If you have Netflix and you want to access the UK site, download Google Chrome which is an internet service. Then on Google Chrome, download something called Zenmate which will automatically attach to your Google Chrome. It'll appear in your tool bar as a green shield. Click on it and you can turn off your IP address. It's very simple. Then just enter the UK Netflix and it's all there.
It's completely legal, safe, very, very easy and it won't be added to your Netflix bill. If you own Netflix, it's your right to have all of it. Turning off your IP address simply disallows the regional restrictions, and it's completely sound.

Just started on season 3 of Ultimate Spider-Man. One question: Is the animation a little different? Because MJ looks different than the previous 2 seasons.

New Avengers #23: Did not see that coming. Well played Jonathan Hickman. Just started on season 3 of Ultimate Spider-Man. One question: Is the animation a little different? Because MJ looks different than the previous 2 seasons. If you spoil me I know where you live. To answer your question yes, the animation is changed. It changed between season one and two as well. As has the animation for the other shows. It already had great animation, but now it's getting even better animation. |

The ice bucket challenge is a Vatican plot to baptise all heretics.  New Avengers #23: Did not see that coming. Well played Jonathan Hickman. You suppose ridiculous outcomes are good plot developments? I've actually been saddened by how much his story has dipped in quality. There's a lot of filler, Banner is at the gamma bomb test site in New Mexico, Beast is discussing with his younger self, Dr Strange is drinking tea and asks Wong if he is a good man to which Wong replies "NO", Tony Stark is pouring shots but not drinking them, T'Challa visits Storm and talks about what could have been, yadayadayada, Reed goes to see Valeria in Latveria and Black Bolt is on the moon crying with Lockjaw beside him... the characters aren't really going anything. It's dull. There's no urgency. It's trying to be deep and meaningful and it just isn't. The characters are just being weird. Then Namor gives a similar speech to what was given at the beginning of the series about how "everything dies", and it's all very silly. Why hasn't anyone like Reed or Tony corrected him on this? The characters have a irrational, war mongering feel to them, and they're not making any sense. Why does there always have to be such a stupid Viking mentality to these once honourable heroes nowadays? Namor is revealed to be a dormant masochist. Everything dies? Uh.. no it doesn't. Energy never dies, it is only transferred. This is someone who is supposed to be smart and scientific but instead he goes mad with depression and decides that he must slaughter entire world's of innocents. Nothing truly dies. Energy is only passed on. But still, Namor and the Cabal start slaughtering the occupants of Earth-9004 and it's not very well explained where these characters got their "Everything dies, so everything must die" agenda. It's not explained at all. They should know that energy is never created and it never dies and they should also understand that the entropy of any isolated system never decreases. Such systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium which is the state of maximum entropy of the system. Namor is simply acting out of depression with callousness and genocide, a war mongering similarity to that seen in the characters of AvX. And it's freaking ridiculous. I know Namor is depressed, but I can't wrap my head around his insane brutality upon so many people. Let's face it, he loves to battle. And when there's nothing else to fight, the heroes are likely to fight each other. There's no need for such blood lust. WTF does how think it will achieve? It's ridiculous. |

They were burdened with the knowledge that the world was going to end. This was them spending their last day. How do these characters handle this knowledge? What do they do for their final day? It was tragic. As for the rest, re-read the whole series from the start. Find the theme. You've missed clearly missed a lot if you're not understanding it and I have no interest in writing an essay to explain it. That speech Namor gave has been a running thing. |

It's not sympathetic to them, but to the people they're killing, whom we haven't had any intimate insight of, so the tragedy is just thrown in there for the sake of tragedy. And there's no reason for why Namor would do that. It's very ill-explained, psychosomatically. It's tragic for the sake of wanting to be tragic, a ridiculous agenda that doesn't make any sense. I'm not mad. The characters are. There's no reason at all why Namor would want to slaughter an entire planet of people with his own hand. Rationalise that for second. It's crazy. He thinks he's going to die, so with the Viking bloodlust I've mentioned several times about the callousness of the so-called heroes, that's how he decides his last days. Makes sense, given the Viking warrior mentality of so many heroes in recent years. I just wish the universe' writers were more aware of it. I've been reading it since the beginning. But if you don't want to provide a logical explanation, I can't / am not going to force you. |

How do they spend it? Brutally murdering innocents. You saw that with your own two eyes. No, they don't. That "boring" scene of Bruce going back to the Hulk's roots to say goodbye to the Hulk, Beast talking to Beast, Doctor Strange talking to Wong, Tony fighting his alcoholism, T'Challa returning to Storm, Reed visiting his daughter, and Black Bolt dealing with the fact that he failed his people. That's their "last day". Every single one of those moments was a heavy emotional beat for the characters. I've been reading it since the beginning. But if you don't want to provide a logical explanation, I can't / am not going to force you. It does make sense if you're reading and comprehending the book. I just don't have the time in my life to type all that up. I'm very busy with multiple jobs and family. Tell you what, if you're still confused by the end of the run I'll explain the whole thing when it's over. |

Someone is upset about a woman wielding Thor's hammer because "it's messing with history and it's wrong." This person is pretty upset how Marvel doesn't stick strictly to mythology.

Good ol' misogynists! Always looking for some bullshit reason to justify their hate. To be fair, they're upset with how Marvel treats the whole Norse mythology thing. Also just found out there's people who want MJ to be played by Emma Stone in Amazing Spider-Man 3. How...would that work? Are people smoking something? Because in a poll the majority want an actress who has already played Gwen to come back and be Mary Jane. That would create a whole romance plot where Peter only gets with her because she looks like his dead girlfriend and that's weird. Some site said there were reports, but I doubt it. |

Damn those misogynists for giving a girl a man's name.  I was talking about Namor and Thanos' crew. That's how they decided to spend their last days. It was at the end of the issue. Please don't misquote me. I never said it was boring. I'm not confused either. I'm just debating the character agenda of Namor. He's just decided to slaughter an entire planet full of people with his own two hands. Make of that what you will. I'm not confused about anything, I was just explaining what happened. Edit - There's no need to be patronising. |

Dull, as in lacking in liveliness. I didn't find it boring, I just thought it lacked that spark, energy, urgency, etc. I explained that.
But more to the the point, Namor's actions are ca-razy. Viking mentality etc.
No?
(And yes, Wyo dull is a synonym for boring, but I didn't say boring. There's a reason why there's two different words. Dull can also imply dull light. It's more a statement of what it lacks than what it is, which is why I chose my words carefully).

I want to jump in on the New Avengers discussion here. I don't think that Namor is just killing worlds to delight in it, he's doing it to save his home. When his allies lost the will to "do what is necessary" he turned to people he knew would have no such compunctions. Namor also has never been a straight laced good guy, just look at his actions with T'Challa and Wakanda. He is a king who will defend his people at all costs. As for the rest of the Illuminati I have to say it was all very cliched on how they were going to spend their final minutes but I get it. If the world was ending and I knew it but no one else did I would certainly want to spend my last moments among those I love the most.
All that being said if you read "Avengers" today it looks like the Illuminati are in some deep trouble

Blowing up other worlds for the sake of your own is one thing. Going into other worlds, slaughtering everyone, and THEN blowing up the world? Wow.
Now I don't know about you guys, but I'd say that was pure sadism through and through. I know Namor has always been more Neutral than Good or Evil, but slaughtering billions of innocents with his own two hands for no other reason than enjoyment is a pretty F'd up turn of events for the character. I know he doesn't usually have much trouble with destroying societies with or without casualties, but there's always some reason for his actions, as there naturally should be with such drastic decisions.
