Macdeo Lurjtux posted:He in fact did. The Cable & Deadpool series had a long arc about Cable attempting to create an socialist island utopia open to everyone willing to work for the common good. The US sends Cap to try and end the situation but it reminds him so much of the Brooklyn he grew up in that he sticks around a while volunteering and painting murals in his free time. I love that arc because at the end there's nothing any one on Earth can do to stop Cable aside from assume that he'll one day go too far and... enforce peace and prosperity for all? So they call in Silver Surfer to beat him up with his board and then IIRC lobotomize the power increase out of him.

Prob the most memorable part of that arc and the comic book was Fabian Niceiza (the writer iirc) literally making text the inability for anything to be permanent in comic books, as Cable sees his work being ripped apart in universe (because the editors wanted him to be a gun toting badass from the future again), and that making the world change for the better in the Marvel universe is doomed to failure.

Mechafunkzilla posted:Motorsports are interesting but you kind of need to understand that the driving is a relatively small part of it, they're really engineering competitions with a dash of strategy and execution thrown in. I should have gotten that. I watch Forged in Fire without some interest in and a bit of knowledge about blacksmithing, that show is basically "people pounding on metal for an hour." The Cameo posted:He’s in Peter Jackson’s King Kong as Bruce Baxter, the actor who stops being a coward long enough to save the group from the insect pit. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that except that there needs to be more kaiju/monster movies with scripts that are less crap. Who else wants Kyle Chandler for Pacific Rim 3 now? On a different topic, I probably should have watched WW84 prior to reading about it here. Now I'm kind of turned off on the idea. So when I say what follows, I'll own that I could easily be talking out of my rear end. I don't want to categorize what happened with the guy whose body Steve was inhabiting as rape. The reason for that is I don't want to put something that's only possible with bullshit magic superpowers on the same level as, say, Bill Cosby drugging women and then having sex with their unconscious bodies. I think that risks trivializing what happned to Cosby's victims. Or to any woman who got roofied and raped. Or, really, to anyone who's been a victim of rape. If you just demand some kind of "in-universe" rationale for that, figure that the guy's spirit was not present while Steve occupied his body. So once again through bullshit magic superpowers, Diana and Steve borrowed the guy's... "meat car" for a while. That isn't good or ethical, exactly, but it's not something that needs to be defined as rape, either, I don't think.

So they call in Silver Surfer to beat him up with his board and then IIRC lobotomize the power increase out of him. It's been a while since I've read it, but I think you're mixing up arcs. With Silver Surfer, the story was that Cable's powers were overloading and making him a god, but he knew that it would eventually kill him. Cable figured he would force the world into peace and prosperity, which made him a target to the hero community. He predicted that the X-Men would go after him with Deadpool on their side (he was immune to Cable's mind-reading, making him an asset) and he'd ultimately die a martyr and inspire people to be better in the aftermath. He didn't foresee that Deadpool -- who hated his guts at the time -- would betray the X-Men because he actually believed in Cable's mission. The utopian society came after the fact. The downfall came from some X-Men villains invading. Cable and Deadpool had to blow the island up because the computers had a lot of info on the future that couldn't get into enemy hands.

Grant Morrison did a similar thing in Batman Inc, iirc, as did Gillian (sp?) with Loki Basically change is going to be incremental at best and usually gonna be wiped out anyway in the cycle of nostalgic fanwank. In other news, I know this is a snyderdome thing but honestly it pissed me off so much I wanna share it elsewhere too An interview with Zack was published recently about his struggles during the JL production and him losing his daughter. The editor in chief at collider responded with a laughing gif https://twitter.com/DerfelMacGuffin/status/1353800259948961792?s=19 Pure scum

Can I just say that one of my personal pet peeves is "journalists" who claim that they have secret information and won't share it with anyone? Why the heck are you a journalist then? What they actually are is functionally a courtier for the industry they're reporting on.

What could be secret that hasn’t come out that would be toxic enough to warrant laughing at a guy who had a family tragedy? The Whedon stuff was after Snyder left and everyone involved with the production at every level loves Snyder.

The secret is probably Snyder’s original film kinda blew because it was half his and half WB. So now he’s gone back and fixed some stuff to make it really his vision. That’s my guess.

Twitter is good for learning news that's happening in the country and around the world. Like one of the biggest general strikes in history happened in India last year and not a single news outlet picked it up - don't want the unwashed plebs in this country to get any ideas of rising up against their masters. I wouldn't have known of it unless Indian socialists magnified by their allies haven't tweeted about it and it ended up in my timeline.

Fuckin' love social media, where the most obnoxious, stupid members of every demographic become its herald! Yeeeeah baby let's kill each other over Tweets, Big Tech gotta get paid! There's no reason to participate in modern social media in any way beyond "finding funny stuff" which is why I'm still on this forum, participating in a tried-and-true form of social media that isn't even 10% as toxic as that poo poo.

MacheteZombie posted:This is really lovely It is. But at the same time, that Collider guy just had to admit he made a needlessly cruel joke in his apology IMMEDIATELY after he deleted the offending tweet. He waited until the next day, and just vomited out a non-apology directed at fans not getting his brand of humor or whatever instead of owning up to be being an insensitive piece of poo poo. No excuse for the personal attacks against him though, gently caress those people too. Basically, the whole situation is just further proof a lot folk are really loving stupid and insensitive when it comes to dumb rear end cape movies.
