Quote:Definitely, This sums up my feelings exactly X. (Except the Deadpool part, always been a fan of Nova, who's trapped in another dimension at the moment).Originally Posted by LiquidX
Now, I'll be honest. I don't really care for the Hulk myself, either. However, the problem for me is not that I don't like the Hulk himself, but because I really don't care for Marvel anymore (With the sole exception of Deadpool). And this all boils down to one simple reason: Marvel has pretty much destroyed my ability to care about their characters. Simply put, theres no growth anymore.
Why should I care if a character dies, when they are simply going to be ressurected six months later (Despite however Marvel may insist otherwise)? Or if a character makes a life altering move, when it's simply going to be retconned away anyways (Once again, despite how much Marvel may claim otherwise)? Character gets married or finds a life partner? Hell, their just going to end up in a fridge, or their marriage will be anulled in the most asinine way possible by an editor who thinks he knows better, anyways. So... why? Why should I care? Nothings going to happen, everythings always just going to return to the Status Quo by the end of the month. -

I remember reading about Crusader when I was looking up people who wielded Thor's hammer. I didn't look up all other kids of this what if though. Wolverine and Storm I could see, as those have hinted at being into each other in the past. Overall some odd pairing in there. Such as Captain America and Rogue, guess being super soldier he can survive having sex with the girl who drains lifeforce heh.(Edit: ok I see for the profile:Sarah RogersCarol took over Rogue, that makes more sense to why she'd be with Steve then.) Shehulk and Hawkeye? Torch and Wasp, I picture Hawkeye and Wasp getting together before those other pairing, but I am guessing they were going for what would spawn the right powers for the gimmick or name they wanted to have for the What If. Or they're just going with the captivity rule (see Seinfeld.), trap any people in same environment long enough they'll go at it heh. Either way was like a forerunner for the Next Avengers cartoon. (hopefully those kids will pop up in Marvel's contunuity at some point too.)

I wonder what's the storyline going to be for the change to Fury.

Quote:Maybe they are waiting for a bigger buffer? so they can show the rest of the season in one shot? Nothing is more irritating than getting into a show then have it go on hiatus because the makers don't have enough episodes in the can. YJ is a great show, but I can see why CN is waiting for the right time to bring it back.Originally Posted by Rush_Bolt
This.
Weisman's even said that they have 3-4 episodes fully done and in the can just waiting to be released. Why CN's dragging their feet on it, I don't know.
Why must you ruin the things we love, CN?
-
I'd like to see a mimic powerset.
Whoever you are fighting gives you access to their abilities, would have to be an epic set.
It would be difficult to implement though, and they still wouldn't give us access to Ghost Widow's "I Win!" attack. lol -

Eh, you can get the awesome powers by going to do the patrons.

Quote:Me too since that was my 1st real introduction to the character. They could really fix this by allowing Carol to access her Binary powers only in Space. Just say it's a planet's gravity field that interferes with her ability to access the White Hole that gives her her cosmic powers.Originally Posted by ebon3
Dunno why, but I always liked Carol Danvers as Binary

Quote:Um actually what you do is put lvl 32-35 base IO's in there and get the same bonus as lvl 50 SO's and don't buy anymore til you hit 50. you actually save more inf in the long run if you craft them yourself.Originally Posted by Hercules
8. Increase drop rates of SOs. Yes, I know, I'm one of the few who still use SOs while leveling, but I dont care to use IOs until level 50 (with a few exceptions, such as knockback IOs). Just my personal preference. And someone new to the game will not have a level 50 alt to finance purchasing of SOs from vendors. -

Incidentally, I found it a bit strange that Kit and Kat were the only Cats to have tails (that I noticed).

I have to agree this show was really well done.
Highlights:
-When Clawdius does the "Thundercats ho! (Since Lion-O's voice actor from the original series voiced him)
-The re-imagined concept of Thundera being on third earth.
-Cheetahra's new design and her being one of the *spoilers* was a nice addition.
-Kit and Kat's arc foreshadows where the book of omens is hidden (not a spoiler since it's pretty dang obvious lol)
-All in all a remake done right. Keeping the core concepts of the show while updating the world and storyline for today's audience. -
If they were to do a new show:
- Do it in the spirit of the old show. New kids but the same situation, actually make one of the kids related to the first group. (Hank and Sheila's kid would be obvious). remember the episode where DM talks about other groups he "mentors"?
-The "Requiem" finale used in the new show as a flashback as the related character tells how his Parent(s) escaped the Realm and why they can't use that option this time, with the Revelation that Venger is this group's Dungeon Master.
-Extended adjustment period is good, only the "Dragon's Graveyard" original series episode had the kids in bad sorts with the situation.
Those are the ideas that come to my head at the time. -
Quote:Easy Siegel and Schuster had already done Action #1 and brought it to DC for publication.Originally Posted by CaptainFoamerang
I wonder how Marvel could win this after DC lost their case. o.O
Kirby pitched ideas but never worked on anything unless Marvel gave him the green light. -
I love how DC promotes ethnic heroes, Sexual orientation, and all but seems to have a problem with 2 people who are straight and married to each other and in a dedicated relationship. Marvel too for that matter but at least we still have Reed and Sue. (Had to be that specific before all the Apollo and Midnighter fans troll lol)

Quote:Energy Manipulation Doesn't have a tier 1 immobilizeOriginally Posted by Vanden
I don't think a melee immobilize will work. Every other Blaster secondary t1 is for keeping foes out of melee. Also no Build Up?

