Things We Saw Today

Things We Saw Today: A Definition of Brave

by Susana Polo | 4:58 pm, March 2nd, 2012


Dean Hipp produces pop culture mashups so good that it makes us angry. And while this isn’t a mashup, we’re still shaking our fists. (Misterhipp)

I admit it, part of the reason I’m so excited to see Cobie Smulders in The Avengers is that I love How I Met Your Mother. (Marvel.com)

  • Comics writer Ed Brubaker would seem to agree. (Twitter)
  • The lawsuit over whether or not Neil Gaiman was owed compensation for major contributions to the canon of Spawn was settled, and now the sum that Todd McFarlane owes him has been ordered by the judge: $382,000, which will come from the escrow account set up when the lawsuit began. Gaiman has said that any money left after he covers legal expenses (even Gaiman isn’t sure how much will actually be left over) will go to charity (I’m guessing the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund).

QMX collectibles has created a replica gun after the one carried by Mal Reynolds in Firefly. No, it does not actually fire.

    Ooh, I think you mean Todd McFarlane, rather than Seth there!

    Unless Gaiman is really mad at Family Guy for never having him on the show…

  • Kath

    Well, TMS might have made a mistake there, but taking money from Seth MacFarlane doesn’t seem like a particularly bad idea.

  • Izzy K

    The Brave definition… is gorgeous and psychic.  It’s in my mind!

    Haha, ohhh Susana! I’ve edited it.

    This is me checking off “Respond to Neil Gaiman in a comment thread at The Mary Sue” on my bucket list.

    Now, if you’ll all excuse me, I have to go buy a Snickers bar for Jane Espenson in a tire shop.

    That is going to be a tough one.

    Awww. I was hoping we could take some money from Seth and give it to an LGBT charity (or a race-related one) in order to stick fingers up at him over his constant mistreatment of LGBT people in his shows.

    Drat, foiled again by you meddling kids!

    Seth MacFarlane is actually a passionate supporter of gay rights, and would probably be more than happy to give his money to an LGBT charity.. Probably already has.

  • Kath

    And? You have seen how he treats transpeople in his shows, yeah? And you have seen how blind he is to how offensive they are?

    Second and third to last questions.

    No doubt he’s also made a lot of comments in his shows about gay people, but none come to mind right at this moment in time.

  • Frodo Baggins

    I’m all over that, pal.
