Saying the movie has "many layers" is just a dishonest assessment of what the movie was going for.

Deadpool has always been a foil on comics taking themselves too seriously. With what Marvel and DC have been doing with the shared universes, Deadpool becomes a necessity. 1. No, he hasn't. He evolved to be a parody of "serious, edgy comics" but he wasn't designed with that in mind. 2. "With shared universes, Deadpool becomes a necessity." Why? I've yet to see one thing wrong with these "shared universes." Marvel has handled it perfectly, and DC has yet to demonstrate their competency. But judging by the fact that their second movie in the universe is a cross-over movie and that Batman makes an appearance in what is essentially DC's Guardians of the Galaxy, I'm not really too worried about this. At least, the "shared universe" part. If you look closely, he called out Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey Jr on becoming Wolverine and Iron Man. The sets took a shit on the concept of the shared universe. The final fight was on a decommissioned helicarrier. Hydra Bob was in it, despite Hydra being Disney's property. Awesome. Except, there's really no good reason to "shit" on either of those actors, especially considering they've become almost synonymous with their characters.  Yes, the story is cliche and full of tropes, it was designed that way. It was designed to be stupid. The movie's cast and production crew were openly giving the finger to every comic movie out. The difference being, "every comic movie out" usually aren't completely trash in their execution. Say what you will about capeshit, but The Winter Solider? Guardians of the Galaxy? Quality movies. We haven't had a truly bad comic book movie since... Iron Man 3? It's quite funny that the movie has the "balls" to shit on other studios' work and ideals but delivers such a poor show of their own.

I feel like I've read that Captain America issue before... looks vaguely familiar.
I can say that I've never enjoyed Thor much, though. He's like... Superman, without all the things that make Superman good.

Quality, for the most part. Oh, right. See, I was talking strictly sales-wise. Marvel Comics might not be able to publish as many comics as they do without their two front-runners. I've never really liked Deadpool all that much, so yeah. Spider-man has been great now. You should read the "Sins of the Past" miniseries. It was before Deadpool became the cancer he is now, and it's one of my favourite runs. Or "With Great Power, Comes Great Coincidence", where Deadpool is sent back in time and disguises himself as Peter Parker. One of the funniest runs in the character's history, IMO. But my favorite comic series has been Thor: God of Thunder and Captain America from the MARVEL NOW! imprint.
I've mostly dropped comics entirely for the past few months. Just can't seem to enjoy them like I used to. I think the last series I really liked was Superman Unchained by Snyder and Lee... just an awesome run.

Also now that Deadpool's success is sure to usher in a new age of R rated comic book movies, I'm so ready for an R rated Batman
R-rated, live-action Flashpoint Paradox when?

Deadpool is the fictional embodiment of "le so randumb" 2010-11 humor.
He didn't start off that way, but yeah. It's unfortunate because there are a few moments where you really see the brilliance of a fourth-wall-breaking, schizophrenic anti-hero. Even outside the comics.

Not really.
The Avengers, X-Men and Iron Man have been selling well Nowhere near as well as Deadpool and Spider-man to my knowledge. Spider-man recovered slowly after One More Day thanks to Superior Spider-man and Deadpool is meh imho. Are you talking about sales or quality of comics in this post? My guy's been telling me he couldn't even afford to sell Marvel's stuff without Deadpool and Spider-man.

"Whoso is full of sacred (religious, moral, humane) love loves only the spook, the “true man,” and persecutes with dull mercilessness the individual, the real man."
The spook is the god of the modern man. He fancies himself a free thinker, detached from the religious dogma and delusion of the past. Little does he realize he has only traded a personal god or gods for impersonal ones.
In the past a man justified his action by claiming it was god's will, shouting Deus Vult.
Today men justify their actions by shouting praise to "progress", "reason", "society", "the common good".
These are intangible abstracts, "ghosts of the mind". Man places them above himself, to his own detriment. He fails to acknowledge and act on his own ego.
wow

I still don't know how you check your number.
It's only been said 3 times.

It would've been absolutely perfect if you ended up being Star yu.

What? I did what you said. That's only if your user number is higher than 721, which yours isn't. You're somewhere in the 500s.

How do you see what position you are? Hover your mouse over your username and you'll see a link pop-up in the bottom left corner. It'll read "sep7agon.net/profile/[your number here]/" Your number is 96, which makes you Drowzee.

Well, if we subtract 721 from 844, we get 123, which is Scyther. This is a good idea.

I don't get it
You're the 98th user to join Sep7agon, so that makes you Krabby.

How fucked are you? I'm 597, so that makes me Ferroseed:  If your number is higher than 721, subtract that from your number and use that as your Pokémon. For example, if your user number is 824, you would subtract 721 from that. So, [824 - 721 = 103]. In the Pokédex, 103 is Exeggutor.

But carelessly devastating entire city blocks because he's pissed isn't the impression I've gotten from him. The thing you have to understand about Man of Steel is that it was intended to be an else-worlds Superman origin story. It would make no realistic sense for a year-zero Superman to be all "muh morals" and controlled, first day on the job. I believe Goyer (screenwriter) planned to follow up on this plotline this in the sequel, but unfortunately, that was likely scrapped in favour of the Batman V. Superman thing we have now.

He's a minor character in the marvel universe and even his recent popularity doesn't really account for the numbers. Pretty sure that Deadpool and Spider-man are the only reason Marvel Comics are even still in business.

The action was way over the top and out of character for Superman tbh How much Superman have you read, exactly? I wouldn't say it was "out of character," but it was a tad over the top, I agree.

Daily reminder that morals are just a meme and caring for something that doesn't even have sapience is silly.
And here I thought we could be friends.

I'm actually a terrible cook. I hate doing it, and I'm bad at it. That's partially why I eat so little.

Gotta catch just one!
Digimon have several different evolutions (that are all reversible). They can also fuse with other Digimon IIRC.

Man of Steel is a quality film, and the best Superman film to date.
