All of this is interesting, but I would point out that no one can decide (or tell me, if they can decide) what a 'core comic book fan' is. I've said this before, but the source material is loaded with "agenda", and that was way before Disney acquired the rights to make these movies. Is the idea that we should respect the comics, but also remove anything that might smack of politics? Because that's not respecting the material, it's turning it into something it isn't and never was. I'm treading lightly so the mods don't get annoyed, but even you have said you're okay with them changing some things, so I'm not sure why it keeps coming back to the idea that changes are inherently bad and disrespectful.

Except it's just winking, really. Supposedly Sonny is a coffee importer, but the show has never been explicit about what his illegal activities involve. Again supposedly, he doesn't run drugs or deal in prostitution, right? I know we've made jokes for a long time about him bringing in gummi bears, but the show has always tried to have it both ways - establish that Sonny and Jason are criminals, but without making them too dirty, if that makes sense.

Maybe, but at the same time I'm not a professional armorer, and even I know not to leave guns lying in the dirt and/or carry them around under my arms, much less pose with them so I can look like a badass. It's been said repeatedly, but Guitterez was supposed to be in charge of making sure the weapons were safe for use, regardless of what else she was doing on the set. Don't you have to have some kind of training or a qualification certificate to do that kind of work? I don't know enough about that part of the industry to be certain, but her father has been in the business for years.

Honestly, this is where they could take a page from Margot's version of Harley. Spoiler tagging for those who haven't seen The Suicide Squad I don't believe this is going to be that, though. I didn't see the first movie with Phoenix, but I know it's not supposed to be comedic, not even darkly so. More's the pity.

"I'm sorry about what's gonna happen to you."

A quick Google search tells me that traumatic brain injuries were known about and recorded since at least 1650 BC, that the Egyptians and the Mesopotamians wrote about head injuries and their aftereffects based on presentation and tractability. So yes, the condition has been around for quite some time and has been documented extensively. I don't believe, however, that it was commonly known that TBIs can occur during sporting events, at least not at the time Simpson was on trial, which I endured most of back in the day. Because @Spartan Girl is correct, Johnnie Cochran and O.J.'s other lawyers did their best to convince the jury that someone else did it, turning it into a non-existent conspiracy that ended in an acquittal. The only thing I can say is that Fred Goldman should be able to find some peace now, even if its years after the fact.

I am not your strongest soldier, Lord.

I have a genuine question, because I don't know enough about the industry - why does GH have such a large cast? Even outside of wild cards like Easton and Howarth being given umpteen characters each, they do have a pretty deep bench when it comes to people who can or do have story. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the insistence on Carly/Sonny/Jason being the sun around which everything else revolves, and yet.

Except it's six of one, half a dozen of the other. Because Jason is no more a father to Jake than he is to Danny, and IMO Liz was not as clear-eyed about who Jason is at the time the boy was conceived. She turned to him because of bad writing she'd been hurt by Lucky, and like Sam she decided to go ahead and have the hitman's kid. Him being an absentee father isn't anyone's fault but his, since he could always choose to dial it back on cleaning up Carly's messes and he won't, but aren't Jake and Danny close enough in age that this outcome is totally predictable? I have no idea of how old the current crop of kids is supposed to be.

Yes? Since I'm not a comics person, I don't know enough about Silver Surfer to speak to his power set, but IMO casting is just as important, and for the most part the MCU has done very well in that area. As @benteen says, Garner has been consistently good in everything she's done, even if she's not hugely famous. If anything, casting a lesser-known actress might help with characterization, give her some leeway when it comes to bringing the character to life onscreen. The power set is the easy part, even if it's important; it's what behind the powers that makes the characters relatable.

Bonus points if she uses her Ruth Langmore accent.

Because I can't stand not to share this, Sister Michael is all of us.
