I'm afraid.... Sometimes shows come back and it just isn't the same.

remember scrubs :smt090

 

True, but sometimes the show becomes a bigger hit than it was before. Remember Family Guy?

 

I stop watching family guy years ago. over stayed the welcome
Futurama was better. though I get your point.

 

WTF are you talking about? That last season (Season 9) of "Scrubs" was really good.

The mistake that ABC made was that the last season should've been it's own spin-off series called "Scrubs: Med School" or something instead of being a new season of the main series.

 

Awesome news :smt023

 

The show is nothing without JD.

 

Plenty of folks (Including me) liked the new younger cast & enjoyed "Scrubs" Season 9 for what it was. Which goes back to the point that it should've been it's own spin-off series instead of being a new season of the main series.

 

The series ended after that season. That speaks for itself. The spinoff would have fell flat as they probably wouldn't have the guys that they had(meaning jd and turk probably wouldn't be there). They put a lot into season 9 and it still died. They would probably put less effort in the spinoff.

 

Following last month's release of their immensely popular 2XLP soundtrack to Marvel and Netflix's Luke Cage, Mondo has announced they will be debuting the official vinyl soundtrack LP's for the critically acclaimed Daredevil and Jessica Jones.

"We are so proud to continue the series of Marvel soundtracks with Daredevil and Jessica Jones," said Mondo Record Label Manager Mo Shafeek. "It's extremely exciting to see each character come to life and with each new soundtrack it feels like we are building something bigger along the way, just like the characters in the shows are coming together for a larger purpose."

Both albums go on sale on Wednesday, November 9 at 12PM CST at MondoTees.com. Check out more details and official artwork by Matthew Woodson.

Hulk vs. Doomsday

I was kind of surprised by the outcome of this battle, given that there was some level of consideration on both characters, especially one with limitless strength.

Doomsday personifies what was wrong with 90's comic character design. Creating a character who's power is to always be stronger than whoever he is fighting is kind of lame.

 

That really doesn't make a lot of sense, since the purpose of Doomsday was suppose to serve as the antithesis to Superman: being a person with power and unwilling to control it, hence the name. He's not meant to be a Shakespearean character (though an arc sort of happened in the canon arc) at all. If you're expecting that, then you really missed the point of what was the purpose of creating such a character.

 

No that is my point. He only exists to be stronger than Superman. That's bad character design. He's not even really a character at all, he's more like a natural disaster.

 

You've contradicted yourself. He stated is the personification of something, which implies it has a character design and one doesn't need a complicated character with a brain to be considered a good character design. That's just utter nonsense, since after that one event, Doomsday continued to be part of the DC Universe. You make it sound like he's some one-shot character, which he clearly isn't.

Besides, in the later stories, particularly Our Worlds at War, he was given sentience due to recollecting past events after being revived by Luthor, which actually disproves your point in the first place.

 

Um....no it's not a contradiction. The 90's had a lot of characters who were created as plot devices and Doomsday happens to be a glaring example.

 

Like Thor for the Hulk (among other countless characters designed to be considered stronger than the Hulk)? Iron Man for Communism? Sounds like you're exaggerating. And if he was such a "glaring example", chances are, Doomsday wouldn't be a memorable character. As I said, you don't need to be a complex character to be a good character. The particular purpose, and beyond that, further cemented his status as a memorable character for that very simple reason, which makes Doomsday a good character design, both in appearance and purpose.

 

I think Thump's point is creating characters without vulnerabilities or weaknesses is a dead end from a story telling point of view.
They become boring because they're no longer interesting.
Where is the dynamic tension in any storyline featuring Doomsday??

 

You can say that about the Abrahamic God, among many fictional characters, yet no one would bat an eye. Besides, do we really need to create vulnerable creatures to make them more compelling? Not really. There is always this certain dread that there are things that cannot really be destroyed by conventional means. Even Darwin, Marvel's continuously evolving character, can't really die either, so does that make him a boring character since he is considered an OP, in theory?

 

Comic characters without human foibles and vulnerabilities are really hard as a reader to root far, is all I'm saying.

That's why in many ways Superman was so dry as a comic book hero.
There's a downside to giving a comic book hero godlike powers.

No wonder Marvel's superheroes were always more popular, because most of them were mortal and could be killed if they weren't careful.
