Was this comic actually good, or was it just something fans lapped up because there is literally nothing else to look forward to with the franchise?
>>92029439
The original arcs were better than the game adaptation arcs, but primarily because the original content was given time to breathe while the game adaptations had a mandatory "tell it in 4 issues no matter what" rule that fucked them over.
The book's biggest problems were constant event crossovers that derailed the narrative and ESPECIALLY the inconsistent art quality.
Some issues look as awful as Dark Age Sonic the Hedgehog. Really, REALLY bad.
Overall, it's not bad, even with those setbacks. It's just not great. It's an alright comic, that's it.
I recently picked up two trade paperbacks for cheap (#5 and #6) and was really unimpressed. Part of the problem is likely because they seem to take place between story "arcs", and so there's just a lot of downtime and not much happening: stuff like Roll trying to set up Rock and Quake, or a beach episode where they rescue a cruise liner. The other problem is probably that the first Sonic/Mega crossover happened in the middle of #6, so what would've been a lot of action happening during the release order is just sort of lost. Ra Moon just showed up at the tail end of TP #6.
So while I'm not completely disappointed by them, it really doesn't feel that distinctive from most other similar comics. It's more for the fanservice of the Mega Man characters than anything else.

>The original arcs were better than the game adaptation arcs
Better maybe, but I dunno if they were all that good.
The Emerald Spears were lame and waaayyyyyy overused and the OCs outside of the police detectives were lousy (especially Quake Woman).
The game adaptations are the only arcs that progressed the narrative, so the original arcs always felt like padding with little actually happening in them.
not who do you think would win in a fight or who you love the most or who has the best characterization but who has the best character development?
ok so out of all the x-men these two characters have the best development but who's is better?
i personally think logan because his development has been going on since he was first made a x-men while scott has only recently began to get great development. (then they killed him)
>>92029436
Logan is a hypocritical piece of shit. Hus development makes no sense whatsoever.
Cyclops on the other hand was right.
>>92029499
>Logan is a hypocritical piece of shit
How? And even if he is how does that affect his development
>Hus development
What?
>Cyclops on the other hand was right
I can't sympathize with cyclops because the x-men as an oppressed minority is shit it has never worked and it never will work
Cyclops only because since Morrisons run his development from idealistic leader to leader who will do whatever it takes to save mutants no matter the cost was pretty consistent even into the Bendis era,where he chilled out but still got shat on.Wolverine has been inconsistent since Schism,in some books he's the chilled out teacher whose mellowed out unlike that troublemaker Scott,in others he does everything Scott did from torture,child recruits and covert murder but STILL held a high ground because writers couldn't decide if Logan should be the new Professor X or same old Snikt bub.Scott died consistent to the end,Logan was split between avengers hard man and mellow teacher
What's his name again?
Slicked back?

