Spiderman spider-totem!

I really like the idea of the spider totem. It's just that the few mentions of it have sucked.

Just the idea of Peter being a 100% science type guy having to deal with magic and religion is the sort of thematic tension I think could make some great stories.

Is there a reason all the Giant Men in Ultimates are actually Giant Women?

I can't remember seeing a huge man for ages now? I think maybe in the arc when vampires attacked the Triskelion, but I've blocked most of that from my memory.

OH GOD I MUST FIND A WAY TO AVATARIZE THIS

All will bow down before my hatred of Spider-Man!

I don't think you can. There's so much movement between each frame that there's no real room to optimise it. It only has 8 colours and 13 frames, any fewer and it looks like arse. Any smaller and it loses its effect because you can barely make out JJJ or the spiral effect :(




I'd love to make the head get bigger and smaller as it spins, but that's way too much work for something that will probably never fit into the size restrictions of an avatar.



EDIT - oh god, what have I done! Don't stare at the spot between his eyebrows!

Taskmaster in Osobrne's little cabal was a really interesting take on the character. Sure, he's a 'bad guy' but he just wants a nice slice of the cake, not to destroy the goddamn world. He was so far out of his depth that he couldn't even see the surface.

Yeah, I like to think Marvel's giving themselves a way out on that one. Kid Loki is more fun, but having him still technically be the old Loki means he can still do something evil if they really need a big moment for Thor down the line.

They should make it like Death and Death of Rats from Discworld. Two aspects of the same thing.

I'll be goddamned. I was just trying to remember this comic the other day. I had one of the Creature Commando comics when I was a kid and it was loving marvelous. A werewolf, a medusa, a Frankenstein's monster and a vampire team up to fight nazis :allears:

How do I...how do I "Like" a post here? I got a three hour rant about how terrible, broad, and schticky those movies were, there's not a single human-like interaction in any of those movies and, combined, they are worse than Batman and Robin.

While I agree with most of this, I will defend the first movies' portrayal of J Jonah Jameson to the death.

I never get why superheroes always have to tell everyone their powers in their name. It's practically telling their foes how to beat them.

I can't remember which comic it was, but I think it was an Image imprint, where a new hero found a ring that gave him superpowers and, naturally, decided to call himself the Ring. Luckily for him, he met an older hero who told him to cut that poo poo out because he was effectively calling himself 'Cut-My-Hand-Off-And-My-Powers-Will-Vanish Man'.

The only possible exception to this would be if you were telekinetic. In that case, calling yourself Mr. Shifty would be perfectly acceptable.
