TwoPair posted:They'd probably react in a much bigger way, because even though Joker suffers the same sort of issues Bullseye and many other supervillains do, (i.e. insane body count, should be dead, inexplicably aren't due to hero's no-kill code and apparent total lack of death penalty in Big Two universes), Joker has one big thing working in his favor: murder's not his only thing. I know it's like the only thing he does nowadays, but that's just due to poor writers who can't figure out how to write a good story where Batman chortles at the Joker's boner crimes without a triple-digit body count. Bullseye, by comparison, is just a murderer. He works as an assassin, whether for Kingpin or Norman Osborn or for his own shits and giggles, and he murders people by the dozen with a poo poo-eating grin on his face. And he's not even crazy, either. Wait how the hell is Bullseye not crazy? Also it's not really fair to say that Joker is all boner crimes since he's existed from the Golden Age when every bad guy did stuff like that.

Has anyone used Delicious Library to organize their comics? They were talking about it on the giant bomb podcast to catalog their video game collections. It looks like something I can finally used to get all my poo poo in order but seems to be OSX only? I just want something I use my phone to scan barcodes and cross reference it with amazon and save it in a database that I can organize and back up to the cloud so I can put all this poo poo I don't read in a box.

I think "boner crimes" is a positive. All the lovely Batman villains are just serial killers with a gimmick. On the other hand, crooks with a gimmick are actually fun. It wouldn't be amusing to see Catman escape from Batman in his jumping Catmobile after he killed a dozen children and surgically altered the corpses to look like catpeople.

Timeless Appeal posted:I've never really understood the tone of Invincible. Rather relatedly: It's nineties Image. It hides it very well with its clean art style, but Invincible feels massively influenced by Savage Dragon to me and other Image comics of the time. The character exposition Kirkman does all the time sounds just like Larsen to me, and Dragon became a comic with goofy villains like Powerhouse but also with scenes where Officer Dragon accidentally punches off people's heads because whups he thought they were superhuman oopsie. I'm kind of surprised the similarities in style don't get brought up more often, and I guess that probably has something to do with the amount of people who read Savage Dragon.

Didn't Kirkman get his start writing Savage Dragon spinoffs, too? It was pretty close to Battle Pope either way. Kirkman is just a child of the '90s in general-- it was very telling that one of the first things he did when he got his hands on Ultimate X-Men was introduce Ultimate Cable and Ultimate Mister Sinister.

For those not hep, Superpatriot was a Captain America analogue who gets all of his limbs bit off by a shark villain in the first Savage Dragon series, and has them replaced with cyber-limbs that turn into guns. The nineties, yes.

 A goddamn murderers row of coolest dudes in business. Although this is a lineup I would've expected on a book about hip-hop culture or something in that vein, not a Jack Kirby tribute. And seeing that every one of them prefers to color himself, Dynamite won't gently caress this up.

Also it's not really fair to say that Joker is all boner crimes since he's existed from the Golden Age when every bad guy did stuff like that. Oh I totally think Bullseye is nuts, but he always just seems to go back to the Raft or whatever regular prison Marvel has. Actually, side question, does Marvel really have a crazy-people prison separate from the general wants-to-rob-banks prison? I'm just thinking of how, in Gotham City, insane criminals always go to Arkham Asylum and sane ones go to Blackgate Prison, but I never really see that distinction in Marvel NYC. Everybody just gets shipped off to the same place, regardless of how loony they are.

Marvel has Ravenloft, and unlike Arkham, you have to be REALLY nuts or otherwise not in control of yourself to be sent there. More Carnage, Vermin and all than, like, Riddler. It's not seen too often, and Slott went and killed off Dr. Kafka, the lady who runs the place. Bullseye is very sadistic and definitely sociopathic but I don't think he hears voices, is delusional, suffered horrible trauma or is unable to understand the consequences of his actions.

You know that's a slow sign of Deadpool starting to be accepted as a hero, or at least well meaning nutbag. Almost no one tries to arrest or commit him anymore, Punisher even stopped trying to kill him on sight sometime before the new Thunderbolts. Admittedly, that last one might be out of sheer frustration.

At his worst, Bullseye is Marvel's equivalent of Major Force. His motivation is that he likes killing people, and when the authors want to hold up a sign informing you that the current status quo is run by bad guys, they use Bullseye as an agent.
