Savage Dragon has always seemed too dumb & juvenile to me, and that doesn't help.

That's pretty basic children's playground wordplay, but I'm more secondhand embarassed by the "wha-oh, shame on me, I'm just now realizing my goofy mistake" part honestly.

I don't want to be Americentric, but I've never seen a newstand in my life. I mean, it's probably different in places like New York, but newspapers are a dying industry as it is anyaway. As far as I'm aware supermarkets still sell some comics, though, like Archie and stuff-don't know about DC and the like.

DrProsek posted:I said at some point I'd make it my monthly chat thread gimmick to tie in every post I made to a random X-Men character each month but even ignoring how tedious to read that would be, I also realized there's no good "random X-Men picker" tool I can find, or even a list of every X-Men in a simple list I can copy and paste anywhere so I guess this is me officially saying I'm not going to do that unless I can find that random X-Men picker. Do Gambit. Every month. In every thread.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:Where do you live, and how old are you? 19, and I live in a relatively small town in a lovely state, but I've been to much bigger cities a lot and still never saw one first hand. I've always felt towards newstands like how I imagine today's young kids now feel about rental stores(I used to love Movie Gallery...always wanted to work at one...).

I don't know whether to be more surprised someone named a character after an old country song I haven't heard since I was a kid, or that Beef actually has a Wikipedia page.

All I want in life is to someday write a cyberpunk novel that takes place in the year 3033 and have a character exclaim "drat it, this is no time for jokes, an entire gigabyte of information are at stake!"

According to the intro, "he learned the game from his uncle James and now he's heir to the name". Maybe he's really a nephew but his name was like, Clark Bond until he was mentored by his uncle and took James Bond Jr. as a codename.

My dad taught himself to read entirely from comics.

When her hair is short, my sister looks exactly like Squirrel Girl's new look. I've always wanted to get the latest series for her, but it's got so many superhero in jokes, I'm not sure it's very accessible.

Squizzle posted:Given the choice, what two Infinity Gems would you want to control? Either Power and Mind or Soul, or Mind and Soul. The ability to control everyone else is the important part but Power's...power would be nice too. Reality would be cool but I figure if Power lets you have basically any superpower anyway, it's a bit redundant.

John Byrne is a creepy pedophile who got lucky with a pretty good Superman run and inventing corrupt CEO Lex. He's a pretty good artist but nearly everything written by him is so bad. I actually had high hopes for his Fantastic Four run and was really disappointed.

Twilight Zone rules state that if you become immortal you're eventually going to fall down an abandoned mine shaft or be on a boat that sinks to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Lurdiak posted:Reality can do "anything" but it's supposedly really, really hard to comprehend how to use it without having the mind gem, and its scope is relatively limited without the power gem to fuel it. But yes, it's by far the most powerful of the gems. So having the reality gem without either of those is like being Firestorm without the smart guy telling you the chemical formulas.

Squizzle posted:The Reality and Power gems don't, as far as I know, have any sensory aspect. Space, Time, Mind, and Soul each give you some ability to understand and study the thing that the gem able to affect. (Maybe Power gives some sort of energy-sense?) Reality on its own makes for a great monkey's paw, if you're not careful. You could reality up all the weed you wanted, though. Who needs the time gem when the reality gem can make it 4:20 forever?
