drrockso20 posted:He was often even worse about it while Spider-Man, it's one of the reasons why his villains hate him so much, and why most of the hero community used to not like him at all either(and many still don't like him for it) Any examples of this? I've not read many of the older things of Spider-Man so I always thought it was mostly because he talks so drat much and people are annoyed by him.

But when he leaves they're not pissed (well, I forget what Grimm's reaction is TBH). They're basically like "oh I wish he hadn't left in a huff before we could talk things through". Ditko Spider-Man was troubled and angry a lot.

The originals look fairly off there, but it's still a pretty good idea and i'm glad they're actually following through with it.

Just saw they're changing up the release schedule for young justice. Dropping three episodes the first week, then single episodes until the last week when they drop another batch for the finale. I'm guessing they're just trying to stretch out the new content for the platform.

No they're trying to avoid everyone signing up for the free week, binge watching the only two or three shows worth the subscription then cancelling en masse.

I like that Beast Boy is getting more focus, the timeskips have been kind to him most of all character wise. Gonna bet it all on Tarra being a red-herring and Helga being the mole, considering all the work they're putting into making Tarra look obviously guilty and the weird poo poo Helga's up to.

I'm more of a Marvel guy and it's been ages since I watched YJ S1 & S2, so I just had no idea who the kids were chasing after "Count Vertigo" in Episode 16, apart from Beast Boy, Static Shock and Kid Flash. Who was the lady firing purple and who is the counsellor kid? I'm enjoying the show, but I'm now finding the cuts between dialogue across scenes and the catchphrases way more jarring this time. Maybe I just got old!

Traci Thirteen is new this season, though she made some cameos this season I think this is her first speaking role. She is Jaime Reyes girlfriend in the comics and daughter of classic DC character Doctor Thirteen. (Pretty much the DC Universe's biggest skeptic.)

Skeptics are weird as hell characters in big two comics. Hal Jordan was a direct emissary of God and he's now back hanging out with Superman and Batman. Reed Richards met God personally and is sometimes still written as if he thinks Stephen Strange is full of poo poo. My favorite was the teacher in Nova who didn't believe in aliens.

It's funny because they also have all that poo poo that's absolutely married to WW2 So 1941-1945 was massively different from our history, then poo poo mostly happens as normal and then 2003ish the F4 take an ill advised trip to space and Peter Parker gets a spider bite. Anybody try and square the circle that is Captain America seeing Nixon shooting himself and fighting a snake Reagan and also not having been revived until also after the the end of the 20th century?

Like most of the problems with the sliding timescale, I'd imagine that you just don't even try to square that circle and never acknowledge a lot of stories ever again. Like, when's the last time the Nixon thing has come up actually in a story and not just as part of a clickbait article about "10 craziest things in Cap history!"?

You just ignore it. Marvel has used almost every sitting president at some point. Spider-Man teamed up with the original SNL cast. I always liked the issue of Avengers where Beast exclaims “I hope I live to see 1976!”

I think the sliding timescale itself never comes up. Comics just always take place in the present because it’s depressing to require Spiderman age into senility because you want to attach a date to the time he teamed up with David Letterman. Comics make no sense.

on the topic of Sliding Timelines, I really dislike the standard model, but there's a variant of it that I've seen a couple fan concepts use that I really like that I call a Reverse Sliding Timeline, I'll let Tony Lewis of The Original Marvel Universe blog sum up the concept in his own words;Tony Lewis posted:First, however, I need to clarify the biggest issue in any such chronological analysis of the Original Marvel Universe: when you start the clock. Time passes at different rates for the characters and the reader. Twelve monthly issues may cover only a few days or weeks in the lives of the characters depicted therein. And so, the thirty-odd years of published stories I’m looking at contain only about half as much time in the lives of the characters. This has been dubbed the Marvel “sliding time scale,” meaning that, as time passes in the real world, the early stories become detached from their historical context and are dragged forward in time. This is because the comics publishers, and most fans, start the clock in the present day and work backwards. (The Fantastic Four formed 12 years ago, they’d say, and would then change the details in the original story to update it to the proper era.) I, on the other hand, would rather anchor the stories at the other end—in 1961—and let it run at its own pace and see what happens when fictional continuity and historical fact collide. So instead we change the details of the later stories to set them in an earlier time. My approach to this was inspired by the cliché of people who were around in November 1963 remembering exactly what they were doing when President Kennedy was shot. I asked myself, how would the various Marvel super-heroes answer that question? it just feels a lot more elegant in execution compared to the standard model, of course it does have some minor issues, part of the reason Tony is able to make it work for his concept is that he includes a cutoff point for what he considers to be canon for his concept(stretching over a period between 1989 and 1993 depending on the book), so one would probably have to do something similar if one wanted to do a similar concept of their own
