I forgot we had a new thread, so hopefully I haven't missed anything. Anyway, I finally got around to watching Man-Thing and it wasn't that bad.

I mean, I have a huge range for these things because I literally started a club for watching terribly made movies, but overall it was like the best swamp-based horror movie I've ever seen. A full list of gripes would be:
1. Swamp Thing never burns anybody.
2. He kills the only character who doesn't fear him.

and the general gripe that is either your native characters have an intimate association with the land and know more about it than the plundering whites, or they don't. These kind of mystical horrors always like to have their cake by exploiting native myths or involving native seer characters and then oh wow they get themselves killed because they naively think their prayers and rituals do or mean anything to a thing they literally have myths and legends about controlling. It's more insulting than just pretending they don't exist because you're making it an active plot point that their beliefs are bullshit.

On a scale of Anaconda to Howard the Duck it rated a Didn't Develop Alcohol Poisoning From Drinking Every Time Howard Was Creepy Or Made A Duck Pun.

TELL THE STORY

He was an abusive husband and father and an alcoholic. One of his son's chores was to make him homebrew at the age of 7. When his son was 10 he took the family's savings and disappeared until forty years later he was found frozen to a park bench.

I liked the bit where they updated the ethnically Chinese teenager with fireworks powers to a vampire, a creature that thrives only by sucking the lifeblood from American industry.

That game has a lot of weird decisions, like making you fight Uruks and Graugs instead of orcs and trolls,

The game goes out of its way to make this distinction.

Anyone remember what that loving horribly racist golden age comic was where some white businessman had the hand of an "african killer" grafted to replace his own and it was somehow making him evil and it looked like a monster claw for some reason?

At least one of them was Captain America Comics #9, but you're kidding yourself if you think there's only one.

I legitimately think that Hank Pym is one of the best characters in Marvel, and part of that is because he's a superhero that is just shat on constantly - in universe and by readers - but despite depression and an inferiority complex he just keeps on super-science trucking. The only times he doesn't work is when a writer decides they need to rehabilitate (or in the case of Ultimate/alternatives just emphasise the gently caress out of) him being thought of as a physically abusive husband despite having hit his wife fewer times than Reed Richards or Peter Parker.

He's quintessentially a 'Marvel' character in that his story isn't just inventing poo poo that makes his dick bigger as compensation, it's his struggle to be a hero despite being haunted by his past. Removing that past and struggle just makes him a boring shrinkyman that rightfully needs to be succeeded by - get this - a criminal trying to be a hero despite being haunted by his past.

Glover is absolutely great on Community. It's everything else where he's just the worst.

That's not true.

Girls Are Not To Be Trusted is a great sketch, and there's that video of him talking about when he learnt his name was Dong Lover.

I liked all of Community except the parts where Chase was an rear end in a top hat in real life and Glover got real depressed and asked them to put him on a bus.

The Invisibles is how you freebase Morrison.

I look forward to your thoughts on the ending.

e^^^ no because Marvel doesn't have a huge inferiority complex about their competition. DC did make Marvel analogues around the same time as Squadron Supreme but they've never used them again, let alone given them their own on-going.

I don't have confidence in you simply because there's been 15 hours of July already and all you're doing is making excuses about something you had a month to prepare for. Unacceptable.
