Quote:Anyone who knows me knows I *LOATHE* the trend of putting 3D into movies because they either do it without thinking as a cheap marketing ploy, or they abuse it so it becomes all about the 3D. TRON: Legacy does not fall into either of these traps. This is one of the few movies that makes legitimate use of 3D to ENHANCE the movie. It's much the same way that the original Wizard of OZ used Black and White and Color to help contrast the real world and the world of OZ.Originally Posted by Dr_Mayhem
Just thought I would quickly point out incase anyone doesn't know; Tron: Legacy in 3D isn't another one of those conversions. It is a legitimate 3D film and gives purpose to 3D by having it in use when in the digital world. -
Quote:Really? There was only one moment where CLU looked CGI to me, and that was at the very end. Otherwise, he looked pretty damn realistic, and certainly nothing like a Spirits Within character.Originally Posted by Dollymistress
- Clu's CGI is far from perfect. The creative team didn't make use of the cutting-edge CGI from Avatar, so CLU looks more like a character from Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within than something realistic such as Gollum. At some point during initial filming, the director should have altered the storyline so CLU didn't need to be young Jeff, saving the production a tonne of sub-standard work.
Technology has changed over the years, and it's specifically mentioned that the lightcycles are "new", as opposed to the Vintage one seen later. So of course they are going to work differently.Quote:Also, the cycles don't behave in the same way! :O -
Now they just need to bring in Deadpool/Widdle Waid.

Anything about the new X-Men game?
WELCOME TO DIE! -
I'm currently in the process of having my name legally changed to "Rock Kickass".

Damn, Durakken already got to a couple of lesser knowns that I highly recomend, with Liar Game, Cage of Eden, and Super Dreadnaught Girl, all of which I wholeheartidly second/thirded. And someone else mentioned Azumanaga Daioh and Yotsuba, also high on my recomend list.
Ones that I don't think have been mentioned, but would also highly recomend:
Chi's Sweet Home - Chi's sweet home follows a young kitten named Chii, who gets seperated from her mother and siblings, and found by the Yamada family who eventually end up adopting her. The manga follows things from Chi's point of view, with Chi constantly misinterpriting things. Think Yotsuba&!, only starring a kitten.
Team Medical Dragon - A manga that focuses on many of the problems in japanese health care, it focuses on Asada Ryutaro, a brilliant doctor that's been convinced to come out hiding after he was driven out of the medical world for something he didn't do. Really worth reading.
Bartender - A manga that focuses on a young bartender named Ryū Sasakura, who is said to create a cocktail so magnificent it is called "The glass of the gods". It deals with Ryū as he helps the patrons who comes into his bar. -
Man, I hate it when the Random Post Generator gives the funniest posts to the least deserving posters. It's an insult to us legitimetly funny posters everywhere.

I hear that in the coming months, Quesada plans to reveal that Aunt May cheated on Uncle Ben with Jonathan "Pa" Kent.
Sadly, it'd be the best plot twist of his career. -

There are sneaky gems like that all the way through...and MARK HAMILL is the voice of the Red Skull!
And lord help me...George Takei is Galactus and James Marsters as Mr. Fantastic...I'm sure they do it for young relatives or kids.... -
Quote:Because they are using Garth for something else.Originally Posted by Eisregen_NA
Finally got around to taking a look at this and all I can say is WTF?
Blaqualad? What was wrong with Garth? -
Quote:You know Deadpool is showing up in the Super Hero Squad MMO? Also, the reasons I suggested "Widdle Wade" was because he's shown up in the comics on a few occasions.Originally Posted by Furio
Hmmm...I dunno that Deadpool would be greenlight for this. Different company, I know, but they referred to Deathstroke only as Slade in Teen Titans, and that show's target demo is a few years older than SHS.
I dunno if I could get behind a similar name substitution for 'pool...just doesn't feel right to me...maybe because Wade is too normal a name. -
Quote:Like me.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
The choice is yours, my friend. However if you do win, you could always give the Complete Collection to a friend, or anyone that you think would be interested in this fine game.

While I hate Haikus,
There is one thing I enjoy,
And that is free stuff. -
Until they give us some Deadpool/Widdle Waid goodness, I could care less about the show.

Quote:For the record, Robin is Dick Grayson, Kid Flash is Wally West. But hey, whatever floats your boat.Originally Posted by Forefinger_
I'm assuming that Robin was Tim and maybe we will see Dick as Nightwing at some point. Also, I think that the Flash in the League was Wally and that Kid Flash is really Impulse. It may not be true, but that's how I'm going to enjoy the show.

