More french comic panels. I'll translate this one. Not sure if it's badass or touching or what, but I loving love it. The context is that these two guys are Free French Forces soldiers during WW2, fighting with the British in Africa. They get taken prisoner by German U-Boat commander Von Stroheim, who speaks French, and one of the two (the officer) begins to develop a friendship with the German commander. The first page is the Von Stroheim and the officer talking and the second is the one that I think belongs here.   The officer (with the pointy little mustache) is Major, and the enlisted guy is named Maurice. I'm translating the second page. The first one is just there for context. They're talking, as gentlemen do, of family and duty and things that are not war. Maurice: Major? Major, you shouldn't become friendly with that nazi officer. Major: What are you talking about Maurice? Maurice: I'm saying that he's an officer of our enemies, and I think that you're spending too much time with him. Major: You don't know what you're talking about. Our conversations have nothing to do with the war, or with our respective militaries. Maurice: He's an officer for the Nazis, that's all I'm saying. Major: Listen, not all the Germans are Nazis and I'm not betraying my uniform by talking with him. It's a conversation between gentlemen. Maurice: No offense, but gentleman my rear end. He's a loving officer of the third reich, that makes him a Nazi and an enemy. Major: You don't know anything. He's serving his country, he didn't have a choice. Maurice: He didn't have a choice? Me neither, I didn't have a choice. I could have followed Pétain* and his group of collaborators. It's what my country asked of me, right? But instead I took up arms and I'm not the only one! I've met others: French, Spanish, Armenians, Poles, all kinds from the colonies, from the Sahara to the equatorial forests of the Congo! They didn't have a choice either, right Major? They made their choice! They chose to fight the Nazis even when everything seemed lost. Don't talk bullshit, your Von Stroheim, he had a choice, and he chose to wear the Nazi uniform. From Commando Colonial v2, which does not appear to be available in English, but which is available in French on both Comixology and Izneo. *Pétain was a French general who collaborated with the Nazis and who after the war was sentenced to death for treason

Infinitum posted:Yeah I don't know how they made a Ninjas Take Over The City With A Secret Apocalypse plot boring as hell, but they managed it They replaced "the Defenders risk life and limb to get to the bottom of the mystery!" with "Stick exposits the entire plot to them while they stand in a warehouse for three episodes". Easy mistake.

The forums might be gay and/or dead, but I refuse to let this thread perish. After the Earth has died, Galactus shows up to consume the dead planet. Old King Thor isn't cool with this idea and voices his displeasure in the most metal way possible.  Thor: God of Thunder #23

Context - Jango Fett made the Clone Army. One of the clones ran away and started a family. Count Dooku paid Jango Fett to assassinate him, which he does. But not before a "Can you really kill yourself" confrontation. Connor Freeman is the son of the rogue clone. Boba Fett, due to reasons outlined in the comic, feels he owes him one.    The conflict reaches it's conclusion, Boba Fett having killed everyone, which leads to  Star Wars: Blood Ties: Jango and Boba Fett Infinitum fucked around with this message at 10:28 on Aug 28, 2018 |

Is that Hand fight the same one with the elevator scene? That’s maybe my favorite moment from that run.

I think it's very funny - a parody of everything kids are meant to be into becomes this massive phenomenon because kids really are into them.

That doesn't prove anything. That could be any young boy who pushed an old blind man out of the way of a truck carrying radioactive material only to be struck by some of it blinding him. Why that must happen fifty times a day!
