I *think* it's written from top to down, so it'd be SZZZZ. Though my first attempt parsed it as ?NNNN.

It really looks like she's waving her hands in the air like she just don't care while there's a mountain off in the background somewhere.

Haha yeah I only just realized she was meant to be climbing it and not doing the "I gotta pee!" dance.

It's probably like calling a human an "ape".

Hugh Jackman was asked why Wolverine never wore his comic book costume in the movies (emphasis mine):

quote:

I always feel a certain contingent of fans who are yearning for it. But the biggest block I've had -- I'm willing to take the heat for it -- is that, I can never get past, being a writer for these movies as well, that Logan is the least narcissistic of all the superheroes, any kind I can think of -- Marvel, DC or anywhere else. What I mean by that is, who puts a special branded outfit on when they do good deeds? And why? The only reason you do it is so you can have some sort of trademarked claim and get credit for what you did. Nothing seems less Wolverine-like than the desire to put on a trademarked outfit , particularly canary yellow, and kind of prance about doing good deeds and have people go, 'Oh my God! It's The Wolverine!' At least the Wolverine, as I see him. That's a real struggle for me, and always has been. I somehow feel that if somehow we ever put Hugh [Jackman] into one of those outfits, people would not be happy. Essentially, it's something that lives on the page and I'm not sure could live anywhere else.

They actually featured the comic book suit in a deleted scene in The Wolverine. Admittedly it was in a briefcase given to him as a gift, and not him wearing it. But it is out there.

I dont mean to be pedantic but it was an alternate ending rather than a deleted scene. Fan wankery if you will. Personally I liked it.

Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!
I remember the very first X-men movie. Wolverine gets an X-men uniform like the ones the others are wearing, leather jacket and stuff, and basically goes "This thing's dumb and stupid" and Cyclops fires back "What would you like instead? Yellow spandex?" or something like that.

I should rewatch the X-men movies to see if they still hold up as well today :allears:

Actually it was director James Mangold saying that, not Jackman. The Wolverine was his movie too, so he probably did consider giving Wolverine a costume.

It's too bad that Newspaper Spider-Man is not too distinct from the main comic book character in appearance, because I really want a Marvel Legends figure of him. Maybe Marvel can make one of Big Gay Logan, Big Time and of course Clown 9. The BAF guy could be Iron Jonah.

To make a Marvel Legends figure of Newspaper Spider-man, you just take a regular Spider-man figure, color it slightly wrong, and add a brick bouncing off his head.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Does Newspaper Spider-Man not have super-strength, or is he too dumb to remember all his super powers and he's just forgotten he can do things other than shoot webs? It's the latter, of course, why am I even asking.
