Yeah, "Hulk doesn't kill" here is more of a threat than a heroic statement.

Nilbop posted:Why can't Cyclops be an ideal student learning at the foot of the paragon of virtue and wisdom and make only the choices that are easily marketable, or small, meaningless and equally marketable mistakes? It's more that Cyclops is a moron whose personal life is like a war crime and he's basically never done anything productive, so there's really no loss in killing him. At least the young one is nominally before he turned into a total jackhole, and knows he grows up to be a jackhole, so that at least gives him the chance to make interesting choices. Cyclops is a poisoned well of expectations.

The Question IRL posted:Trying to view the Hulk through a feminist angle is a unique take. And there is a discussion about why men are allowed be publicly angry and it’s accommodated and why when women (and particularly women of colour) do it, it’s not allowed. The next page is him sort of acknowledging that without dismissing her. At first she thinks he's mocking her, but he generally admires the way she finds anger to be something useful and productive. Rather than something to keep locked away and ashamed of, to deny is a part of you. Because her perspective is right for her, but Bruce Banner is insane. And he was before he was the Hulk. He doesn't have an anger problem. He has a "horrifically abusive childhood, flipped out and killed his dad, memory holed the experience" problem. He isn't normal, he doesn't just need to count to 10 and take some deep breaths. He needs serious help, which he rarely gets, and he needs to have a period of time without some new trauma, which he never does. And later on she sees the Hulk hulking out, and she tries to tell him that he can stop literally tearing someone apart. That he's already won. Showing how profoundly she has misunderstood what the Hulk is.

Open Marriage Night posted:It will never not be funny seeing people complain about Quentin Quire or Damian Wayne. Yeah, they’re jerks No he's literally a mass murderer. Like he went "Waaah I'm adopted" and just started randomly killing people, partially to impress a girl that would later kill herself rather than be around him. And that's basically his first like seven stories. Randomly decide to kill folks because he's a sad brain bitch. And then sometime around, I don't know, Wolverine and the X-men? Most of his past is just sort of forgotten, and he immediately transitions to punk kid rather than sociopathic monster. And personally I don't think it works, but hey. I'm glad if you like him.

I don't even particularly like America Chavez [I find it literally impossible to take anything that came from Vengeance seriously.] but even I am looking sideways at that. It's feels like when Byrne had Vision torn apart on page and completely took away his emotions because he's just a stupid robot man. Like someone is taking a character down a few pegs for no reason.

Hmmm, all that Knull bullshit made me realize I've actually been checked out completely on anything related to Venom for like....well actually I never cared much for Venom when I was a kid so I guess forever. But I hear in the abstract that there have been some good modern runs of the character, with Flash and with Eddie. Are there any worth checking out as just self-contained runs I won't feel too bad leading into worse space Dracula?

That seems like enough of a starting point, thanks all. Oh, new page....I am going to be profoundly sad when Immortal Hulk is over and Hulk will go back to seeming like a comic book, and not some sort of insane fever dream of a man trapped in a bookstore entirely made up of gothic and religious literature. But I repeat myself.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:oh, those poor souls. i do not envy anyone who goes to court against disney. over copyright law, no less! The thing is that it's actually the best area to do so, because Disney has been fighting for years to make the law in favor of the dude 100 years ago that made something. Because, of course, they are the dude 100 years ago that made the something. In this situation though, it's someone else that is the dude fighting someone trying to take their poo poo and they have decades of Disney's legal precedent's to base their position on. They are still probably going to lose or settle, but it's also probably the best shot someone can take at Disney.

I mean technically chi is still a thing of which he has knowledge, and the Iron Fist itself isn't the totality of supernatural martial arts. Danny without the Iron Fist is still.....like 60% the same exact character, he's just not going to be winning any fights with speeding trains.

In media res is a choice for starting out your story, but it's one that often leads to total disconnect from the plot and apathy. I have no idea what is going on in Hulk, and I've been given no reason to care. Still about what I expected from whatever followed Immortal.

The thing about the Knull story is Knull never does anything. Ever. From beginning to ignoble end. The entire loving crux of all those years of storytelling is this dude who isn't charismatic or threatening, and doesn't even mechanically impact the plot much.

There's a finite amount of space, and even real characters that are interesting have trouble getting it. I imagine it was as simple as nobody had an interesting concept of what to do with them. That's it. Nobody fought to make something with them, so nothing got made. After all, if you could pitch anyone, why would you pitch *them*?
