I know it's movie news, but the just announced news that Karl Urban being in the new Thor movie as Skurge gives a high likelihood of this thread's favorite Thor panels being committed to film.

Gavok posted:I know exactly where you're coming from and that was an immediate letdown, but over time I was more accepting of it because at the end of the day, the moral is "DC heroes aren't supposed to be this way" and it's refreshing to see that out of some kind of DC media these days. I feel you on that, but I still feel that even THAT story wasn't told super well. Especially with the weird part of the game where the entire plot takes a break so Ed Boon can give a reach-around to Deathstroke. The probably-best issue of the Injustice comic expressed the sentiment of Injustice being "wrong" better than the game ever did, for me.

It just won't be the same if he's using some kinda goofy laser gun, which is highly likely.

Lurdiak posted:When Injustice 2 inevitably comes out, it had BETTER be about a Dr. Doom style evil Batman who took over his own world breaking Evil Superman out of his Superjail to form the World's Crudest Team. That sounds pretty rad, to be honest.

I dug these up to make a joke in the marvel heroes thread but they fit here too. Magnetowns, in X-Men Legacy #251.

I haven't read that series, and I'm not familiar with that character, so maybe somebody can explain to me why all those men thought it was a good idea to attack Magneto with guns and knives and other metallic weaponry?

The run was about chasing down some of Legion's personalities that were able to gain their own physical form. This one was a sound based mimetic virus, hearing him speak would turn you into a clone of him. He didn't quite fully grasp Magneto's powers because he was just a fragment of David's psyche.

Trast posted:Amen to that. Let's have an argument over why Batman would be a much more interesting villain. Last week I read the trade of Mark Millar's Nemesis, alternately described as "what if Batman was the Joker" and "what if Batman was a oval office". Trast posted:Batman would be a much more interesting villain. How I wish you were right. (Although the scene where the President of the United States decides to go out as a suicide bomber instead of a hostage in a 'KILL EITHER YOUR WIFE OR THE PRESIDENT' dilemma is pretty badass.)

That scene specifically made me stop buying Millar comics. I've read his recent stuff and it's surprisingly decent, but I'm not going to spend money on another of his books for fear of it turning into Nemesis.

At the time a friend and I were buying comics and reading each other's. My friend got this and I got S.H.E.I.L.D. Even though my comic never finished, I'm glad I got the better of the two comics.

Oh, and that reminds me. When I first learned of that scene, I thought the point was that she was his barely-pubescent daughter. But she's his adult daughter, who was selected by So why is it being presented as if it's her father's choice? It's strange -- you show me Batman riding on the outside of a commercial jet, and smashing open the cockpit and taking control of the plane, I'd think that was pretty badass. But when Nemesis rode on Air Force One a thousand feet up and crawled to the cockpit and shot the pilots dead through the windshield and then took the President hostage and forced the plane to ram into the ground and collide with a tanker truck full of gasoline, I just rolled my eyes.

Nemesis shows one of Millar's really big issues: instead of trying to conceive of a villain whose vile deeds make organic sense, it comes off far more like he sat down, made a checklist of the worst things he could think of, and then had the villain do them with magic never fail plot powers. Terrible deeds do not inherently make a great villain, especially when they come off as forced as Millar's tend to. His Ultimate Red Skull was another example. He clearly felt he had to try and top the original, but how do you top a murderous, hateful Nazi? Turns out you really can't, and in trying you almost make the villain a pitch-black comedy figure.

What did Millar's Ultimate Red Skull do? Sam J. Fury has him capped in the head at the end. Wikipedia tells me that URS was responsible for killing Kennedy, was involved in VietNam and various tinpot asian dictators, killed the Red Wasp's son and caused the AIM team that helped synthesize his cosmic cube to eat themselves.

His wish is to be able to get his childhood back and have, like, a real family. Well, that doesn't seem so terrible, you could wring some decent pathos out of - quote:Sam J.
