    They may go a double route with the JLA being the first super group. It may be the JSA is really the first super group. A secret history that will be discovered by the JLA later. They may have been Government Joes used for PR and morale in WW2 or a version of the suicide squad or even better they still exist and are surprised/upset over JLA going public. May be they come out of the shadows to aid the JLA when they least expect it.

Of course if the story calls for it hulk can probably jump through time and dimensions by his sheer hulkitude. By writer's fiat it's also guaranteed that any object hulk encounters after having been hurled through space will have the means for returning to earth somewhere nearby.

    Anything you all can tell me about these stories in particular that makes them good/great?
    Walt Son of simon handled many things well, but his handling of Warrior's Three was timeless. Here's an example.

    * Volstag: "Surely if some harm came now to Balder and you were responsible, why I might even find it in my heart, so much larger than that of ordinary men, to forgive you. Why, even Thor or Fandral the Dashing might forgive you because they were once young and daring themselves. But Hogun the Grim? Hogun was never young. He would never forget ... or forgive!" (Iss. 340)
  5. In no particular order.

    Steele and Lace: movie about mad scientist. 80's Mullet wearing evil, and a female cyborg stealth killing her murderers

    The Punisher: Dolph Lundgren version. He kills everything. Never reloads.

    Hunter: The Movie pilot. There is a showdown between Hunter and Brian Dennehy that is just priceless.

    Pirahna 3d: B00Bi3s and Jerry o Connell playing a scuzzy scumbag from Scumbonia. If there was an award for being a scumbag it'd be named The Scuzzie and that character would definitely be in the running.

    Gi Joe the Movie: The underwater Death Star scene and the Duel of the Fates er Ninjas had me lol-Groaning.

    JCVD: It is an excellent movie, but people roll their eyes when you mention Jean Claude and good movie in the same sentence.

    TimeLine: Paul Walker. nuff said. Gerard butler before there was SPARRRRRTTTTTAAAAAA!!!!

    Hulk: Ang lee's version. If they took the best of both movies. They'd make one decent movie, but I prefer the Lee version more.

    Orgazmo: T-Rexus. DVDA. That is all.

    FreeWay: Good movie, but the unredeemable nature of the good and bad guys make you squirm in your seat. If you watch this in civilized company they'll think you lost your mind.

    BlackMale: You'll never look at a Briar pipe the same way again, or Roger Rees for that matter. As a matter of fact. I'd say his character is very close to what a grown up Stewie from Family guy would be.

    3000 Miles to GraceLand: Not a good movie, but entertaining.

    P.S. Crank 2: That movie made me Lol-Groan.

    Baby Boy: Ving Rhames: Your mom's a good woman. Want some eggs?
  6. <Says in Landshark voice> SuperVillain

    P.S. Yes I did read the article and I still say he should play............

    Heeeeeeey. Those monster movies have waaaay more class than wrestling.

    No bad mouthing classics such as Mansquito, Ice Spiders and Mega Snake.

    Good wholsome family entertainment....Quite Oscar and Emmy worthy and relevant to our times!!!!!!!
  9. The key animation scenes are well done, but the in-betweens make my eyes bleed. Despite that I still really like the show. It feels like an animated comic book. Whether that's good or bad YMMV.
    It has a Classic Marvel feel. It was good guys versus bad guys. Old villain organisations made relevant again. No one had a specific claim on a super villain.

    The Gamer's handbook to the Marvel universe animated. It has problems. Many problems, but the tight stories and characterisation tend to be good. Better than Marvel proper IMO.
    No breaking a character's character to make an interesting story.

    Oh and the Money shots. The money shots are damn good. Just key scenes/scenery/character angle shots with the narration. Just makes you wanna SQUEEEEEE. Especially when they do the villain montage for each of the super prisons.

    I'm a full grown man and I said it makes me wanna SQUEEEEE. SMH.
  10. I wonder if a Flute will play everytime just before Megatron shows on screen.

    p.s. if you get that videogame refrence......you just showed your age.
  11. What if MM's used pets for mob control while acting as a buffer/debuffer on BM during second half of fight?
  12. It's a possible good read beacause it's Greg Pak.

    He did the Incredible Hercules and Incredible Thorcules.

    Very entertaining stuff. He is to Hercules as Frank Miller was to Daredevil, Walt Simonson

    to Thor, Mark Waid to JLA. He really gets ,Hercules, the character and brings his A game to

    the table. I am actually Boycotting Marvel right now due to JMS Thor run. Literally made

    me stop reading comics. It's not JMS by himself tho The Loeb-Neto and Q-Seid, evil

    dynamic duo, run amuck also makes me not want to pick up books from the house of ideas.

    Support Greg Pak he is a young talent that will only get better with age. No gimmicks. No

    Destruction of a character's character to get a story done.

    Even if you don't read his stuff now. You eventually will. He's making his Bones.

    P.S. Huge fan of JMS but a bigger Thor fan. He really dropped the ball on Thor.

Artemis' temple at Ephesos was supposedly built by Amazons, as the city was supposed to have been founded by them as well.

    Ares was never worshipped in cult within the Greek world. Ares was the personification of the destruction caused by war. Soldiers of any stripe gravitated towards Athena, since she was supposed to represent strategy and brilliant thinking to win in combat with the least amount of loss. The Greeks claimed that the Amazons had a link with Ares, as the Amazons were considered a barbarian tribe that supposedly existed on the fringes of what the Greeks considered the civilized world.

