Lurdiak posted:What happened to those robot tentacle things that guard the mansion? This is a gross violation of continuity! After the seventeenth time they had to hose parts of Deadpool off of the tentacle-arms, Captain America gave in and gave Deadpool visitation privileges to the Mansion so as to preserve the mental health of the groundskeeping crew.

Lurdiak posted:Wasn't that book drawn by Land? I wouldn't use the word great. Honestly, the way those tie-ins were constructed - as largely a series of interconnected set-pieces - played to Land's... I hesitate to use the word "strengths" in connection with Greg Land, but there it is.

Say Nothing posted:Wait.. how did Rocky blow himself up like that? That's what he does. Rockslide doesn't actually have a physical body anymore; he forms one out of stone. If he feels like it, he can make the stones explode and go all shrapnel-y. Interestingly, he forms his body from local stone, so if he detonates and reforms in someplace where the stones have unusual properties, he gains said properties, as he did when he and a bunch of the students were trapped in Limbo; being formed of Limbo-stone, he became immune to magic for a bit.

Maybe I missed it while I was skimming the first year of WatX looking for it. One of you deviants has to have it saved, right? First result of a Google Image Search for "Marvel Rockslide Doesn't Have Junk":

Rhyno posted:I know that! I just thought he was the one to go ahead and make it a thing! As I understand it, the consensus was pretty clear that Polaris thought she was Magneto's daughter once and then realized she was wrong and then everyone accepted "no, she's not" for decades until Austen said "Yeah, sure she is."

Death appears the way a person expects them to appear. Deadpool expects Death to have a sweet rack. Deadpool expects everyone to have a sweet rack.

I'd like to point out that that DOOM mini was the one where he went through a series of shenanigans in order to get... a wish. A wish that would give him the power to erase his greatest enemy from existence. Not Reed Richards. Doom uses his one wish to eliminate his ability to feel guilt, thus eliminating his sole weakness. This was an all-ages, Marvel Adventures-style book! It was amazing!

Pacra posted:Anyway. Here's Cap being a gym dick to the D-Man! (Should be from Avengers Vol. 3) Nope! It's from Captain America v1 #402. For context, D-Man has just (like, the issue before... I think, but the timeline is convoluted because a ton of books were derailed by Operation:Galactic Storm) been pulled out of the Arctic Ocean, where he was frozen in suspended animation for a while just like Cap back in the day, and was in shock; he was compliant, able to understand what he was told, but entirely non-responsive. Cap was actually trying to get some kind of response out of him and jar him back to some semblance of sanity. Steve Rogers is not being a gym dick to D-Man! He's trying to help! D-Man is his friend! And also my friend, and cool and good.

He was also, IIRC, preternaturally tough; there was something about him being a seven foot tall dude compressed to a smaller form (because he had a demon living inside him) that made him more dense, or some nonsense like that. Oh, and he was a living prison for a demon. That too, I guess.

Pastry of the Year posted:It's kind of dumb to me that Claremont has been retconned as "the weird fetish guy." Lots of sci-fi authors, really good ones even, have written about the intersection between the possibility of paranormal power and human depravity, because people are generally hosed up and horrible, but I guess it's fashionable to kill one's idols and etc etc. See, here's the thing - you can point out and, yes, mock Claremont's tendency to put "weird fetish stuff" in his stories while still, at the same time, understanding that he was a fantastic comics writer who turned the X-Men into something worth reading and then kept them there for way longer than he had any right to. This being the Funny Panels Thread, it seems to me like the focus is probably going to be on the inherent humor to be found in "what's with all the fetishy poo poo", and that's okay, because even if no one uses a disclaimer in their posts we can all understand that "this thing is funny" does not equate to "this writer is bad" or even "this writer has no value beyond our amusement." Some really good writers and artists have ended up in the Funny Panels Thread, and that does not mean that they are bad, it just means that those panels are funny.

So he created a wholly separate set of X-Babies so he could keep filming their adventures and get those sweet, sweet Nielsen numbers.
