Not working in the same field (I am a mathematician), but I definitely include a full bibliographic entry when I write something like that in a report

I love how crazily abstract Jack Kirby got in the 80s. Even the normal buildings have been given these wild designs.

I like how the whole "Mystique abandons Kurt" plot could have been done lovingly like Moses among the reeds but no, she just looks vaguely disgusted and hurls him down a waterfall.

i think the wilson–nolan stuff was so explosive because nolan-heads are susceptible to the delusion that his stuff is much more highbrow than it really is, and bluesky heads are susceptible to the delusion that they are the number one homework do-ers, and wilson threatened both myths simultaneously

One of my Crank Theories of Everything is that the kind of work that survives and becomes part of the canon are stories that feature internal contradictions, because that means they have a rich text that can resonate with people in radically different circumstances and contexts.

No. Why. Just... no.

Screenshot from the New Yorker: "There are times when you can sense Nolan’s frustration—not with Homer so much as his own inability to reshape the material into something more than mere spectacle. When Odysseus and his men navigate a course between the stonelike, man-grabbing tentacles of Scylla and the enormous churning maelstrom of Charybdis—or, as they are known in less orthodox translations, Rocky and Poolwrinkle—"
