His dad wasn't a mutant and he looked like a wolfman too, so that might not be a mutation.

So is Gerry Conway supposed to be like... good? Because I've been reading some Marvel Team-Up and his stories tend to be at the Spidey Super Stories level of creativity and logic without the charm. This guy named Basil Esks became The Basilisk, and then robots caused earthquakes to loosen Manhattan from its foundations so they could use a submarine to pull the entire island out to sea and hold it ransom. That particular story was so ridiculous that it had an editor's note jokingly apologizing for how far-fetched it was. Was he just trying to keep the book accessible to younger readers or something? Or is this just what comics were like in the 70s and I've been spoiled by reading actually good books from the era?

Since I'm kinda tired and not feeling up to trying to mount a cogent argument for why I can accept Stan Lee goofiness over the goofiness of Conway (other than to just shrug and say that it's clumsily written and lacks charm), I'm going to post these panels out of context to make him look bad.

I mean, I suppose Stan, Steve and Jack were all quite far along their careers when they turned out their best work. But even they have Stripperellas and Hawk and Doves tarnishing that.

The Aaron story was subtle in that take on Penguin as being completely unbalanced in his own way despite outwardly being a rather sane mob boss, but Hurwitz made it fairly caricatural.

Toph Bei Fong posted:Honestly, if you wanted to go for a dark reboot, Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines would be the way to go. The tale of a poor child courier, trapped behind enemy lines, desperate to keep his plane operational by any means necessary, pursued by a mad Nazi pilot and his increasingly deranged inventions, his constantly snickering hound, his cowardly yet omnipresent sidekicks... I kind of agree with you in principle but Turbo Kid is an awesomely hilarious movie full of horrible gore, and playing that movie dead serious would completely ruin it.

It seems like a lot of people on twitter don't understand what palliative care implies with regards to Darwyn Cooke's situation. I don't have the heart to disillusion them.

Rhyno posted:The theory I am seeing in the FB discussions is that he kept it a secret and must have taken a bad turn and that's why it became public. It's just, my grandfather got diagnosed with incurable doom and somehow lasted 3 months, and he was a blind skinny 90 year old man. Either he was in palliative care for a while now, or it got really bad really fast.

Either way, I still feel really bad for people who read an article written by someone who doesn't understand what palliative care means and are tweeting "Darwyn will beat this!" and such things. Like I thought it was just readers being confused, but apparently some people rewrote the original article and botched the part where he's BEEN fighting cancer and is now in palliative care and are reporting it as "Is fighting cancer". Those are not equivalent stories at all.

X-O posted:It's pretty amazing that anyone that's ever picked up a comic believes this is an actual thing and not just a storyline. Other than CapnAndy, I don't think a single person bitching about it actually has read a comic in their life. What's insufferable is that the complainers think they can somehow force a retcon, and will think they've "won" when the storyline concludes.

There were a lot of jokes about Deadpool having mancrushes and gay sex dreams over the years, and you could do worse than turning those somewhat homophobic gags into him actually expressing his sexuality. E: As an example, this is the "pleasure dream" he sees when hit by Black Mamba's power.

Tatum Girlparts posted:It was less 'obvious' stuff like 'I totally have a girlfriend in Canada...we make out...all the time. I like girls, guys!' and more like he was pretty much the only young guy X-Man in the core roster who didn't have a ton of romance subplots, and the ones he did have he always kinda seemed half-hearted/forced into. It was something a lot of gay fans could kinda identity with at that age, a weird kinda 'going through the motions' that no one else really seemed to deal with unless they were like...robots or aliens who straight up didn't get dating, you know? It was a very coded feeling thing. There was also that great coming out scene in the second X-men movie. "Have you tried not being a mutant?"
