A Strange Aeon posted:To be fair, the first two thirds of that movie are really entertaining! Much more than any of his comics. I saw half an hour of it many, many years ago, and I'd love to watch the whole thing - just too lazy or forgetful to hunt it down. I read The Metabarons recently after having read the first chapter (Orthon von Salza) years ago in Heavy Metal. Its like the insanity of a Korean drama filtered through '70's sci-fi and psychedelica, with some heavy-handed sexual allegory (the very phallic Meta-ship, that can be controlled via groin attachment). Like Shigurui, I have trouble judging the irony levels and I'm ultimately not sure if I liked it or not.

I've read a bit more and it's all sort of like that. Something about the tone makes it hard for me to think he was being ironic, but maybe he was. It's so much larger than life and weird, I should probably give it another try now that I'm talking about it.

I highly recommend reading that arc, its very much WTF. The two main points: All the Watchers, the Celestials and a bunch of the Abstract entities rock up to watch the end of the universe like its loving fireworks and, most importantly: the Uatu the Watcher gets nookie.

Gruenwald's Quasar was terrific stuff, and if you haven't read it, you should rectify that as soon as possible.

Cloks posted:I would also like some more information on "what the gently caress was going on with Quasar". I think it might've been E&C on here who described (somebody else discussing it as--?) '70s Marvel as a bunch of writers in their 20s dropping a lot of acid in Greenwich Village, and the work reflects that a lot of the time. Most of the seeds for what we now call "Cosmic Marvel" were laid by guys like Jim Starlin and Steve Englehart during that period. Fast-forward to the late '80s. Mark Gruenwald was a huge continuity maven in his writing work and was well-known for doing deep dives into corners of the Marvel Universe that were obscure even back in the early '90s. His Captain America run is a crazy guided tour through Marvel trivia, like the short arc with an enemy team that consists of maybe 60 female villains. When Greg Capullo came aboard on Quasar, Gruenwald got equivalently out there. There's a trip to the New Universe, appearances by Her and Moondragon, a short arc where Quasar played tourist in a bunch of recent What If AUs, time out for some surprisingly deep discussion of atheist philosophy, etc.

Didn't She-Hulk have a 'nude' issue where she was covering her breasts by jumping rope so fast or something?

They only draw the panels where the rope is hiding the bits, obviously.

Yeah, imagine I posted a long unfunny Scott McCloud essay on how panel divisions are used by comic authors to convey the arbitrary passage of time and that as a unique form of Art comic creators can show specific moments in a panel. But here's the cover!

Thanks for the Quasar info! Looks like a fun read, I've already read a bunch of the classic Starlin stuff so I might just jump into Quasar from the beginning. I also own every New Universe comic because I got them as a lot on eBay so I might torture myself with that first.

A Strange Aeon posted:Didn't She-Hulk have a 'nude' issue where she was covering her breasts by jumping rope so fast or something? It started as an unfunny letter column joke and then they had the "nude" jump rope scene run for four pages of pin-ups or so before She-Hulk is interrupted and it's revealed that she was actually wearing a bikini. I like Byrne's She-Hulk a lot, but that issue was a real sign of it going downhill. Besides the obvious, it was also the point where his corner cutting was really hitting the book.

She-Hulk also has quite possibly the worst name for a letters column in comics history.

Wait isn't a forward pass legal now? Edit apparently I don't know my football. A lateral is different than a forward pass. Kwyndig fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Feb 12, 2022 |

Assuming I still remember my football details... you can toss the ball between players sideways and back as much as you want, but only one forward pass per down (and I think that has to be before the line of scrimmage). I don't know if there's a reason more than "makes for better football".

You could just relay it downfield and theoretically cross the entire field in a couple seconds.

You're right, the defense would need to keep their attention on the whole field all the time instead of a pass or line of scrimmage being a signal that they can focus on the ball. Makes for a very different style of play.