-Well the easy out is BAB, He's losing his zone and his death would take the least amount of Dev time to adjust everything.
-Sister Psyche, is a bit of a problem, with the nerdrage over the Spider and now the Super marriage being wiped out, I'd hate to see them jump on that bandwagon here.
- Numina wouldn't effect me all that much since she's already dead anyway.
-Positron would probably be a no
-Synapse, not sure, while do able, it won't have a strong enough impact.
-Citadel "We can rebuild him, we have the technology"
-I actually like the idea of Statesman dying and Manticore taking up his mantle. "The world needs Statesman, more than it needs Manticore!"
-And agree that CoH needs a better "Batman" if it is Manti who dies or takes up Statesman's mantle. -

Actually, that was a very interesting time period. I really liked Kyle's run for the most part.

Quote:The Guardians technically took Carol away from him by her now being the Queen of the Star Sapphires (Since the Zamarons are an offshhot of the Guardians, like the Controllers). Another thing about Hal, I thought I remembered Geoff dropping in an interview that there would be someone who will be wielding all the different power rings at once?Originally Posted by Nericus
Ganthet and Sayd have shown that the Guardians can tap any of the spectrum energies if they wish. They easily shifted to blue after being booted out by the Guardians, Ganthet then becomes a GL near the end of Blackest Night (why does a Guardian need a ring?), while Sayd become teh Guardian for Larfleeze and was last seen looking a bit different due to the orange power.
Here's a thought: Saint Walker tosses Hal a Blue Ring in the hope that he becomes leader of the BLC, despite the fact that blue rings cannot create constructs or fire beams unless a green ring is nearby as hope needs will to fully act. (Blue can still fly, heal and communicate without green). Hal takes the ring and makes it work by hoping to one day become a GL again, reclaim his ring and deal with the Guardians and Sinestro. However due to his formidable willpower, Hal can make the blue ring fully functional and fire beams and make constructs. Remember, Hal was able to make constructs out of the red energy when he was taken by a red ring so he can conceivably fully power a blue ring. Guardians cannot forcibly remove a blue ring as we found out when Hal had one, so that puts him beyond the control of the Guardians and able to fight them.
OR: Ganthet creates new green ring and battery for Hal that is programmed to refuse all commands from the Guardians and sends them to Hal. Hal is again a GL, the Guardians can't just yank his ring away and Hal is able to deal with them.
OR: Parallax makes an offer to Hal.....but I can't see Hal being so fearful over what happened or so enraged that he would accept hosting Parallax for the 4th time.
OR: Hal is so furious that a red ring finds him.
OR: the ION entity decides that the Guardians have lost their way and are no longer fit to guard the universe and merges with Hal to give them the needed power to fight them.
Atrocitus did make a prophecy that the Guardians would strip Hal of what he loves most and that Hal would rebel. Well aside from killing Carol Ferris, the only other thing they could take from Hal is his ring which they have done. -
We also get Ms. Marvel as a member next season.

Quote:lol that's true the show was basically:Originally Posted by Xzero45
lol I wouldn't call old school Voltron "perfection" by any standards.
-Robeast attacks
-Lotor Does Villain Exposition about how he must have Allura
-Lions go out to attack and get butts kicked
-"Let's Form Voltron!"
-Voltron gets its butt kicked a little
-"Form Blazing Sword!"
-Robeast Death
-Some Comedic action / comment
-roll end credits
-only about 3-5 episodes didn't follow this pattern but all the rest followed this formula. -
Quote:I thought this was the biggest travesty ever. They sacrificed the Hawk & Dove series (which was still doing ok sales wise iirc) just so some editor could save face. Then to show how much coordination the DC Editor's had, Dove shows up in the War of the Gods mini a couple of months later.Originally Posted by Mandu
So long as they completely wipe out all the Hawk becoming Monarch/Extant garbage I'll be happy with the reboot. I actually liked Hawk and Dove as characters and was really annoyed at how and why they turned Hawk into Monarch. They didn't do it because it was planned all along. They did it because somebody at DC let slip that Captain Atom was Monarch. Since DC still wanted the reveal to be a shocker they just randomly grabbed some other b list hero and used him instead.
-
Now playing on Nicktoons:
Couple of things to note:
-Story takes place about 10-13 years after the original series (my guesstamite)
-Voltron was decommissioned after an incident where the Lions were sabotaged during a victory celebration for their "final" defeat of Lotor. (Needless to say he gets better)
-Pidge, Hunk and Lance work for Galaxy Alliance.
-Kieth has gone renegade
-Allura still runs Arus
-First 3 episodes deal with getting the group back together and recruiting 3 new members of the team.
-All in all not a bad show (though not a great show either), hate the Animation Style but the CGI Lions and Voltron are pretty cool. -
