My tiny godly CoX shall burn forever!

quote:


Now here is the really important part. After the fight is over, Cap addresses the crowd.





Gavok's favorite line from this great comic is "Get up so I can knock you down!", which is pretty classic. But mine is "A nation is nothing! A flag is a piece of cloth!!". It's something we could do well to remember in these jingoistic times.

Cap is my favorite super hero, and this is arguably my favorite story about him.

Plus "You're a Nazi smear on the American flag" is a great insult.

I posted this in another thread and have probably posted this here before but it still hits me hard.

Peter and Harry are lifelong friends, we all know this. Harry has been suffering the ill effects of the goblin serum and it's been pushing him further and further into insanity. This leads to a finale confrontation between the Green Goblin and Spider-man

That was my favorite issue of Spider-Man as a kid, and none of my friends understood why I was so excited for (then let down by) the idea of Harry as Green Goblin 2 in the movies.

I get the general idea of what was being gone for with the effect, but it's super-distracting that it's literally just Brock Lesnar on the TV. Like, not even comic-book-art Lesnar, just a still from a real fight.

Hajime No Ippo was so engrossing that pro wrestler Kenny Omega learned Japanese to keep up with it after the anime ended but the manga continued in Japan.

It ended up serving him in his career since he's now one of the most popular gaijin in New Japan Pro Wrestling history, partly because he gives interviews in Japanese.

That's incredibly impressive. Japanese isn't easy to learn, especially if you want to both speak AND read it. He is breaking some stereotypes of wrestlers being dumb for sure.

I AM NOT BEING PAID TO CORRECT OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTS! DONKEY!!

There was a scene in the "Inhumanity" series from a few years back; not sure I can find it.

Black Bolt has had the Voice stripped away from him, and now [someone else] has it. And this is a crushing burden, the other person can't handle it the strain.

so Black Bolt discusses it with Medusa - it's so good to be able to talk to her, and she's just blown away by the fact that now she can hear him - and they agree, he'll have to take the Voice back.

and fortunately, there's another Inhuman who has the power to transfer traits from one person to another. So trait-moving dude gets ready to pull the Voice out of [other person], and shove it back into Black Bolt.

but before he does, Black Bolt turns to Medusa

and he says something really important.

this issue was the first time he was ever able to actually speak to his wife, using words, using his own voice.

he says....

he says "I'M SORRY."

If you watch his English non-in character interviews (aka kayfabe), he's a really soft spoken guy who tends to actually be very polite (he's Canadian, so no real shock there) and charming. He's super likable and his youtube channel (Cleaner's Corner) has some fun videos of him ahnding out some impressive whoopins' in Street Fighter IV.

Is that everything you have?

I feel compelled to point out he's also one of the best wrestlers performing today, maybe one of the best of all time, and just recently had a match that was rated 7 out of 5 by the only real authority of note in the industry (against one of the other candidates for best wrestler in the world).

Kenny Omega is great.

Lost to the New Day at E3! Xavier Woods and Kenny Omega's ongoing video game feud is one of the best wrestling storylines. It crosses countries and promotions!

sorry I don't actually give a poo poo about wrestling and was just making an off the cuff jokey remark that was also a parody of the sexist "hot, sane, single" line people say about women

It was indeed an homage to this (Marvel Two-in-One Annual #7). They even gave Tom Defalco a writing credit for the episode. Rasslor's speech to Monkey as he spares Earth mirrors Champion's exactly.
