That's a webcomics joke from ye olden days. The Mega Man comic, like the Sonic comic, has a lot of community input and nods like that, for better or worse.


E: Oh yeah, don't loving read that sprite comic from 2003 that I linked, in case you're brain dead and need to be told that.

This... was the first sentai show with a giant robot. Power Rangers ultimately descends from this. :what:

Very directly, actually. And just like all shows with giant robots, it was a decision from Hasbro to sell more toys. The Spidey live action show was originally going to be much closer to the source material, but they were like "we need to sell giant robot and monster toys, rewrite this poo poo". Then it was apparently enough of a hit that the sentai series was born.

Yay yay yay, wow!

That's why I think it's stupid when people point out that this or that superhero reminds them of a Tatsunoko character or Kamen Rider or whatever. No, really? Does Superman remind you of Sentry, too?

Wade Wilson posted:

Why does Luke care, anyway?

It's interesting, because he only cares when she says "love". This scene is Peter unmasking in front of the Avengers after magically making everyone forget who he is with OMD. When he unmasked during Civil War, Jessica saw it on TV and told Luke offhandedly that she used to have a crush on Peter in high school, and he just kind of laughed it off. But during take 2 it gets super awkward and personal.

Bottomline, I really didn't like Kirkman's Marvel stuff. By and large it was fairly meanspirited somehow.

What's mean-spirited about a story where a horrible decaying monster wears Arana's arm that's the only thing left of her body after it gets disintegrated by mercenaries from the future who kill every superhero ever, including melting Luke Cage? It's all in good fuuuuuun!

Teen Titans and Justice League debuted on the same day and people looked at me as if I grew a second head when I went into the comic store the next day and said Teen Titans was great and Justice League was awful.

And TT season 1 is still miles better than JL season 1.

I don't even like the Teen Titans cartoon, and I still understand that it was a really clever show that struck a chord with people slightly younger than me and distilled aimless characters into memorable and likeable incarnations/designs.

Thousands of internet perverts still wanna gently caress that version of Raven. Ain't nobody drawing creepy fanart of the 80s Raven.

Archie's main comic also had that crisis on infinite Archies thing going on, which was the weirdest thing to even happen to Archie since that time they revealed Jughead was a time cop who was in love with Archie's great grand-daughter from the future and that's why he wasn't interested in other girls.

They also introduced a gay character a few years back, which isn't really notable except for the fact that it's Archie.

Wasn't the Crisis on Infinite Archies thing this awesome plot-twist out of left field too? Like there was an Archie comic that at first just seemed to be an anthology of different what if-type scenarios, but then in the last page of one of them you had Dilton jumping universes Sliders-style to save the Archie Multiverse or something like that?

Yeah, something like that. And it came off the heavily advertised "wedding of Archie" thing, if I recall, so it was like a bait and switch.

I really don't think it was deliberately targeting an Archie comic, but it was definitely making GBS threads on people who idealize America's racist, sexist, classist past as an excuse to disparage the world of today.

Argue posted:

The reason he isn't interested in other girls is because he had his first heartbreak early, when he moved away from his childhood friend, Joani Jumpp. She was part of Jughead's love quadrangle (yes, Marshall January McAndrews was another part of it); if anyone actually wants more detail on this I can, uh, post a lot more in the Archie thread.

That was a later retcon they did after dropping the Time Police story. January McAndrews was definitely his love interest while that was going on, and the reason given for his lack of interest in girls.

E: Wait, I think I'm getting my stories confused.
