I have watched MAoS, but it ain't anywhere near as good as "Arrow".

Arrow! That dull clunk you just heard was us hitting the bottom of the barrel. Another programme aimed squarely at retarded fourteen-year-olds. 

[Ithoriel]

Much prefer MAoS.

Pretty much anything Joss Whedon has a hand in is OK by me.

[fsn]

I wonder if it's the old DC/Marvel divide?

I've always found SHIELD a boring old concept in the comics. (I do like the scientist types in MAoS.) The "Thor" and "Avengers" movies were interminably dull, "Iron Man" 2 and 3 were unnecessary, "SpiderMan" should be given a rest and surely we've had all the "Wolverine" we can stomach?

Having said that, I'm not a big fan of the recent "Batman" films, and I've never liked "Superman", so "Man of Steel" was a clunking bore. "Green Lantern" had possibilities that hopefully a sequel with Star Sapphire could explore.  I am dreading the Superman/Batman offering - Ben Affleck as Batman! Has nobody seen Daredevil? Worst casting since Val Kilmer!

Arrow is about the best Superhero offering for a long time. MAoS is watchable, but the dead hand of Stan Lee is upon it.

Joss Whedon ought to give up this Marvel heresy and go back and revisit the Serenity/Firefly universe, or at least get Dr Horrible going again.

I just found Arrow unutterably dull but really liked Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World but each to their own.

Alas it looks as though Firefly, like "B" Troop, ain't comin' back

We need a 'Marshall Law' film

I never enjoyed either Marvel or DC comics...I grew up with 2000AD ,Action, Warlord etc

[OldenBUA]

Look here, if I want some mindless blabbering about the latest garbage that came out of Hollywood, I'll go and read the Totty thread!

I want to see chairs crashing on heads! Pointy sticks doing their stuff! Vast quantities of alcohol consumed!

Then again, it is still a bit early, maybe I should come back in the evening?

For now, I will only wave my hat in your general direction.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Did you wave your hat at me sir!

[OldenBUA]

It is none of your business, I will wave my hat anyway I like, thank you very much!

[fsn]

No Marvel-loving powder-puff is going to tell me that MAoS is better than DC's Green Arrow. Anyone who thinks so is no better than a Games Workshop buyer.
(Stands all John Wayne like with fists clenched on hips, and jaw thrust foward.)

But I'll stand beside any man who tips his hat at "Dredd". It's a darned shame they ain't going to make another.
(Imperceptible but pointed nod at Fenton)

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Sound of OldenBUA's hat being removed, egg placed under hat and hat replaced, the squashed down.

[OldenBUA]

Sound of carpet being yanked. Mr Lemmy (the mad) staggers backward, stumbling into fsn, who's still nodding imperceptibly at Fenton. Both fall on the floor, and end up in a most embarrassing position. Fenton looks on in dismay at this sign of infidelity.

[Fenton]

*taps off ash from cigerette in 7 inch gold cigerette holder*   "Olden ...Your an absolute shower"

[Ithoriel]

<Looks at puddle of export on floor, spilled when accidentally bumped into by Lemmy. Grips bottle by neck and smashes off the bottom on the edge of the bar>

See you Lemmy, you spilled ma beer. Pick a windae, yer leavin'!!

[fsn]

<FSN cowers under a table. He's not really much of a fighter.>

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Outside Ithorial, if I'm not there in five minutes, start without me!

Kicks Olden, because kicking FSN would be cruelty...
