TwoPair posted:Apparently Harley Quinn just introduced a knockoff of Deadpool, but there's no way in the world I'm reading it. You could argue that Steel is totally ripping off Iron Man. And Aquaman's been stealing Namor's schtick since the 40s. Namor's just lucky he didn't have an embarrassing cartoon back in the day or every writer would write a story about how "No Namor is cool" Seriously, the only times I can remember people actually making fun of Aquaman are Seanbaby's stuff about Superfriends and one sketch on The State. Was there more or are writers still really up in arms about a couple dumb jokes from the 90s?

I just don't know what writers think they're proving when they write a comic based on things people who hate the character have said. Nobody who thinks Aquaman is dumb is going to pick up an Aquaman comic, idiots.

I largely think it's basically impossible for DC to do so, but DC has tried on and off for decades at this point to have their own S-M, even though the overarching genetics of the company makes it basically impossible.

I believe Chris Sims made the case that they managed it in their own way with Wally West as the Flash, but they've obviously walked that back a couple of times now. I reckon Impulse could have been Ultimate Spider-Man a decade or so early. X-O posted:

BigRed0427 posted:After finally getting all four volumes of the Deluxe edition of The Invisibles, i'm giving it another shot after reading the first few trades during college. God...drat this thing is dense. It's like every major theme Grant Morrison ever had in his works is allowed to run wild here, and I'm not even done with the first volume, only up to 23: Things Fall Apart. If you ever do try to attempt this, go into it like a Thomas Pychon novel, don't try to think about how all these different scenes tie together, just focus on what's happening now. Quoting from way back, I recently re-read all of The Invisibles, and all I can say is you gotta really like Morrison. There isn't really a huge over arching story, there isn't really consistent lovable characters. It is pretty much a lab for Morrison to gently caress around in. You want 10 issues on the nature of time? You want some weird poo poo about reality and how we relate to words? All of the actual plot of any arc can be summed up in a few words, but we get pages of side stories and explanations and sexy sex. In summation I really liked it but I would like Morrison just going on about poo poo he likes just as much

gently caress yeah dudes. Just secured a five day weekend. The GF and her kids are gone until next Thursday or Friday. Just need to make it past the doctors to see if I go to a urologist and the mojitos will flow. God drat I'm excited. I don't know what to do. Go to the bar tonight, binge a show, read something, play through some backlog, or head out to the 4th of July carnival.

Luckily I already watched the manga so i can just enjoy gifs of JoJo on tumblr, but I need to get on the latest episodes of Space Patrol Luluco and Preacher, and I'm a whole season down on Concrete Revolutio. The last show I really managed to follow along with as it was airing was season 2 of Better Call Saul, which was...disappointing, if I'm being honest.

I don't have confidence in you simply because there's been 15 hours of July already and all you're doing is making excuses about something you had a month to prepare for. Unacceptable.
