If that is what I have done then I apologise. The tedious "why aren't more people psyched about bad people being tortured to death" gimmick (et al.) evidently led me to draw the wrong conclusions.

TwoPair posted:The one that always sticks in my memory/nightmares is the reporter who built a phasing machine to pass through walls and spy on people but ended up stuck intangible phasing down to the center of the earth. The one that always stuck out to me wasn't a guy dying - it was in the episode where he fights this teenagers who've been augmented with cybernetics by a prosthetics specialist; one of them has chainsaws in his wrists and knees, and when Terry works out the code word that deactivates their enhancements, the guy's arms and legs just... fall apart.

I also remember the one where Bane has become a decrepit Venom-addicted invalid hooked up to a respirator whose minder is using his blood (?) to turn Venom into a performance-enhancing street drug, then dies (?) when he accidentally overdoses in a fight with Batman. Did any of the show's artists or animators ever produce any concept art of what Curare's face was meant to look like?

Die Laughing posted:That fight is a good example of why Marv Wolfman was always writing Wally West out of Teen Titans. If I recall the back matter from the IC hardcover correctly, Meltzer's idea was that Slade was meant to be using their powers against them (which doesn't exactly explain how Black Canary is incapacitated when he puts a bag over her head and handcuffs her) and he made a point of remarking about how he's beaten when everyone dogpiles him without using their powers. I think this was the start of that whole "Deathstroke is a top-tier bad guy!" thing DC was pushing in the mid-2000s.

I think that's not actually Thunderball - I think it's Mordred (Morgan le Fay's son) disguised as Thunderball. Something like that, anyway. It was hard to tell because the resolution of that plot was pretty rushed - Austen took up too much space on the subplot with Hawkeye shagging the Wasp and Hank Pym throwing up when he walks in on them.

Sure, have you not heard the story about the genesis of Identity Crisis being an editor at DC (I've heard it was actually a female editor, but I don't know for a fact) saying, "We need a rape!"? Likewise, the story about the pages in question arriving at the office and another editor cheerfully announcing, "The rape pages are in!"

Travis343 posted:DC comics : it's about arm reduction I wonder what DC's dismemberment ground zero is? I want to say it's that issue of Hawkman by Geoff Johns where Matter Master has this big villain speech where he boasts about how Hawkman is no match for him and he's in for the fight of his life, then Hawkman hacks off his arm with an axe and grunts, "Fight's over," to the onlookers as he leaves.

Dario the Wop posted:To be fair, that was part of a story arc where Hawkman was isolating himself, becoming too extreme in his methods, and ends up getting kicked out of the JSA. Cutting off Matter Master's arm was a big deal at the time, the JSA were horrified. I know, but I'm just wondering if that's the moment Geoff Johns wrote, "Hawkman throws his axe and cuts off Matter Master's arm," then thought, "That was awesome! I've got to do that again!"

Die Laughing posted:Geoff Johns just isn't sensitive to that kind of violence. Rucka asked him about it during 52, and Johns just said he grew up on Mortal Kombat and didn't see the problem. It doesn't bother me either. He puts too much heart into his writing to accuse him of making gore porn. Well, I don't object to comics with violence but I guess with Johns it can sometimes (not always, certainly) come off as a bit try-hard ("Look at how grown-up these comics are!") in my view. Still, I suppose there's not really any harm in that.  Not quite as bad as Robert Kirkman doing Invincible, of course (though there it's often so over-the-top and ridiculously violent that it loops round and becomes absurd).

Wanderer posted:Reread the comic and count the times where somebody could've taken out Thanos or removed the gauntlet from him were it not for Warlock's "plan." The most notable one is where Wolverine jumps at Thanos and stabs him in the chest, rather than taking Thanos's arm off at the elbow, and Quasar spends the whole fight just floating there like a moron. There is one bit where Thor has Thanos basically at his mercy, but can't finish him off because Doom gets in the way and tries to take the Gauntlet for himself.

mind the walrus posted:Has the Spectre ever dealt with the Joker? Only one that occurs to me is a J.M. DeMatteis fill-in issue of JLA just before the last Morrison story arc, which I think took place pretty soon after Hal Jordan became the Spectre. It has a bit where Martian Manhunter takes the Spectre and the JLA into the Joker's head, where they find this friendly couple who welcome them and invite them to make themselves at home, to prove that there's something to redeem even in the most twisted human mind of all.

Yeah, Sean Phillips was the artist on that. The writer was Dan Jolley. I believe that was the original concept of Star Wars Tales - they'd get well-known comic writers and artists in to create any story they wanted because the Tales series was ostensibly non-canon. The first issue had a story written by Peter David called "Skippy the Jedi Droid" which has become pretty infamous in the interceding 20-ish years.
