This was surprisingly not shit.
I'm not sure why they decided to move him out of vertigo into the new 52 when it had already been going for a few years though
>>83236900
Apparently they realized that, despite the stated reason that Vertigo was where the graphic stories go, they still had Superboy-Prime ripping off arms in the main DCU.
They had Constantine in Justice League Dark from the start, but wanted Hellblazer to reach 300 before they ended it.

And what a ride.
Barry,
You could've stopped hitler

Why didn't he dodge the bullet?
>>83237722
He didn't know it was coming?
>>83237754
Speedsters are supposed to think and sense faster than normal people do. You'd think he'd sense something moving behind him and realize it's a bullet.
I was a bit iffy on her after seeing trailers, but she was a highlight for me. I really liked her performance and characterization. That scene at the end where sheenters Charles' mind and then unleashes the phoenix on Apocalypsegot me hyped as fuck. Her dynamic and relationship with Charles was quite good too.
In fact I liked most of the young cast in the movie. I was never fond of Cyclops and Storm in the original trilogy but thought they were great in this movie, they felt well developed and I actually emotionally connected with them - especially Scott, when hisbrother dies.
Apart from some pacing issues I thought it was great overall. 7.5/10. Weakest of the First Class trilogy, but it feels the most comicbook-ish. Had strong emotional beats (the relationship between Charles and Erik continues to elevate these movies) and some of the best X-Men moments (The X-Men uniting to battle Apocalypse, danger room sequence at the end).
Really looking forward to what comes next in this series.
More Jean and Jubilee mall adventues
Everytime I see her X-Men look I'm reminded of Conan O'Brien
Did she piss off the make up artist or something?
>>83236630
It's not really hard to be a 'good' Jean, since she's such a boring character. Wish they had been a bit more creative withdefeating Apocalypse instead of relying on her mary sue Pheonix Force.

I legit love this goddamned show. I hope that it runs for 10 more years.

HAHA is this a legit artwork from the show?
TTGO is really good half the time but really shit the rest of the time. It's like a 50/50 chance of eating a slice of chocolate cake or dog shit.

Me too, it's nice to have something fun that doesn't try to take itself seriously.

My favorite of superhero comics is the interplay of the character archetypes, the way the arch-nemesis of the hero will reflect the shadow of their psyche, their inner demons and counter points to the ideology they adhere to. The most prominent example is of course the Joker reflecting the narcissistic vanity of Bruce Wayne's alter persona as Batman, but we see this idea reflected in many other heroes and villains. Captain America wielding his shield is a defender of his ideals while Baron Zemo with his sword is a conqueror and imposer of his ideals, Iron Man is a futurist paragon bringing modernity to the world while the Mandarin is the living bastion of the archaic world, Superman utilizes his superior intellect and power over humanity as a humble civil servant where Lex Luthor lords his superiority over humanity as a ruler.
Discerning what these dynamics between heroes and their villains are is the primary reason I even read these kinds of stories. The point of me making this thread is that I want to brainstorm and try and figure out this kind of dynamic for lesser known heroes and villains with you guys just so we can see what we come up with. We don't have to have it all figured out right off the bat, so let's just throw some ideas out there.
The Flash and The Reverse Flash has always been a perplexing hero/villain dynamic to me that I really want to understand in greater depth. The Reverse Flash is among the best in all of comic books in regards to the arch-nemesis league, but I've never had a clear picture of what his thematic dynamic is with the Flash outside of bits and pieces of ideas.
>>83236431
My favorite *aspect, I meant to say.

The only thing I've ever been able to think of in terms of The Flash and The Reverse Flash is Eobard acting as an absolute refutation of the very concept of hero worship. Barry, who is among all superheroes the most square and least subversive character there is, virtuous to the core of his being, humble, respectful, caring, a family man, a pillar of his community and an example for all defenders of the law, leaves a legacy of heroism that leads to his apotheosis as a legendary figure in the 25 to the 31st centuries seen through the Legion of Superheroes and various other flash forwards to the future of DC's earth. Eobard comes in as this man obsessed with the legend of the Flash, who ultimately through his obsession becomes the living embodiment of everything opposed to the ideals constituted by the Flash, a malicious and criminally insane force of nature that lives to rip everything that is good out of existence.
It doesn't matter.

