shannara has a pretty direct analog to Lord of the Rings. The Sword is the One Ring and Orl Fane is...

Have you tried completely uninstalling instead of just validating local files? Just spitballing since I don't actually have the game.

I mean yeah it's probably unfair for me to call all his opponents nobodies, but he ran wild against a bunch of up and comers and his only ranked win was against Siver. They had Conor ranked 3rd and gave him a title shot? That's gotta be the fastest track the UFC has ever put someone on, and it...

Tom Cavanagh.

I thought the Warcraft story was fine all the way up through War3 and Vanilla WoW, it wasn't until Burning Crusade and the Space Goats that it really started to get stupid.

For the sake of this silly argument, who is going to stop them if they start militarizing again?

Unless they make her just a boring energy blaster type, Livewire should be interesting if they can pull off the CG.

It's a good theory. Some big threat that Superman can't beat on his own, leading to a Batman - Superman - Wonderwoman teamup, leading to the rise of the Justice League, aka Dawn of Justice.

The division itself would have been fine. The ppv and Conor's hype train would have been wrecked if Conor didn't fight last night.

Could be Lex manages to somehow frame Superman for something too, they show him staring at what is clearly a big chunk of Kryptonite, and they imply that he somehow got Zod's corpse.

that the UFC has a powerful and effective hype machine? I mean take Anderson Silva's title reign. It got to the point where nobody cares about his matches anymore, not even Silva. So then they hyped the hell out of his rematch with Sonnen, it got a much bigger buzz, and Silva didn't fuck...

Well the impression I got from the trailer is that the government really doesn't have anything to do with it, Batman becomes obsessed with killing Superman because of how dangerous he is. I mean obviously trailers rarely tell the entire story, but I suspect they're borrowing rather lightly from...

He was a fast tracked nobody. As I already said, he fought a bunch of no names, then Dennis Siver who is good but a bad mismatch and past his prime and was maybe ranked 13th at the time? So they pop him all the way up to 3rd and give him the title shot against Aldo. He was a nobody that they...

Right I remember that stuff too, so maybe it's just the Metropolis police being stupid.

Was bored after looking up Oblio's first post in the thread, and I found this gem. First post in the forum about Conor McGregor was by good ol Grim 2.5 years ago.

I was under the impression that this was a new origin story for Batman. They were talking about him as if nobody had ever heard of him before, not 'oh yeah this is that crazy dude who used to fight crime over in Gotham'.

Well psycho or not, he was a second or two away from losing the match in the third and he would have lost if MacDonald didn't have limp noodles for arms. *edit* and yeah I'm not surprised he was losing on the scorecard too, although I feel like round 4 could have gone either way so I'm...

The Sucker Punch trailer looked amazing and the premise sounded amazing, and I've never even seen it because I haven't heard a single good thing about it. and yeah can we not get into another fight about who liked Man of Steel and who didn't?

Well hindsight being 20/20, Mendes' critical mistake was advancing posture and going for a sub. Maybe Conor suckered him by asking why Herb wasn't standing them up (he sure suckered me), but he should have just stayed in his guard and kept going for elbows, with the plan being to sit in his...

He looked great. More importantly, you got to hear his performance in that bank robbery before you saw him, so even if you thought he didnt look right, he already hooked you.

I realized I hadn't actually watched the trailer, so I went ahead and took care of that. I'm still not optimistic, but that looked a lot better than I thought, and Gadot looks fine as Wonder Woman, all 5 seconds of it.

Well it has to be the body shots, he did a 5 round slobberknocker with Aldo back in October that went to a unanimous decision but he was never actually out of the fight. I was more surprised Conor still had so much left after 3 minutes of Mendes laying on him and landing elbows. *edit*...

Yeah this is definitely the best card of the year, and it will be hard to top. Two title fights, zero decisions on the main card, and the last fight of the undercard was great too (like most Matt Brown fights)

A: asking if something looked 'suspicious' in a UFC main event is shit posting. B: kind of hard to be in the thread since day 1 when you didn't register until 8 months after the thread was created. Oblio's first post is on page 2. A properly delivered spinning back kick has an incredible...

No, Mendes doesn't normally gas that quickly. Yes, he took a lot of body shots, and they don't all have to be home run shots to disrupt your breathing/deplete your gas tank. Also, according to the laws of physics, when you block a kick, a substantial amount of force still travels through the...

I'll give Conor credit for some mean cardio, I thought he was done when he started whining to Dean about standing them up. Instead he had the energy to scramble out of that guillotine, stand back up, and punch Mendes into UFC 190. Yeah because the #1 ranked featherweight in the world is...

He was absolutely a nobody when I posted that. He obviously isn't one anymore.

What the fuck is wrong with Mendes How the fuck do you stand up gassed after spending over half a round on top of the other guy raining elbows down?

It's because McGregor is a joke. He's a nobody that got fast tracked because the UFC was desperate for someone new to fight Aldo. Herb Dean needs to shut the fuck up about Mendes' fingers. I swear I'll mail him a letter bomb if he deducts a point from Mendes without him actually poking McGregor.

This is not going to be a long fight. Either Mendes gets inside and rocks his world, or McGregor picks Mendes apart at range until he gets desperate and gets finished. *edit* This prefight shit seriously reminds me of some Wrestlemania shit. They set up a super long entrance to the ring so...

wtf, I had the stream in the background while I was forum browsing. Did they really bust out live performers for the fighter intros? What the fuck is this, Wrestlemania? I swear to god it becomes more like the WWE every day. Pretty soon the only difference will be the fact that the fights are...

My main introduction the the DC universe was JLA/U, I'm all about some Jon Stewart.

I wasn't saying he did anything wrong, I'm saying he missed an opportunity. The walk-away KO is as pimp mode as it gets in MMA. I mean you're right, finishing the fight was the right thing to do. But it's better bragging rights to walk away! Hype is all there is, the only person he beat whose...

Hard to tell if it's killer instinct or him being an asshole, but he had a great opportunity for a walk-away KO there that he pissed away for a couple cheap shots.

McCarthy was walking in to stop the fight when the bell rang at the end of the third, kind of amazing how hard Lawler has come back. Also amazing how little power MacDonald has. I mean I know he's not a KO artist, but he has NO power whatsoever outside of that high kick. *edit* that had...

5 more seconds in the round and Lawler lost
