Say Nothing posted:Someone at Marvel watched The Hunger Games and thought "Hey, let's do that!". To be fair, I don't see the problem in looking at *popular thing* and doing a story aping *popular thing*. And 'bunch of dudes in an arena' isn't exactly untrodden territory for comic books. In fact, I LOVE the bringing back of Arcade in that series, doing a Hunger Games/Battle Royale ripoff is exactly his territory (IIRC the comic us barefaced transparent about that, which I kinda liked) What I'm saying is the premise wasn't flawed. Just everything else about it was.

I once ran a Superhero Tabletop RPG set in the DC universe - one of my players isn't a comics person so was a little stuck for original ideas. He caught onto my Amalgam comics collection and figured he'd make an Amalgam character, that way he didn't have to come up with powers or backstory himself, he could just let two established characters do it for him - and he'd have an in-game excuse for not quite understanding the world he was in. He chose Green Arrow and DarkHawk and, being a D&D nerd, named his Amalgam Greyhawk. And this was how I found out about Darkhawk, and I've had a soft-spot for the little Guyver rip-off ever since. I gave the player bonus hero points to start with for dredging up a character I'd never heard of. And that's my story. Here's some funny panels for your time:   Death's Head II #1 Marvel UK

Yvonmukluk posted:See, it's my understanding that Female Circumcision is actually a loving terrible thing that should be condemned. But isn't male circumcision much less traumatic? I mean, I'm no doctor & obviously there's questions of consent and stuff, but I don't think it's ever been scientifically confirmed to be traumatic- You loose a lot of sensitivity in the glans, sure but if it's done while you're a baby then you'll never know any different. I guess it could seem more damaging if it's done when you're into adulthood. (Having it done while an adult also means about 3-6 months of going commando in the baggiest pants you can find, which I guess could also be traumatic) Either way there's no comparison with FGM, and no connection with erectile dysfunction AFAIK.

thespaceinvader posted:E: also, I never really noticed balding J'onn J'onnz chef in the background. Goddamnit I love Kingdom Come. There is not a single drat panel in that book that doesn't have something hidden in it. That dude in the sunglases on Martian Frycook's left is Mark Gruenwald for example. There's links here for all four issues that go through the books, panel-by-panel highlighting the references in both the text and the art. It is amazing. Kingdom Come is amazing.

Rhyno posted:Is that in the annotations somewhere? I never read that before. I hadn't either to be fair, so I just did a bit of googling. We may never have heard of it before because the Justice League TV series pilot was made and broadcast in 1997 while Kingdom Come was released in '96. I suspect, therefore, that the fat, balding Jon J'onzz in Kingdom Come is a reference to a fat blading man dressing up as Martian Manhunter for a super-hero themed costume restaurant. Sorry, Random Stranger.

IUG posted:Okay, it's me. I'm the one who doesn't understand this pun. Grey jeans? S'ok - I'm the nerd who gets cross whenever someone makes a joke about Jean Grey dying and resurrecting constantly. She is the preferred host of an all-powerful entity called The Phoenix. It's not like you should be surprised she keeps coming back from the dead! That said - much like Hank Pym beating on women - I suspect that Jean Grey's death/resurrection cycle is prolly no more impressive than most superheroes - it's just the one that gets highlighted the most.

Gavok posted:Plas left the team for a while and tried to live a normal life with his estranged son, but Batman brought him back because Martian Manhunter went rogue and was no longer weak to fire. Plas was Batman's ace in the hole on that because he can't be mind-controlled and his morphing powers are superior to J'onn's.

djw175 posted:Wasn't he the pope at some point as a part of an incredibly contrived plot? ^  A bunch of evil dudes tried to get him elected as pope so they could turn off his image inducer while he was popeing and kick start the rapture or someshit. It also involved exploding communion wafers. VV There was another story where his whole priest training g and ordination was a hypnotic false memory. He descovers it when he is sat at a table and just let's everyone know "Well, I've given up being a priest and renounced the whole thing." - Casual as poo poo - and everyone else is shocked that he was a priest in the first place. I seem to recall that it was all written by the same idiot who did his "Draco" storyline that everyone hates and ignores. KayTee fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Jan 18, 2016 |
