So long as this bias is carried, the belief will persist that the adult collectors/fans are a small percentage of the market. An extension of this belief is also the prejudice that mature family men have "put away childish things" and are wholly divorced from pop culture, and that it is the children that are driving and edcating the parents to buying whatever. What the Suits don't consider/realize is that, these days, the 30 year old males get married and have kids, BUT DO NOT forsake toys, video games, science-fiction, fantasy, role-playing. That is dads are the ones sharing the things they like with kids and are more likely to dictate what will be seen in terms of movies and tv shows. We need to convince the Suits to trust that parents today are learning they have to be more involved with their kids, and are trying to find common ground, rather than raising Latch Key babies. This way shows like Clone Wars and A:EMH, where there is something for the adult and child, will continue to be produced. However, for now our culture is set up so that kids are at one corner, adults at the other, and their interests are mutually exclusive. In other words, Hasbro, Mattel, Marvel, DC, like getting our money, but still think we geeks are dying alone and virgins |

Jeph Loeb can SUCK MY DICK! just because he can't follow a serialized story doesn't mean the rest of the comic fandom can't either. I used to have tons of respect for loebs writing and what he brought to marvel- well screw him. If a show is doing well and is the highest rated in it's class the first thing you should do when you take it over is CHANGE IT! Does he have a fan e-mail contact or anything to send him heaping piles of shit!

can't wait to see what the 2nd half of season 2 is like. villain of the week. high 5's and laughs at the end of each episode. no wonder the skrull reveal was being shown in the commercials already- it can't carry for the whole season because it needs to be completed and down to 1 episode 1 story within 10 episodes

Exactly. While not trying to control my kids too much, I do tend to lead them to things that all of us can enjoy together. This is why my daughter loved WatXM, XM:Evo, and Avengerrs. We sat down and talked about the characters and happened in previous eps. At least they are still making a version of the show, so we should be happy for that though.

Yes, because 25 picked up pieces of the story in the middle of AvX 2.

Right now the only show my kids watch with me that I like (sadly I'm forced to watch iCarly and other shows of that ilk) is the new Ultimate Spider-man. It's fun and silly, but it doesn't hold a candle to Avengers: EMH.
Speaking of kids, here's a shot of mine while we passed by the USS Flagg.

Well, not really, it was a decommissioned aircraft carrier that was serving as a museum in San Diego. I did use it as an opportunity to float the idea to my wife that Shane would one day own the GI Joe 7' toy version when he was older. She didn't say no or laugh in my face so I'm taking that as a good sign.

The show will probably be OK for the rest of the season. Its just that the dumbass is going to can it at the end of that and replace it with whatever the new dumbed down show is called.

I don't know. As much as I've enjoyed the new season, there has been an entirely different feel to it. I noticed there was a lot more silliness than I'd ever seen before between the Avengers and Fantastic Four. I loved seeing Hulk use the Thing as a blunt weapon, but I doubt that would have ever happened in season one.
