There's nothing badass about a psychopathic killer alien effortlessly slaughtering everyone within tendril's reach while verbally stroking himself

That's not petty, that's nostalgic. He's like "Ah man, now that's the Earth I remember! It just wouldn't be the same without some shiny bug trying to sting me before I stick my paw in the honeycomb."

What I'm gathering from all of this is evidence for this issue, if not this period, of Power Girl to be discussed in the Worst Runs thread.

Gavok posted:It's actually heavily well-regarded and is seen as the best run for the character. So far all I've seen is loads of T&A, a hero blasting someone's arm off to show they mean SERIOUS BUSINESS and the hideously overused glowing heat vision rage-eyes on a Super-person trope. The high point of a nadir ain't that impressive.

redbackground posted:And I had such high hopes for you. If the book is generally much better than this outlier, I'd love to see some of that. It's hard not to feel a little jaded after seeing some of the hallmarks of one of DC's worst (i.e. current) eras appear in a supposedly great run on a character that already has a history of being mishandled. Also I realize judging a whole book by a few pages is really dumb and I'm a dumb dumbo. McSpanky fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Apr 29, 2014 |

One Punch Man is pretty much keyframes for animation at this point, I don't see the problem.

RandallODim posted:Yeah, as someone who likes Doom the not-complete-monster, I'm still much more inclined to take that as Doom managed to bullshit the god of seeing through lies than I am as Doom legitimately having altruistic motives. Yes, the most interesting Doom is the Doom who truly believes he has altruistic motives, because his intellect is matched only by his ego and he's actually convinced himself that he's the hero of his own life story. He's the ultimate product of an ends-justify-the-means mentality, the monster who wears a cloak of humanity. Waid just decided to express that more literally.

The MM DLC that added his arcade ending mentions him faking his death or going into hiding as the Atlantean archivist so it doesn't really contradict what we saw in his Year One appearance.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Man, not posting pics cause the entire issue counts as badass, but Injustice Year Two #22 just made me yell "HOLY gently caress". This is a pretty impressive evil badass moment, because it shows how far down the rabbit hole the character's gone with a minimum of gore and bodycount but maximum  twist factor.

I think we've reached peak power creep when characters are casually tossing off powers and abilities that overreach the most extreme limits of known physics. Doing blatantly inexplicable stuff like flying and reading minds is one thing, but now they're just wiping their asses with the things the rest of us rely on for a stable spacetime continuum

Grendels Dad posted:Not as egregious as the examples you posted, but every X-Man can become a teacher by having lived in a school for a bit. At least in that case you can assume they're being accredited offscreen and we aren't seeing it because it's boring minutiae compared to their adventures, it's not like you need multiple PhDs to teach kids. And do private schools even need formal qualification for their instructors?

Cooked Auto posted:Well obviously it should then be about one of the lesser known departments of SHIELD, namely cleanup duty. Because someone has to go out there and deal with all those things and it sure aint the heroes because they're too busy being heroes so that job falls to average Joes at the SHIELD Clean up - Exosphere department. I would totally read a SHIELD Gravity special featuring decades of supervillain doomsday devices going off in LEO after the Red Skull spills coffee on his old Nazi space station V3 console or something.

I don't have any problem with how that fight went, but I think Taylor's dialogue would've been more personal and less the cliched (less generously, hackneyed) "I'm a better fighter!"/"This time I'm going ALL-OUT!" stuff.

AdjectiveNoun posted:That sounds like a hell of a lot of projection, honestly. The Batman>Superman idea is much more easily explained, and has been done so already on this page. It's gonna be hell to find now that "Batman vs Superman" is a search term for a movie, but a year or two ago someone wrote an article about this and discovered that in actuality, most on-panel Bats/Supes fights are less "Batman totally pwns Superloser" and more "Batman uses a rare/one-shot advantage to hang in there until Superman comes to his senses, and usually admits that it was a stalling tactic at best". It's pretty much DKR alone (and that obnoxious "Batman with preptime > ANYBODY" meme) that's given everyone the perception that Bruce has a snowball's chance in hell of doing any serious damage to Clark.

And really, so does the writing because it's expecting the audience to be dumb as gently caress to believe what Panther's saying there, or even believe that he believes it and can be fooled by Surfer putting on a show.

I love a villain who's got a practical backup weapon, because there always comes a time when your grandiose plans fail and your unstoppable powers are neutralized and then you just gotta cut someone.

Bloodly posted:God knows. Even Dark Knight Returns had Joker being smart more than a fighter, though he did break his own neck, which is....work. MK vs DC wasn't a particularly good game but the fighting style they made for Joker was perfect: a combination of really annoying low-damage slapstick, rhythm-breaking and space-controlling prank gags turned up to 11 and the occasional string of savage punishment out of nowhere. It was the essence of the character in videogame format.

Ashcans posted:Oh, that's not an unreasonable complaint, yea. Rogue's powers seem to work on everyone though, she had even stolen Thor's before so it's at least consistent. Exactly, if Rogue can absorb from Thor I don't see why she can't from Juggernaut. One's a straight-up god, the other's just juicing off one.
