Yeah when Rockslide gets shoved further into the background for whatever new batch of surefire breakout mutants AvX has unleashed it's going to be a tragedy. Side note: If they ever kill him off I'm going to paint myself grey and beat up the writer responsible while explaining they already assigned him immortality due to being a disembodied consciousness controlling whatever rocks are handy.

It's at least got to be a treat to have Kyle using the ring to break the monotony of force field, boxing glove, power blast routine. The ability to make Batman think to himself "that's kinda neat" makes Kyle the most powerful lantern.

Dick Trauma posted:And Thanos as a movie villain? If it's Jim Starlin's Thanos that would be awesome. I have no idea what weird poo poo writers have done to that character after all these years. He's probably a member of the Fantastic Four by now. Thanos is still pretty much Thanos he's more interested in keeping the universe running now because Death pointed out that killing people for her is like giving her a bouquet of spreadsheets.

NorgLyle posted:Yeah I was completely baffled when Iron Man started because both Paltrow and RDJ have done so drat many movies that I just assumed we'd be getting some new Land models. I expected that was the whole point. It's bizarre seeing that same woman he uses for everybody still being used for everybody. Well not to blow your mind or anything but Land is really loving lazy. He's not going to take the time to go through those movies when he's already got a catalogue of pictures he can trace. He's probably got the drat things indexed by scenes he thinks they work in at this point.

It's not rare and it'll never ever come up again except maybe to get hand waved away. Reed Richards has solved world hunger at least twice once never got mentioned again and one where it would have cost half the world's resources to implement but would have been a permanent solution afterwards, the UN told him to gently caress off and only comeback when he had a bomb to sell.

Devi posted:From Journey Into Mystery #647. Sif was tired of Asgard always being beaten so she sought out some teacher to learn the Berserker Incantation to make her crazy angry and strong. She's been acting crazy and angry since learning it. While discussing things, they beat each other up. Heimdall wants to know why his little sister won't just settle down... See I took that exchange differently, it's not "Stop playing with swords little girl" but a snarky dismissal of the idea a warrior's life will ever be secure.

I think marvel even released a month's worth of Marvel's Marvel Comics at one point with stuff like spider-man being a radioactivity mutated human sized spider the x-men being a scam where they arranged the fights to make mutants look better, stuff like that.

Hakkesshu posted:I'm not at all convinced the whole mutant culture narrative would've been the next logical step for X-Men if Quesada hadn't forced M-day. As was said earlier, Morrison barely just laid the foundation for it. Jumbo Carnation appeared in like three pages and we were told he was a big deal, but that's not really a big enough seed that could have determined the future of X-Men as a franchise. I'm sorry, but most of the books that came about as a result of House of M have been way better than the books that came in-between Morrison's X-Men and HoM, so I think "what could've been" is a completely moot point. It was doomed at the start because it's a generally a lovely idea for the universal stand in for any and all minorities to develop a distinct culture. When you define what mutants are culturally you lose the ability to plug them in for whatever minority culture the story needs them to be.

Kaine is all about brooding and thinking himself an inhuman monster who can never be redeemed, but his supporting cast is made up of upbeat and positive people who love him regardless.

bobkatt013 posted:It does for me too since I read them and I read the Legion and that is just par the course. Even trying to make it seem complicated doesn't really make it that complicated for me. You could simplify it as "Natan Summers and Rachel Grey are successful time travelers." Which they are, they go back in time to stop their lovely future and succeed eliminating the lovely future they came from and since they don't Marty McFly after changing the future you don't even get the old paradox of not being around to alter the future because they altered their future.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Even if they could manage to fight in high heels and not fall over or break their ankles within 60 seconds they never take advantage of them. Have you ever had someone in high heels accidentally step on your foot? They're not called stilettos for nothin' I used to have this idea that if you could fly high heels were no big deal, since it's not like you are going to fall. Then I thought about it and any heel kick would probably impale the guy, penetrating chest trauma is not the hallmark of a non-wolverine hero.

And continuity nit-pick Clea and Strange got divorced in the early 90's so she doesn't actually need one.
