Okay. Sorry for the misunderstanding. With this changeover, my e-mails are jumbled, pieces here and there. Had to go to the group area to read it properly. And I agree with you entirely. I'd love to see more real-life stuff like that. Back when I read Captain America back in the early 90s Steve

Maybe I'm not being clear, then. Because that's what I'm saying. the everyday person doesn't just get to deal with one problem at a time. There are different things coming at us all from all sides. Life is complex. Marvel characters, at least to me, always seemed to get that. Marvel

I have not seen X-men 3, I have seen 1 and 2. While I enjoyed them to some extent, I always felt the stories were diluted and lacked intensity because they had too many mini-storylines, main characters and villains. Every time I heard they were going to introduce a new character in one of t

I agree. Too much of anything--heroes or villains--can result in an unwieldy film that focuses too little time on any one element. Batman Returns--the second of the modern flicks--was okay, but it had three villians, and suffered from a splintered storytelling as a result. But as you said, with
