Fuego Fish posted:You know, I love how they wrote this big, convoluted storyline in order to retcon away Peter and MJ's marriage so that Spider-Man would be "more relateable to the reader" and then within ten years of that, he's the head of a multinational corporation. Part of Peter having his own company is that it's way past the norm for him. Mid twenties millionaire inventer is kind of a thing these days. It's a good power fantasy to couple with being a costumed adventurer. Peter is still relatable because he doesn't act like a corporate suit, he's still a goofy nerd with a good heart. It's not exactly that Peter is always broke that makes the character relatable, but that he's constantly on the verge of losing everything. Eventually Parker Industries will be destroyed by the Green Goblin, or bought out by Puma (remember him?). This multinational house of cards is making the current volume of Amazing Spider-Man a must read for life long reader who only ever broke from his collection because Slott took over.

Lurdiak posted:Killing Joker to stop him from killing someone else or enacting some kinda evil plan is what law enforcement would do, but murdering a guy in handcuffs is another beast altogether. I mean, it's not like the Joker is black or anything. He's the whitest dude ever. There will never be an "accidental" shooting of that man.

Actually they stated him being a broke man child was what made him relatable. They weren't talking about an ideal but a specific position. Mainly because it is all bullshit that was meaningless from the start.

qntm posted:I may be misremembering but I think the way Kingdom Come ended was a compromise between Waid's intended ending and Alex Ross's intended ending, which were completely incompatible with one another, so we got neither. I actually don't know what their individual endings would have been. However, Ross has a commentary hidden in the background of the collected version only epilogue at the Planet Krypton restaurant. If you look close, one of the nearby tables to the Trinity has Ross, Waid, and editor Dan Raspier sitting at it. Ross is on one side, the other two on the other, and they're pretty clearly arguing.

mind the walrus posted:Tbf literally any fat, white, brown-haired dude can make a good Doc Ock. Possibly, but I imagine only certain people can make the all-white suit and visor glasses work. My first exposure to the man was a Sinister Six collection in the library with him in that look(Also Hobgoblin as some kind of I dunno, with actual flame powers). I remember it strongly; the eventual plot was he was doing was something like 'launch satellite to dose the world with stuff that will end drug(Heroin specifically?) use by forcing allergic reactions-then sell shots of a temporary fix for that'.

The Vision #1 The Vision has decided to delete his previous emotional baggage and start fresh in a suburban life with a wife and two kids of his own creation. He's just given a neighbour couple a tour of the house.

Okay, I get that they don't need to eat, but if they're synthezoids or whatever, why don't they have taste buds? Eating food you really don't need to eat just because it tastes good seems like a core part of suburban existence that they're missing out on.

I assume the cookies were for the guests? And since they left, and the robots don't really need to eat, they're just throwing away the leftover cookies?

Eating food you really don't need to eat just because it tastes good seems like a core part of suburban existence that they're missing out on. The Vision is based off the original Human Torch, who is just a dude made of science parts. Blood, bones, cells, DNA, all that stuff. He could give blood transfusions to people. The degree to which anyone remembers this is always up for grabs, and thus Vision can be a "Be-boop" robot or he can be an artificial man.

Sorry, but this is the Vision of Zur-En-Arrh, who canonically both lacks taste buds, and also has a small tattoo (carved with an adamantium needle) on his inner thigh as an unsightly reminder of a night with that planet's Deadpool in New Tijuana.

Vision has tastebuds, but he neglected to install them when he built his wife and children. He actually wanted the cookies, but he turns his back for five loving seconds and she throws them away. He says "nice", sarcastically, then catches himself and makes up some bullshit to cover his slipup. Then she called him on it, and he couldn't let that bitch win after chunking his cookies, so he kept bullshitting until she shut the gently caress up. Tonight, he will drink alone in the study, clenching his hand and thinking of how awesome those cookies would have tasted. "Yes," he will think to himself, "I have created a seamless marriage."

Do they give an award at the Eisners for speech bubble arrangement? Maybe a special award for that effort. e: \/ I actually think the full page of dialogue over one image thing is quite a neat device. I wouldn't want to see it all the time, but I think splash pages devoted to just two people talking is a nice thing to see. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Nov 5, 2015 |

I'm actually really surprised at how good overall post-SW Marvel has been so far, hopefully there'll be minimal Status Quo resets for all this(except maybe the stuff involving Mutants getting screwed over), there was some really nice bits in Deadpool showing that despite becoming rich and the most popular hero in the world he's still trying to figure out how to be a better person, how best to help other people(including recruiting a bunch of minor heroes like Solo and Stingray to be part of his organization and being the current financial support to the Avengers), and still trying to deal with both all the horrible crap he's been through in the past, and his very deeply ingrained self-loathing issues, also a nice moment involving the still Inverted Sabertooth heavily regretting the role he played in Wade's past miseries(really makes me annoyed that they undid Hobgoblin and Carnage's inversions, both were much more interesting as "Heroes" than what they normally are)

I'm confused at why they'd bother stepping back from his AXIS characterization-- he was still a bad, selfish, cruel guy, just one with a more interesting schtick than "Green Goblin but orange who was cool for a little while in the 80's."
