It's one of the annoying things about comics that try to be 'plausible.' It's okay to have comics but if you want to tackle real issues then you need to be willing to change your status quo at least a little or else it looks dumb as hell.

they made tony stark totally selfish while he pretends hes doing something for the greater good and reed richards sells everything he makes for a quarter on the dollar and the buyers never produce the stuff he thought up because it would put them out of business Seems pretty lifelike techbro to me

Like Carnage goes from -100 insane badguy to -100 insane goodguy, and Tony goes from 1 to -1.

Okay, I'm gonna need to give a lot of setup if you haven't been following Thor but here goes: *deep breath* The dark elf Malekith (who you may remember as the antagonist of the second Thor movie, but you probably don't because it was the second Thor movie) has captured Thor's parents Odin and Freyja behind a force field designed to only let Thor in. Malekith, in addition to being a powerful magician, has also captured and is wearing the Venom symbiote (and due to a recent retconning, symbiotes are actually weapons designed to kill gods, one of which is the Annihilblade from all the way back on page 1 of this thread) so the odds are very tipped in his favor. It's a death trap. he also grabbed Thor's hammer a few pages earlier. Before you ask, this isn't Mjolnir, so it doesn't have that whole "worthy" problem in the way of someone else just grabbing it.      source is War of the Realms #6 TwoPair fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Jun 29, 2019 |

I thought it was going to go for the classic symbiote sonic weakness + God of Thunder = Reclaiming of the purposeful self. But I guess that works.

I think it's pretty cool that there's enough hooligan power in the UK to keep a statue away. If shitheads here wanted to put up a Reagan statue, I have no doubt they'd do it.

Reagan sucked major rear end but there's not nearly as much hatred for the guy as for Thatcher. She was terrible at hiding how contemptuous she was of the people who's lives she was ruining.

Yeah it's probably hard to explain to someone outside of the UK how much people hate Thatcher. It's not even on the level of someone like Trump, or Bush, who at least had that clown/celebrity buffer which almost makes them fun to hate and makes you forget how loving dangerous they are. People HATE Thatcher. I'm trying to think of a comparison in the US for that level of public hate, and I can only come up with murderers and child molesters. It's nuts.
