Qui Gon and Jolee Bindo are both called Gray Jedi. Jolee talks about his viewpoints on that a lot in the first KOTOR.

AnonSpore posted:I kinda find it funny that it's implied human beings as a species find huge purple horn helmets and armored kilts to be incredibly impressive. The other depictions of Galactus there are just as goofy looking to those alien's respective cultures. That one where he's a shimmering ghost thing is hilariously corny to the Minbobulans.

I like Reed's expression of desperation, too. Valerio Schiti is really drat good at conveying emotion. I had a mini rant before about non-Marvel default super hero concept is always Superman/DC-in-general knockoffs, but I like Sun God and the Great Society. They (A) play an awesome role in this story arc and probably won't come up again, and (B) are so explicitly the Justice League it's amazing the Distinguished Competition hasn't had words with their lawyers. To go along with that, they represent an All Star Superman kind of Justice League. Pure, totally noble and helping, exactly the kind I like, but also all the more contrasting against the Illuminati.

I've not understood the purpose of creating a whole new team of Justice League knockoffs if you are just gonna use Doc Spectrum anyway. Could Hickman not just come up with a new GL copy?

SALT CURES HAM posted:Has he ever been a complete irredeemable monster since the Silver Age? I always figured he was kind of like Magneto where he was pure evil for a while, then when writers stepped back and actually looked at his character they decided he was way more interesting as an okay dude. funtax posted:
That's him giving his completely innocent first love over to demons and then wearing her skin for power. Waid was to Doom what Morrison was to Magneto(who made Magneto so bad it had to be retconned into another character pretending to be him).

During Dark Reign, Doom had a fantasy sequence where he killed off the rest of the Cabal, except for Loki(girl form at the time) and Emma Frost, whom were chained Leia-style to his throne. Dude's a jerk and in it for himself, he's just not pure Red Skull evil.

In one issue of Hickman's Avengers, the High Evolutionary called Hyperion "Sun God", so they probably have the same amount of superwatts(stand unit of measuring Supermanness).

In fact, why didn't he just 'port some grenades in there to begin with? Why did he attack a guy who's super power is being durable with flimsy rapiers at all, and if he was going to do that, why not teleport in and then start cutting up?

redbackground posted:I'm not sure why you would in the first place. If it's a parody, it's not a great one, but without any further context, the dramatic, unexaggerated narration and the fact that it was posted in the Badass panels thread gives the idea it's meant to be taken as an awesome moment, but it's just goofy.

It seems like he was semi bluffing from the way he drops to the ground in the last panel, but it's even worse that he was able to willpower through it for even two panels when Galactus would be knocked cold right away.

If the writing is meant for people who discover the hammer, it's almost always going to be head down like that. There's not much of a reason for the words to be there when someone is holding it.

I hope the first couple of issues of the new run really sells this person as being worthy. It'd be nice to have an issue like the one between the Godbomb and Malekith arcs where Thor just does a bunch of altruistic stuff, but spread out over the entire series.

Drakyn posted:To be even more fair to the Vulture, he's basically the Falcon with super strength and no morals. Alternatively, he's a Goblin with better air control, no gadgets, and less crazy. Maybe it's because all my Vulture exposure is from the 80s runs you guys were talking about, but I don't see what makes the guy any less dangerous than a lot of other Spider-Man villains, aside from 'this one looks like an old geezer.' Hawkman syndrome. "Okay, superhero/villain can fly? What else?". Flight alone just isn't impressive and isn't an offensive power. Of course, Hawkman has super strength and that alien mace, and Vulture can (apparently, I know next to nothing about the Vulture) shoot bladed wings and also has super strength.
