I didn't. It was little more than an expansion of the Marvel Family: traditionally Captain Marvel (Shazam), Captain Marvel Jr. (Freddy), Mary Marvel (traditionally Billy's sister Mary) and Uncle Marvel (traditionally a powerless fraud that the family never-the-less loves.)
More accurately, they kind of bought it. IRRC, DC purchased all of Fawcetts characters something like 30 or so years ago. Nothing illegal or immoral about it.
OK, this is an old post, but:
They didn't know where the comet pieces would impact until hours shortly before impact. If you don't know where the thing is going to land, where do you go? Anyplace is as likely as another to be the impact point.
Now, if you want to argue they should have known sooner, that would be a different discussion.
Apis is correct. Anything with mass has gravity. YOU have gravity. But the mass of the comet is very low, so its gravity is low. But if you let go of, say, a golf ball on the surface of the comet, it would fall to the surface. (Ignoring effects such as the outgasing of the comet and any related turbulence. )
Her child didn't have a place on the chopper. Jenny Lerner (Tea Leoni's character) did. She gave it up for Beth (Laura Innes' character) who takes her baby. Technically, the baby didn't have a seat, but the others obviously didn't object to a mother taking her infant.
So, Beth was not selfish. Since she didn't win a place on the chopper she tried to get out in other ways. When she couldn't she came back to the station since she would be up high (and her child liked the play room) giving her a tiny chance to survive.
It was very clear. They specifically say it would impact in Western Canada.
Mass production of contact lens began in 1970/71. So, yes, they were widely available in the late 1980s. They had been available in one form or another since 1887. There is some evidence that Leonardo da Vinci developed the concept in the 16th century.
old post, but.
The difficulty with your explanation is that there are many animals that can percieve infra-red light. It is often believed that mammals and birds can't see it because they are warm blooded and that would interfere with the infra-red. (I don't necessarily agree with that conclusion that they couldn't evolve to see it. Just that they didn't)
However, snakes, frogs, some fish and some insects can all see or otherwise perceive infra-red light and none of them need eight foot eyeballs.
Well, since Shazam isn't a Batman movie, you have nothing to worry about.
One of the more bizarre critiques of a film I have ever seen. Shazam has little in common with Deadpool. Its tone is completely different. And, believe it or not, different studios can make movies in the same genre as they are in competition with each other.
For that matter, the same studio can make similar movies at different times. By your logic, only one Western needs to have ever been made; one horror movie; one rom-com and so forth.
>>>I think "five times before" is just another way of saying 50 years ago.<<<
No. It means 5 times before. As mrx2117 says, there are 5 Universal Frankenstein films.
If you like to do assembly costuming (cosplay). Many of us like the making part as well as the wearing part. If I was going to do MIB, I would make the suit.
By the same logic, how did Thanos know his first snap would remove half the population? How did he know his second snap would destroy the Infinity Stones?
How did Iron Man and Hulk know that the third snap would return the half of the population?
It is obvious that the snaps do what the snapper desires. No other explanation is needed.
Old post, but...
To a 17 year old a 36 year old is OLD!. His own parents were likely of similar age. If he is being rebellious, and most 17 year olds are to one extant or another, he certainly would be to Leisl's father; though not likely to his face.
Just a quick comment on one of your points. Immortal does not mean indestructible
or unkillable. It just means they do not die in the course of living. (Note, I did not say it means they don't age. There is a famous Greek myth that addresses that.)
So, depending on the being, of course, an immortal will never die of old age. But if you shoot one in the head, they will die. (Again, depending on the immortal. Amazons would die. Greek gods would not. Centaurs, probably would die. Satyrs, maybe. )
I am not an expert on Man of La Mancha. However, I was born in the latter fifties, so I'll try to dredge up memories.
I believe Man of La Mancha was originally written as a non-musical for one of the Tv shows which featured plays. Such programs were popular in the sixties. I recall my mother mentioning that she first saw it on such a program.
I believe it was optioned as a non-musical for Broadway. (I read that somewhere, so don't take it as gospel.) Since I've never heard of a non-musical Broadway production, I would assume it didn't sell and someone decided to rework it as a musical.
As I said, I'm not an expert and a lot of what I wrote above is from very old memory and logical deduction.
No offense, but it is Skrulls, not Skulls.
I would have to rewatch to deny or verify. And you are correct, perspective matters.
I hate to contradict you, but that method of time travel is absolutely canon to the Superman character. Other comics and heroes may do it differently, but that is Superman's method. Does it make sense? No. Its a trope. Counter-clockwise = backwards. Clockwise = forwards. The trope starts when Superboy starts visiting the Legion of Super Heroes in the 30th Century
Of course, that is not what happened. He traveled backwards in time by flying faster than light in a counter clockwise direction. What we are seeing is a visual representation of that. From his perspective the earth would be rotating backwards. This is supported by the imagery on earth: the dam repairing itself, toothpaste flowing back into the tube, etc.
This is a power, and method, that has been employed in the comics since at least the 50's.
