Lurdiak posted:Yeah I'm glad to see Jubilee act like Jubilee. I don't know what the hell they were trying for in the Wolverine + Jubilee mini-series but she was intensely dislikeable and out of character there. I think Immonen was going for the drug addict metaphor, with Logan as her sponsor (and she wrote him so clearly as the movie Wolverine), so she was being all bitchy as she dealt with her issues.

Rhyno posted:"A swashbuckling ninja who can't say no to a friend." The fact that Bendis gets the side of Daredevil that Waid's using as well as the Miller noir stuff is why he's the best guy to ever steer that ship. He gets that sometimes... the hero has to smile, to win, and not just a pyrrhic victory.

Colon V posted:Yeah, plenty. And B and C-list characters like that drop like flies regardless of how many hypothetical scouters they explode with their power levels. The only way you can survive in a comic universe is to be popular. It's not that being unpowered hurts their chances, it's that being powered doesn't help. Well, there's about even odds of that or her being part dinosaur, but yes, the main issue is Finesse having the same memory problems as her father. At least her kid has distinct enough mannerisms that she can recognise her eventually. Taskmaster can't do that with Finesse because all of her movements are someone else's. He looks at her and sees Iron Fist or Captain America or Tigra.

Hard as it may be to believe, but Morrison does not have an exclusive on that idea. And I'd say Waid has way more love for the Man of Steel than Grant, so he's entitled to his little moment of precooked shmaltz.

SirDan3k posted:Just because you chump out to the Fantastic Four doesn't mean you are a chump, in fact it pretty much means the opposite. Whenever an FF villain goes up against any other hero you can expect the hero to basically get the holy hell kicked out of them. Reminds me of that Batroc one-shot Kieron Gillen did a while back. Yes, Captain America and the Winter Soldier kick his rear end regularly, but he can actually give Steve or Bucky a fight, which is a hell of a lot more than your average gang thug can do.

Die Laughing posted:It's not that F4 doesn't have heart, it's just very by the numbers, making it hard for people to be excited. FF is a wild pop song, while F4 is a steady waltz. 1-2-3-4. FF is clearly the better book, but I don't think anyone should count out F4. Did you deliberately pick a dance/song style that's in 3/4 time?

W.T. Fits posted:From what I've seen of it so far (which is basically just the scans posted in this thread), is Injustice supposed to be some kind of huge middle finger to everyone who was ever a fan of the Justice League or DC superheroes in general? From what I gather, the game's plot is "Due to Lois and Metropolis getting blowed up, Superman and Wonder Woman become assholes, Batman gets real League from regular continuity to come and kick butt." The tie-in comic is just going a LONG way to get to a pretty stock end-point.

Mr Wind Up Bird posted:They're more like divorced parents which is kind of sweet in it's own way. I mean, Li'l Gotham is a comic book mostly for children and having two parents be divorced is something a lot of children obviously deal with but it's also something that isn't reflected in any media, especially in something they might read or relate to. Because divorce means you're super-old and ancient! Like... 30 or something!

El Gallinero Gros posted:What makes the current Deadpool run work is that it has some whacky stuff but the whacky stuff is funny (usually), and there's plenty of pathos and drama that has been well executed. The joke about 'lol, no-one likes Deadpool being serious' in the video game pissed me off to no end. gently caress you, Daniel Way, YOU don't like that! Every single run where creators struck a balance has been more enjoyable for it. Hell, WAY's stories where he does that are the best of his run- the 'Wade joins the X-Men' arc, for instance.

CharlestheHammer posted:That last line is kind of corny and it also losses some of its impact from the fact logan hasn't really changed all that much so it also doesn't make sense. Well, the key to Schism was that Scott and Logan took paths you'd assume, on the surface, that the other would've done. But then you think a little harder, and their choices are completely in character. Scott's lost almost everything to this fight, and fighting is basically all he's ever been taught to do, since he was a kid. He's lost his wife, multiple times, lost friends, seen his race nearly wiped out and none of the people he was supposed to be building bridges with seem to give a drat. So why wouldn't he lean more towards Magneto's 'gently caress the humans' perspective? Logan on the other hand, has lived through every major conflict in the last century and a half. Has seen the worst humanity has put out there... and seen the progress it's made too. He's found a peace within himself that doesn't deny the beast, but he's stopped letting it define him. And he's become a mentor to several young men and women (OK, mostly young women) who helped him see that he's not just 'the best there is at what he does', but that he can pass on the lessons he learned the hard way about seeing the good in people and working to build the future, not tear it down. Of course he'd become a teacher. And the reason he probably doesn't seem to have changed much is that he didn't become a teacher when he refounded the school. He'd been one for years already.

Psykmoe posted:Luthor is also convinced that Supes considers himself above mere humans and could never conceive of someone great pretending to be a nobody, because he himself never could do that. The end of the Black Ring story in Action Comics was a great example of that. He assumes Superman can't understand human emotions, that the worst pain he could experience is totally alien and inhuman... and then he sees that it's Clark holding Pa Kent's body.

WickedHate posted:Well, that's a silly assumption. If I thought Superman couldn't understand human emotions, I'd think the worst pain he ever felt was the fight with Doomsday or something. I think he does muse if that's the answer as he's using the power. That arc is pretty awesome, by the way, especially in how different each issue is, sometimes even the same issue switching tones. You go from Lex battling Grodd and his giant BRAIN SPOON! To Lex having a near fatal fall and meeting Death of the Endless in about 2 pages and the whole thing shifts.

TwoPair posted:e: For content, here's a conversation that's been a long time coming between Wolverine and Cyclops from Wolverine and the X-Men #40 after they've gotten done destroying a bunch of Sentinels in a SHIELD base. Is Aaron still writing that? It reads like it, and it's why I don't get people who think he's turned Logan into some flawless saint. He's just taking the logical step of him finding peace with himself, and trying to at least make the next generation less lovely than the dozen he's seen before it. To make a really lovely analogy, Logan's now basically Duncan MacLeod from Highlander. Samurai background and all.

Basically, bad Deadpool stories happen when a writer forgets that comedy and tragedy are two sides of the same coin. If all you see are random panels on Tumblr, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking the character is only good for lolmonkeycheese gag stories. But the most effective part of the character, to me, is that despite how silly and hosed-up he is, he still tries, on some level, to do the right thing. It's why moments like him swearing not to let Cable down, or letting that girl die finally during this current run, or not taking Archangel's money during X-Force and condemning them for murdering a child works. Not to mention, you can only have those moments if Wade cares about other people, which is why the addition of the white caption boxes as a 'thing' are symbolic of missing the point. They only exist to give him someone to exposit and quip to, without having to put effort into building a relationship with another character, or indeed, characterise another person who might give a crap about Deadpool. It's shorthand for "stories are hard, but wasn't it funny when Wade said chimmichanga, lol?!"

It's weird that the Injustice comic seems to take the most hamfisted parts of the game (the normal song-and-dance of Harley and the Joker) and pull something genuinely great out of them (having Ollie and Dinah be a big part of her redemption is inspired), and turn the things you'd think had potential into idiocy (Damien 'killing' Nightwing)

Scaramouche posted:Wow that was frankly... two hours of terrible. Who'd they get for Joker? Cheech Marin? IMDB says Richard Epcar. Mostly an anime dude, did voices for Lupin III, Bleach and Legend of Korra. It's really jarring, though. He's clearly trying to imitate Hamill, and unlike Troy Baker, he's failing. It's especially problematic when the Trinity are voiced by the original (well, kinda, in Supes' case) actors.
