ManiacClown posted:It was a low point in the entire Ultimates universe and probably Marvel's entire history generally. At least it gave me and Gavok some good comedy fodder, but it was still garbage. Ultimatum honestly feels like it came out of nowhere too. It doesn't track logically from anything set from any of the Ultimate books and just was so out of loving nowhere, I am surprised Marvel didn't just say this book never happened/was all a dream.

Crowetron posted:If Bruce can't predict that the answer to "where is the Flash while he's fighting me" is always "up in my poo poo, infinity punching me", he's not really the World's Greatest Detective, is he? I'm surprised the Batman fanboys aren't trying to say that Batman let Barry think he could punch him because Batman is prepared for everything. On the other hand, I want a decade of super heroes dunking on Batman because I'm sick of Batman always wins.

Lurdiak posted:The idea of Batman being out all night every single night is a very modern one, they used to play it more realistic. I kinda like the idea that Matt Murdock did for a bit and have Spider-Man and Iron First wear your costume while you have an alibi to throw people off. I assume they do that occasionally in universe just throw people off.

Imagine trying to draw a family tree in a comic book universe. Dashes, knots, broken lines...

ImpAtom posted:Yeah that is honestly why I wouldn't actually want immortality. Even assuming your rear end didn't end up on a blasted ruin of a planet alone for eternity there is going to come a point where you are left floating, forever, in a completely empty void with no way to possibly escape. After Hours did a whole thing on this even limiting yourself to earth means that eventually you end up at a bottom of a mine shaft for all eternity (or under a pile of rubble) because as time goes on the chances of something awful happening where you are shot up to 100%.

plainswalker75 posted:Having like half the X-men drown off panel was certainly a choice as well Was that Ultimatum and the wave that kills half of New York City? Cause if so, yah that was dumb. They killed off DareDevil and Doctor Strange after some pretty interesting tweaks of the characters for the Ultimate Universe.

usenet celeb 1992 posted:Luthor really does embody the projection ("obviously he's just virtue signalling because he harbors darker motives just like the rest of us"), zero-sum thinking ("his very existence diminishes me"), and grievance culture ("he's getting in the way of my greatness") of the modern right wing. Agreed, I think writers sometimes look too for the WELL ACTUALLY THE GOOD IS ACTUALLY BAD BECAUSE thing because the powerful people around us, even if they do something good, feels like there is an ulterior motive behind it. Didn't Spider-Man also callout Green Goblin for the same thing when Norman said Peter wasted his talents and is lazy? Peter points out that GG/Norman could of solved cancer by now.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Yeah basically. It works against him too, he tried copying that one guy who dodges via literal cartoon physics once and broke his own back because he is himself not a cartoon. I forget but didn't get a bit obsessed with beating Spider-Man for awhile and thinks he understands Spider-Man's fighting style but gets chumped because Spidey's fighting style is semi-random due to his spider sense.