Quote:But showing Speedy/Red Arrow being a bigger and bigger a-hole as the series goes on and then revealing a drug addiction would be one heck of an anti-drug arc. Plus, Speedy WAS a drug addict in the comics. Granted, it may not happen on Earth-16, but who knows?Originally Posted by Johnny_Butane
I'm not sure they'll go that route. The same writer just did an extended anti-drug arc on Spectacular Spider-Man, so I don't know. I like the idea that Speedy walking helped the Leaguers take a chance on the other kids; seeing what keeping them in the dark/on the sidelines too much can lead to.

I'm hoping that this does well enough to give it an actual series.

Quote:Well, keep in mind that this was most likely the first time that Superboy was outside his tube. He was still developing, and getting used to his powers. Plus, his suit was designed to absorb Solar Radiation, which (Much like Superman) gives him his powers. Considering that he was underground AND it was night time, most likely meant that Superboy wasn't able to access his full powers. Plus, as he trains and learns, it's quite likely he'll develop his full suite of powers. And really, it also makes sense if you think about it, since Superman (originally) could only leap tall buildings rather then actually fly.Originally Posted by Johnny_Butane
-Superboy can't fly, doesn't have heat vision, nor does he seem particularly fast. What can he do? He traded blows with Blockbuster, but then so did Aqualad. He survived a building fall on him, but so did everyone else. They must really be banking on the super-hearing being his niche on the team. And not one mention of 'tactile-telekinesis'.
Drugs'll do that to you.Quote:-Speedy's tantrum and departure was a little forced. I can accept that maybe there was some things going on behind the scenes with Green Arrow and him and this was it coming to a head, but without that development it seemed rushed. I know he's going to be back as Red Arrow, but I hope we get some flashbacks to give viewers a better perspective on his frame of mind at that point.
On another note, I was amused with the Kid Flash/Speedy joke.
"No, Speedy is Green Arrows sidekick!"
"But that doesen't make any sense!" -
Quote:They couldn't bring Wonder Girl in for the same reason they couldn't use Plastic Man for Justice League Unlimited. Because of legal issues they were prohibited from using her. However, those restrictions have been lifted, so she'll be in later. Also of note is that Garth WILL make an appearance, most likely as Tempest.Originally Posted by GreenLantern68
5) I don't really know "not-Garth" Aqualad or Miss Martian well enough to comment about them. Aqualad seems to be the "Green Lantern-energy-projector-but-with-water" guy, while Miss Martian, of course, will represent all da ladies in da house. Why couldn't they have just gone with Wonder Girl...either version (Donna or Cassie)?
He was meeting his clone. I mean, how would you react if you suddendly learned that some secret organization had cloned you?Quote:7) Is it me or did Superman kinda act like a deadbeat dad when he was around Superboy? Just a thought, "Jason-from-Superman-Returns"! -
Quote:Actually, it was already established before the premiere that Robin is Dick Grayson, while Kid Flash is Wally West.Originally Posted by ThePill
For all the random hacking he does in the premiere, I'm just going to assume that it's Tim even if they tell us in an episode differently anyways.

Quote:It's actually set on Earth-16, so theres not really much in the way of continuity that could be wrong.Originally Posted by Mindswipe
EPIC.
Any quibbles with continuity/versions are forgiven when a show is this much fun.
...
Got your nose!
*EDIT*
Also, in retrospect, I'm not suprised the premier was so good. Greg Weisman, creator of Gargoyles and supervising producer for Spectacular Spider-Man, is one of the Co-Creators. The other is the guy who produced the "Under the Red Hood" animated movie. -

Apparently, Firebreather is based on a comic series published by Image Comics. In fact, Duncan (Firebreather) apparently teamed up with Shadowhawk, Invincible, and Zephyr Noble at one point.

So, there's a question that popped into my head a few weeks back. And I've been mulling it over for awhile, and I finally decided it was the right time to ask. My question for the Devs is... Just how do Black Fridays go in a city full of people with Super Powers? I mean, Black Fridays are lethal enough in cities that arn't loaded with people that can set stuff on fire with their minds, break into armored bank vaults with their bare hands, or actually sit through the entire showing of Batman and Robin. So, how are they handled in a place like Paragon City? (God forbid what the Rogue Islands would be like).
