I don't think he's limited to bows in the comics. I recall one where he was like kidnapped but then he gets a hand free and kills all the bad guys by literally flicking his fingernails at the bad guys and they all die.

E: yeah here it is:


That is from Ultimates, the Avengers reboot/alternate universe comic, and it is very very bad in general. Hulk is a cannibal rape-to-death monster that is basically Banner's personal stress outlet and not so much alter ego, e.g.

e: Courtesy of Mark Millar, who brought you other fine master pieces of poo poo like Wanted and Kick-rear end/Kick-rear end 2

he did it over several hours while they were torturing him it's not exactly clear. Millar has laid some turds in his time but i thought ultimates 1 and 2 were fun.

I got far enough for the first two but number three holy poo poo. I thought the part where the Ultimates were clowning on Bruce for having a tummy ache after he wrecked up a bunch of aliens and ate them was pretty funny but honestly I should've figured where it would lead.

Hulk kills and eats the leader of the bad guy alien invaders, who is a super tough bad guy who regenerates a lot, so ... SHIELD has to literally collect his poo and contain it in jars to keep the bad guy from reforming. This is actually shown, Nick Fury explains they have to collect Hulk's poo of the bad guy and put it in jars and you are shown guys in hazmat suits carrying around the jars of Hulk's poo.

If only Zach Snyder was directing the Marvel films. We could have had all these scenes rendered beautifully on film.

I quite liked Half in the Bag's riff on Snyder's Ant-Man:

"Ant-Man, do you bleed tiny blood?"

"Ant-Man would definitely use his ants to murder people."

"We've always imagined God as big.... But your God is small."

It was funny and disturbing watching this guy turn what I'm sure is hundreds of bux worth of toys into garbage in his pursuit of making a zika baby black widow with nipples. But it stopped being funny toward the end when he says "This one probably won't go in my display case, because of my kids".

Ant Man being a wife beater makes perfect sense in a poetic heroic sense. He is both literally and figuratively a tiny man, which is his strength and his weakness. I've never read any of his comics, but does he display other signs of petty power and control over those weaker than him in his private life?

Yeah, Ed Brubaker, who was writing for the mainstream (Earth-616 :rolleyes:) Captain America, I believe added that in there as a response to that.

France's history during WW2 is super-complicated, because the government didn't so much surrender as had a minor coup and then joined the Axis. Pre-war France had a lot of internal conflict that surfaced during the German invasion and in the vote, with monarchists, fascists, rexists and other rightists using the upcoming occupation as a chance to right the decadence of the Third Republic and wipe out the anarchists, socialists, communists, and other liberals from French society. Among the French colonies, especially among future breakaway colonies like Algeria and Indochina, it was pretty much a civil war. Just because some of the French capitulated their country and collaborated with the Germans for believing the same ideology as the Nazis while others resisted is kind of unfair to continue the whole "France surrenders" meme and that's what Brubaker was trying to point out.

I mean, we don't talk about how the Italians are "pasta-eating surrender monkeys" who basically did the same thing when Allied forces landed in Anzio, King Emmanuel overthrew Mussolini and Italy joined the Allies.

Yeah. France is a dead hard country a badass motherfuckers. They took WW 1 on the chin like champs (the worst war in mankind's history, on the worst front, and likely some of the worst experiences people have been through except a few Eastern front battles in WW 2) and got betrayed by their own in WW 2, but that didn't stop them from murdering dudes in the streets.

It's so loving bizzare because it's more or less exactly the opposite of why people loved comic book heroes in the first place. I don't know what the gently caress to say about it, other than I assume the editors/producers must be at least as broken as the writers because at some point someone else has to say "yeah that's good lets go with that."

It's really weird because an 18th or 19th century man on the street would probably consider the French to be completely maniacal war mongers. Dudes just went from one campaign to the next and they'd keep that poo poo up for decades.

michael caine felt like he was just there as alfred because he needed to cover his gas bill, much like he's felt in every movie he's appeared in for at least twenty years.

as much as I like the Nolan batman films Michael Caine Alfred is a shuddering English man repeatedly crying, "I don't want to buwwy anovah Wayne!" for 3 films.

Jeremy Irons is really close to cartoon Alfred in how good he is at mocking batman for being batman while still helping him out.

No they didn't. They're just dumping a bucket of tepid try hard humor on the one charter that should actually be the straight man. It's just "Lets mimic Marvel, with out much of an idea of how humor works". It just seems better because of how bad the other recent DC movies have been.
