[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 7881700, member: 518"] Sci Fi- I love Star Wars, but "hard" Sci Fi- Traveller, Alternity, Star Trek..it's always short lived. Supers- I COULD get into , but most people are so much more into the newer genre and versed in comics and lore from more modern ages. I stopped reading them circa 1984 or so. I'm into Golden and Silver Age. I have the original Spider Man Cartoon series from 1969 on DVD. That's my kinda Supers (with less plot holes) I gave up on Marvel movies after seeing the second Thor and Avengers movie.
