When you're talking about removing the only minority from the signature supergroup, yeah, it matters. I'd be saying the same thing about gender if people were asking for Sister Psyche and Numina to be written out.
Given the hullabaloo around the alternate-universe Spider-man dying and being replaced by a black/hispanic kid, maybe NCSoft should leak this to Fox News and get some free publicity. -

Ladies and gentlemen, we have an OFFICIAL in-game inclusion of Brawler in the Phalanx.
Posting the screenshots now...
Sanctioned by none other than Dr. Aeon himself (both the dev AND the scientist)... here we have AE proof. http://twitpic.com/63mve4
In other words, take it up with Sean and have him fix it, or else BAB is an official FP member! http://twitpic.com/63mvnw

You've never seen the stupid arguments the trekkies get into.
But even for Trekkies this is a pretty minor infraction given the sheer amount of wrong happening with this movie. I mean, Abrams and Co. were more excited about the fact they snuck R2D2 into it than anything else. That says it all, right there. -

It'll turn out that the invaders are involved in some larger war and Earth's invasion was simply them using our planet to resupply but now they realize that humanity may be helpful as soldiers as well.
For me, the show was less than the sum of its parts and I stopped watching. -
Quote:You're watching Star Trek, which is even more preposterous than Star Wars, and *this* is what you complain about?Originally Posted by Lothic
Never questioned the potential. Only the implausibility of putting a cadet permanently in charge of a flagship. If Starfleet is corrupt enough to give him a pass and officially give him the captain's chair after a scandalously short period of time that's their problem.
Lens flares are about 17 slots higher on the bitchlist for me. -
Quote:He's not gay. Yet. All they said was "maybe in the future."Originally Posted by darkangel32
dont know if this has been mentioned but they are playing up this new half black/half hispanic to diversify more to a wider audience. He is also homosexual to appeal to the gay crowd. My opinion, while I dont have anything against black or hispanic or homosexuals, spider man is peter parker and if its not peter parker then its not spider man. some things you just dont mess with and Marvel should know that, ruined one of my all time favorite super hero characters with this crap. should of just made a new super hero if they wanted to appear more cultured and named him gay dude or spider dude or anything but dont screw with spiderman.
I really don't see the problem, and I simply don't buy that an alternate-universe Spider-man has to be Peter Parker. He hasn't even been Peter Parker the whole time in Marvel's regular universe.
Since sales of USM dropped off Marvel's top 10 (maybe even off their top 25), most people weren't following it as much as they once were. Selling 25k copies of each issue is a far cry from the 150k it was moving. Maybe it is from desperation that they're doing this, but so what? It's INTERESTING. Which should be the whole point. If people really must insist that Spidey be white, go read one of the other nine books he appears in where he's still caucasian. Ignore the one in the alternate universe where he isn't. -

Caused him to disappear. He reappears aboard the Enterprise, alive and well, at the end of the movie novelization, which I thought would have made a nice after-credits stinger.

which is why

Quote:Did you see the recent theory that we once had two moons and that the smaller one crashed into the larger? Since the moon is made of cheese, it stands to reason there was a cracker moon, too.

There were scientists who believed the moon was made of green cheese too. That doesn't make their belief true or correct.

Best female is Ghost Widow, hands down.
2nd best female for me is Ms. Liberty.
Best male is almost too hard to pick, since there isn't a clear standout as with GW. I do really like Black Scorpion and Recluse among the villains, Synapse and Foreshadow among the heroes. (Although I keep coming back to Coyote. I simply adore that look, so brilliant in its simplicity. It shouldn't even work, but red, white and brown with a touch of black and gray mesh together terrifically.) I think I may have to go with Hero 1 as well, because he really does have an amazing look. Foreshadow in second place.
I'm not a huge fan of War Witch's design, since she's mostly comprised of player-accessible parts other than the hair. It's not different enough, I guess. Noble Savage is a cool concept, but he's rather like teen Titans' Cyborg with the busy-ness of his appearance. Plus it seems like he'd drag that robot leg around, it's so huge. -

it's that way in the iron man novelization, too. It stands for just a really very intelligent system - which, not entirely coincidentally, is the kind of acronym you'd have to be drunk and/or a bit immature to think was clever.

