It seems like a power really wide open to rules-lawyering. Like is deep-dish definitively a pizza? Can you affect pizzas that aren't sliced?

I just want to understand any language. That seems like a pretty neutral power. E: But I guess I'd have to work on appearing really trustworthy because what if no one believes my alien-world/dead-language translations? Parasol Prophet fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Oct 5, 2016 |

"Yeah, according to these texts everyone from this ancient civilization put on animal costumes before they hosed." Plus, you could be the ultimate programmer, and if you count body language, the ultimate martial artist.

It's pretty cool that these fantastical biological processes in their genes operate in English and respect our metaphors.

When it comes to Min Maxing life the best power for making money is Time Travel. Even without looking at Stock Market manipulation or claiming priceless treasures, all you have to do is win the lottery once. Balm instant riches and no one will suspect anything. Then you can spend your life using that power for good or dickish behaviours as you see fit. Just so long as you don't get a monkey paws version of time travel that doesn't include travelling through space. (In Deadlands a scientist invented a time machine. When he uses it he travelled to the future. And found himself in deep space as the Earth had moved through the solar system and was in a different part of space from where he had travelled to. )

Bob Kane, regarding the gay subtext in Batman comics and TVquote:Batman is the epitome of virility and manliness—just the opposite image of the fag. Wertham read homosexuality into this thing because I had a man and a boy living in a big house together—in the same bedroom—with just a butler and no female around. The doctor read homosexuality into it, through his eyes, but for that matter he also put down the WONDER WOMAN comic as a lesbian invention. Yeah, there's no gay subtext in Wonder Woman at all, Bob. Go on though, let's see how deep you can dig this hole. quote:It was all hogwash but I had to do something about it anyway. So I changed their bedrooms and I added Aunt Harriet—sort of a mother to both of them. Love how this basically takes the aspect of Stan Lee people can't stand, his love of taking credit for EVERYTHING, and manages to make it more poisonous. What else ya got Bobbo?..... quote:Even so, I suppose the homosexuals like the TV show because of those tight outfits Adam West and Burt Ward wear. I imagine they sit around watching them on the screen and slap each other on the knees with the sheer joy of it all, but what can you do about that? I can’t change the characters because they weren’t homos in the first place and because you have to be crazy to fight success. I hope Streranko really did slap the poo poo out of you. Sincerely.

If Bob Kane was alive today he'd crow about how proud he is for creating such gay icons and how he's always supported gay rights.

I guess if you think the epitome of manliness and virility is wandering around in the dark in pyjamas spooking evildoers rather than rippling muscles and spunking dicks then I can see why you'd think it's the opposite of homosexuality.

I mean, I suppose the attitude is a product of the time he came of age, but gently caress's sake, what an awful way to look at something you don't understand.

Some people thought Batman was perhaps a little effeminate due to sleeping in the same bedroom with another man and to prove those assholes wrong I put in a sexless nagging mother figure.

The 50s crusade against indecency was the first time stuff like that started to seem unusual; before, people never thought about homosexuality at all, so there was nothing wrong with little boys wearing dresses or guys being super touchy with each other. It was an era before no homo. Then Seduction of the Innocent hits store shelves and suddenly everyone thinks of Batman like this.

Just a reminder that Bob Kane's tombstone is probably one of the funniest/meanest/dickiest troll jobs ever to be put onto a tombstone.

CapnAndy posted:I sympathized with him in that moment. He can't control his power, it's just always on. Imagine being a moral person with that powerset; you couldn't so much as ask someone what they wanted for dinner without worrying that you overrode their free will. I imagine it'd drive you mad quite quickly. He can though, or at least does when buying the house. Ive actually given some serious thought to what a comic starring the son of one of Kilgrave's victims, who would have the Purple Man's powers but 1) couldn't turn it off, ever and 2) wasn't a mass-murdering sociopath would be like. Because basically it'd be a comic where the protagonist could never, ever speak in declarative sentences. Imagine what life you'd have to lead if you had to police your language to the point where literally everything you ever said was either vague, rhetorical, or a question.

Even in Stan Lee's cheesy comic book biography of himself he doesn't really have much good to say about Bob Kane.

It was an era before no homo. Children's clothing (pink/blue, dresses/pants) and toys didn't become a thing until the 70's due to Madison ave type ad agencies grunt-working for big corporations. It wasn't a rallying cry against indecency, it was "how to do we create a sustainable, reliable, segmented market to sell more shirts/toys/shoes/hats".

It wasn't a rallying cry against indecency, it was "how to do we create a sustainable, reliable, segmented market to sell more shirts/toys/shoes/hats". That's true, but dresses and pants in general were still considered gendered when not applied to children, and were expected to slot into those roles as they got older. While marketing may have separated them in children to begin with, the societal inappropriateness of crossing the streams was a result of growing homophobia and misogyny when LGBT culture and feminism started gaining ground. Always helped along by marketing, though, naturally, because advertisers love that poo poo.

"Fun" fact, they stopped the Noid campaign after a mentally ill guy with the last name of Noid took some Dominos employees hostage because he though the commercials were about him. Senior Woodchuck posted:gently caress Bob Kane. While DC/WB isn't going that far, they have started to actually credit Bill Finger for his Batman stuff. Now in movies/tv shows when they do the whole "created by/based on characters created by" credit they add "And Bill Finger."

spooky like this! posted:"Fun" fact, they stopped the Noid campaign after a mentally ill guy with the last name of Noid took some Dominos employees hostage because he though the commercials were about him. It's "cool" though, he killed himself years ago, and in the last month or so they've quietly slipped the Noid back into some of their ads.

The best part is that the founder of Domino's founded some super-Catholic city in Florida. Yes, he FOUNDED A CITY. It's super homophobic and you can't get birth control.
