Best part of Valerian is the first 5min, after that it's a fairly forgettable bit of sci-fi with some fun bits here and there.

It wanted to be The Fifth Element 2.0 rather than its own thing

II didn’t bother with the film because I can’t abide Dane Dehane, he unfortunately is cursed with one of the most punchable faces on Earth.

For this reason he's actually fantastic as Harry Osborn/Goblin.

The better reason to avoid the movie is that the director is a massive sex pest, but I guess having hang-ups over a guy's looks works too.

The next movie by said sex pest, as far as I know, features fashion models that are secretly assassins.

The composition here makes them look like they have right hands that are fifty percent larger than their left hands, with equally comically sized guns.

Also, goddamn there’s a lot of Punisher from the nineties. The last ten pages have to be one third Punisher by volume

The guy on the right is Mickey Fondozzi, a recurring mob mook who serves as a handy tool for Frank. He was the guy who kept asking Nomad which superhero he was, in the ride with pouty Daredevil in the passenger seat.



Logan doesn't, so Frank pulls a Dio.

Oh, this is the issue that lead to the horrible counter-"humiliation" in Frank Tieri's Wolverine. Basically, Tieri's favorite character Wolvie was made to look like a fool by Frank, so Tieri had him turn the tables in the most mature way possible.



You see, Frank Castle enjoying gay porn is funnier and more humiliating than getting stuck under a steamroller!

I'd ask why Cyclops has a bunch of puppies floating around his head and why Havok is dressed like Jon-Mikl Thor, but the prolonged piss ... thing on the previous page has me nervous.

Cyclops's ex-wife and Havok's ex-love interest Madeline Pryor (clone of Jean Grey, mother of Cable, occasional demonic sorceress) is back and has kidnapped and immobilized them both. Havok is dressed up in her old stripperific costume because it amuses her, and Cyclops is surrounded by puppies so he can't do eye-blasts.

EDIT: Correction:
It's actually Havok's costume from when he was Madeline's consort briefly during the original Inferno, when she was turning the Earth into a demonic hellscape.

The puppies are obviously a Saw-style trap, if he opens his eyes he's gonna blast a puppy. Which just strikes me as the perfect balance of comic book... stakes, idiocy, levity, drama, some combination of those words and probably a few more besides.
