Increasingly I think a major function of β€œmasculinity” IS its crisis β€” a vehicle for the dominant & dominating group to justify focusing their social attentions primarily on themselves

I had to check if you were responding to this post or the George Méliès wrestling film one I made today...because one of those "slappy boys" is in contention for being one of the best wrestlers alive!

I'm hoping you get some kind of kick out of this...James Glickenhaus is one of my "fav" terrible film makers.

Symbolicly it actually predicts the tensions between the gritty grandiose Snyder version and Gunn's humanist take...but coming out as rebuttal to the Image Comics of the time. Cycles, man...

If I remember correctly the last issue of KC came out the week after the last of That Yellow Bastard...that was a Rollercoaster time to be reading comics

I accidentally nerfed a post suggesting that Kingdom Come was an underrated Superman comic recommendation in the space opened up by the Gunn movie, especially as precursor to shift from the Snyder version. @agramuglia.bsky.social I'd be curious on your thoughts.

Right? Not to mention the throwing the reader into an established world and having the faith they can keep up. In both Supes is sort of the iconic straight man that a crazy world can bounce off of.

Also, the "dark" tones of Kingdom Come were very much a rebuttal to the Image Comics of the time...that aspect is lost when it is smoothed over as just "cool".

I think its that the Snyder team lifted imagery from Kingdom without engaging with the story it came from. The Snyder (and Nolan) superhero movies are littered with a Pinterest board like hodgepodge of comic moments that "look cool" but are kinda whack (to use a technical term) out of their context

Here's what I'd like to see, an Amicus style anthology adapting Ramsey Campbell stories. Bonus points if Campbell writes the framing segments.

In the spirit of the Home Alone episode, you really ought to do Barbenheimer. You could make a meal out of the "monster" toy and its effect on generations of kids.
