The resolution of the plot has Sam travelling back in time to fight Sin and Steve grows up with an irrational fear of black men in patriotic outfits.

I half expect it to be Bucky going back and they make some half-assed pre-destination paradox about that's why Steve liked him so much when he grew up.

I've seen a bunch of news stories about how Cap is a bad guy so you know, that's why they did it. At least this is one character change Foxnews won't go berzerk about. https://twitter.com/chrisarrant/status/735557426888347649 zoux fucked around with this message at 15:30 on May 26, 2016 |

I actually like Nick Spencer's Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers 1 was actually pretty good outside of those last two pages, which went for that sweet sweet comics shock value over good storytelling so I say bring Nazi Cap on. Especially since it pisses off aggressively ignorant idiots on social media who don't get that comics have done this poo poo all the time since its inception.

 Fighting American is the only shield carrying hero who would never ever turn Nazi. Well him and the Shield, but who the gently caress cares about The Shield?* I did, once.

He was Nick Fury's boss in the modern day. The hardest superheroes to fold into one world in this exercise were the Power Rangers, btw.

There's a storytelling style that's essential to them actually feeling like Power Rangers, though, and it starts to fall apart in a world bring with superheroes. At best we could get it like Captain Marvel and the Shazammies in the broader DC universe: changing up most of what was so distinctive about the property originally, but at least nodding toward it every so often. We did manage to have both the Green and White Rangers by having the latter be older Tommy who time-travelled from the future for some reason. And now I'm remembering all sorts of details about this whole idea, like how we folded the Mortal Kombat characters in to it because why not, right? I think Spawn and Scorpion and Ghost Rider had a three-way mutual resentment thing going.

HBO announced that Westworld was coming out this fall and while checking into it, II was surprised to see that Ed Brubaker is writing for the show. I checked his page, looks like this is his first TV gig, looking forward to it.

You know what I find really amusing and sad (for DC) about this Captain America thing is that somehow Marvel has taken what is an obvious shorter term story point and twist and it has completely overshadowed DC who on the same day basically just made the most controversial change to their comics imaginable by bringing Watchmen into the main DC Universe. DC's biggest gamble in years and it's getting completely overshadowed.

Usually I am pretty content with quietly lurking the threads in BSS, but the other day I was catching up with some thread and someone said something disparaging about the CG Spider-Man show, like it being bad, looking ugly, or something along those lines. It was just a short little snide remark, and the post was at least 6 pages old, so I figured I'd let it go, but now it's been a full day and it's eating at me. I can't let this go. It needs to be said: The Spider-Man show, made by Mainframe Entertainment, which aired on MTV, was spectacular. More than any other animated series before or after, it captured the grace and fluidity of Spider-Man as he swung through the city, dodged danger, and fought crime. It also had fantastic lighting and atmosphere, I remember a lot of episodes liked casting his silhouette in shadows and letting his eyes glow menacingly. It's hard to prove how cool it was because anyone who watches it now will think it looks like rear end, but I promise, when it aired, it looked awesome. Don't diss CG Spider-Man. It was made by the guys who did Reboot!

I actually largely agree. And I really liked NPH as Spidey, he had a really solid everyman tone for Peter, and a good quick delivery for Spider-Man banter.

Everyone hated it when Doctor Octopus became the new Spider-Man, too. Marvel still laughed all the way to the bank, and by the end people were calling it the best Spider-Man story in years.

DC's biggest gamble in years and it's getting completely overshadowed. I hadn't considered that the CA reveal was specifically planned to coincide with the release of Rebirth, but in hindsight it makes total sense and is brilliant. Over on Reddit, after some early excitement for Rebirth, /r/comicbooks was basically overrun with Captain America posts by midday, and today still has way more Captain America posts than Rebirth. Not an objective metric but it sure felt like Captain America overshadowed Rebirth hard on Reddit once people started reading the rest of their books.

Well Rebirth was spoiled something like four days ago. The release of the actual comic book is pretty insignificant, honestly. It's barely even a story despite being 80 pages long.

True. I had figured there'd be enough people who kept themselves away from spoilers that it'd still be huge, but it's still a totally spoiled comic vs a twist ending with little build/teasing/spoiling.

I don't think there's a problem with the actual story so much as in the execution of the story. Like, just like it's in poor taste to kill Spider-Man while he cries in a dying old man's body on the great big #700 issue of his comic, it's a poor idea to make your [Hero] #1 end with "[Hero] is a villain! Whaaat?" I get that it's just a gimmick to hook readers for a storyline that'll inevitably end with Cap back to normal, but I'm of the opinion that your #1s should put their best foot forward and make the main character someone the reader is interested in rather than trying to get them with "okay let's see what form of mind control bullshit it is this time". But then I guess I'm not running a comic book company so I guess bullshit plot hooks are what get the sells these days with the youth *yells at cloud* TwoPair fucked around with this message at 00:58 on May 27, 2016 |

It's all about how easy you can make a headline. "Captain America is a nazi" is easier to understand than "Blue-donged man terrorizes ten years of comic universe". DC blew their big controversy by choosing something that's nearly impenetrable to non-nerds. to me, it feels kind of self-indulgent in a way I can't really put into words.

CapnAndy posted:I really hope they do a kill-everybody cliffhanger for Infinity War part 1 so they can do a Thunderbolts movie in the interim. I like where you're going, but it involves Thanos' plan includes a) kill everyone who could stop him and b) don't complete his plan for several months. Thunderbolts exists because the Avengers appeared to die while succeeding in stopping Onslaught, there was no part 2. Now that I say it that would be a good ending for Infinity 2.

Ghostlight posted:The paucity of the back catalog outside of the headliners is my one criticism of Unlimited. In fairness, if you check out the "added this week" section, once you scroll past comics from 6 months ago they add a couple dozen or so deep cuts from the back issues. I wouldn't expect Thunderbolts until a movie is announced, it's mostly been 90's X-men recently, and before that Doctor Strange around when the first trailer popped up.
