I think within the Thunderbolts they made that distinction, it's just that over in Spider-man the government was Turbo Hitler. Civil War was, ironically, not edited enough! Or, more likely, wasn't edited correctly. A consistent tone had to be maintained to make the thing work, and that's the opposite of what we got.

Much like actual comics, the dross quality ratio is skewed towards dross but much less so than a couple years back.

I don't think Galactus is being petty so much as after all the times Earth's heroes prevented him from eating it just waltzing in and chowing down would be a major anti-climax.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:What happened to Scott's control of his optic blasts? It's in that arc of Astonishing that Emma tells him that he subconsciously let go of his control and it never was about a head injury he sustained, but after that he eventually goes back to the visor. Scott talks about how it's really exhausting to keep the blasts under control, so he wears the visor most of the time to let himself relax or stay focused. Then post AvX he can't even shoot them in a straight line.

To be honest, I like the conflicted Namor look so much because Smug Namor is a matter of course but seeing him upset that he has to play the badguy again is much rarer.

prefect posted:You've got a point there. I'm a little bummed that he seems to be emotional and angry. I like him a lot better when he's distant and unemotional. It makes it so much more impressive when he does actually let loose. (Annihilation #6, which I'm sure is in this thread already.) To be fair, Galactus started out distant and was just finishing up now that Earth is dead, but after so many issues of Thor punching him in his face (Which, by issue 23, is no longer there) he's gotten pretty frustrated.

Wade Wilson posted:Yeah, considering the lengths some things had to go to kill J'onn in other stories, a simple heat vision burn isn't going to cut it. In Morrison's Rock of Ages storyline Desaad smashed J'onn atom by atom in a particle accelerator because how else do you torture a shapeshifter? Why the answer isn't More Fire is an exercise for the reader.

Beforehand. That was the capstone of Joe Kelly's Justice League book, which was after Mark Waid who was after Grant Morrison with a writer or two in between. It was also loving great, but I'm a pretty big Kelly fan.

videos guest-starring Elijah Wood and Ron Howard, has a very cocksure demeanor that indicates someone whose capacity to sound right far exceeds their capacity to be right, talks about superheroes which just plain pisses some people off, and there are unsubstantiated (to my knowledge) rumors that he does lovely PUA things at bars with no success and has some sexist/"nice guy"/MRA/what have you views.

To be fair, it's totally fitting that a character from a Spawn comic would awkwardly shoe-horn half mocking half misunderstood christian stuff into whatever they're involved in. Spawn's the Japanese RPG of comics after all.

prefect posted:No reason you can't mix mythologies. There was a really good Incredible Hercules storyline back in the day about various pantheons fighting each other. I mean, this is all about a character from a book where there was a grand revelation that Jesus was actually a lady and also God's Mom. And also Satan's Mom. Compared to that finding out that there's an offbrand christian stick of the world tree called HEVEN seems right at home. The entire book feels like they're taking the piss out of Angela's real world origins in making her in-universe one.

The Flash looks to be putting the armor into the speedforce which is of course a place where whatever bullshit you need to have happen happens.
