Extraordinary is the one everyone says sucks. Nobody really talks about Uncanny.

I haven't read either.

If I've been vocal about my annoyance at all of this, imagine a world where everyone around you loving ADORED the late 1990s animated show The PJs. It was an okay show, and had talented people involved like Eddie Murphy and Larry Wilmore. It wasn't that good or successful, though I don't begrudge its existence. Imagine if every time someone asked about the best TV shows to catch up on, someone said THE PJS, WATCH THE PJS IMMEDIATELY.

Done with Breaking Bad and looking for a show to binge on? Next stop, THE PJS
Really enjoying the political comedy on Veep? WATCH THE PJS
How did you like Mad Men? COULD'VE BEEN BETTER IF THEY WERE MORE LIKE THE PJS
Has anyone watched the Grinder? I hear it's pretty-- UGH MAYBE PEOPLE WOULD WATCH FOX IF THEY STILL AIRED THE PJS

This is every single day in TV IV, but with Person of Interest.

I assumed Shogo was planned as part of the arc and Jubilee just drew the short straw because she's the least useful in a fight scene.

Except as a vampire she has super-strength and speed and can teleport around in fog form

The team had 3 omega psychics and the weather goddess. Super strength doesn't make for an interesting fighter.


(Also I don't think she ever used her strength or speed in the run.)

There's no way Doom's mask allows for him to eat pizza, so he doesn't see the need for it.

Doom's probably a Chicago style guy.

He'd have to be, since you know Reed is New York style.

This is the thread to talk about Captain Marvel, right? Because I fuckin' love Captain Marvel. The colors this week seemed even more top notch than usual. The space battles look so good!

This arc's been so fun and satisfying on a ton of levels. Just sci-fi thriller horror stuff with Alpha Flight and Brand and Carol Danvers. It owns and it's done such a better job of grabbing me than KSD's stuff. I know a lot of people on the internet enjoyed KSD's run, but to me this is just. :perfect:

Those are crazy people. She was so boring.

HIJK posted:

"This story has been vetted by layers and layers of fact-checkers editors" is a silly excuse because of buzzwords like "group think," "confirmation bias," and "echo chamber." Committee decisions often come up with the decisions they do because they're telling each other what they want to hear and editors are no exception.

This doesn't make any sense in the context of story planning.

It's not collaborative, they tell the writers what they have to do when a big event is going to use their characters.

They figure out Ulysses' master plan and Nick Fury and Maria Hill hide behind some clairvoyant proof glass, until he confesses and they step in to arrest him.

WAR FOOT posted:

Tony will go insane and kill Ulysses and vanish/be killed leaving a pre-insanity version to be the hologram mentor of Riri. That's my wild prediction.

I don't think Captain Marvel will walk away from this looking at all worse than 'made some bad choices but it won't be held against her'

"X goes Insane" is also known as The Blizzard Plot

The opportunity to have Tony be her Jarvis AI shouldn't be passed up.

I just find the endless parade of 'they are trying to cancel the x-men and kill all mutants, no those current dozen books don't count I'm not even going to acknowledge it' on here to be tiring. The extreme conspiracy theory levels of argument about how it looks like it is not happening but look between he lines and it is!!!


The current plotline has the inhumans and X-Men at odds for the same reason the current plotline has Carol and Tony at odds: to sell books about a conflict with a little more oomph behind it than 'bad guy does bad thing'

They would just go and be real dumb about something else.
