Dacap posted:Isn't it kinda trivializing the near apocalypse of the world and almost total genocide of France by referring to it as "that Nazi thing"? I guess this mean we get a magic undoing at the end of Fear Itself. I hope I'm not spoiling anyone by this point, but Fear Itself killed essentially the entirety of loving Paris. In gruesome fashion, yet. If you didn't see a magic Reset button coming once you realized that, then DC has desensitized you to massive body counts or something.

Yeah, I think kind of a major thing was that there wasn't a Planetary version of Wayne/Batman. That's why that last form Bruce turned into as the reality shift hit it's peak was essentially Planetary Batman-- to show us "this is what he'd look like, and who he'd be, if there was one". And then he vanished. Black was just some poor sod.

I don't think there aren't any posters on the top of page two. It looks like they're standing in front of a window on in the first panel, at sundown. I imagine the sun might be familiar.

CzarChasm posted:Let's let them go ahead and not gently caress up the Carol Ms. Marvel movie. If they can do that, then it's open season on Kamalah Ms. Marvel. Though personally, I think I'd rather see her get in on the Netflix action and get a series. It's not realistic, but a man can dream. I don't think her power set really lends itself well to TV like, say, Luke Cage or Daredevil.

I was convinced there had to be more, but it really was only Synch, Skin, and Mondo (who somehow managed to turn evil twice, because clones). Not that Jono, Paige, Jubilee, and Penance/M/Penance/whatever had a great time of it between then and now.

I'm hardly an authority on Batman's history but Hatter's always seemed to skew on the deluded and/or unwell side of the rogue's gallery, rather than the overtly malicious. Misguided empathy doesn't seem unusual.

For future reference, the answer is "not having to think about what constitutes white culture, because you're so constantly inundated with it that it's like trying to pick your favorite drop of water from a fire hose on full blast".

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.

Much like most businesses, the owner is a poo poo bird but the employees aren't always. And then Sami showed up on Raw a few weeks later to be part of a real lovely segment where he paraded around dudes in dresses and passed them off as another wrestler's sisters. The dude is probably a shitbird as well.

biracial bear for uncut posted:I know somebody says this every year, but 2018 is the loving worst. 2018 is the year I stopped lying to myself and accepted the fact that I'm transgender, lost 40 pounds, and found joy and direction in my life that I couldn't ever conceive of before; I feel like I actually have a future for the first time in my life. It's honestly been the best year of my life, even with all the garbage going on in the world. I don't say that to diminish all of the poo poo happening, or to invalidate or refute the suffering of others for whom the year has been less kind-- just to remind y'all that there is joy and there is progress and there is happiness even in this shitshow, and that's what you have to hold on to and focus on. I'm tired as gently caress and maybe (probably) this post is less clear in writing than it was in my head, but the point is don't let the bastards grind you down.

TwoPair posted:Avengers 34: Captain America is at the end of time being told (by 3 different versions of Kang the Conqueror) that if he wants to save the world he has to let Tony Stark and the Illuminati carry out their plans and blow up alternate earths. This kind of encapsulates why I don't really like Cap. For as much of a compassionate dude as he is, even at his supposed best, the dude really is just "I have the power to do what I want and gently caress the consequences or bigger picture" kind of power fantasy. This is some rugged individualism kind of bullshit that only gets a pass because it's Captain America and we know the story will turn out that he was in the right, because he's Captain America. Like, obviously superhero comics are not exactly the place to go if you're not fond of great man theory, but god drat if it's not the entirety of Steve Rogers whole rear end.

ImpAtom posted:I don't really agree with that. It's a power fantasy but the power fantasy is being able to stand up for your beliefs even in the face of people arguing they are implausible/unrealistic/childish. Yes, this can be twisted into horrible beliefs, but that compassion is at the center of why it works. It isn't 'great man' theory, it's the idea that you don't have to bend or compromise on what is right in favor of what is easy. Again, I'm not talking about the other dudes and their "we must do this awful thing because it is necessary" crap; that is also garbage, but it's garbage everyone knows is garbage, so quite frankly I'm less concerned with it. Cap, specifically, irks me with his spiel because it comes off like prioritization or triage is some sort of "lesser of two evils" poo poo, and that he's justified in this because he's Captain America, Marvel's conscience-- like it's some kind of noble goal that he's not thinking about where and how he could do the most effective good.

gently caress it, maybe it's just me. Cap irks me from top to bottom, not the least of which being by draped in a flag, it's entirely possible I'm reading too much into it.
