Ren's mask does a terrific job of making him look like a space opera villain instead of a prime wedgie target. e: And back to the important topic: Travis343 posted:Is Ozymandias from Marvel a mummy? He's sort of a stone crypt person. Ozymandias is halfway between an ushabti and one of those enormo statues at e.g. Luxor. (Tangent: In the Dark Angel Saga, one of Apocalypse's titles is "Master of the Seven Seeds". Life, Death, three more horsemen, and I'm thinking that Ozymandias has to be one of the other two. Archangel slots Storm into the Stone Assistant Person role offscreen, so it's clearly not something unique to Ozy Classic.) And  on Apocalypse. One thing I liked on X-Men: Evolution was how Apocalypse's initial design emphasized his mummacular Egyptitude. That needs more emphasis in general.My position is: more mummies—always the right choice. Squizzle fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Jan 30, 2016 |

J. J. Abrams has trouble directing any plot beat or emotion that can't be expressed as an action set piece. You can't blame the actors for that. All super-mummies are by definition good and cool, but I must say: bandage-based mummy powers are the laziest low-hanging mummyfruit.  Just, eeeeeh.

Endless Mike posted:Revan's does that, but not Ren's. The audience would have learned nothing from his face, nor would any of the characters that interacted with him prior to the reveal (which was in dialogue) as they either already knew who he was or wouldn't know, regardless. Well yeah for who he really was but a lot of people thought he was gonna be Luke or something.

No, just that you are wrong and weird and endlessly negative. Edit: If anything she was overly-emotive, not wooden. And Adam Driver was very good. You are just a very tiresomely negative individual.

All of my friends' kids were very excited about Kylo Ren before the movie came out and very excited about Rey after it came out, and, like, say what you will about the grim realities of marketing to children but I didn't catch any of them poring over stills of KOTOR 2 when they were deciding who was going to play who when they broke out the toy lightsabers. As far as I can tell, to the 7-year old brain "lightsaber with lightsabers coming out of the sides" is the dopest thing ever conceived. On a related note Mummies Alive was fine but Skeleton Warriors had the most gnarly and gross looking toys and I always seethed with envy at the kid on my bus route who had them all.

While I feel that mummy/gunslinger is a more natural rivalry (both have to worry about scorpions), this mummy/samurai competition is intriguing. In particular, this samurai's silverness nicely complements mummies' natural affinity for gold.Archyduke posted:If Hawkman doesn't have a dedicated mummy villain the world ought to be ashamed.

I only know Hawkman from the TV shows, so as far as I know, Hawkman is the absolute worst. Hawk from Hawk and Dove is significantly better than Hawkman

Hawk votes Trump; Hawkman votes Kasich but wishes Lindsey Graham had stayed in, and he spent like a week and a half talking up Jim Webb to everyone else in the Hall of Justice. Both are straight-ticket Republicans in the general, except Hawkman makes a big deal about how he sometimes votes for Democrats for things like county ombudsman or city planning commission.

Hawkman voted for Reagan in primary in 1968, then voted for Nixon in the general. Hawk voted for Reagan in the primary in 1968, but in the general he voted for Wallace.

Hawkman thinks we almost know what happened in Benghazi, but we just need one more hearing to make sure. Hawk doesn't really care what happened in Benghazi, he thinks that America shouldn't have embassies in any nation unless that nation already unconditionally loves/sumbits to the will of America. (I actually haven't read much if anything with Hawkman or Hawk, I just know them mostly through the Justice League cartoon and the CW DC shows, where Hawkman is annoying, boring, and ties Hawkgirl down with his boring plots, and Hawk is just really bland to me)

Hawkman voted for Reagan in 2012 and when told that he was dead winked and said, 'Not in my TRUE timeline!'. E: Hawk is Reagan but only because people figured out he was supposed to be Captain Atom. Black Lighter fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Jan 30, 2016 |

Hawkman calls all Asian people "Chinese", describes Hispanic and Latino people as "Spanish", and says "the Blacks". Every time Hawk says anything about minorities, his brother gets very very upset, so he tries to avoid those topics when he's sober.

I actually just recently read the old Hawk and Dove comic, and it's not bad. Hawk is a pretty fun character. There's this one weird arc where they go to a crazy fantasy world, and an old wizard due is like, "we call this memory metal, it can take the shape of whatever the wielder desires" and hawk says "I hope you got a lot of that stuff" and the next page he's leading an army of the fantasy people but now they have helicopters and machine guns.

My favorite thing about Hawkman is that he lets the Atom hang out on his shoulder. It helped Hawkman stand out when he was looking useless next to Superman and Green Lantern.

It broke Aquaman's heart every time someone would say he was the joke of the Justice League when Hawkman was standing right there next to him. The cartoon making Hawkgirl interesting tricked people into thinking Hawkman was also interesting when he never was. His backstory is such a convoluted mess it's a wonder he's not a Summers brother.

Hawkman's dope. the Golden & Silver age stuff is great (and the Silver age stuff features some of Joe Kubert's best work), the Geoff Johns/James Robinson run's really good, the Palmiotti run after that is good too as i recall. never read the Hawkworld stuff but i've heard good things. he's basically Indiana Jones but flies around and clubs people with a mace, what's not to like?

Hawkman was cool when he was in a comic called Hawkworld (seriously check out the mini and ongoing) but sadly he is no longer in a comic called Hawkworld so he is no longer cool.

The problem with the Hawkpeople is that their power is "can fly" which is pretty worthless when just about everyone else can do it too.
