Oh good, that'll fix the legions of kids/morons who hate Superman because he's "too powerful" and like Batman because he's "realistic." Should have just called it the "kick Superman in the dick simulator 3000" and punched out for the week.

Yeah, if you want you can watch the cutscenes of Injustice in one big 2 hour block on Youtube and it plays like an average direct-to-DVD DC movie, about on par with Earth-2 or Doom (that is to say a decent, if not pallid, echo of JL/JLU masked up as a "tribute" to fans of it). That said it does have the narrative wisdom to skip over all the table-setting to make the evil dystopian world a shithole and just drops the heroes into the middle of it. The comic on the other hand, has shown me nothing but garbage.

Lurdiak posted:The comic's not great but anyone trying to say the game's story is better is just... that's like saying Super Friends had better writing than JLU. Again, compared to the average writing of a direct-to-DVD DCU movie--especially those with similar ideas like DOOM or Earth-2--it's actually about on par. It helps a lot that the VAs are either solid stalwarts of JL/JLU voice-acting or talented VAs in general.

This may have been posted already but I really don't care and honestly it could be posted on every page and I don't think it'd ever get old. From Saga #14. You only need to absolutely know one thing-- the Lying Cat is some freaky alien cat with a supernatural sense of the truth, and always says "LYING!" when it hears someone lie:  The girl was also rescued from a bordello which helps inform the context of the page but I honestly think the dialogue makes it clear. Even if you didn't know she was a child prostitute it's clear she was a victim of sexual abuse. I actually have a close relative that this reminds me of, and it really makes me wish I could share this with her without having to provide that context.

ManiacClown posted:I'd like to see an X-Men funeral where the turnaround time is so fast the character actually walks in during the eulogy and is then invited to step up and say a few words. At this point, the death and resurrection process should be an upper-level lab class. Would pay for a collector's edition cover of an issue like this. ManiacClown posted:From Incredible Hercules #129: (temporary link because for some reason the IMG and TIMG tags aren't working) I felt so bad for Janet when she's shown playing the slots-- her costume looks SO uncomfortable. The Question IRL posted:I actually envisioned a scene like that a few years ago. Only in my version it was the JSA and the dead person was Hawkman. It would have Hawkman deliver a string eulogy at his own funeral and make a vow to be as good a hero as Hawkman was. Also a great riff on the concept.

Do you not remember how utterly reviled Disassembled and its fall out were back in the day, by certain aspects of the fandom? To this day there are groups of people who swear that Bendis' Avengers plans at Marvel were worse than the last 10 years of DC and OMD combined.

I "get" why Lichtentstein's poo poo was considered kosher, but it was also mean-spirited and snobby and even if there's nothing "wrong" with it (and even if we'd all do the same in his shoes) it's still really lovely to ride that to the bank.

That's probably true but don't pretend the series isn't leveraging the fact that nerds recognize these characters from having grown up with them the past 30 years and thus ascribe a deeper pathos and understanding of them based on all the lore surrounding their many incarnations.

So as someone who has not paid attention to the clusterfuck that is the Transformers multiverse since 2001 and isn't about to go into a wiki now, why is Megatron a separate character in this series from Galvatron if most of the major players and designs seem lifted from G1 Season 3? I mean yeah like Ratchet is still alive so that needs to be explained too, but that's more of a generic revolving door of death comics problem and I'm more interested to hear the hows and whys of Galvatron/Megatron in this version.

Acne Rain posted:This getting off topic and more things for the tramsformers thread. Still Idw-verse uses g1 designs but was very divergent with its plots from the get-go and that's just how it rolled. K quote:Ratchet never died. Idw is not in continuity with whatever you're thinking of where ratchet died. I'm reasonably sure Ratchet died in the 86 Movie, which is what I was referring to, but yeah I got that the book was its own continuity. I was big into Transformers when I was 12 and know it's a huge multiverse of various incarnations telling similar or the same general concept with similar casts but vastly different styles and histories. Knowing that it's really not out of line to ask what the major differences are between this version and others. quote:It has nothing to do with the marvel comics or eighties cartoons which are far worse than you remember them being. I know they sucked but they're also the baseline for the entire US Transformers multiverse you condescending cockbag.

muscles like this? posted:Say what you will about JMS being a lovely writer but he wrote the hell out of the issue where Aunt May finds out Peter is Spider-Man. Seriously he married some of the better aspects of Ultimate May with 616's long-term characterization and managed to make her respectable, strong, and even modern in her way without losing sight of her prior characterization. By contrast that stupid Chameleon page features an Aunt May who stepped right out of the 1950s.

GrandpaPants posted:It's probably not the rarest plot development, but the moment really reminded me of Miracleman. Well yeah it's basically a copy/paste job of that scene with less dialogue and a slightly different context. If Timm wasn't deliberately evoking that moment then he's basically ripping it straight off. I'm really not loving what I'm seeing of Gods and Monsters at all, but Bruce Timm built more than enough cachet with the DCAU to do whatever the gently caress he wants right now.

2 pages does not an 11 year-trend reverse. You could also point out some absurdly dark bullshit at Marvel even if their overall trend has been to get more in lock-step with the Mouse and family-friendly stuff.

It's a valid point. One of my favorite parts of Alan Moore's Majestic story "The Big Chill" involves the fact that Manny Weiss--the Wandering Jew--and Majestic a.k.a "totally not Superman" both came from Earth despite being one of the last seven living things in the entire universe:
