WickedHate posted:But Batman isn't Batman if he isn't a shell of a human being dedicated 100% of all time to Batmanning??? Only when he's written poorly. Which is most of the time. As Waid so excellently put it in Kingdom Come: "When you scratch everything else away from Batman, you're left with someone who doesn't want to see anybody die." The best Batman is the one who cares more about protecting the innocent than punishing the guilty.

Lurdiak posted:Nah. My best guess is someone told Chuck Austen that Thunderball was actually kinda smart and college educated, unlike the rest of the wrecking crew, so he took that to mean that he was some kind of mega-genius who had memorized every book ever written. Chuck Austen was writing in the 70s? And calling himself Len Wein?

It's possible I was being too sarcastic there. I don't know if Austen wrote the Shakespeare-quoting scene posted earlier, but Thunderball's origin story includes successfully designing a miniature gamma bomb. Dude's up there in the brains department.

WickedHate posted:It wouldn't work. Kryptonite doesn't disintegrate Superman's flesh on contact, he absorbs the radiation. The bullet would bounce off of him and then he'd get mildly sick if he stood around it. Kryptonite definitely pierces superflesh. There have been numerous examples of Superman getting shot and/or stabbed with kryptonite, so there's really no room for ambiguity. Everything from comics to cartoons to one of the worst movies ever made supports the notion of kryptonite weapons being effective against kryptonians.

ImpAtom posted:Okay, look, they are made of a special fabric that, when it comes in contact with Superman's bioelectric field, takes on the properties and durability of Superman himself. Outside of that field they are indistinguishable from regular cloth and since the cape regularly is outside of that field it tears much easier. This, only it wasn't a special fabric, it was just anything tight enough to be within like a millimetre of his skin.

WickedHate posted:JMS made a point of writing Iron Man as The Bad Guy in his Spider-Man run, but he didn't write the main Civil War series which included the Thor clone. Yes, there was a lack of good writing and cohesion across the board, but even if you wiped away all the tie ins, Tony Stark as depicted in Civil War was an rear end in a top hat and it's not on JMS to write a redemption arc for him in his Thor run, nor to have Thor laugh what happened off. Yeah, regardless of inconsistent writing between tie-ins and the general shittiness of Civil War, if there's one person who has every reason to loving hate Tony after CW, it's Thor.

Choco1980 posted:I'm normally not one to gush about "bad rear end" characters' ultra violent fight scenes, but I really do admire that Moon Knight scene posted. It's got an understated efficiency to its panels you just often don't see in those kinds of scenes. Like, every panel shows you exactly as much of the action as you need to see to follow it. It's a small thing, but something a lot of creators misstep in their layouts, and screw with their own pacing. Ellis + Shalvey + Bellaire = drat Good Comics.

HE STOOD ALONE AT GJALLERBRUsite posted:You mean the Hydra assassin guy That argument would hold water if there were more evidence than a grainy photo that kinda-sorta looked like Bucky but didn't even show his whole face. It was pretty explicitly stated that there was no intention of taking Bucky alive or anything else resembling due process. I definitely don't agree that Rhodes was the "nicest" in the pro-reg camp. He certainly wasn't the most reasonable since he never stated any rationale for supporting the accords other than "the government says so." Everyone else had actual reasons; Tony was driven mainly by guilt and a desire for the accountability he couldn't provide on his own, Vision had chaos theory, and Natasha saw it as a way of earning back public trust. Meanwhile Rhodey's only argument for the Accords was a textbook appeal to authority. I wouldn't call that out of character for someone whose identity is based largely on his place in the military, but it's still not sound reasoning. haitfais fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Mar 25, 2017 |

site posted:well yes but cap still went against law enforcement to aid an alleged multiple murderer and actively beat them up which as far as i know are still things against the law? Fixed for accuracy. Bucky was never convicted, tried, or even charged with any murders. As viewers, we know he killed people (while brainwashed and not in control of his own actions,) and Cap and Black Widow know it. There is obviously some documented evidence in the leaked SHIELD files, but it's just as obvious that that evidence shows that Bucky is not responsible for the Winter Soldier's killings since the only verified information (as found by Zemo,) is the dossier presumably titled "How We Brainwashed a War Hero and Forced Him to Kill People." And, again, the evidence for Bucky's involvement in the UN bombing consists of a single grainy photo. That may justify bringing him in for questioning, but it sure as poo poo doesn't justify sending a kill squad. In fact, I'm pretty sure killing a suspect without trial based on flimsy evidence is against the law in most developed countries. It's definitely against the law in the country that Rogers and Rhodes come from. So while Rhodes may argue that Cap is a criminal for his actions (or not, since he never actually makes any arguments in the film,) Cap could argue that he was protecting an innocent man from an unlawful extrajudicial killing. quote:and this is why im okay with rhodes going along with the accords because of course the guy whos so down for his military that he jacks his friends death machine for their use is gonna back his govt in this situation, i didn't see anything out of the ordinary with him doing so. but i also dont really see how that doesnt make him the nicest. tony pretty much started the thing and tried to dictate and hosed everything up and vision actively was complicit in kidnapping (which tony mandated) and totally wrecked poo poo at the airport even though he didnt have to and after paralyzing rhodey he just goes lol told you so....tbh i dont really consider natasha on proreg cuz of how thing played out but if you do yeah i guess i would say she was least bad Inflexible thinking, accusing a colleague of "playing both sides" because he expressed a dissenting opinion, and yes, calling Cap a criminal for preventing the murder of his best friend. He may have understandable reasons for all of those things, but they're still not hallmarks of the "nicest" anything. I would say in terms of relative niceness from the pro-reg camp it goes Romanoff > Stark > Vision > Rhodes.

Shovelmint posted:Went to the library today. First thing in the graphic novel section, the start of Aaron's 2014 run on Thor. Have to grab the rest off Hoopla or something, but I've been inspired. I had no idea that Jason Aaron was doing anything other than Southern Bastards, though I should've known. You are at the beginning of a wonderful journey. First things first: Jason Aaron's run on Thor began in 2012 with God of Thunder. The 2014-onward stuff is perfectly enjoyable without it, but as the title of this very thread will tell you, you'll be missing out hard if you skip God of Thunder. Seriously some of the best comics ever. Be sure to also pick up his runs on Ghost Rider and Wolverine and the X-Men.
