So he needed more armor for protection but chose to leave his torso exposed and unprotected where his vital organs are?

You mean we will never get an animated version of the crossing then having to do Avengers forever to make sense out of it?

XboxPants posted:Holy poo poo my eyes bugged at out at Hulk offering scientific tips to Tony. Goddamn Avengers I hope you guys are watching out for that, smart hulk is not something you want to gently caress with at all. Possible Maestro forshadowing makes me shiver. Hey, he's a physicist. He knows this poo poo. (That was my favorite part of the episode.. My biggest complaint in the show so far has has been not enough Banner, so it's nice to see him poke through every now and again.)

It seems legit, considering that there was evidence that he didn't leave the team on the best terms. Of course, it's looking more and more like enough interesting things happened during the timeskip that there would've been enough to just show the events. I swear, it's like all the disadvantages of trying to get back into a comic you haven't read in a while without the ability to check out what you missed on wikipedia.

So I've been doing a lot of web surfing to find specific Batman material lately, clips from the 90s animated series and the like, and I keep seeing people talk about Batman: Brave and the Bold like it's an abomination, and that really depresses me. Oh noooo, Batman is being lighthearted! They're ruining everything!

They had easily the best Aquaman and the second best Jamie(the best Jamie is the one from his first series) It was just a fun show.

Best part of the new Young Justice? Watching the whole Bat-family go crazy on a bunch of baddies. Oh...and M'gann brain frying another Krolotean I want to say that I like all of the strange shifts in personal dynamics between a lot of the characters. (Like with Sups/Connor.) But I'm not all that confident that they'll be able to flesh them out properly without seeming hackneyed.

Why not? He has a good power, he's hispanic, and he's from Detroit. Most of all he's an original character, and not just a rehash of an existing one. Not that I don't love the characters you listed, but the smart money goes to Vibe. Maybe they'll bring back Citizen Steel and team them up.

Well, apparently his last series was a horror story of editorial interference. Presumably if competent writers took the character, then he could be salvaged.

I really liked this episode for the sweet Bat Family action and that they didn't defuse the bomb at all and didn't attempt to since they had no clue how it was rigged up. Aqualad reveal seems fine with me because did you see his dad's sweet gig? I'd totally want in on that.Die Laughing posted:Why not? He has a good power, he's hispanic, and he's from Detroit.

Chaltab posted:Well true, but considering that we've seen 1) the reboot is not generating significant numbers of new readers and 2) Vibe and the entire Detroit League were so reviled, it surprises me that DC thinks he should get a push. It was Geoff Johns' idea. It's the logical extension of his "You think character X is a joke? I'm going to make you like him, and there's nothing you can do about it!" philosophy. I bet he's going to flip the script on the Detroit League and make them like the New Avengers to the Justice Leagues Avengers.

USM remains a disappointment this week, but Spider-Man getting smashed up against the window was hilarious to me for some reason. I kind of wish that the show would just be full on comedy instead of trying to mix in legit super heroics.

Meanwhile, the Avengers just kicked poo poo into high gear. Bobbi as one of Fury's Secret Warriors and the Skrull Queen? Holy poo poo  Gotta wonder how far they'll take this though. If someone utters the words "he loves you" I may just poo poo a brick.

Does this take place in the same universe before or after Justice League Unlimited? Because if it is before, I want to know why Harkgirl ended up married to Hawkman and not Jon Stewart. And what happened to all of the other leagers.

It's better because it's not at all the comic event, like at all. Secret Invasion is bogged down by bad resolution and really horrible set up. EMH doesn't have to focus on all that ridiculousness, you just have some really well written Avengers and then maybe some Kree show up. Poor Carol too
