Either those magnetic gloves are drawing the pistols to Jango INCREDIBLY slowly, or Count Dooku (that is Dooku, right?) is talking like Alvin the Chipmunk.

OldTennisCourt posted:The Slavers arc has probably the most hosed up deaths for all the main big bads. The final one in particular is pretty hardcore I can't think of anything more chilling than Frank's final words to that guy (Nicky?). He takes him out into the forest, gutshoots him, and tells him,"You made it personal, but all that bought you was some extra pain before you die."

Heresiarch posted:Also that was essentially another Garth "boy do I fuckin' hate superheroes" Ennis book so Thor was pretty much doomed to failure regardless. It's a while since I read it but I'm pretty sure it ends with Thor collecting a team of people from throughout time who successfully fought or had ancestors who fought the Vikings and then proceeding to just beat the poo poo out of the zombie vikings? Or something about the main bad guy's bloodline being the key to his weakness?

I have no idea what needs to be spoilered here since the movies have been out for awhile now, but figured I'd err on the side of caution. Captain America 2 was so refreshing, especially after Avengers so casually included stuff like mass surveillance and both exposed and celebrated the way Fury manipulated the Avengers to get them to do what he wanted. Having Winter Soldier then come out and acknowledge that actually this poo poo was terrifying and have a literal Nazi tell Captain America,"Yeah, we basically won because everything went our way in the end" had real impact, and resetting the board by having Cap/Widow/Falcon expose SHIELD and take down the helicarriers was great. Very disappointing to hear the show has apparently missed this message.

Savage Sword of Conan was the loving best. I remember they also did a What If...? where Thor gets sent back to the Hyborian Age and meets Conan. After the requisite fight/team-up (Thor's power is greatly reduced) they travel to the mountain where Crom lives and climb it so Thor can ask to be returned to his own time. They climb for what seems like forever until even Conan can't go any further, so Thor continues alone. Crom casts Thor out as an intruder in his domain so he returns to Conan who tells him he was only gone for seconds. They have some more adventures and Thor ends up dying, and the story ends with Conan climbing Crom's mountain again. I forget exactly how the line goes but it was something like,"On that day Conan climbed a mountain no mere mortal could climb.... and on that day Conan of Cimmeria become something more than mortal."
