WHAT DID YOU DO?!
I don't have any issue reading it in the proper voice, but I think being unable to do so would make it sound way too snarky. In the right voice, it sounds menacing and threatening instead of quippy and snarky.

Basically, read it the same way JEJ reads "We would be honored, if you would join us."

edit: Alternately "Perhaps you feel you are being treated unfairly?"

drat, there was this really good video (Well, I thought it was funny. Years ago) that had JEJ lines from other movies with the vader filter on dubbed onto Star Wars, and I want to post it here, but I just can't seem to find it.

It works better if you read the last line as a big challenging bellow. Like Conan JEJ, though I guess that's still not really Vader JEJ.

There's a better one that's just his dialogue from Field of Dreams. There's something about Vader marching towards Obi-Wan announcing "I'm gonna beat you with this crowbar, until you go away." that tickles me.

I guess I would have expected Darth Vader to just choke the guy to death and not try to make dance jokes. :shrug:

Heaven forbid they should try to expand on the character beyond "wheeze a lot, cut sons arm off, get electrocuted, die".

He's supposed to be the Emperor's right hand and enforcer but people seem weirdly adverse to seeing him actually doing his job.

This isn't the first time Vader did things like that. I definitely recall one movie having him choke one of the commanders who failed a mission and calmly saying "apology accepted" to the corpse.

Honestly, thinking about it, Empire Strikes Back was great for "snarky" Vader.

She looks like she has fangs when she takes a selfie with Doom, but on the other hand she actually shows up in the photograph.

It's a running gag in the issue that Kirby/Lee era DOOM! shows up and because SG's roommate Nancy needs his help, she has to convince various heroes that it's just a cosplayer.

Eh, it's a vampire thing that they don't show up on camera, too. It was definitely a plot point in Tomb of Dracula a couple times.

Not really, the viewfinder did, but not the film. Film sometimes contains silver though.

Cameras captured a part of the subject's soul and bound it. Vampires have no soul, therefore they don't photograph. Young people today are, as firmly believed by their elders, likewise soulless, yet their infernal devices have no problem taking endless selfies of them, ergo they operate differently from "real" cameras, and should this be able to photograph vampires.

This explanation makes as much or more sense than anything else involved in vampire lore.

This is either a condolences on not being able to visit your family for 6 years, or a congratulations on avoiding them for the same length of time. You pick.
