Speaking of wife beaters i always get a kick out how that is THE Hank Pym defining moment and it’s all because the artist and the writer didn’t communicate properly

I’ve watched it and it was fine for a network television show E: it spun its gears in the first season for a while but when the Winter Soldier tie-in episode came out and it turned out the bland boring white hero character (Ward) was actually a Hydra psycho it got a lot better

It's funny how out of continuity most of the show ended up being, to the point that no one working on the show knew The Snap was happening in Infinity War until they saw it in the theaters.

It's a good show of its kind mostly thanks to some really stellar actors who are better than the material.

Every loving writer in the world wants to be the one that redeems Hank for that so they keep coming back to that moment over and over and over and it is oh so tiring.

I thought this was just a ultimate thing Ultimate cranks this up to 11 so Pym is just straight up a domestic abuser 24/7 and knowingly so.

personally i just never got into comics because i have a dumbass completionist streak and the answer to 'so how do i make sure i'm reading all of the current plotline that's happening and where do i start' is a combination of 'lol' and 'lmao' this is also why i've never seen a mcu movie, to a lesser extent (unless into the spiderverse is retroactively one?)

I’ve bought (for example) the collected Final Crisis only to realise I only know about six characters in it, and its 200 pages of people I don’t know or care about yelling about crap I don’t understand.

I know it's likely not really necessary but there are so many other books, films, shows, games, music, and other miscellaneous forms of media that don't have 70 years of material of wildly variable quality and relevance attached to it. I don't have a problem with comics per se, and I'll occasionally pick up a stand alone graphic novel or series that vaguely falls into the superhero genre (I've read the predictable ones; Sandman, Watchmen, Preacher) but I just can't see myself getting seriously into the shared universes of either Marvel or DC except in film or TV form.

It'd be like if I swore off television because Saturday Night Live is that show where all they do is trick closest gay people into saying "gently caress" on the air live and then they kill themselves. It happened! I mean they didn't trick Charles Rocket. And there was 25 years between him getting fired and committing suicide. And there's no real evidence that he was gay. But still, television man. Not a good thing.

radioactive spider-cum is at least so outrageous that you get some humour out of it, as opposed to what Sins Past did, and that was a canon arc. I mean, if people thought the DC "heroes don't do that" thing with Batman was bad, we can go back almost 20 years with Marvel and the top brass saying "no, Peter can't have premarital sex, let's have Norman rape Gwen and these twins are the result of that instead". What a loving mess

To be fair to the arc, which was bad, the sex was consensual. J. Michael Straczynski intended Peter to be the father but that got shot down by editorial and it was switched to Gwen/Norman seeking solace with each other in their grief. Gwen's dad was recently dead and I forget who Norman lost maybe his wife?

John Murdoch posted:The other common complaint that I hate is that Superman is apparently incredibly boring because he's ultra invincible and "realistically" he should be able to just instantly solve every problem and punch all the bad guys so there's no stakes in any of his stories. Which really just sounds like those people have only been exposed to incredibly lovely Superman stories (or just made them up in their head). i'm glad you mentioned this because that's been one of the more baffling memes i've seen regarding supes. i mean, i watched both Superman: TAS and Justice League/Unlimited, and for somebody supposedly all powerful, he ran into quite a few problems that he couldn't just simply punch his way out of!

Yeah, a shitload of people complaining about Superman seem to have seen exactly zero Superman stories. It's like complaining that Batman is boring because he's the world's greatest detective and solves every problem instantly with no tension.

I think a lot of it is wanting to be perceived as edgy, but there is something incredibly slow-Sunday afternoon about Smallville, the 90s Dean Cain show and the Christoper Reeve films (which I'm sure were great if you were 6 in 1978 or whatever) which will have been a lot of people's formative idea of the character. Like, as a 6 year old, I remember being really weirded out by Burton's Batman because I adored the re-runs on the 60s show. Those impressions stick! Anyway, those people need to be medically prescribed Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman.

Nobody cares, Aquaman is Duncan Idaho now and everyone wants to gently caress him, especially the straight dudes

The 60s batman show actually is the successful critical deconstruction of batman that Nolan and the new movie attempted. It’s campy but clever too—it’s aged incredibly well.

It contrasts batman as a square representative of the establishment against counterculture beatniks in a way that makes the establishment seem silly and insufficient to the task of managing society. That may not be intentional, and I will grant that the beatniks are always the henchpeople of the main villains and not the main villains themselves, who are generally not appealing. Like, the idea of going to a dance club in the 60s and ordering an orange juice makes you seem silly where you’re not in on the joke if you’re surrounded by hip kids who know how to dance.

Aces High posted:radioactive spider-cum is at least so outrageous that you get some humour out of it, as opposed to what Sins Past did, and that was a canon arc. Joe Quesada posted:In my world, there was no way I could go forward with this story as is. For starters, you're talking to a guy that feels that a married Peter Parker isn't the healthiest thing for the franchise since it ages the character. There is no way on planet earth that I could let him to have kids, Marvel almost made that mistake several years ago. And there were further implications of the story that were out of my comfort zone. First, it was the dealing with the repercussions of Peter and Gwen having unprotected or careless sex out of wedlock. Second, it would be dealing with Peter having kids out of wedlock; while, of course, he wasn't aware of having had them, there was always the possibility that the media could spin it that way. But in the end, it was mostly the idea of Peter having kids that I just balked at. But again "Sister Mary Marvel demanded Spider-Man be a virgin so they had Gwen Stacy raped instead" is on some level more outrageous/more darkly humorous so I 'get' it.
