This game was released in 2017. I finally wrapped up 100% the game over the weekend. If you have played the Lego games, then you know the formula here. From a story and humor standpoint, this is another entertaining game from Lego. But it also has the the Lego Game downsides here that are amplified. Flight controls and vehicle controls particularly in the races you are forced to do to 100% the game lose the game 2 stars right off the top. They are horrible. You fight the controls or the camera or both in the flying races. On the ground races, you have to race through an uncleared course, so random cars, pedestrians, or your own partner appear randomly and block your path, throwing you out of the race. The only improvement here is that it has an option to restart the race anytime you don't get gold. The other horrible downside is the character Gwenpool. Think the worse, obnoxious, air-headed Jersey Girl type that is constantly butchering English with horrible trite phrases. Until you beat all her missions, which involves beating all the story levels first, she's a constant nagging voice that loses the game another 2 stars. Although I have all the Lego Games to date, future ones are now on the "Wait List". Is the game worth it? Well, the story levels were fun and the story interesting (for a Lego game). The frustration doesn't really strike hard until you attempt to complete the 100% achievements. If you don't do that, it probably won't bug you.

Let's talk about the recent movie, not really sure where to post this but I just want to vent out and discuss away! I need the thoughts of the people here. I highly value opinions from creative minions of prose and poetry. So, your thoughts?

Many people may not read comic books anymore, but most do watch movies and TV shows. There are two major publishers in this area: DC and Marvel Comics with competing stories, heroes, and ideals. For those of you who are not familiar with the different lines of Comic Books let me list Some Flagship Comic Properties for each: DC: Superman Batman Wonder Woman The Flash Green Lantern Green Arrow Justice League Lucifer (Yes, they own the Devil's Comic book, which is also a TV show on Fox) Watchmen Marvel: Spider-Man Incredible Hulk Iron Man Captain America Thor The Avengers X-Men Each studio has made movies based on their characters, some very successful ones like Spider-Man, The Avenger, Superman and the Dark Knight Trilogy. ------------- Personally, I used to be a big fan of Marvel, I liked their gritty stories and their exciting plots far more than DC, except for Batman's line of comic books. However, in the last year, I've grown to actually like DC more as I began to enjoy their TV shows more, so I want to read the comics. Their new line of Comic books, "Rebirth" is fun and I am enjoying the plot a lot more than I thought I would, especially with the the introduction of the Watchmen storyline into DC. Watchmen was a favorite movie of mine and seeing it slowly coming into a universe with far more idealism and hope makes me as the reader entertained. Don't get me wrong, I like reading light stories coming out of it too, like the new team up between Batman's emo teen assassin son, Damian, and Superman's naive adorable son, Jon. A good bit of humor mingled with serious questions go a long way in making good comic book characters (and hopefully comic book couples in a few years, here's hoping to see a main line LGBT couple in comic books ). Marvel has been going down hill for me over time after the last Avenger's movie and Civil War story arc. It just not as fun anymore. Also, I hate how the Hulk is gtting written and written out of the Marvel universe in its current run (I happen to like the Green Gentle Monster with anger issues ) Plus yesterday's news story isn't inspiring me to be their fan or supporter. Marvel's Exec Blames Diversity as cause of Slumping Sales (This is a Gay Authors' site, diversity and writing are at the heart of what we do. That felt kind of cold coming from Marvel.) So I want to open this up to discussion, which comic book universe do you prefer?
