If you don't like it, don't read it! If you accidentally read something you did not love unconditionally, try to drink/take sedatives heavily enough to forget you read something you didn't like, or at least for crissake DON'T BE A NEGATIVE NANCY AND GET FEELS AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. If you read something you liked and then stopped liking it, probably just kill yourself. I think our best bet is to probably close all threads other than the funny panels thread, the badass panels thread, the touching panels thread, and maybe also a thread where you show off badass swag. Maybe just set up four group tumblrs instead of a forum, to avoid any sticky problems with overthinking or being full of cares or otherwise devoting too much time or effort to such an obviously childish and stupid senseless piece of poo poo topic. COMICS, EVERYBODY. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Jul 20, 2014 |

fatherboxx posted:I've caught up on this comic and it is absolutely loco. Even an event book written by climax-after-climax mediagenic Mark Millar will dedicate the first eight pages of Civil War to the New Warriors -- not even the moderately popular 1990s New Warriors, but the reality-show guys from a short-lived 2000s mini-series. Lots of c-listers show up and sometimes even play major roles in big shiny event comics. The core cast of Original Sin is almost entirely stalwart Marvel Universe characters and past and future movie properties like Hulk, Captain America, Punisher, Wolverine, Iron Man, Black Widow, Winter Solider, Ant-Man, Gamorra, Doctor Strange, Moon Knight, Black Panther, Nick Fury, etc. The Orb is an oddball pet character and I guess you could argue the same for Midas/Exterminatrix, but this feels like a weird oppositional reading that could be equally applied to the outre cult class art comic Infinite Crisis, which transgressed readers in the loving face by featuring UNCLE SAM AS A MOTHERFUCKING SUPERHERO TEAM LEADER and WILD DOG and THREE SUPERMANS FIGHTING EACH OTHER ON TOP OF A PLANET WHO'S A GREEN LANTERN. The story of Original Sin is that someone got murdered and a bunch of marquee star heroes got upset and want to FIND THE TRUTH and then also some c-list villains are getting a revamp while taking the blame for the killing. I mean, there are odd couple teams that let people go LOL PUNISHER AND DOCTOR STRANGE WHAT IN THE WORLD WHAT IN THE WORLD. Is that all it takes to be Venture Bros wacky Crank 2 High Voltage David Lynch on Burroughs-laced acid now? Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Jul 27, 2014 |

First Bass posted:Your optimism that they might ever make a Moon Knight movie is touching. They keep trying to revamp him and put him in things like Original Sin, so I'm sure someone is looking to bring him into the movie/TV universe.

Okay so how is this like Nextwave? Like Venture Bros.? How have these previous crossovers not begun to psychically shield puny normal's minds from THE PSYCHEDELIC NOOTROPIC ZODIAC MINDFUCK that is a character named the Orb?

fatherboxx posted:The concept behind Nextwave is unearthing of strange and silly in the Marvel history and bringing it in the Marvel comics of today, obsessed with the believability and order. quote:Here we have a comic free of real world analogies (unless you project the Nick Fury retcon odyssey on Garth Ennis' Fury participating in every Cold War adventure), but full of wonderful stuff that has been considered not kosher enough for proper continuity. Of course, the decade of WEF alumni and Morrison fanboys heading Marvel creative dulls the impact, but even Fraction and Hickman, who love to go crazy, blew their chance to have fun when they had their event crossovers. quote:Original Sin reminds me of Venture Bros. because VB loves to resolve the grudges of insecure costumed people in the grouptalk, and most of this comic has been "a dozen of random Marvel characters move and bicker" interspersed with splashes of violence. I should say I *really like* Venture Bros. but going back to your original post, I think if you gave this book to your average "I really like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I read a couple X-Mens as a kid" fan they wouldn't be that confused at all. If you gave this to someone with the premise "If you liked Venture Bros., this is for you!" they would be positively baffled and waiting for the funny part or the twist where Black Panther is a child molester or something.
