Granted, Stan does love alliteration when coming up with his characters' real names, but at least that name's (usually) hidden from the public. Who at DC is responsible for the horde of "Power Description" + "Gender Pronoun" heroes?
They're all horrible, but "Matter-Eater Lad"? Really? Bad enough it's a lame power, they couldn't hit up a thesaurus and give him a halfway decent name? -

Mutants wouldn't be hated.
They aren't for the most part (metahumans) in DC, but man......Marvel was very nasty to them.

Quote:That was just being true to the comics.. Aunt May was always depicted as being a member of Peter's grandparent's generation, rather than his parents, going back as far as I can rememberOriginally Posted by Mr. DJ
Sally Field bleaches/colors her hair, she's already in her 60's...
I see no problem. Hell...in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon, Aunt May looked more like Grandma May...
Or everyone in his family just waited way late in life to have kids. -
I haven't been reading Ultimate Spidey, but apparently May and Ben aren't as old as they are/were in 616. IGN described them as ex-hippies, which means Field and Sheen are just about the right age.
Though it does make one wonder...why spend Sheen cash on a character that should be dead at most 20 mins into the movie? Also...why why why do another origin of Spidey movie? -
Quote:Wow....was that supposed to be Superman or a character from "The Starlight Express"?Originally Posted by Mothers_Love
You know what?, in retrospect I'm actually glad Nick Cage is Ghost Rider. Things could of been worse.
Sooo much worse.
I'm glad this was shortlived. Stick to what you know Burton.. stick to what you know. -

I just can't believe that people are letting this ruin their view of the movie already. Makes no sense to me.

Yes, but that toxic byproduct has useful chemical properties that means a new form of life could flourish to exploit it.
Though I am willing to hear if any of the waste we produce is actually in any way useful to life since only things that are outright harmful or a serious hamper spring to mind.
While I am also loving the "off-topic" posts, this was an excellent post to read, and an apt response to the thread's original intentions
I like playing with alignments.
On the point of our waste becoming useful, give it time. We've only been here for a second or so, relatively speaking. That whole oxygenating the planet thing was a *long* time a go. -

Just because it's alien... it doesn't mean it has to be this bio-organic-glowy crap.
Also... I'd like to know whose advertising department bought that award for them. Seriously, not all that many people even *know what a Green Lantern is*. It can't seriously be the most anticipated movie.
They're not saying the most anticipated movie by everyone, just among the people in the demographic that would be watching Spike's Scream awards. I guarantee you every single one of those people knows who GL is. -
Quote:People complain about post-production 3d. things that are filmed and intended to be in 3d from the start people generally have no problem with.Originally Posted by BrandX
Wow, really?
Okay, let me get this straight, people complain and complain about 3D, then they go see one of the worst possible movies ever in 3D, and make it #1 at the box office?
-
Quote:They made a point of noting that it was *shot* in 3d, and not just in 3d (post production). I don't think most people have a problem when the movie was shot in 3d...its the post production conversion that sucks.Originally Posted by BrandX
I think it looks like a fun movie
Not going to say it looks to be the best film ever. However, I would think most would be complaining about another movie in 3D. -
Quote:true, but I was thinking more along the lines of people that just don't have the economic means to have a choice....like say, a lot of the tsunami victim from a few years back, or the folks in HaitiOriginally Posted by Forbin_Project
You are right. Criminals who have been arrested don't have that choice, but they gave up the right to choose when they decided to break the law.

