ken levine is too busy shutting down his company to start a new, smaller one and focus on making more story focused, replayable video games like *scrolls down list* oh i'm sorry it seems like they haven't released a video game in the 6 years they've existed

My brain says, they did it in a comic once, with Ghost Rider's penance stare on Galactus. But, because Galactus is a force of nature, beyond good and evil, and beyond regret for inferior things it didn't work?

Open Marriage Night posted:It’s based on a story where Doctor Strange uses a spell to cause a similar effect on Galactus, so it was easy to substitute him for the more 90’s appropriate Ghost Rider. There were two waves of Ghost Rider figures in 95-96, and this was all we really got of him in the cartoons. I think they showed his face once in a episode of X-Men. I believe there was a cartoon in the works and that was going to be a backdoor pilot. Then the guest episode in the Hulk cartoon was going to be the backdoor pilot. Then it disappeared. But the toys were cool as gently caress

Quick question: when Ghost Rider wasn't on screen in the Fantastic Four/Hulk cartoon did all the characters ask "Where is Ghost Rider?"

Here's the first: I didn't know that the world needed Sean Connery to play Aquaman before playing Freedom Force, but now it makes zero sense for him not to have a Scottish accent. Also the Martian Manhunter needs to be voiced by a Kurtwood Smith impersonator (or I guess the real thing) in all things That game had such a great voice cast. Alche-miss, sugar!

sticksy posted:Not only that, it was mind-blowing to me the potential of how good X-Men could be based upon that opening sequence/Japanese intro but that level of quality never made it into the episodes themselves. XMTAS wasn't especially "good," I guess, but it was ambitious as all hell. The first episode throws tons of characters into the mix, there's a season-long arc right off the bat (the "Previously on..." segment of the second episode is about as long as later season Game of Thrones episodes), and towards the end they tried--badly, IIRC--to tie into the latest comic stories. I never appreciated until coming back to it how successful the strategy of "the X-Men are a thing, now let's meet twenty of them" was.

My kids (6 year old girl and 4 year old boy) been watching the Spider-Man cartoon on Disney+ and while both are into it I wish they made a superhero cartoon show for little girls. Something like Ms Marvel would be perfect for this but nope, only dudes get their own show. Edit: anyone know if the Marvel rising cartoons they got an the D+ need like any comic knowledge or something? Cause they got a lot of teamups and stuff which would be a neat way to introduce the kids to a couple more characters. Shai-Hulud fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Apr 7, 2020 |

I don't know if little kids still like Steven Universe but most of the cool super-powered characters in that were women too.

How Wonderful! posted:June Brigman rules, and her Marvel work is such underrated and beautiful work, but the panels of Wilbur and the fighting Wilbur babies are her magnum opus. Thank you for loving June Brigman. I think, if I remember an interview I read, that Power Pack came out of Louise Simonson (she was Simonson at the time?) wanting to do a superhero comic with actual children and no one available at the time could draw children that looked like actual children except for Brigman. fake edit: found it, can confirm: quote:Nrama: How did your collaboration with Louise Simonson flourish with concept for the team? This isn't the thread to hash it out but man, Shooter encouraged and nurtured a lot of great talents and ideas.

also if you read Power Pack, it is loving insane what those children went through; Louise was just brutal on every book she wrote, but man, to think that she created Power Pack in order to see them through such trauma (tied into Fall of the Mutants! sure! yes, why not!) is pretty wild. real edit: oh yeah and the time the Marauders, whose name I can't believe has been rehabbed for a hero book, mass-murdered a bunch of innocent sewer-dwelling mutants

I think the worst example of kids drawn badly in comics is John Romita Jr's 9/11 issue of Spider-Man:  Not art related, but it also features this page which is some revisionist bullshit, all of these guys have likely committed atrocities on this scale or worse:  Literally, in some cases. Here's Juggernaut celebrating knocking over the WTC:

The only one I could see even caring about the world trade center is Fisk because: a. He is a New Yorker through and through b. He hasn't committed near the same amount of murders as Doom and Magneto who pretty much blow up buildings on a weekly basis.

That’s some pedantic bullshit, and is embarrassing. It was a serious issue but I think people take it too seriously, for good and bad. It wasn't some long drawn-out stroyline, just a one and done. Like it's clearly the creators working through their grief (grieving through their work?) and trying to express how beyond the pale the act was. Also, while the subject matter is morbid, the art was amazing. People remember Doom crying but the issue had some incredible JRjr panels and pages.

As far as poorly-drawn children are concerned, nothing quite proves June Brigman's point like the final issues of Power Pack. The first time I saw this cover while looking through back issues, I thought it was going to be some kind of confusing flash-forward with the kids as teenagers. The kid in yellow? He's supposed to be about 8.