    I mention Ares because in WW stories he shows up as an antagonist, not as a proud ancient ancestor.
    Well Damn. It's true.

    The Dude DOES abide.

    I've heard about this one several times over the years.

    While Lynda Carter is a decent enough actress and probably could have handled being in a Star Trek series I almost think the Wonder Woman thing typecasted her too much for any other established franchise like that. If she had been the captain on Voyager I would have kept expecting her to solve all their problems by spinning into her Wonder Woman outfit and deflecting phaser blasts with her bracelets.
    LOL.

    I could have lived with that.

    I mean Janeway did have superpowers.

    A voice that would make Black Canary cover her ears and the super-ability that allowed

    her to do everyone's job for them. >.>

    The DC version of Amazons is ridiculous and silly, and leads to the murkyness that CaptainFoamerang was talking about.

    But I digress...

    I really just hope the show doesn't suck, but I'm sure it will.
    Not to Nitpick, but Amazons would worship Artemis. Especially if there's man-killing involved.

    Ares followers in general would be mercs, merc warlords and Militaristic leaders. Actually

    a counter-culture of Men seperated from the world would make an interesting Dynamic.

    Myrmidons V. Amazons.

    Oh and a little known fact Lynda Carter Auditioned for the role of Captain Kathryn Janeway

    on "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995).

    In the 1994 Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture the love interest sacrifices herself for Terry towards the end of the movie.

    Kyle should talk to Terry because both of them have their love interests killed by the villains.


    A woman dating Terry Bogard needs to make sure her life insurance is paid up,

    and her will and testament is laid out.

    Literally if he dates someone. Shhe might as well off herself.
  18. On a side note. I really was not too fond of Kyle until he found his girl in the fridge.

    Not because i felt sympathy for his loss, but because i could not believe they took it

    "there" to give him credibility. He and Terry Bogard need to talk.
  19. Actually MNU was multinational created to make sure whatever advancments from alien

    Tech was "shared" with all the Governments that placed resources into the company. I

    think it even had UN oversight.

    There were some examples of good humanity in the movie. Wikus' wife was devoted and

    absolutely still believed in him even after all the evidence against him and all the people he

    killed. Now here's an example of what you see is not what you get. Who here winced at

    Wikus' treatment of his immediate subordinate. I thought for sure he was quietly hated and

    mocked at the office. Yet at the end of the movie. This subordinate after all that happened

    took all the secret files and put them all over the interwebs because of the cover up. He

    was locked up "indefinitely" because of it.

    Wikus was a shrub, he was an herb and quite clueless. He had many bad traits which were

    very pronounced, but he had two that were clear from the outset. He was sent to deal with

    aliens with little more than a clipboard and a bulletproof vest. The man was stupidly brave.

    Second was that despite what we saw the documentary part and the pov second part. The

    man obviously had a good heart. His wife chose him cuz he wasn't like her father. His

    subordinate went to jail for industrial espionage/sabotage to clear him after the fact.

    Those that felt no sympathy for him I can kind of understand, but have you not noticed

    that when pressured it is natural human nature to lash out and/or go into denial. Just look

    at these forums. Ultimately he helped our Prawn friend because he was the only one that

    held out hope for the beleagured Wikus.

    As to the mustache twirling. If you have ever worked in a Corporate/political environment.

    It is not that far fetched. The street level/ lower tiered workers never ever know what the

    real deal is. In general they are people as trustworthy/untrustworthy as the next. It's when

    you have a whole lotta money involved and people trying to justify their corporate/political

    existence is when the mustache twirling begins.

    The movie was waaaay better than i expected. it didn't explain a lot, but I did not actually

    see real plot holes. many people simply want their movie explained to them nowadays.

    old man old school. that's me.

    If that doesn't sound like an Internet Meme. I don't know what does.
  21. If I had to make a list of those shows that I saw versus the ones I did not. The list for those

    I didn't would be awfully short.

    I loved some Samson and Goliath. Huge beast of a Lion with Swirly-Vision Lazer Eyes.

    I mean COME ON???!?!?!?!?!?!? How do you top that?????

    P.S. Yes Yes. Samson looked totally.......er wrong, but Swirly-Eyes!!!!! Lazer Vision!!!

    P.P.S Yes Yes I switched Vision and Eyes around.

    =D
  23. "See Vera if you dress up nice you get to be taken out somewhere."
  24. You know. There ARE people that don't even consider what he is talking about.

    It is to them he is talking. You know. The people who are too busy to even contemplate this

    type of thing. He is considered an expert in his fields. If Joe Forum says it, It means nothing.

    Mr Hawking says it. People in charge take note. Also think of it from his perspective. How

    do you think he would feel if he said nothing and something did happen? It's the same type

    of advice parents give their kids. Save your money, looks aren't everything, an ounce of

    prevention is worth a pound of cure. We just nod say yes or agree and yet find oursleves

    in the exact predicaments our parents tried to warn us about. Not to mention a great big

    segment of mankind does not learn until after they've stuck their hand in the fire. Not stupid

    just they learn thru cause and effect.

    So stop one sec and reflect on the very negative or no duh auto-reflex response and realise

    he's talking to you specifically. He's giving advice the way he created theories. They are

    thoughts on what he feels are of some import to us.

    This is why geniuses and people of intelligence don't like to talk to the masses.

    All we see are the words. We don't see the worlds within the words that men/women of

    intellect see.
