This week, after much thought and contemplation, the win goes out to Cliff.
Great pose, great details, slightly confusing origin story, but great work! Well done you!

Ok guys, last week I asked you all to come up with the best caption for this panel:
And your top 5 are:
The Atomic Punk: Breathing his last, Kurusu Kimihito made a deathbed confession: “Anime was a mistake.”
The Atomic Punk: And you were there… and you were there… it was just awful!
Rekulhs Nathe: I swear to god there better not be boobs in my face when I wake up!
HerrD: He did NOT say he would live till the school was empty. He said he would die when there were no more pupils.
Calvary Red: The news that he was allergic to monster girls hit them all pretty hard.
But, of course, there can only be one, and our winner is….

And we’re back again! Its November now, but why quit a good thing? This entry was a little more difficult, I ended up watching three different films for it. I’ll talk really quickly about the other two, but our main focus will be The Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney Sr., from 1925. This will be both the first with a ‘feature length’ runtime, and the first Hollywood film I’ve reviewed for this project. So let’s get to it!

This month marks the tenth anniversary of a very “special” storyline, a storyline delivered to us by our good friends at Marvel Comics Inc. And to celebrate, we’ve gone above and beyond and baked a cake. It’s a lovely chocolate cake. It’s a belgian chocolate sandwich with white chocolate icing on top and even chocolate chips in the cake mix. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but a lot of people would look at it and say “you know what, that’s a good cake”. And you know what Marvel, as you are the ones celebrating this occasion, I’m going to let you have a slice. See how good that tastes. Now, for no real reason, I’m going to take that cake away from you and replace it with a plain old Victoria Sponge. Oh and by the way, that Victoria Sponge is 20 years old and a bit mouldy. And for good measure I may have vomited on it, but hey, that’s the cake you’re getting from now on.
Now, if anyone doesn’t get that entire long winded metaphor, let me explain. That is exactly how I feel about the storyline we are discussing today. What we had wasn’t perfect but it was something that a lot of people really liked and then this storyline came along and replaced it with a status quo that was 20 years out of date and garnished it with as much bile and excretion as possible. This week we are taking a look at THE WORST storyline Marvel comics (or anyone for that matter) has ever published, on the tenth anniversay of its month of release. What Were They Thinking, the place where we look at the most stupid and ill-advised things in comic book history presents to you the stupid and ill-advised dumpster fire that is: One More Day

Hey, everyone, back again and looking at horror films. Also kicking myself for doing a project like this while also armpit-deep in Halloween, but that’s neither here nor there. Let’s instead move into 1912 and talk about one of the two versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde made during this decade. Let’s get to it.