It's like poetry, it almost rhythms.
Doom is a fucking PUNK.
Everyone talks about how horrible a villain he is, yet every damn one of his reads, at least the ones that I've seen or been suggested to see by /co/, depict him as more of a fucking antihero than an actual villain.
Joker -- Killed Jason Todd, paralyzed Barbara, killed Sarah, etc.
Magneto -- Ripped Wolverine's fucking skeleton out
Green Goblin -- Killed Gwen Stacy, all of the psychological damage to his own fucking son
Doom -- The nigga delivered Reed Richards' child.
His big "act of villainy" there was just NAMING THE GIRL. Sure, you can toss out the whole "oh well he was proving that he could do something that Richards couldn't, he could help his family when Richards could not", or the bs "Oh well he's a classy motherfucker dohoho/he's an honorable villain" crap out there, but when it comes down to it, Doom hasn't done SHIT.
That all being said, Doom crying at 9/11 wasn't any sort of break in character or anything to me. Hell, I would even go as far to say that it was entirely IN character.
What does the Aspect Hope do? In Homestuck, it creates white shockwaves. Is that it?
Does Hope literally mean Hope?
>>92029087
Hope = If you believe in something enough, it becomes slightly less fake
>>92029087
Hope seems to embody both its literal meaning and certain holy powers. Eridan wields powerful attacks which seem to be based on so-called 'wwhite science'. His title, the Prince of Hope denotes both destroying hope itself, as he did by destroying the matriorb, and destruction through hope, which it is possible his white science actually was, especially since they were blasts of powerful white light described as "holy" and "sacred" by Kanaya, as well as Terezi's observation that the light smells "hopeful". Supporting the purported connection of white science and Hope powers is Doc Scratch's line that implies through the angels Eridan learned to "destroy hope with their light". Jake, the Page of Hope, has emitted a huge aura of white energy. The Prospitians also considered him to be providing them with literal hope, so Hope is, at least, literal if not figurative.
An alternative theory is that Hope is the power of belief. For example, Eridan believes in the power of science, which would explain how a mundanely alchemized wand that he thinks is science-powered could be immensely more powerful than the actual "god-weapon", Ahab's Crosshairs. In a conversation with Jake states that he thinks Hope is all about believing in stuff and that if you believe in something hard enough it just may come true. Jake also states that friendship is a HUGE key to being good at hope.
>>92029087
Hope is something Andrew Hussie destroyed in all of us.
I want to get into the DCAU. Where does it start and how many shows does it contain?
Batman TAS was the first installment of it but you can pretty much start wherever you want to.
The verse also includes Superman TAS, Justice League (later Justice League Unlimited), The New Batman Adventures, Batman Beyond, The Zeta Project and Static Shock.
It starts with Batman the Animated Series.
Chronologically, it goes (I believe):
Batman -> Superman -> The New Batman Adventures -> Justice League -> JL:Crisis On Two Earths (was originally a DCAU movie, before the script got repurposed, can still technically work as one discrepancies aside) -> Justice League Unlimited -> Batman Beyond
Static Shock & The Zeta Project are also part of the DCAU (the former roughly around Justice League, the latter around the same time as Batman Beyond), and while Batman Beyond is chronologically last, it was made before Justice League if I recall, with one of Justice Leagues episodes being a tie-in. Basically, watch it before Justice League.
>>92029018
The JLU episode "Epilogue" serves as an epilogue to Batman beyond, but because it's sort of told through Justice League characters, it gets a pass.
Guess whats on CN right now
My new favorite show Teen Titans Go.

I love Lapis Lazuli
>>92197007
That's Aquamarine
Will the CG remember that Lapis can fly in space?
Is Lapis willing to fuse with Alexandrite for the sake of Steven?
Will the result be mentally stable?
Will the result be cute?
You know what really bugged me about Transformers then and now?...For most of the series that I've watched, depending on the episode, anyone of the autobots/maximals and decepticons/predacons would either shrug off multiple laser blasts with a bit of damage, or be in serious condition after one shot. It made the laserfights, the main type of fight in transformers have little real meaning. Unless it was at the start of an episode to kick off a plot, not much ever really occurred...just a lot of missing. So much missing.
>>92028282
This applies to pretty much all the Reagan-era glorified toy commercial shows. They needed action, but they couldn't kill off characters who could be merchandised.
>>92028282
then the bay movies happen and bots die before they even get an introductory scene.
Can't really have it both ways
>>92028491
You know, I watched some of the Bay movies before I became a Transformers fan and I thought they had a lot of issues. but they were fine. Then I became a fan, went through them again, and apart from a lot of moments in the first movie, they totally butchered so many characters and inserted so many unnecessary storylines and did the ultimate evil...they didn't use a vocoder or any similar device for Soundwave.

Here's some more extras.
"-and undo the future that is Aku."
Aku means "me" in my language (malay)
Is this intentional?
Full sentence with translation is "-and undo the future that is Me."
Everytime I hear it, it sounds so epic its like a homage to my nation.