Personally, I think they should do a parallel to the mainline movies using the street-level heroes as we saw in the Shadowland storyline: Punisher, Moon Knight, Daredevil, Powerman, Iron Fist.
Or even go with an "alternate world" thing with a Midnight Sons paradigm: Blade, Ghost Rider, Dr. Strange, Morbius. -
Quote:That very point came up in the comics a few years ago. (Ultimate Marvel, maybe.) Reed Richards doesn't give his ideas away because they can be too easily perverted into world-ending weapons.Originally Posted by Nericus
Actually this brings up an interesting point: Tony Stark has had his eyes opened to all the death and destruction his weapons cause both in the right and WRONG hands, so he orders his company OUT of the weapons business. Ironically he then creates one of the greatest weapons in the form of the Iron Man armor, but there are securities to keep unauthorized personnel out of the armor. (Rhodey was authorized in IM2). But my point is this: will Tony keep the synthetic element that he created from his father's notes in IM 2 to himself?
Yes, he now can take the arc reactor to it's maximum potential and presumably give safe, clean energy to the world.....but SHOULD he? He was adamant that Obadiah not have engineers study the mini reactor in his chest in IM1, and I wonder if now his feelings have changed on the matter? He won't want it for weapons at all, but you know how the military can be about wanting the next best thing to stay ahead in the arms race. Arc reactor powered weapons would be something they'd love to have.
Since Ant/Giant/Butthead-Man apparently doesn't exist in this continuity yet, I wonder if they can use Tony's tech as a basis for Ultron. He's got the suits and the artificial intelligence; all you need is a Justin Hammer-type bad guy to bring it all together. Or even a misguided General Ross. (Side note: I've acronymed "Jarvis" into J.A.R.V.I.S., Just Another Realistic Virtual Intelligence System. It sounds like something Tony would do.) -
Quote:I don't know their histories, but that was the scuttlebutt around Iron Man 2.Originally Posted by BrandX
Are these annoyed viewers, non comic book fans? Because I can't see why they'd find it annoying.
The George Clooney Batman actually had a a line of dialogue that went, "This is why Superman works alone."Quote:I've always wanted to see super hero movies that didn't act like the main character/team and their enemies were the only super powers in the world. Even if it was just mentioning others without actually making a movie.
Spider-man was in X-Men. True story.Quote:During Spider-Man they could easily have a newspaper article or a news clip mentioning Daredevil. -
Good list there.
I think going forward we'll see that Stark's "hover car" technology that was used as a cute way to introduce him will turn out to be instrumental in The Avengers as both the method by which the Helicarrier floats and how SHIELD's flying cars work. (I can see someone saying, "Not your father's Oldsmobile," as they hop in a flying car and Tony responding, "Actually, it is." Zoooom! Alternate: Tony: "Not your father's Oldsmobile." Fury: "No. It's yours.") And wouldn't the arc reactor be a great power source for something the size of the helicarrier? -
Quote:Actually, they do. It's part of the multiverse theory. (As opposed to the Many Worlds thing, which is different.) Hawking (I think it was) even went so far as to say that the math stipulates it's highly likely somewhere in the universe there is a singularity that is shooting out identical copies of everything we know: fridges, cars, favorite aunts....Originally Posted by RemusShepherd
As a scientist, I have to say that no, nobody believes all that.
Quantum Mechanics truly makes my brane hurt. -
Quote:What Durakken is saying is that a number of physicists (including Stephen Hawking) have pointed out that while the universe is infinite, information is not. So somewhere out there in the universe, specific sets of information are repeated, which means there is a planet called Earth with the exact same history and people as ours.Originally Posted by Durakken
Just light speed travel, yeah not likely, but like I said, go far enough and that could be facilitated by any number of means, you could get a planet that is exactly the same as earth down to it's history and the people involved, but if it's just light travel to a close by planet then yeah that's not very likely at all, but that's why in those types of situations it's easy to use something more realistic for people that are sticklers for that type of thing.
Which is mind-blowing on more than one level. Not the least because Durakken said something accurate in this thread.
I kid because I love. Hugs.
