Do you go to the pharmacy?

They probably sell meds and devices you would find morally objective also.

Or to a bookstore that sells both Bibles and sexually explicit reading material.

Stores restock what they sell out of, so if they find that their “innocent” merchandise sells out, they’re more likely to provide more.

I will give DC credit insofar as their major characters from the Golden Age have become templates for all of the superheroes that came afterward. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s genius in the Silver Age was to give the heroic characters complex inner lives and complicated motivations. Before Lee and Kirby, the superhero had an alter ego (such as Clark Kent), but it was understood that this was a ruse and the real persona of the character was his super-powered self. Lee and Kirby cleverly reversed this, so that wise-cracking Spider-man for example is an act, a construction, behind which is hiding vulnerable Peter Parker (who isn’t even a fully grown man, but resembles more the kind of sidekick character that used to be added to the story to give the child readers someone to identify with), the real person behind the mask.

Marvel is better because they have Wolverine, Professor X and Gambit! 😂

This is the best summary of Marvel characters I’ve ever read! ❤️❤️❤️
 
My daughter got a wig from Wal-Mart and then with some black and white grease paint - also from Wal-Mart she went as the StarChild from KISS.
One of my cousins got a huge plastic bag and cut holes for his legs. Then he stuffed it full of paper and newspaper and put a big plastic fly on his shoulder. He was a sack of trash.
I would love to go as a plague doctor this year, but the costume is too expensive.
 
I’m going to let you in on a secret: X-Men was the first comic I got into (not comic book movie, comic). In general, Marvel movies tend to be better than DC movies (there are exceptions), but DC Comics tend to be better than Marvel (my favourites are Justice League, because Superman isn’t so boring when there are others to balance him out, he plays a good straight man), and Batman has such good villains (The way Batman: The Animated Series, and its tie in comic treated Sub Zero and Two-Face were incredibly sympathetic), that I feel, on those merits alone, DC is better (and my favourite X-Men, by the way, is Wolverine. Want to see them combined?) Dark Claw . Someone should be Dark Claw for Halloween.
 
I’m still waiting to see Joker…I own it but was warned to be ready for a dark movie and I have to be in the right mood to watch dark movies.

I loved Wonder Woman. My daughter and I went to the opening show and got all girly proud watching it.

I enjoyed the three dark Batman movies. Not the stories so much as the great acting and set designs.

The Superman movies from the first through recent ones were meh…I liked parts of them and didn’t like other parts…none were really good from start to finish.

I’ve enjoyed all the Marvel movies…of course, I was a fan before any were made. They weren’t all perfect but I honestly enjoyed all of them…and it’s completely due to my biases!

Yeah. It’s much less a superhero movie and much more a very dark psychological drama. But Phoenix does an absolutely stunning job in the role.

I also loved the Venom movie. That dude is my favorite comic character of all time, and I thought Tom Hardy did a great job; the whole thing comes off like a twisted “buddy-cop” film, which is as it should be, IMO.
 
I still haven’t seen Venom yet…not for any reason other than I just haven’t got around to it…I should correct that! My son really liked it!
