Cabbit posted:Holy poo poo, Mole Man's pretty bad rear end. Just because you chump out to the Fantastic Four doesn't mean you are a chump, in fact it pretty much means the opposite. Whenever an FF villain goes up against any other hero you can expect the hero to basically get the holy hell kicked out of them.

If Ult. Peter comes back it'll probably get treated like the Gwen resurrection "You're a clone with all the memories? Well then you're Gwen by every meaningful messure"

ImpAtom posted:Eh. It's tiresome because it basically relies on status quo shields to exist as a story. When the only reason that either A) Superman doesn't deal with drug problems or B) Green Lantern doesn't throw your rear end in jail is "DC editorial says they can't," that's not a very interesting story. Actually that's not even the best defense of it, sure if superman dedicated every day to it he could clean up the drug trade but otherwise he's just clearing them out and it's popping back up like what happens in the real world except faster since drug cartels could roll out super strong enforcers and speedster smugglers. The same principal applies to any organized crime in any comic universe, in Marvel they even go out of the way to show that every mob faction has a cadre of superhuman enforcers.

It's not what I'd call the best place for the "When does intervention become domination?" line. Just as a heads up feeding people with a garden of Eden doesn't intrude into domination Wonder Woman. When they were killing Doctor Doom and Wolverine? Sure. When they were feeding people? Not really.

Tatum Girlparts posted:He's not a mind reader, But he is best friends with one, or was before Nu52. Yeah Supes would face dissension and would end up having to treat us like children but on the other hand we loving act like children. How about we assume dissension is not going to be met with immediate murder when Supes is in charge and would even be tolerated untill it turns violent where they end up in the world's nicest jail. There is a a tiny bit a space between not doing anything and turning into a Nazi and frankly Superman could probably manage it.

Well poo poo for that matter why doesn't Pym start beating up cancer and/or bombarding it with Pym particles. Maybe a solid decade of literally fighting cancer will end the "I'll be the one to really address the domestic violence." plague that haunts him.

Aside from both of them being able to fly it's not that hard to get up after sitting on a cape, there's generally material bunched up towards the lower back that allows some slack and from there you roll to one side and plant you hand, like a fat guy getting up.

It's overplayed because it's the most common shocking death humans see. People fall down all the time and just pop back up with nothing but bruised pride to the point where it's all we expect to happen, so when we don't it reminds us of our frailty more then any other death. You can't write it off as "it'll never happen to me" as easily as other accidents because everybody falls down and you can do it anywhere there's gravity.

I recommend the series it's not as black and white at the beginning as most falling heroes stories are. Supes dosen't just flip a switch to evil and Batman isn't always shown as being perfect. I mean the riot where Dick dies comes off as being triggered by Batman being pissed Superman is in HIS city and interfering. Superman wasn't rounding them up for laser eye lobotomies he was just moving them out of Arkham because it had proven time and again to be as secure as a twist tie.

The Purge 2 counters that by having government agents participate in the purge because not enough regular people were and hinting that it's always been that way. I only know because I watched the purge 2 after being told it was a good Punisher movie.

It felt planned out, he knew he'd never keep Peter dead and wanted some measure of control over it. I also enjoyed that Peter having apparently come back from the dead freaks right the gently caress out about it and the idea that the Oz formula has made him immortal like Osborn instead of the usual "Welp back now time for a splash page and to forget about it completely".

The joke told was so old the standard humorous response was to not acknowledge it was a joke. IE. Why'd the chicken cross the road? Why do any of us do anything? I mean is free will real or are we all just responding in a predetermined manner laboring under the delusion we have any influence in our choices?

DarkCrawler posted:Maybe it's nostalgia considering that his Spider-Man was what I grew up with, but beyond Sins Past and the 9/11 issue I thought JMS's Spider-Man is by far among the best depiction of the character. It was one of the best, most of the complaints are continuity bitching about bringing in the totemic stuff like it ruined the run/character.

It was actually really good subversion of the every contingency is covered Bat-God, Batman strands them in space on the JLA satellite cut off from every government or big news outlet but a three second window of communication to twitter does him in.
