Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 9, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) I think I might have to give up on Preacher. I don't expect it to be a complete adaption of the source material but they constantly ruin the iconic moments of the series and the characters for nonsensical plot twists or shits jokes. For example, in the comics when Starr gets put into hand to hand combat training he shoots the trainer through both kneecaps. When he's asked how he expects to fight unarmed he replies "I have no intention of being unarmed" and it's a brilliant moment that sums up the character completely. In the TV adaption, during hand to hand combat traing Starr has a wank to distract his opponent then punches him in the face. So much promise with this show. Terrible shame.

Rey_Piste Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Careful with the spoilers there, I haven't seen the latest episode yet. It is pretty much entirely different to the comic, just using a lot of the same characters, but putting them in very different situations. This means I am enjoying it and not expecting certain things to happen. I am enjoying the dark sense of humour in it and I expect every each season is going to be the main trio moving from city to city in the hunt for God.

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted August 12, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 12, 2017 Just a quick question, my 6 year old has embraced the utter love of Superheroes, does anyone know of any stuff that would be suitable for that age group, both content and reading ability? All I could find was a shitey Wonder Woman information book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 12, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 12, 2017 The Batman: Gotham Tales series is based on the cartoons, is very well written for all ages, and is deliberately kept toned down in terms of violence and gore - there's obviously the usual crime-fighting stuff, but nothing grisly or unsavoury.

Their Marvel 'Everything You Need To Know' book is bright and colourful, with loads of bite size trivia and info snippets about all their superheroes.

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted August 12, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 12, 2017 Cheers folks, very much appreciated. I'm going to enjoy this change from Tiny Pop to Marvel just as much as her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netflix has a few titles on there, as has YouTube but yeah anything Lego does is gold. We got her a Marvel annual at Christmas which was really good. Check Poundland and The Works for these as they might have a few knocking about still. Agreed, it beats watching Paw Patrol (which to be honest, I don't mind despite being a depiction of the proletariat blue collar worker being crushed and oppressed. Just in, you know, cartoon dog form) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Teen Titans Go! is infinitely watchable too, and if you can get the DVDs/download them then DC Super Hero Girls should appeal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted August 18, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2017 Binge watched The Defenders on Netflix. Its much better paced than the previous Netflix Marvel shows, and for my money its one of the best for it. Weavers death was wonderfully anticlimactic.

Keith Houchen Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 My girlfriend takes part in Gishwhes every year. One of her tasks this years was to recreate a favourite comic book cover using only things from the spice cupboard. This is what she made. I think it's brilliant.

Paid Members DEF Posted August 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 Fuck The Defenders, I just binge watched the greatest superhero show of the year on Amazon Instant. The Tick. It's only draw back is it's only 6 25 minute episodes. I say that because I'm paranoid about how well its going to do and it feels like it might only get the one season. Everyone please watch it. I need more Tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
