Most of it is, but a lot of people have started to find a lot of his “quirks” and writing style for his projects to be getting kind of old now.

I still <3 Firefly.

@TheHappySpaceman  
What genere does this belong too?

I wonder how Sora had to explain his absence to his mother upon returning home after KH2:
 
 

@CaptainXtra  
You’d think she would have been at least glad to see him alive.

@Thanotos Omega  
I don’t know. It feels very outlaw country but with electronic/industrial rock instrumentation.

@TheHappySpaceman  
I was curious because the comments mentioned how hard it was to assign it to a genre,

I drop in and out of interest in Magic The Gathering all the time.
 
Tempting me to go back at the moment?:  

I honestly can’t get into western comics because their stories have no consequences to them  
See Batman Eternal for example, other than introducing new characters, what consequences were there  
The main villain literally could havekilled Batman right on the spot but instead gives the typical long speech before being stopped before something potentially interesting happens  
There’s of course the three jokers storyline where they kill off only two jokers because they still need a joker in a Batman story cause status quo is god

@Dustcan  
They are both completely different directors.i also refuse to believe his job was just to finish the movie I’m pretty sure Warner brothers/dc got him to make it more like The Avengers

@northern haste  
I get that feeling as well. Quirks aside, Joss is a well-regarded writer, and has written darker stuff before, so I get the feeling that a lot of the changes were just WB mandates (which might I add backfired tremendously).

@Penguin Dragneel  
One mandate i know That pretty much destroyed the franchise He was rushing straight into Justice League.  
Arguably one of the main reasons for the mcu worked was because they took It’s time giving the main characters that only will be 1st which apparently is what zack wanted to do as well

@northern haste  
Also, they tried CGI-ing out Henry Cavil’s mustache, which looked ****ing awful (and hilarious).

@northern haste
 
Wasn’t Justice League already like 80% done before Whedon came in? I mean even before the Snyder cut you can very much tell Whedon’s scenes by contrasting it with the surrounding moments.

@Penguin Dragneel  
What makes it even more battling is that I had seen cgi affects on someone’s whole face looks so much better

@Dustcan  
Thats kinda what I meant. If the movie just need a to be finished why didn’t they just get a small director to do that

@Penguin Dragneel  
To make that situation even more funny, Mission Impossible had to halt production because Tom Cruise had to wait for his broken ankle to heal
 
So this meant that Henry would have had enough time to shave his stash so for Josstice League then grow it back again

@icey wicey 1517  
I mean, Paramount kinda threatened to sue, so that probably put WB into a panic.

@icey wicey 1517  
He was actually under contract not to shave

@Commune  
Try indie comics. I just got Strangers in Paradise and it’s a pretty good complex romantic drama. Or Evil Ernie,about a psychotic boy who kills for the love of A Death Goddess. Transmetropolitan is a social/political satire set in a bizzarre world that’s like Futurama on crack. Going a bit more into the obscure, there’s a prison escape comic called Kennel Block Blues  
There’s quite a world hidden behind Marvel and DC.

@Dex Stewart  
Looks fun.

Watching WW84 on Blu-ray. So far, it feels a bit like a Christopher Reeve Superman movie.

@Commune
 
@Dex Stewart  
Yeah, I myself am not very into superheroes, but I do enjoy plenty of indie comics.
 
Superheroes are not the only thing western comics have to offer.

I had a weird dream, A VERY WEIRD DREAM.
 
Let’s just say at one point there was brain dead zombies who regained their intelligence while singing.
 
Is there any movie or game where something like that happens?

@CaptainXtra  
It sounds pretty darn familiar, but i don’t recall.
