CapnAndy posted:It's funny either way. Either Peter's pretending to be a supervillain for laughs, or Otto's legitimately trying to be the good guy here but just doesn't quite get it. I've decided that Pete's just suffering some kind of brain damage and/or insanity that causes him to think he's not entirely himself. That seems to make it acceptable to me.

Devi posted:Sif was getting pissed about being dismissed as a woman or treated differently because of her gender in a few other places. If Heimdall was trying to suggest that she change her life to something more secure, he'd have suggested that she take up smithing or any trade. But he tells her to get married. That's worth a punch in the face. That helm is cool and all, but it didn't seem to do anything to protect him from what I gather was some sort of roundhouse punch.

    For DC Comics'9-11 special Stan Lee and Marie Severin produced an allegory for the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan starring anthropomorphic animals. When the Elephant King's magnificent cathedral is bombed by evil terrorist mice, he travels to their lands and stomps them in their warrens. I found it very ironic that Stan Lee chose to use an elephant, because that's the worst animal to use for hunting mice. You need something smaller and more precise, like a ferret or a terrier. An elephant will just trample everything except the mice. I'm not sure if Stan Lee was making a deliberate but subtle commentary on the American invasion of Afghanistan. The story seemed pretty sincere and uncritical on the surface, but then again an overtly satirical attack would have been in poor taste in a tribute book.

There's no irony in the writing so I doubt it's any kind of satire. The elephant is the symbol of the Republican party and considering Bush Jr. was in office at the time that's likely why they used it. e: It is funny taking this work into context that elephants have bad eyesight. In the aftermath of 9/11 we sleep with one eye open but it happens to be blind. al-azad fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Dec 28, 2012 |

Holy poo poo. No, there's no way that's not dripping with critical subtext. Do not handwave it as mere imagination. That loving elephant looks evil as gently caress and the narrative is so bizarre. I mean, gently caress dude, look at what the loving moral is. What kind of horrible lesson is that? This is crazy.

It evokes WW2. The Japanese admiral who bombed Pearl Harbor remarked that they had awakened a "sleeping giant".

FAT BATMAN posted:Holy poo poo. No, there's no way that's not dripping with critical subtext. Do not handwave it as mere imagination. That loving elephant looks evil as gently caress and the narrative is so bizarre. The only critical subtext is the really terrible Muslim allegory. When I read Bifford's description (before the rest of the pictures were posted) I could never imagine the mice would be depicted as awfully as wearing the mark of the beast, sticking dynamite up their asses, living in garbage dumps, and executing masked mice with a shot to the back of the head. There's no irony that indicates it's a satire. The elephant isn't depicted accidentally crushing as many "innocent" mice as "evil" mice. We don't see the good animals persecuting and beating the good mice because they confuse them with the evil mice. We don't see the good animals unnecessarily occupying the evil mice's land, patrolling their warrens long after the threat is eliminated, or subjugating their resources. No, the dirty mice kill the good king's people and he stomps the gently caress out of them before everything returns to normal, just like real life. Right? If it's a critical piece then it's a really bad one. It's also a really bad story, I can't believe they allowed that in a book.

Double Dragon #4. As Billy and Jimmy Lee take on a giant dragon, a mysterious, mustached man identified as Stan shows up to give them the advice needed to destroy the beast. The two are a bit cautious about how this guy knows so much about their powers.  The greatest reveal.Marvel's Double Dragon is high on the list of comics that were better than they had any right to be. Dwayne McDuffie writing most of it is a good reason as to why.

Baron Bifford posted:I think it's telling that Stan chose to use animals and have it drawn like it was a children's story. It's America's childish view of the whole affair and how they thought it would play out. You're really intent on molding that story your way, aren't you? You're doing quite well, aside from coming off like a nationalist tosser. This derail is awful and you should stop adding to it, Christ. Now back to funny panels.  I dunno if it's worth putting in a link instead of an image, but I think it's old enough to avoid spoilers. I don't read DC, so I don't know about the context, but the simple fact that, for some reason, Superman and Wonder Woman hooking up means the death of Booster Gold is hilarious to me. Image from Justice League International Annual #1. Or so I'm told. edit: Added new image with previous page, I still have no idea what it's all about.

Superman and Wonder woman hooking up is just generally an awful idea. Erasing Booster is just another thing to add to the laundry list of reasons not to do it.

It's a fine idea. Everyone knows Superman will end up with Lois, so you mind as well play around with the idea of Superman and Wonder Woman hooking up until it's time to move on. Character growth and all that.
