I started this off with breakdancing robots, but screw it...MOTHRA MONDAY

Jul 06, 2009 13:47

FLIST. So I had a big post planned about Palin's resignation and Robert McNamara's death, but that'll have to wait.

I so rarely get to use my King Ghidorah icon. Below you will see why I'm using it today.

But first! I got sucked into watching the new season of America's Got Talent last week ( Read more... )

epic smackdowns, wry wry wry, mothra, you freakin' pervs, giant stompy monsters, comics, ultraman, cute overload, cats, objection!, polltastic, tv, poll results, she-hulk, beatdowns for peace & love, marvel, augh, robot overlords, kitteh, video clips, epic battles, you tube

Going from epic Mothra-Ghidorah smackdown to Sharky with chickies and duckies sort of gave me whiplash there, Kali.

On the other hand, if there was ever a new She-Hulk series composed solely of Jen going around one-punching the likes of Sentry, Norman Osborn, and anyone else Marvel's male editorial staff is in love with, I would happily buy five issues every month just to keep it going.

Shulkie and Sharky could team up, you know. She one-punches the Big Bads, and he charms the random henchpeople and minions standing around by doing his pittie smile at them or carrying around his latest batch of chicks in a basket. I mean, would AIM and HYDRA henchpeople be so hardened as to resist a smiling pittie wagging his tail and offering them a basket of chicks? I THINK NOT. "HAIL HY-...awwwww! Who's a little dog with fluffy chicks? Hmm? Hmm ( ... )

...I'm totally buying another fifty copies of that.

YOU HEAR THAT, MARVEL? YOU'VE ALREADY SOLD 100 COPIES A MONTH.

*crickets*

*sigh*

Oh, what's the point?

What's that you say, Marvel editors? You're all excited about a new series about how all the Marvel superheroines sekritly want to have Norman's babies? Sure, why not? Worked for Gwen Stacy, didn't it?

*headdesks repeatedly*

(No, I haven't heard any rumors about such a thing, but it's depressingly plausible, isn't it?)

Umm, honey, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... kali921 July 7 2009, 00:29:31 UTC

Um, darling, honey, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...

You HAVEN'T heard rumors? ...You might want to avoid Van Lente's SSH mini, because...that's basically THE PREMISE.

You know, even as I was typing that, I had the feeling it was only going to bite me immediately on the ass.

Somebody really ought to pull these guys aside and explain to them that a guy who finds Norman Osborn strangely fascinating and compelling is not, in fact, being an edgy and daring creator.

He's just being pathetic.

SPOILERS BELOW. PROCEED WITH CAUTION, OTHEWISE 'X' OUT THAT WINDOW, BABY.

Worse? It's Thundra's daughter who wants to spawn with Norman Osborn.

Think about that for a moment.

Thundra. Who would dismember Norman Osborn with her bare hands because he's the type of asshole who killed a woman.

Thundra's daughter wants to have his babies. In order to save the future from being dystopian, apparently.

Seriously, Van Lente, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? I'm SO tired of NuMarvel being All Osborn, All the Time! Now with 100% moar Osborn! With Extra Vitamin Osborn added!

Re: SPOILERS. the_croupier July 7 2009, 00:46:45 UTC

*shrieks*

*shrieks again*

*shrieks moar*

Thundra? Thundra? That's just idiotic.

Norman Osborn is the most implausible and outright BORING character in the entire Marvel Universe right now. Why can't any of these dimwits see that?

The whole Dark Reign concept feels like warmed over 1990s to start with. 'Grim and gritty'? Again?

The only positive benefit I can see from any of this is that it makes DC's formerly unreadable President Lex Luthor stories seem not quite so suck-laden.

Way to aim high, there, Marvel.

DID YOU SAY NINETIES. kali921 July 7 2009, 00:55:16 UTC

DID YOU SAY NINETIES? Why, Brubaker - ED BRUBAKER! - decided to bring a character from Heroes Reborn continuity into Earth-616 over in the Cap book. I feel like I'm being violated by a dildo with Rob Liefeld's face painted on it as a repeating leitmotif of The Unspeakable. I'm all for the occasional "let's take a previously sucky concept/story/character and give them a remake/remodel, but HEROES REBORN. UGH.

Oh, and apparently Steve is coming back. Wow. That didn't even last three years! Steve coming back is fine, though - but if he pulls a Nomad and lets Bucky continue to be Cap, I'll...capslock about it.

Re: DID YOU SAY NINETIES. the_croupier July 7 2009, 01:09:12 UTC

My eyes rolled for a week when Cap's death was first announced. Because I knew I'd be spending the next year or two checking my watch for when they'd inevitably bring him back. Talk about the most pointless plot ever.

The series has been just fine the past couple of years, but that has nothing to do with death and rebirth. Brubaker could have spent all that time devoted to heart-warming tales of an aging Cap coping with heartburn and chronic hemorrhoids and it would have still been better than 90% of what's out there.

At least that would've given us something we hadn't seen before. And with Guice and co. on the job, sister, we would have really seen it.
