He's just about the only uber villain I can think of who gets rehabilitated and his conversion to being One Of The Good Guys is cool and makes sense.

Speaking of the subtle things in Top 10 that accounts for so much of its character, I think it's funny that Syn's powers work through puns.

Verrrry close. The woman is Loki's wife Sigyn. She's actually shielding Loki by catching the venom in the bowl. However, when the bowl is full she has to dump the poison off to the side, and in those moments drops from the snake hits Loki's eyes (or eye sockets now) and his thrashing around is what causes earthquakes, but the fact that it takes a while for the bowl to fill up is why earthquakes are rare. Also, Loki is bound in place by his son's intestines.

Which is a long way to say that the Norse had some REALLY hosed up legends.

Ah oops, thanks, yeah I misremembered that because Loki curses at her while all that is going on (because Loki is a huge cock)

Re: the fingernail thing, it's basically a comics version of CRITICAL HIT!! In a way I respect it because it's an attempt to make Hawkeye badass aside from just being a gimmick dude with a gimmick bow, but yes, the modern version does it infinitely better (tbh like almost everything in the Ultimate line that I've ever seen).

Fixed, because here's Batman's dirty little secret: He doesn't fight fair. Sure, he knows between 6 and 100 different fighting styles, both armed and unarmed, but by and large, he's fighting nameless henchmen. Who maybe know how to throw and take the occasional punch. It's like playing an RPG and grinding until you're level 99, but instead of going to the final boss (who's a chump at this point) you decide to stick around the starting area, staring rats to death.

It's a little bit off the topic, but this doesn't really illustrate that Batman is a terrible character, it shows that RPGs are a terrible game genre.

The whole thing is really sad even with the exciting, awesome moments. Stuff like the end to the Slavers arc in particular is brutal and heartbreaking.

All the more reason the people who caused it deserved what they got and more. People who cause suffering is what causes them to require suffering in turn. I see myself as a very dedicated entomologist who wants to keep the insects from hurting each other because I care, and thankfully I also happen to greatly enjoy the process of eliminating the bad ones, for they who enjoy their job never has to work, am I right?

Not that I'm Frank Castle, but that's my views on justified schadenfreude.

Can all this, uh, whatever the gently caress this is, be done somewhere else, like a toilet or a garbage dump, thanks.
