Was Franklin Richards supposed to be the Omega superhero from the get go or was that an idea that came in later?

Yeah I should've used a different term, I just mean when Franklin was created in the 60's if he was intended to be one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe. Was he even supposed to be a mutant or is that all Hickman?

The other clip from that same episode is even better, but I'm also on mobile and can't link. Basically he goes to get gas in his metal car just so he can call the attendant a fool when he reveals it doesnt need gas.

Endless Mike posted:None of that seems significantly worse than Heinlein, really. I don't think Heinlein actually believed anything he wrote, his stuff is all over the place ideologically. Stranger in a Strange Land and Moon is a Harsh Mistress espouse diametrically opposed philosophies.

Idran posted:Nah, he started out as a pretty strong liberal back in the 30s and 40s, but by the 60s he was total anarchist/libertarian; Professor La Paz was essentially a political self-insert by the time "Moon is a Harsh Mistress" was published. He was just all about free love for the entirety of his life too, which is where all the weird sex stuff in his books came from. Hmm too bad. This seems to happen with a lot of sci fi authors.

X-O posted:Like I said something about Fantastic Four brings out the tolerability in Mark Millar. It's almost as if he has some kind of special reverence for the book because he doesn't bring his usual pessimistic immature style to it like he does to other books and instead just kind of writes a decent if not spectacular Fantastic Four book. Speaking of, has anyone read Huck? It's supposed to be Millar at his most optimistic.

I'm reading the first Miller DD run and there's this whole subplot about Matt undermining his girlfriend, who is trying to take a firmer hand in the business she inherited, and basically coercing her into marrying him. Then Miller left the book without resolving it so my question is: WTF. Well the resolution is Foggy gets Black Widow to forge mutual breakup notes, but they never explained why Matt was acting like that. Yes I know about Miller and women, I'm more curious about what the hell is supposed to be happening.

bobkatt013 posted:I thought it happened at the same time as the Elektra saga, so that was messing with his mind. He was also not in the best place mentally, and do not worry about that girlfriend as she kills herself. drat, a poor end for a DD gf? That's unexpected. I feel like, with world actually caring about what happens to female characters now, later seasons of DD are going to get some raised eyebrows.

I'm about to read Born Again I sure hope there's no problematic treatment of women in that! e: another question, in the older comics when someone is listed as "layouts" I assume that's pencils. Embellisher though, is that ink and color or just one or the other? zoux fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Mar 22, 2016 |

Gaz-L posted:Yeah, layouts is basically, I thought, self-explanatory. It's literally laying out how the panels will go on the page and broadly what's going to be depicted in each, like a visual script. Then the penciller/inker/artist will take that and make the finished art. It's pretty much how Miller and Janson ended up working a lot of the time, I believe. I guess I was confused because suddenly Miller went from pencils to layouts, I thought maybe they were just altering the terms or whatever. So embellisher would be "everything else except these rough sketches"?

It's really weird how hard DC gets for secret ID's and there are like two Marvel guys with secret IDs.

Sounds like the person that recommended you God of Thunder is a handsome genius with impeccable taste in comics and probably everything really.

I'd recommend the X-men FI Tie in but it's drawn by Greg Land.

Pretty glad I wasn't reading comics in the 90s as an impressionable teen.

Don't think too hard about the relationship of the Asgardian cosmology to the Marvel reality, imo.
