Quote:It's actually more of a "Spider-man comics from the 1980's" angle, but sure.Originally Posted by Xzero45
Didn't like the whole Dark Knight angle of Spiderman being hunted down by police being a primary focus of the movie. Other than that? Probably gonna go see it. -

Or not many actors are willing to accept wearing a mask full time. Or they want the facial cues that don't show up when wearing a mask.
Not all actors can be Hugo Weaving. -

If that had been full force he would´ve been dead... in one issue (90´s I think) he leveled a whole mountain. (but hey, powers fluctuate as the writers need 'em)
He better be or closing his eyes would become pretty painfull... he is however immune to Havok´s powers.
btw, why is Hope using a jetpack? Shouldn´t she be able to fly on her own? -

To be fair, the majority of the side plots on Civil War was basically the other heroes debating the issues among themselves and/or becomming influenced to one side or another due to some event that swayed them, due to tragedy, family, or because they found a way to exploit it...I'm looking at you Howard T. Duck.
Because Nick Fury was MIA through all of the Civil War, and Tony Stark took his reigns just afterward.
"government fires on unarmed man" does not look good for anybody. -
Quote:He still doesn't go around killing heroes.Originally Posted by Nos482
Are you talking about the same Cyclops that assembled a killteam or that wants to use the probably most powerful mutant (who´s still a teen) as a soldier?
Please step in front of a speeding train (but only as a thought experiment of course) and then tell me how it went... if you have enough force, you don´t have to disintegrate your opponent to splatter him all over the next wall.
But that brings up something else. Have you seen the preview of A vs X?
if not, minor [SPOILER]
It is here:
http://i.marvelousnews.com/g/index.p...ze=600&start=0
on the last page,
Hope 'borrows' Cyclops powers and blasts him full force. (note he is not disintegrated lol)
...I thought Cyclops was immune to his own powers? -

Cap's relationship with the Government had typically been shaky at best. They were always glad when their viewpoints matched as they were able to use Cap's influence to bolster support. However Steve's ideals often also conflicted with individual political agendas causing them to backlash against him, even going to calls for replacing him as the symbol for America.
Tony Stark in the comics (not the movies), in spite of his idiosyncrasies, is a trained political lobbyist machine that spoke to government officials in ways they can relate to. So, Tony tended to have more pull on them then Steve.
As for the general populous, Steve generally has more pull, except in this case as the media was already biased toward the Government agenda because of the destruction of the school which started it all. Hell, there was one arc in which the media supported Tony's descision to release the Green Goblin so he can assassinate Atlantian dignitaries in order to pull Atlantis into the Civil War. I mean like WTH? But that's just the craziness of it all.
I also wondered why Steve didn't go to the government with his story. Maria Hill took it upon herself to order agents to fire guns at him, using lethal force on an unarmed man (his shield is not generally considered a weapon in the legal sense) because he vocally disagreed with a proposed bill that was not a law yet. How is she still in power? :/ -
Quote:Because Cyclops uses lethal force against heroes every day with his force beams that have suddenly become disintegration beams?Originally Posted by Nos482
No, that would be a very short fight. As soon as Summers takes his visor off, all that remains of cap is his shield and the bit of meat behind it.

You guys are all assuming that the writers of modern Marvel comics are basing brand new stories on any of the stories that came before. (Particularly Bendis.) Did Cap and Iron Man seem different to anyone during Civil War?
Did Cap resign in protest during the Registration? And why was everyone so eager to take Iron Man's word that Cap was wrong? The same Cap that was correct in EVERY SINGLE THING previously. Meanwhile, Iron Man is always being mind controlled, or the traitor for Kang or being drunk, or wants to kill the Supreme intelligence, or oh yeah tried to take out heroes during the Armor Wars cause no one can ever have his technology. But sure, let's believe him over Steve. :P
Recently Kitty Pryde was stuck on a flying bullet in space. So instead of saving her by having her think the following sentence several times: "Rachel, please come save me!" (Rachel Grey, her best friend, is known as Phoenix, telepath/space traveler), we have Magneto "remember" what that metal feels like months ago, and pull it through space, while sitting on a planet that is rotating and orbiting the sun.
When she gets back, she is stuck in intagible form. THE EXACT SAME CONDITION she had twenty years ago in "FF vs X-men", where Reed and Doctor Doom cured her. So when Dr. Nemesis, her current doctor, is face to face with Reed Richards, do you think he might have mentioned this once? NUPE! They just sat there admiring Cyclops current strategy, saying YUP, that Cyclops sure is a genius.
So yeah, the way Marvel handles things now, I don't think any comics written more than maybe a year ago will have anything to do with new stories. lol -
Quote:You know Spidey is on the Avengers side...right?Originally Posted by RemusShepherd
I'd put Spidey up against any Avenger, one-on-one. He'd be an underdog against Hulk and Thor but he'd pretty easily handle almost anyone else.

