WOO HOO!!

Oh snap, movie talk! I'll see you all on page 15 of this thread after things calm down a little

Plus Sonic & Mega Man too?!? Oh man, you guys are spoiling us

[Wood]

Fun episode tonight, and only very mild audio issues.

Wait...FLAMING CARROT!? 

[S. Earl]

I like what I'm seeing in those show notes. Should I finish watching Rango or just listen now?

Seriously, is Rango good? I just started it.

Batman Vs. Spider-Man rogues

Oh here we go... longest episode thread ever! 

Seriously, is Rango good? I just started it.

I doubt that it's better than this

Rango SUCKED. Even my kids didn't like it, and they love just about any cartoon movie.

[S. Earl]

Once you get past Two Face, Joker, and Animated Mr Freeze - Bats has nothing on the depth of Spidey's rouges... Hmmm Deja Vu, could have sworn this has been brought up on the show before at least 3 times.

Thank you. I still have time to find something else on Netflix before I give up on movies for the night.

[Wood]

I'm a Marvel kid through and through. Own close to 20,000 Marvel comics and have read the majority of what they've printed in their history.

But Batman's rogue's gallery CRUSHES Peter Parker's. It's not even close.

I loved Rango.  Its not for kids though.  Its intended audience was 30 somethings.

You mean, like if they fought?

It'll eat away a chunk of my life if I tried to properly tackle this question. They're both awesome. You're all awesome. Have fun and play nice

I'm going to finish the surprisingly enjoyable remake of Fright Night and check it out another time probably, it's not going anywhere.

You are DELUSIONAL.

Dr. Doom pretty much trumps all villains…but I don't know if the rest of the FF's gallery can hold up.

[Tom Morris]

Batman's gallery loses credits when guys like Film Freak, Maxi Zeus and Catman get counted.

Ditko and Romita Sr creations trump them all though.

Let's see, they fought the Skrulls, Doom, Sub-Mariner (loses points for being a pre-existing character), The Inhumans, Black Panther, Silver Surfer, Galactus, etc. Now remember, even though a lot of these characters went on to be stars of their own books, that just goes to underscore their greatness as a rogues gallery. They have depth and legs. Fantastic Four redefined the rogues gallery. Compared to Batman or Spider-Man, where they're mostly variations on the costumed bank robber.

Rango SUCKED. Even my kids didn't like it, and they love just about any cartoon movie.

I thought it would be funny.  Wasn't very funny.  It was an attempt at a "meta" animated film, something you don't see every day.  It was interesting, kinda, but I'd never watch it again.
