RandomFerret posted:I'm disappointed that they didn't keep that design for the MCU. It was the very first feature-length marvel movie, and it was made by the star wars man! Show some loving respect Yeah, the new design, in movie and comic, just makes him look like a canary. It's too....cutesy. Howard is not to be cutesy. He is supposed to be pissed off, crabby, and constantly on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Before the movie Howard the Duck was that weirdo comic that kept breaking the fourth wall, had LSD-trip style stories and was in fact, very cool and funny. Then the Disney lawsuit made Howard look and act stupid, and the movie killed off that franchise for good. (I know about the recent cameos in the Marvel movies, shame that they went with the post-lawsuit look.)

ultrafilter posted:GRRM is in his early 70s and morbidly obese. Don't get too attached to the idea that he's going to finish the series. Also if he can't hurry up at all during a global pandemic event that is literally the greatest reason ever to just sit at home for months on end and write (seemingly already his job) then I don't expect him to ever finish.

Lol, 100 pages dedicated to getting a character to a place then when they get there they just die and it was all completely inconsequential. Those books got baaaad. Still, that red wedding scene.

Haha, I have that book. The dialogue is rather hilarious and the attempt to translate David Hayter's brooding melodramatic portrayal of Snake to text makes it read more like a fanfic than a novelization. I still enjoyed it but not because of the quality of writing.