*Some* people choose where they live. -
Quote:Daniel Tosh is the comedian in question...and that was closer to a paraphraseOriginally Posted by Misaligned
I disagree.
With enough money, you can essentially "buy time".
Win the lottery - You can now quit your job. You have just gained 40 hours (or more) a week.
Get a job making 2x what you were, but requires you to work 50 hours a week instead of 40. You "lost" 10 hours of time a week, but you can now afford vacations and things that will allow your time to be more suited to how you want to spend it. Therefore increasing your happiness quotient.
To quote a comedian (who's name I do not know):
They say money can't buy happiness! Well, to them I say "Just try and look sad on a Jet Ski!"
If you get rich enough, you pay other people to do the things you don't want to do, thereby freeing up even more of your time for things you want to do. I'd say that in almost every circumstance, money > time
Also - Money only matters to people who don't have it. Like me.
"Money doesn't buy happiness." Uh, do you live in America? 'Cause it buys a WaveRunner. Have you ever seen a sad person on a WaveRunner? Have you? Seriously, have you? Try to frown on a WaveRunner. You can't! They're so awesome, it's just throttle. People smile as they hit the pier. Because you forget, you need gas to turn. It goes against your natural instincts. Some of you aren't laughing; we all miss your cousin, but not laughing's not gonna bring him back. He's dead for a reason. He was a show-off, and he tried to spray us. "I didn't wanna get wet!" I yelled at his mother at the funeral." -
Marvel doesn't have the film rights to some of their biggies...X-men, Spidey, Fantastic Four all belong to other studios currently. But i don't know if that includes animated movie rights.
Of the ones i've seen, i've got to give the nod to DC. Bruce Timm is generally involved and he's been handling those characters in that medium since the 90s. -
Quote:I like that Skull had to point out to Cap that maybe a teenaged sidekick isn't the best of choicesOriginally Posted by Tymers_Realm
Here we go...
Micro-Ep #15 is up. Cap Part #2.
Cap & Bucky get caught by Hydra. The Red Skull also monologues for a bit.
And what The Red Skull plans... isn't pretty...
Thank you for the time... -
Quote:Before your time, but google the live action Spidey TV show from the 70's. I think you'll revise your "worst spiderman anything ever" nominationOriginally Posted by Lucky
Ok I got what you mean. Though I am a sucker for bad movies though, I liked both the First Street Fighter(yes the one with Jon-Claude van dam) and all the mortal combat movies and Mario Bros I kinda liked also but that just may because I was like 8 when it came out and you know kids. I can't comment on Plan 9 from outerspace though never saw it.
I think cause I am just such a huge spiderman fan that I was so highly dissappointed with it and how they basdardized it and Venom. Lets just agree it's the worst spiderman anything ever done. -
#11 and #12 are up now..Thor vs. Loki in 11, and the aftermath of that fight in 12

Quote:Superman like, but Gladiator's powers and abilities are directly related to his self-confidence. If he feels doubt, buh-bye powers...so any psy powerful enough to insert a seed of self-doubt in him could take him out...hell, a good enough con-man or therapist could do it, without powers even. Supe's losing to a psy would be from an actual mental attack.Originally Posted by Anti_Proton
Definately psy. Reminds me of when a possesed Charles Xavier totally owned Gladiator, one of Marvels Superman-like characters.

Well we won't have to watch the first episode at this rate.

It was accidental, but Greg did have his demons, (like a lot of the really good comedians) talked about it last time he was on the Opie and Anthony show. He was talking about how he'd managed to get a handle on em for the most part...

didn't see it yet, but as far as dad's headshot bleeding but not the palm...
The skin on your palms is just about the thickest your skin gets, and has more give behind it when compared to head skin. So along with theories about how his power works, there's that bit of basic human anatomy...plus, even little head wounds bleed a hell of a lot -
I wasn't sure when I first saw the chopper pilot in the beginning of #7, but by the end, completely convinced. It was Wild Bill from GI Joe that Hulk ripped the launcher from. What convinced me was when Hulk wrecked the chopper...you see Wild Bill parachuting safely to the ground. Out of his wrecked helicopter. The machine that flies by rotating blades right above the cockpit.That only happens in GI Joe

Quote:It's not just the size, like I said. For me, at least, there needs to be a certain look...more of a cartoonish, exaggerated look I guess ( that goes along with the size...otherwise it just comes off looking silly. And I don't know if that look would mesh with what CoX has going.Originally Posted by Lightslinger
I think ultra-big weapons and armor would work fine in this game. City of Heroes is nothing if not eclectic. I can team with Fae creatures, zombies, silver age heroes and post-apocalyptic, time traveling robot ninjas at any time. Why would someone with a really big gun or sword really be that out of place?
Of course it could be done, but I think it would end up looking like that show Drawn Together...various art styles trying to coexist. -
I played WH40k (an obvious inspiration for the aesthetic of Darksiders) so I may be biased. I like the look...but I don't know how it would mesh here...not so much the size, but the chunkiness, i guess, that is a part of making weapons and such of that size work. I don't think upscaling things would work with the look in general of CoX.
edit - The gun was called "Mercy", btw

Quote:Yeah...just mentioning a political figure doesn't make it a political diatribe.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
... with complaints that made no sense. The character's entire rant list was incoherent and he absolutely shut down any debate or legitimate discussion. That was the running joke: That it wasn't political. It was personal.
