ClarkKent_DC replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Captain Comics Guide to Who's Who in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'"Yeah, I couldn't swallow that either. As soon as the crack in the ferry's hull fell below the waterline, the whole thing should have sunk within moments."
Captain Comics replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Captain Comics Guide to Who's Who in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'"The driver's test was a straight-up Audi commercial. Not meant for the movie."

The whole Midtown High School setting was a mashup from the various Spider-Man stories, with Daily Bugle co-worker Betty Brant doing the TV reports on the school video and "Ned" (and why didn't they just call him…"
Captain Comics replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Captain Comics Guide to Who's Who in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'"I missed the reference in the bodega exchange. Thanks!"
ClarkKent_DC replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Captain Comics Guide to Who's Who in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'"It's not an assumption that the movie Aunt May is Italian (as is Marisa Tomei) -- the guy who ran the neighborhood bodega said so when Peter stopped in for groceries. And she's not his mother's sister, but sister-in-law, so she…"
Captain Comics replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Captain Comics Guide to Who's Who in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'"I have no problem with Aunt May being younger -- Pete's 15, so his mother's sister shouldn't be any older than 40s or 50s (Sorvino is 51), not in her dotage. There was no reason in the original comics for making May so old, or no…"
ClarkKent_DC replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Captain Comics Guide to Who's Who in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'"I saw Spider-Man: Homecoming on Monday. My thoughts:
Is that the old Spider-Man cartoon show theme in orchestral mode? Nice!
"A Film by Peter Parker." Wha -- ?
Oh, I see now. This is Peter Parker's video diary as he goes to fight in…"

By Andrew A. SmithTribune Content AgencyMost movie, TV and comics companies are keeping their powder dry for Nerd Christmas, otherwise known as Comic-Con International: San Diego (July 20-23). But Archie Comics has anticipated the show with a number of announcements and collections that should be mentioned before getting buried in the SDCC news.…See More
Captain Comics replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Captain Comics Guide to Who's Who in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'"Great comments, Richard! And I agree especially that Ned, Shocker and Aaron Davis were all well-written and interesting. And Davis was lukewarm on the alien tech until someone mentioned climbing gear.
I also liked that the principal was probably…"
Richard Willis replied to Captain Comics's discussion The Captain Comics Guide to Who's Who in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'"We finally saw it yesterday, and both enjoyed it a lot.

Captain Comics replied to The Baron's discussion Movies I Have Seen Lately"I didn't even know Jeff was IN the closet. Shows what I know."
Luke Blanchard replied to Captain Comics's discussion 'Valerian' brings visual splendor (and mixed reviews) to theater"There were X-Men and Iron Man cartoons in the 1990s, so those characters may have been more widely known at that point than we realise.
For some years now superhero movies have been a form of family movie. I know there are exceptions. Judge Dredd…"
Richard Willis replied to Captain Comics's discussion 'Valerian' brings visual splendor (and mixed reviews) to theater"I don't think the problem is that the comic itself is from another country. I think the problem is that it isn't "presold" to very many U.S. moviegoers. I hadn't personally heard of Valerian until the trailer came out and…"

- Cap, a slight correction to your "Reprint Wishes" in CBG #1680. It was the Armorines that wore "Iron Man-type armor." The bodies of the H.A.R.D. Corps members were implanted with technology that would allow them to utilize one Harbinger power (such as strength or invulnerability) at a time. H.A.R.D. Corps #4 was my first Valiant book.

Andrew Johnson said… - Thank you Captain. I hope to be on your site for many years to come. I hope I can gleen as much information from your site about 1980s comics and politically incorrect ones. Thanks for having me.

Hey Captain, Someone named Ann who joined just two hours ago has tried to "friend" me, and wants to form a long term relationship with me! Lucky me! Can we investigate & ban this come-on? Thanks.
