It's why I predict the market will crash when most boomers exit the hobby. The "keys" will still have a large-enough pool of collectors for the short supply to still be worth big $$$$$, but everything else will be excessive supply in a shrinking market.
I suspect that those who rebuke this prediction have a lot of skin in the game, and this narrative hurts 'em.

...did not love the uneven cgi even the explanation of the director makes no sense -saying its the perception of Barry inside the speedforece that makes us see this kind of outdated cgi...
His explanation makes sense for the repeat-3D-memory effects, but nothing else.

So essentially, they were hacks! LOL
It would be interesting for me to learn the history of Quality Control in comic book MFG. It seemed to be minimal prior to the Bronze Age.

Sure...doesn't change the fact that he was the architect of the DCEU - his cast, his vision, his plots, his visual aesthetic, his version of the characters.
Yeah, let's forget all of those pesky writers and producers and other people who influenced each movie... Get a grip, dude.

I'd say in collecting, I favor DC, but in movies, I'm not proud, I'd watch anything. I just told someone tonight, that I think the first Iron Man was my favorite...but that's also because I loved his origin in the comics.
Well, to be fair to yourself, Iron Man is quite an excellent CBM.

Seeing as how poorly the movie is doing he can say, "Nope wasn't me, they CGI'd my stuff".
The CGI for putting his face on the stunt double was bad... His mouth wasn't even moving while talking to Flash.

The cut was determined by how the cover was wrapped at the spine, mostly.

So they won't hold onto books and ship them at the same time even if requested?
Nope, and it makes sense to me. Chances increase everyday that they'd get lost at CGC HQ. With the volume they grade, best to ship out ASAP.

On Friday, I bought tickets for July 23rd. Even though I'm sure that the movie will be a blast, I'm not sure if I'll see it twice in theaters.

Just be glad that scamming isn't rampant enough for someone to start a Creator Blacklist, unlike some other hobbies.

If I submit some books all under the same tier, but some will be pressed by CCS and others will not, will they all be shipped back to me at the same? Or do the the unpressed books get graded first then sent out and the others also when they are finished.
Answered your own question.

CGC didn't have a Yellow+Green label when that example was graded.

It's really too bad that they didn't complete the technical aspects of the movie (VFX), because the creative choices don't hurt it that much, but the combination of the two make this a very average 2.5-hour watch.
I did enjoy it more the 2nd time around. Probably a 3.8/5 IMO.

Man, the scene where Flash enters the Chronosphere for the first time is so sick.

Just trying to gain some momentum for the last DC movie of the year.
That much was obvious. It was the only part that made the entire theater laugh for our showing, though.

Seeing it tonight. Did the post credit scene reveal anything forward looking? Also was there one or two post movie scenes?
No, but it's hilarious.

18 Canadians just hoisted it including the MVP. The Knights had two American players in the finals, I believe? You're welcome, Las Vegas.
Difference being that they're employed by MURICA.

It's almost always been a hassle with international customers for me, so the shipping rates are just half of the equation.

...I tend to believe that comic collectors often have a huge percentage of their net worth tied up in their collectibles...
That's because collectors want things that are tangible. Some people put money into a market, or their house, but hobbyists have other ideas.

I personally think she sucks as an actress, but I'm not exactly expecting the MCU to get this one right.
