Or, more amusingly, the tesseract works just like the comic cosmic cube, but its just no-one thought to pick up this radiation emmiting power source with bare hands and make a wish. Given what happened to Red Skull, its plausible thats where they are going with it.


Loki is going to be kicking himself when he finds out!

Just out of interest, what exactly do you envision Secret Identity gameplay actually being?

I took that more as an irresitable force hitting an immovable object, The energy had to go somewhere.

However, they did show hulk not being able to lift it, so you know that somewhere theres a plan for Cap to be able to.

EDIT:

oh, and I loved the little bit with Loki and the arrow.

And the fact that Whedon snuck a pretty offensive insult past the censors.

I think the pinging sound would probably be pretty quiet, it is just the sound of the metal expanding under pressure. Probably quieter than the sound of the clockwork engines.

But, Hawkeye is a much better archer than the person who wrote the article, so we can safely conclude that he knows what he is doing. a) is actually evidence of how awesome he is, since he doesn't even need to use the full power of his bow! As for b), its entirely possible that Hawkeye is so tough that he simply doesn't mind if his bowstring hits him.

In conclusion, can the writer of the article do this? If not, then their argument is invalid.



I mean, two of those arrows aren't even touching the bow at all. That's how good an archer he is!

Strangely, I think the BBC funding thing is actually why Top Gear can be the way it is. On a commercial channel, they would risk having sponsors/advertisers pulling out due to controversey. That can't happen on the BBC, so they can pretty much make what they want (within their charter, of course).

As for the Daleks at war thingy, yes, it was silly, juvenile, not particularly good, had a few dodgy(ish) special effects and quite a few plot holes. On the other hand, it was kind of fun. As such, it's pretty much right on par for a lot of Doctor Who.

That would also be correct, as he did gain his powers due his parents being exposed to lead.

I chose him because he has a place in pop culture as the closest to what would be considered a mutant in terms of CoX. The facts of the matter have little bearing, you say The Elephant Man and everyone pretty much has this picture in their heads.

I disagree here, in the context of that place and time period, it was his armour that made made him stand out from others doing the same thing. It was the technological advantage that the legend is fixed on. You think of Ned Kelly, you think of the armour. In kind of the same way, in the marvel universe, there was nothing particularly revolutionary about the Iron man armour. In that universe, various forms of robot and hyper technology already exist and Dr Doom certainly beat him too it.

I think this is the key difference of opinion, because this is pretty much always true of all characters. Dr Strange is awesome at magic because of who he is. Spiderman is interesting because of how he uses his powers, not just because he has powers. So, origin in terms of CoX has very little to do with the subject at hand.

In terms of this, then I can certainly see some of those mentioned fitting in well in the CoXverse. I can see a low level villain group using basic scrounged together power armour called the Kelly Gang. Or maybe Ned would throw in his lot with the Freakshow and we'd get a boss called N3d K311y.

Houdini would be interesting, since what would he do in a word where magic and ghosts are commonplace? Would he become the magician he pretended to be? Perhaps, he'd become our version of Mysterio, using high-tech trickery to perform feats that would leave real mages scratching their heads in wonder?

Robin Hood, I can see working perfectly well. The Rogue Isles would be a perfect place for him to rob from the rich and give to the poor. I'm not so sure he'd use bow and arrows though. At the time those were the weapons of war, so there's no reason why he wouldn't update to use the current height of technology, with he and his merry men staging ambushes on Arachnos with laser rifles.

Crowley's soul would probably be in a Oranbegan crystal somewhere.

Merrick would probably be much better off, since Mutations tend to come with some useful benefits. Maybe a Superstrength and Invulnerability Tanker called Elephant Man!

All of the ones mentioned so far (and pretty much all legit streaming sites) do that.

Wootles McBootles!

Thanks!
