The Question IRL posted:From the pictures I saw the Celestial told Doom it would pass him if he just said "Reed Richards is smarter than me." I mean, if it's judging them by their own ideals and how it lives up to them, that's Doom. He should pass if he tells it to gently caress off.

I'm starting to wonder if the Progenitor is judging people based less on "how well do they live up to their own ideals" and more "how well have they accomplished the goals they set out for themselves" or something - it's that quote from the end of #4, where it's all "You'll always be better tomorrow" that makes me think that's a better angle to take to understand the criteria. Characters like Cap, no matter how much they accomplish, are aspirational, they want to inspire people to be better. Doom, on the other hand, doesn't need to inspire poo poo; he's already a goddamn King, after all. So I'm coming around to the idea that the real criteria is some variant on "Are you awesome now, or could you be awesome later? 'Cause later is too late."

Hm, that's an interesting view of it. Does that mean Shaw failed not because he accepts he is evil even secretly knowing he could change if he tried, but because he will never be as rich as he wants to be or something?

Shaw, I think, falls under the self-loathing codicil If you hear "You're gonna be judged, you can't avoid it" and you know, in your heart of hearts, that your failure is inevitable, the Progenitor goes "welp, you'd know, I guess" and fails you I mean Thor passed the judgment because the Progenitor saw the inscription on his hammer and went "well that guy must be worthy or he couldn't lift the thing, right?" so let's not close off the possibility that the one-day-old jury-rigged spacegod who calls Tony Stark 'Dad' isn't exactly using the deepest and most thoughtful criteria

Didn’t it accept Cyclops’s argument that the only person who could judge him was his wife? I don’t think that particular argument holds up

The secret to his swole is that every time you gently caress up a crafting rotation, he does one push-up.

Bringing this back just to say Do A Powerbomb is a great series for anyone who cares about badass panels. I do not know/care about wrestling at all, but this comic is definitely my thing. E: Explaining this page gives a great feel for the comic. Lona, the lady with the Mohawk, is wrestling and beating an orangutan from another planet. The announcer with the spike hair is Necroton, a necromancer. Great comic, very fun StumblyWumbly fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Sep 25, 2022 |

There's potential for an AI generated issue of Doom Patrol or maybe an unhinged Judge Dredd. Actually, isn't there a Dredd where he gets sucked into a surrealist painting?

That said, an AI generated DP would probably be indistinguishable from a Grant Morrison-written issue, that one issue where he lampooned the Mighty Marvel writing style sure came close. It's also fun to look at Greg Land art and guess which porn actress he traced for a particular panel..

Goa Tse-tung posted:Wintersoldier leans back, colors the whole scene differently That and because the angle between the two of them is wider than what it is in Jojo (I feel). In the former, because of this angle, and the distance, it almost makes it look like Bucky is trying to circle to Cap's right. In the latter, Jotaro looks like he's advancing in a slouched manner.

To my eye, Steve's look reads "tired of this bullshit", where Bucky's eyes seem to show hesitation or even a little fear. Then in the next panel, he's leaning back, like he's weighing his options.
