Oh goddamnit. I keep skipping over Sandman panels because I'm still working my way through the tradebacks, and you lay that on me!


It's not your fault. I don't expect you to spoiler a several year old comic. It's just ffffffffff , you know?

The Corinthian was such a cool dude. You know. For a nightmare serial killer.

He's just about the only uber villain I can think of who gets rehabilitated and his conversion to being One Of The Good Guys is cool and makes sense.

But as I said, it's not a big deal. Just motivation for picking up the rest of the tradebacks.

It's just kind of crazy that everyone except him saw Samus as a badass strong woman who can kick everyone's rear end and is feared and respected by everyone, and apparently all of that was an accident on his quest to make games about a vulnerable sexy short lady with PTSD.

That dude is well known for being an incredible pervert. You know he was jacking off to this poo poo the whole time. Japanese culture has a huge elder worship problem, so thats how idiots like him, and the dude who loving up Parasite Eve, manage to get ahold of these projects. They won't just tell them " No, you suck, get out of here."






For those that don't know about Parasite Eve. She was like Samus, in that she was no-nonsense cop that kicked mutated beasts rear end. Well, in the PSP game, he had her mind essentially killed, and the mind of her 14 year old clone go into the elders body.
So, instead of a fighter, the whole game she is cringing and crying. PLUS, the more damage she takes, the more her clothing is torn, to the point where it's just underwear. AND she ends up marrying the dude the first woman was marrying, LIKE HE WOULDN'T NOTICE THE EXTREME PERSONALITY CHANGE

Turning around to knife fight the crazy killer who is supposedly fated to kill you instead of immediately escaping, especially when you're a social worker with no fighting ability, seems more dumb as gently caress than badass but I guess the line blurs sometimes.

Being badass doesn't really mean you make smart choices.

Depending on how low "low yield" is, those people might get away with only being blind if they're looking at the explosion.

There's a similar issue of the Batman Adventures comic (based on the animated series) where he sees what his life would be like if he hadn't lost his parents, and he's just some rich guy. He sees that Gotham has become a crime-ridden hellhole and is horrified, but all he can do is say "Someone should do something!", because he isn't Batman, just Bruce Wayne.

That is completely retarded. A super wealthy person like wayne has waaaay more power and ability to change things, than some rear end in a top hat in a cape.

Batman doesn't give a poo poo about justice, or stopping crime. If he stopped crime, he'd have no purpose. He puts his villians in places they can easily escape because without them, he is nothing.
People die so a rich rear end in a top hat can prance around in leather.

I loving hate that poo poo. So Batman's ok with some hired goons being murdered, but oh no, not the guy in the clown makeup.

Henchmen are replaceable. Without the Joker and others, Batman has no job, has no meaning. He deliberately keeps them alive so that he can maintain his fantasy world of being a hero.

This is like those panels where somebody finds out Spider-Man is actually super-strong and just takes it easy on people because he's a nice guy. :neckbeard:

Spider guy cn lift something like 10 tons, but he has to pull his punches. Most of the people he fights are just regular people in suits. If he didn't, there would be people jelly everywhere.

This issue is one of my all-time favorites as well. It also introduced (well, it was a couple issues prior but this solidified it) the idea of that goofy Bobby Drake as Iceman somehow being an Omega-level mutant and I've been fascinated since at the potential of him as a character and his powers.

Anyone with a mastery over Something specific is Omega level. Well, any sort of force. Sorry, Squirrel Girl.
Iceman, essentially, has a good degree of control over thermodynamics. Like how Magneto should be able to control pretty much anything, not just ferrous materials.
They are just too ignorant, or too stupid to think about their powers.

So, he got murdered because he gave money to Anti-Mutant organizations?
I mean, your normal average person has every reason to be anti-mutant, what with the constant fighting, cities getting destroyed every other day.
How much "collateral damage" in terms of civilian lives are there every day caused by mutants?


So no, this isn't badass. It's killing a guy for dropping a fiver in the Salvation army bucket.
