In addition to being a comic reader, I'm a wrestling fan. There's terminology in wrestling called "turning face". Essentially it means you become a good guy, either by default because who you're facing is even more of a bastard than you, or because you take a principled stand, because everybody, even assholes, have lines they won't cross. I'm a big fan of the second kind, and JJJ "turning face" in Ultimate Spider-Man is one of the most iconic examples of that in comics history. It made sense. It allowed him to still be JJJ while realizing that he had his limits in a logical way. One of Bendis' crowning moments.

Gaz-L posted:That's one of my favourite beats in that movie, actually. Where Joker goes "I'm not crazy. I'm not." and Ledger delivers it with utter sincerity. There's an interesting theory on the web that the scene you mentioned, coupled with his line about a bus full of soldiers being blown up and society ultimately not caring that much implies that the Joker is an Iraq War vet who was driven to being what he is by feeling used for political gain as a soldier, and he really got those scars in Iraq. It's not a theory with a lot of nuance, but it's interesting.

I like this. You know, I understand what Joe Quesada was trying to do when he erased the marriage. The man has a very specific ideal of Spider-Man. Okay, swell. But I'm of the opinion that if you're gonna make a sweeping change for Peter, why not have him start to garner serious major league respect from his peers and have it stick for once? You have panels like this, or the one where Cap invites him formally to be an Avenger, but they're the exception, not the rule.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Do you get to at least post your preferences as far as characters go or do they come to you with a “hey we’re interested in a X book”? I remember an editor saying once that almost every writer of consequence who's worked for Marvel in his tenure has pitched him on a Dr.Strange story. So I think so. I think it might have been Axel Alonso?

Jiro posted:Krakatoa Face Exploder is the best name for anything. Up to and including wrestling finishers. One of my favorite bits of business from the Fraction/Brubaker/Aja run of Iron Fist is this scene where Danny and Orson are fighting a ton of Hydra, and it's a mostly dialogue-less scene where they gently caress poo poo up while the narration provides names like "Raging Swallow Strike" "Palm of 40 Sorrows" and then one of the last ones is "Brooklyn Headbutt".

jng2058 posted:This highlights why the current system is so hosed up. "We can't greenlight something unless it has an existing audience, or else the risk of failure is too great." Which leads to "But the thing we've licensed isn't what we actually want to make, because its too far from what we think the mainstream likes." So we get "We'll just take the name and as little of the concept as we think we can get away with." And concludes with "The fans didn't like it? Didn't they say they always wanted a movie or show about this? Man, there's no pleasing some people!" It's not even a GOOD procedural. And then, to really twist the knife, Preacher, one of the wildest, seemingly most unadaptable, most offensive longform stories I've ever read, gets a reasonably faithful adaptation that people seem to like.

eliotlucas posted:There's a good Batroc scene at the end of Gruenwald's run where he comes to Avengers Mansion looking for Cap, who is, at this point dying and has but hours left to live. Cap is to tired for a confrontation and invites Batroc into the mansion for tea and the two talk for a while, with Cap trying to convince Batroc to become a hero. Batroc is imminently likable for stuff like this; he has his own understandable sense of honour. He's not going to try and break Cap's ribs when the man is dying, he either wants the victory at full strength or not at all. It made him a fun inclusion in Gwenpool, too. I know a bunch of Gru's Cap stuff is collected in Epic Collections, what issue is this?