Quote:It's not space travel, it's dimension travel. Instead of "Rikti homeworld" it should be called "Rikti Earth". That drives me more crazy than "Samaritan". lolOriginally Posted by Golden Girl
You missed the bit where Positron said he thinks that we'll get to see the Rikti homeworld someday

Quote:I don't think that's true. The family exploit systems already in place. I'm pretty sure they just want to enjoy life, even though they lie cheat and steal to do it. And vampires (the true ones) like surviving, too. In fact, this quote from Buffy the vampire season 2's finale "Becoming, part two" seems relevant here:Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Every single villain group in the game, from Tyrant and the loyalists down to the Skulls and the Hellions is trying to make the game world into a worse place
Spike: "We like to talk big, vampires do. 'I'm going to destroy the world.' That's just tough guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You've got... dog racing, Manchester United. And you've got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here. But then someone comes along with a vision. With a real... passion for destruction. Angel could pull it off. Goodbye, Piccadilly. Farewell, Leicester Bloody Square. You know what I'm saying?"
So for every villain that WANTS to destroy the world, you'd have some that DON'T. You'd have to provide options for both, or somebody is being forced to do something he doesn't want to do, no matter what you are presented with. -
I have to say, just removing Statesman with no phasing tech is disappointing to me. I thought triggering his absence by playing the arc would be really stepping things up, big time. Now I'm all, "oh, that's all it is." Your character really is NOT changing the game world through actions at all.
Yay for Staff weapons though! -
Quote:It's the NAME of the ENTIRE arc, not just the individual parts of it.Originally Posted by Silver Gale
So... this is it? This is the actual character who is dying? It's not some thing where you go "Statesman DIES!" and then in future parts it turns out his death moves Manticore or whoever to sacrifice himself to bring him back and that's the character who actually dies? I'm *assuming* you wouldn't make up this whole article to mislead us, because that would be kind of dumb.
And so Statesman dies in part 5, and there are two more parts that are still called "Who Will Die?" even though the question is already answered?
Look, I love what you guys have dome with Freedom and the store and all the new costumes and power sets, but at this point the only way I can enjoy the writing is if I make up a drinking game to go along with it.
This is like complaining that people still watch the ending of Back to the Future even after Marty makes it back to 1985. Why bother? he is already back in the future. -

Quote:Yeah. Until recently, I was led to believe that the new phasing tech was going to be used in this. You know, he is alive until you play the arc that kills him and poof he's gone. Now I'm disappointed that it might NOT be that.Originally Posted by Coulomb2
I do hope 'remove all references' is not going to be a repeat of the Council takeover. One of the things I've really enjoyed about the SSA's (and some other content I won't mention here) is how important I feel in the story; they do ... mostly ... feel centered on me (or, at the least, I'm important). I was there when Stateman died - I played an important role in the story. The game content being rewritten as though he never even existed completely marginalizes that.
And I was kind of surprised that there was no twist to part five. I thought, ok, maybe he dies THWARTING Wade's plan. Or gets him monologing, there's a big battle, and dies anyway. But no. No twist. No excitement. Statesman just blunders on in to the plan and dies. Oh well. This is not "the fight of his life", like the marketing suggested. It's just the part where he gets killed. -

Quote:Read the part about issue 23.Originally Posted by Serge_TaNull
I don't expect Statesman to be removed completely, as in the OP, but you have to admit it kinda kills the immersion. >_>'''
With loading screens, box art, and marketing stuff, I get it.
Everything else in-game? I believe it needs to reflect the results of the entire WWD saga.
And that's probably the thing. But hey, I've been wrong before. Either way, I'm still enjoying the game and will still plunk in my sub fees. -
Quote:Well, they already mentioned on those other threads that only the female members of the new carnival use pieces that are not already available and/or don't have "issues".Originally Posted by daveyj3
please port the pieces to male and huge models. there really is no reason they shouldnt get to enjoy them. so what that the male canirval npcs dont have the same pieces, if i wanted to mimic the enemy group exactly [i.e. only females having the pieces] then this should have been an NPC transform power.
please port the pieces to the other models. this is silly. -
For a moment, I thought that costume slots were meant to be on sale. And I was almost excited. :/
lol -
Well put! But to torture the lego analogy further, some people don't know how or don't want to spend that much time playing with legos if they don't have the assembly book.
-
Play with the elemental Titan Weapon for a while. That might make you feel a lot better if you are feeling disappointed with this set.
-
When you say "all of the pieces are for male female and huge", you mean women can wear men's shirts and short skirts? Just like Shania Twain? lol
