Madkal posted:Curious what Captain America storyline this was. The first issue, where he punched out Hitler. It was pre-America's entry to WWII, and some Nazi sympathizers really didn't like the whole "Hitler gets punched in the face by a guy in red, white, and blue".

Cabbit posted:Every now and then somebody remembers that Iceman is, on paper, one of the scariest motherfuckers on the planet and I love it every time. He's theoretically like a thermodynamic version of Magneto but that only gets explored rarely. Has he had any good what-ifs where they just go nuts with his powers?

OnimaruXLR posted:I dunno, it's probably just a matter of personal taste, but "bad guys won" AUs are a dime a dozen and much prefer stuff like the cyberpunk nightmare of AOA or any number of Dooms "I won but I'm bored now" setups than the Mad Max pastiche stuff in the Old Man Logan setting, and that's before you get into inbred Hulks hillbillies AoA is my favorite comics alternate universe. Yeah, it was kind of grimdark but the alternate paths the characters took were all interesting and none of them felt really out of place for them. I should go back and reread all that.

Lurdiak posted:Didn't they ruin that universe by trying to bring it back and killing like 3/4 of the cast and depowering the others. Probably. I learned to never read sequels to AU stuff a long time ago. And yeah, AOA= age of apocalypse.

TwoPair posted:That's fair, but the one rebuttal I'd offer is that a whole bunch of other dystopias are dominated/ruled by one big villain, like Apocalypse. OML has no central villain; in the original story it's Red Skull but it's made clear that the world has been carved up into new countries/states by the bad guys and even within those areas a lot of minor villains have their own little fiefdoms. But to each their own, AOA is very cool. AOA had that too if I’m remembering right. Didn’t each of the four horsemen have their own districts that they basically ran as they pleased, even if they ultimately answered to apocalypse?

CzarChasm posted:Just looked it up and all of those horsemen helped A-pok rule North America. I mean, presumably they split it into quadrants. I could have sworn there was a mention somewhere in there of Holocaust running the northeastern part of North America.

Angry Salami posted:One of the things I appreciated about AoA was that it was dystopian, but it wasn't completely doomed. Magneto's X-Men were winning small victories here and there, there were mentions that they'd taken down previous Horsemen, the human resistance in Europe was keeping Apocalypse at bay. It felt like a universe where things were going badly, but there was still some hope, and that made it have more impact. Stuff like Old Man Logan is a lot harder to take seriously because it's just 'everything that could go wrong does go wrong' and it feels cartoonishly over-the-top. I also appreciated that a bunch of the villainous characters would find some of the more insane parts of Apocalypse’s rule and be like “fuuuuuck that, I’m out”. Even if they didn’t bail, having them be super uncomfortable with it made it feel less over the top than OML did.

Endless Mike posted:I'll accept that Rhino can run at the speed of a rhino, which maxes out around 31 mph. You don’t need to exert force to completely stop him, he’s torquing him at the neck to topple him over. Then he’ll skid to a stop. If you clothesline someone that’s running you aren’t slapping them with an equal and opposite force.

Is there actually a page of a random paramedic casually handing Mjolnir over to Thor or is that a myth?

Red Bones posted:Kitty can speak fluent Russian because (iirc) Xavier instantaneously psychics the language into her brain when young, pre-demon-abduction Illyana is living at the mansion. He does it so that Kitty can look after Illyana, because she's just a little kid who can only speak Russian at the time. Wouldn’t it make more sense to psychic English into Illyana’s brain so she can talk to everyone there?

It’s just a prelude to the next DC/Marvel Amalgam thing, it’ll turn out they’ve all been taking lessons from Wolverine on being everywhere, every single goddamn place, at once.

John Dyne posted:"You want someone who can beat Captain America? That man does not exist. Except for that sniper in Civil War. And Iron Man. And Wolverine. Taskmaster? Has Taskmaster beat him before? Didn’t he just say “gently caress it” against Iron Man, in one of the most bullshit endings to a comics event ever? Assuming you’re talking about Civil War, at least.