Name an instance where beating up a highly dangerous criminally that's very likely to re-offend and sending them to an institution that has paper thin security and frequent breakouts is a good idea.
>>83236331
When you're desperately afraid of crossing the line and finally raping him like the Commissioner keeps telling you to do.
You are a company who wants to use the character of the dangerous criminal again in the near future.
Good to see you're finally coming around, Batman. We can proceed with my plan immediately.
What's your dream Legends of Super Flarrow crossover?
Don't turn this into more of a tumblr fan thing with a name for all the shows. Moron
>>83236269
The crossover somehow makes everyone hate all of capeshit except for Raimi's Spidey and Nolan's Bats and we have a golden era of superhero movies until I die

Are you stealing Rolf's soul with your film box?!
>that episode where Eddy slowly descends into madness after realizing he is incredibly disliked by everyone in the cul-de-sac and creates cardboard cut out versions of them to make him seem cooler
>I think that Superhero comics were ruined when the artists and writers started taking them seriously in the 70s, the drawings got really serious too.
>When you try to hard to explain preposterous ideas, they lose their charm - and it's even worse when you try to make silly things socially conscious.
Is he right /co/?
Yes and capeshit will be dead soon.
>>83236235
for comics you mean right? Capeshit in movies is here to stay for the next decade or so
>>83236178
somewhat
now that your question is out of the way the thread is likely to devolve to into a discussion about Katie Rice, how much his personal opinion angers other people, and how he can't make a deadline
Who's faster, /co/?
Quicksilver can go superspeed while going superspeed; whereas Flash can make time remnants. Both can be bullshit, but who out-bullshits the other?
Speedforce AKA bullshit LLC incorporated, registered in Maryland
>>83235582
time travel bullshit running into other dimensions. I'm going with CW Flash He was doing QS level shit in his first season.
>>83235582
Flash is way faster
>villain that doesn't give a fuck about world domination
>doesn't end with the heroes assemble to take down the big bad
>a climax that depends more on personal stakes rather than gigantic explosive finale
and yet there's people complaining about why this got better score than other capeshit this year, because Civil War felt more fresh in terms of structure
>>83235312
There are a lot of reasons that this movie is leagues better than Batman V Superman.
>>83235312
Could have done without the Spider-Man stuff which felt out of place as fuck
>>83235312
because they did a comic book movie.
where Zack Snyder was doing "I'm so full of myself in my directing skills"
Really, Zack really takes the fun out of things. The only thing he did right was the joker and he can't take full credit for that.

I've been looking for an animated episode of Nick Arcade with the original Nicktoons cast from the Nickelodeon cable launch. it was 1979, or close to it. Doug hadn't given birth to his older sister Judy yet, but as we all know, he would within days of the episode. the games were green screen as was the style at the time. one was Sonic, that much I remember. there might have been a Resident Evil too, and of course Call of Duty.
Doug, as most celebrity guests were, was awful at the games. he constantly died and then would look at the camera and give a "Dear Journal" speech. somehow. he came in second to Ginger Foutley, which I was surprised to see considering she had killed herself a few years ago. beating a pregnant Doug was still an accomplishment, as Judy was also given a controller and their scores counted together.
since he lost, he was deleted from the show. as in, completely deleted. it was like when a film strip catches on fire. I was scared that he would be deleted from his own show as well, but luckily there were different animators and he did not disappear from Doug like he did Nick Arcade. it was quite haunting though, and I can still hear his screams when I close my eyes.
the animated Nick Arcades were hard to come by especially since most betamax players from that time were damaged in the nuclear war with the Soviet Union. still, I distinctly remember this episode and hope to see it again. I think Doug could have gotten more points in Sonic if he had used the spin dash.
