Krinkle posted:I get all my deep cut knowledge about comic books from having other people give me the cliff notes versions but are you talking about thanos? I thought while he was wild about lady death she didn't give a gently caress about him which is why he killed so many people to woo her? If there's a love triangle thing going on, who is the 4th wall breaking marvel character? Thanos loves Death (and gets the Infinity Gauntlet basically to impress her] but she loves Deadpool. Her feelings are confused and strained because he cannot die.

I like that analogy I heard somewhere else on SA about how Thanos tries to impress death by killing shitloads of people, which he thinks is like giving her flowers but it's more like a boquet of paperwork because that's like, her job.

That's really great and very fitting. Thanos is a chump without the gauntlet. Apocalypse and Mr. Sinister should team up and slap him around.

No she told him to kill half of everybody to prove his love for her, he took a shortcut by getting his hands on the infinity gauntlet and wishing half of everybody dead. This doesn't impress her so he decides to turn of omnipotence for a giant melee against all the still living super heroes. This is the movie they are making next.

My favourite Thanos/Death moment was when she appeared to him in the form of a young girl and talked to him about her needs and desires and he got all embarrassed because she looked like a little child. Then she said, "I am Death. I am not of comfort." and left. Because the guy who straight out murdered half of the entire universe is less creepy than a lot of the people who read comics. EDIT: Thanos: Not a pedo.

My very rational irritation with this discussion is that Marvel's Death is just Death while "Lady Death" is someone else entirely. Marvel's death might be a skeleton with boobs, and Thanos might dig skanky goth chicks, but I don't think he'd be into Lady Death.

Half was the male side of the universe I presume, so he can say he's the last man alive. And then she says she still wouldn't date him?

I didn't mean to come off harsh, it's just that the memory of Lady Death is extremely painful to me. Also, Leo and Raph are the worst Turtles because they have knives/swords and only bludgeon people with them. Donatello is clearly the best because his weapon was made for bludgeoning and he uses it accordingly.

Bugs me everytime I see that movie. Not to mention the very first fight scene after Leo(not the turtle) talks about a phalanx formation, they immediately break ranks to slo-mo fight individual soldiers...

The thing that bugs me about the 300 sequel is that the whole point of the big Magneto spear throw was to show that Xerxes isn't actually a god and that he can bleed. Then in the prequel part they reveal that no, he is in fact magic because he bathed in a puddle and grew hairless and huge. I also thought it was stupid how because Peter Mensah starred in a popular show in between movies they gave him a bigger part, even though in the first movie he was just an emissary.

The worst baby-man I've seen in comics has to be in the (sort of)recent Spider-Verse series. I was flicking through a random issue at a friends and thought the whole time that there was a cosmic/weird universe tiny guy, took me until the end to realise that nope it's meant to be a kidnapped baby....

This version of Death just feels like a ripoff of Gaiman's Sandman's Death, although it possibly pre-dates it. The white-on-black font also feels like a Sandman ripoff, but again probably predates it? Screaming Idiot posted:The only Death that matters is the Death of Discworld.

It is very irritating to me that people can watch the 300 movies and not understand that the hypocrisy of the characters is intentional. They are deliberately over the top propaganda movies and you're not supposed to fall for it. The narration is always in character, from biased perspectives. In the first one the entire movie is revealed to be a story that one Spartan tells to the army just before another battle, intended to rile them up. When Spartans shout about freedom you are supposed to laugh at the funny joke.

In that Meet The Spartans movie the joke seemed to be that the Spartans were all gay with messed up gender/social politics while in 300 the joke was that the Spartans were all gay with messed up gender/social politics and in real life the Spartans were all gay with messed up gender/social politics. All three were funny.

Wait what? his radar sense is just his other four senses working together at superhuman levels, so if you cut out hearing the other three are probably not going to give you much spatial awareness.

Well yeah, but the majority of people in the west don't know jack poo poo about the historical usage of a sai*. To those that vaguely know it exists it's just a cool looking ninja weapon used by ninjas when they do ninja things, and since ninja (the sole users of sais) are elite assassins obviously it's used to stab and slit throats and poo poo. And to be fair unless you examine it up close it looks like a kickass dagger, so readers/viewers would be hella confused when someone got hit with one and they weren't bleeding. *IIRC they were used by the equivalent of law enforcement officers as club and defensive weapon.
