I can see that. Tennant is great at... blathering, I guess you could call it, and that's a fairly important part of Doctoring. And he's definitely easy on the eyes. But when it comes to intensity, he's at best "fine". Both Eccleston, Smith, and Capaldi have him beat in that department.

There was a fairly recent TV show though, and Superman has high enough profile that he's part of the overall cultural osmosis. At least enough that you could get away with a montage: Jor-El putting little Kal in a rocket and sending him off as Krypton explodes, rocket landing in corn field...

I like how they did it in the Incredible Hulk: a montage during the title sequence providing some background info, but not spending a whole act or two of the actual movie on it. It establishes that there was an experiment that turned Bruce into the Hulk, Betsy got seriously hurt, Thunderbolt...

I've long been of the opinion that TV series are a much better way to do comics on-screen than movies are. Good superhero comics are at least as much about the relationships around the hero/heroes and their ongoing developments than they are about punchplosions. There's a reason X-Plain the...

I don't know if I'd go that far, but "all the money in the world" hasn't been doing it for me. RTD mark 1 and Moffat were fine for me – they definitely weren't doing low-budget productions, but they didn't have Disney money. I don't know what sort of budget they had for these two seasons and...

We get to pick 3? Well in that case it's easy, as a filthy casual who has little relation to pre-reboot Doctor Who: 10, 11, 12. 15 had potential but suffered from BTS nonsense – if Gatwa had gotten three or four proper seasons (13+ episodes) with maybe the FX extravaganza dialed down a little...

Sure, but those things are all standard things for those colors to do. Lords have been around since Alpha, and Lorwyn has lords for most creature types (Wizened Cenn for Kithkin, Merrow Reejerey for Merfolk, Scion of Oona for Faeries, Mad Auntie for Goblins, Sunrise Sovereign for Giants...

That's part of it. But compare Lorwyn to Bloomburrow. Both have a focus on creature types, but in Bloomburrow each featured creature type has its own theme – e.g. frogs have lots of bounce/flicker effects (letting them abuse enter-the-battlefield triggers), bats have many effects based around...

Yeah, the main potential savings in going digital would be cutting out one or two middle-men between the publisher and the final customer. The usual route for physical goods is publisher to distributor to retailer to customer, while for digital it's publisher to digital storefront to customer...

This bit reminds me a little of Earthdawn. In Earthdawn you spend Legend Points (basically XP) to improve your Talents and to a limited degree your attributes and when you've done enough of that you can qualify to advance to a new Circle. Doing so gives you access to new Talents, higher...

That appears to be the exception. As an example, neither Pinnacle nor Onyx Path does that. Heck, even Paizo doesn't do that.

It also really sucks for customers who live on this side of the Pond when things aren't in distribution, because of transatlantic shipping and stuff.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

But wouldn't GenCon management object to throwing rotten eggs on the convention floor?
