(If anything, I think the Goyer incident proved conclusively what nonsense people will say when they think they're in similar company as opposed to a mixed audience. First, Craig Mazin started the ball rolling with some extremely douchey lead-in questions which he claimed were taken out of context, but... y'know, still, I wouldn't call a female hero "a giant green porn star" in front of the screenwriter for a Conan the Barbarian movie, dig what I'm saying? Nobody wants to get their ass kicked by the woman who penned Nicholas Cage's sappiest role to date. Also, Mazin later stated he admires Anita Sarkeesian, which is probably why he called a character sexist despite not really taking much time to research them in-depth. MOVIN' ON.)

(Goyer, seeing that the Bro Gauntlet has been thrown, proceeds to enumerate his opinion that Hulk was some kind of wish fulfilment for emasculated readers, which... eh, not really. The closest thing to a genuine teenage power fantasy Marvel had in the 60's was Spider-Man, and when he started acting like a big-shot, his uncle was killed an hour later. But, no, Hulk was intended to be an audience surrogate in his mind, and She-Hulk was created for the sole purpose of steamy, muscular behemoth sex. Which would technically be considered incest in most states, but let's not think too hard about the Banner family tree.)

(Then, as conversation often naturally does, the topic segued to another green-skinned individual: Martian Manhunter, and how he could adapted to a live-action format. It's often been a particular concern of fans eager to see lesser-known heroes get their foot in the door, and the conversation probably should have become a little more serious at this point. Instead, he made a lazy 'nerds don't get any' joke and went into a rant about how J'onn doesn't use his powers for saving the world, just solving homicides. This is a weird example of ignorance, honestly - Goyer's very conception of Martian Manhunter seems to have stalled at his 1965 introduction in Detective Comics, before he even joined the JLA, but most people unfamiliar with J'onn tend to think of his Bronze Age-onward incarnation from stuff like Justice League or Smallville. How do you even get stuck in an intellectual rut like that if you're not over 55 and have stopped paying attention to DC stuff decades ago? And furthermore, why has Time-Warner trusted people so deeply cynical of the source material and its fanbase to adapt their characters to film? Jesus, Marvel has a movie starring a bunch of aliens coming out next month, and you're still so concerned about perceived 'realism' that you only got your ducks in a row about Wonder Woman when she's piggybacking off Batman! Is it any wonder they're cumulatively making almost twice the cash at the box office?)

What is the point about that X-Men post. No one cares about Black Panther. He is completely useless. Why would anyone even like him
