My favorite bit of characterization from the classic G.I. Joe comics was that Roadblock, the heavy machine gunner, was an aspiring gourmet chef who joined the Army to earn tuition to prestigious culinary schools in France. So when he's not doing this... He can be found doing this... Or this...

Lurdiak posted:I kinda love the star trek animated series, if only because being animated allowed them to introduce really goofy alien crewmen and villains that live action on a shoestring budget could never allow. That's something that Peter David's run was very good at as well (That's where the Sulu/M'ress page with the sonnet comes from), right up until Paramount stepped in and said "Quit making other characters interesting. You have to focus on the film crew only!" and all the neat characters he'd been developing quietly disappeared.

bunnyofdoom posted:My favourite is the clearly hastily rewritten rejected Batman spec scripts which lead to Rippy and Crashman, (Why they're that name, I dunno, but gently caress it who cares) Man, this is dredging up long-forgotten memories... I think the story is that their characters of Rippy and Crashman had public lives as stuntmen. This would've been back when Evel Knievel was big, and people were trying to cash in on that (Johnny Blaze, Fall Guy, etc.)

Look, much as I'd love to, I can't just hog the whole thread for G.I. Joe posting. I'll direct those of you with archives to my original Joe comic retrospectives located here and here, and those of you without archives to purchase archives. Hopefully one of these days I can get my poo poo together and continue the series.

CzarChasm posted:Actually, that's an angle I don't know if COBRA has tried yet - Get themselves declared a sovereign nation and then try and tempt away American citizens with promises of free guns and ammo, no EPA, no FDA, no DEA, no speed limits, no foreigners, and everyone speaks English. Isn't that lovely? And all we ask is that you swear allegiance to COBRA and fight and die for these freedoms. Must... get home... so I... can post panels... This last hour of work is going to drag.

Sentinel Red posted:My absolute fav moment from a largely wonderful first 100 issues is the story where Cobra trick the US government into detonating a megaton's worth of explosive in the Gulf of Mexico to destroy a sham bunker on the sea bed, resulting in an earthquake that drags a big chunk of land up above sea level. Cobra immediately stake a claim on it and send in a squad of lawyers to the UN for official recognition as a sovereign state, which is granted. It ends with CC gleefully remarking that if you have enough money and buy the best lawyers, you can do anything you want while the Joes dejectedly slink off with their tails between their legs. OK, OK, one more post, but only because I was just working on my writeup for that issue...

A Strange Aeon posted:How long was Rogue a villain for? My main touchpoint with her is the 90's X-Men cartoon, so even though I know she was bad and stole Ms. Marvel's powers, I never really 'knew' her as a villain. Only a year or so. Absorbing Carol's memories started driving her crazy, so she sought out Xavier for help not long after.
