The death of Harry Osborn tore me to my soul. I didn't read it until years later, shortly after I'd lost a very dear friend to a massive overdose and I was hiding in my closet reading comics so I didn't have to deal with his death.

Yeah, still hurts to read that book.

Yeah I know about that stuff, it's just that I love 616, and it irritates me that in the majority of stuff set there in the last decade plus the heroes just tend to come off as either not heroic at all or just plain incompetent if not both at the same time with only the occasional exception

Also Incursion pisses me off because it's ruining multiple characters I love(The Illuminati or at least it's members), and now I can't consider the 616 versions of them heroes anymore after what they did to Earth-4290001, they are now pretty much full blown villains in spite of whatever they do in the future, considering they were complicit in the death of an entire inhabited alternate Earth

From that distance, though, it would've taken like 4-6 hours for the sound to travel from the Southeast Asian Sea to the east coast of the US. Even if they hadn't moved an inch from that spot in that time and Superman found them immediately, Connor still would have bled out.

Also Santa Claus isn't real, Darth Vader is Luke's father and your puppy is dead, not playing on a happy farm like your parents told you.

That's not how Superman's hearing powers work. His hearing is accelerated.

At a convention years ago someone at a panel asked Mark Waid about the science behind Superman's hearing powers and brought up things like the above example and Waid said "he has accelerated hearing" and that was it.

I'm reminded of the scene from Waid's Irredeemable, where young Plutonian is sitting in school, and his super-hearing picks up the sound of his foster mother about to commit suicide three miles away. And he rushes out at super-speed, faster than a speeding bullet...

and discovers that even though he moves faster than a bullet does, the sound had to travel three miles before he could hear it.

I feel like Mark Waid owes me an apology.

The Purge 2 counters that by having government agents participate in the purge because not enough regular people were and hinting that it's always been that way.

I only know because I watched the purge 2 after being told it was a good Punisher movie.

It made me want Frank Grillo to be the next Punisher, that's for sure.

Straczynski did it better in Rising Stars before either of them, and I'd wager that was what Waid had read.

Ultimate Jameson is a great character, and represents a side of classic Jameson a lot of modern writers seem to have forgotten.

Ironically, Bendis wrote an absolutely dreadful Jameson in his New Avengers run. He had the man go back on a handshake.

Bendis explained this as Jonah figured that since Spider-man hid behind his mask, the handshake meant nothing.

When you consider that mot of those thousands of years were most likely spent in Asgard it stops being so improbable.

Yeah, Young Thor was a real shitheel and the comic really makes a point of how Thor looks at his days on Earth when he was Avenging poo poo as the best of his life. So it makes sense that he'd name poo poo after the mortals he hung with then.

I fully expect him to name a crappy place after Tony. Like, he remembers him and respects him but still can't forget all the poo poo he did so he gets a crappy place named after him. Like whatever used to be New Jersey is now Tony Starksey.

Yeah I love that it shows that Vader is still incredibly powerful in The Force, but since he rarely needs to use it he doesn't come off as all flashy like a lot of Force users are, so when Vader does cut loose it becomes truly terrifying

I will always hate the prequels for changing how we saw Jedis move and fight. Mostly Im angry that Lucas saw the second Matrix film and decided that was how he wanted his fight scenes to look.

Vader, slowly walking towards you and huge chunks of the hallway start tearing loose and flight right up in your face, that's how the force should look.

I don't totally hate the acrobatic fights, In the hands of a better filmmaker I think they'd be really fuckin' cool, but making every Jedi and Sith (Yoda & Palpatine especially) flippy bastards was absolutely the wrong move.

I think maybe one flippy Jedi would have worked. But the stupid posturing they all did right before the final battle of Ep 2 just reeks of Neo and his KUNG FU.

I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that Vader's various cybernetic implants that help keep him alive and mobile (his respirator and limbs, mostly) also greatly cut down on his ability to use the Force.

So when you see scenes like this, it really serves to underscore just how insanely strong in the Force he is, even with his handicap.

I've read that as well, it's one of the few EU things that i actually like.
