Yeah, I went back to read Uncanny 200 after the second episode aired and two things jumped out: 1) there's a barely qualifies as a subplot about Kitty Pryde being embarrassed that she needs glasses due to being nearsighted 2) the point of the trial is Magneto apparently pulled a Superman IV The Quest For Peace and tried to unilaterally impose nuclear disarmament on the world.

Apparently it's Josh Keaton, of all people, and no, he's more known as Spider-Man than Cap.

I do want to reiterate something I posted in TV IV after having been criticial about Lenore Zann's voice after the first few episodes: While I stand by the opinion that her voice has noticeably aged more than most of the returning cast, she's also stepped up 1000% in what they've asked her to do in the last two episodes Rogue's been featured in, and more than justified the decision to bring her back.

TwoPair posted:I was (well, still am) very unfamiliar with Bastion, so when I saw the new bad guy was a purple dude messing with technology, I thought it was Feilong from the recent X-Men/Iron Man comics and thought "wow that's a pretty recent pull for this show". I guess little did I know of the X-Men's long history of purple bad guys (that aren't The Purple Man™) Kilgrave was even in the original show! Even though he's more a Daredevil (and now Jessica Jones/Luke Cage) bad guy!

muscles like this! posted:The voice actor for Wolverine is kind of rough because sometimes he sounds super old and sometimes he can get it exactly like the old show. I do agree with this but it bothers me less because, i mean, Logan's like 300 years old anyway.

BizarroAzrael posted:Ah that was it, yeah I could totally see that happening since JK is active in the MCU and a prolific voice actor himself. If he were standing in for (with the best will in the world) one of Haim Saban's stable of non-union VAs it might seem a bit jarring but for someone of Asner's stature that's not an issue. I'd also be fine with Darin dePaul doing his Simmons impression he uses in the Spider-Man video games.

Lobok posted:Never had the set but I do have a couple choice cards from it that I've kept for this whole time. Other Spidey art can be as good, but not better imo. Bagley's basically my platonic ideal for Spider-Man art. His style is just the right kind of cartoony (which is also why it was very effective when he drew the flashbacks in Alias, as it felt profoundly messed up for those events to be in that style)

khwarezm posted:This brings up a corollary to my earlier post, the fact that Darkseid and his minions more and more get used as recurring foes to Superman and the League has deteriorated Darkseid as much of a threat, when he shows up again and again and usually gets defeated and things reset to status quo he seems to be increasingly less of a terrifying, transcendent and nearly unstoppable manifestation of evil and more like a Saturday morning cartoon villain who angrily shakes his fist at Superman and the rest for foiling his plan to turn all of the ice cream in Metropolis sour so that the police would have stomach aches while he tries to kidnap the president and vowing to get them next time while Kalibak goes 'Duuuuuh, you get 'em pops!' and falls on head when they get out of the boom tube. I disagree, it's all in how he's defeated. As in the below TAS example, he loses, definitively... and yet he also wins, utterly. Like, what more could Superman do? Kill him? And as another example, he was used in a recent arc of World's Finest, where Superman and Batman travel to the Kingdom Come timeline, and there's 2 very cool details in how Waid uses him: One, there's the first real use of the idea that there's only one Darkseid, across all timelines/universes. And secondly, he's treated as a basically existential threat where if the McGuffin reaches him, it's game over, there's no actual fighting him. Like, the ending has Magog kill his mentor/creator Gog, to prevent his part of the Anti-Life Equation being taken by Darkseid and big D just... walks away. Like, he doesn't even give enough of a poo poo to kill Magog, he's unimportant. Sure, the heroes won, but it doesn't feel like Darkseid was diminished in the telling.

X-O posted:There's been a ton of subtle moments since the very first episode. I thought it was very clear that there was something there. I agree with the above that it appears to be one sided for now though. I think MonsterEnvy worded it poorly. I think they mean that Morph's crush on Logan was played unambiguously, not that there was no hints

Sentinel Red posted:That's one of the best uses of breaking up the team endings there's probably ever been. Hank's "oh dear" is a strong contender for understatement of the year. Not always, but for a long time, yes. Basically he used to do the MCU Iron Man thing of shooting his energy blasts down to push himself up and eventually that just became 'can fly'.

I liked in Alias where Jessica Jones talks about how she doesn't know if she's bulletproof because, like, there's only one way to actually test that and she doesn't want to risk being wrong.
