It'd probably be prohibitively expensive but they really should have put one of those greeting card sound chips in each issue keyed so that whenever you turned to or from a page where Black Dynamite does something awesome you hear the DYNAMITE DYNAMITE.

Was reading the manga series The Vinland Saga and came across something I thought was pretty badass. The series is mainly set during the Viking conquest of England and follows several characters, one of them is Thorfinn son of Thors who used to be a real killer. He spends a good chunk of the series on a quest for revenge only to have it taken away from him as the object of his revenge is killed. In his anger he attacks King Canute of England, who in revenge sells Thorfinn into slavery (lots of revenge going on.) This scene takes place years later as King Canute (who is now king of Denmark too) attacks the farming village Thorfinn has been living in as a slave. In the intervening years Thorfinn has renounced violence and is now trying to broker a peace between Canute and the landowner. (remember, read right to left I also skipped some pages for brevity's sake)

KittenofDoom posted:I gave it up originally because of the ultra-violence and gore. But yes, we were mistaken. The ultra violence makes sense in retrospect as the author is telling a story about how violence changes a man. Thorfinn took his experiences from a lifetime of violence and decided to reject the idea, while Canute went in the opposite direction.

That Qui-Gon stuff is definitely a retcon because Lucas' whole thing with the Force is that there is no "grey" version. Its either Light or Dark, with Light being the natural state and Dark being wrong.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:Hasn't Bucky's WWII escapades been retconned at this point to have been a teenage killing machine? Like, he was doing straight up wetworks for the government because Captain America was the clean image US hero? Pretty sure that the whole Winter Solider arc retconned Bucky to 16 at the start of the war so by the time Cap got frozen he was 21.
