Hello, Storyteller.
So, um, I would just like to apologize for my behavior yesterday. I said I would make an effort to be less of an ass, and last night, I failed to live up to that promise. I'm sorry. I imagine I don't have many more chances left before you all throw up your hands and tell me to fuck off, and I wouldn't blame you.

Dude you didn't rant on for 10 hours at least, so it's an improvement. And an anonymous environment is as non-judgemental as any can be; you just drop the argument and post about something else and it's forgotten entirely.
Don't sweat it and don't get shaken up about it. You recognise an unhealthy behaviour, good, but be easy with yourself too.

I know Arcanna is supposed to be Zatanna but apart from her powers she has a lot more in common with Black Canary. When I first read this I hadn't yet read any satellite era JLA so I'm noticing this now for the first time.

>>
>>93391742
Count yourself lucky. I usually make it a point to never bash fan bases, since we're all fans of something, and say and do things we ain't proud of. However, Smash fans? Fuck em. Judging entire franchises solely on representation in Smash. Things only matter if they have something to do with Smash, and even then it's dependant on tiers. Granted, this is probably just /v/, but still, fuck em.
>>
>>93391832
Maybe it's just because the concept is "JLA in the Marvel U" and Doom is Marvel's biggest villain, so it makes thematic sense.
Though of course in practice it's more like "royalty-free JLA with slight Marvel universe connections"
>>
>>93391928
Also because he's usually been Mr. Too Devoted To Work For Romance, it'd be something to see him starry-eyed about it, you know?

Man on the Wall was fine! He does dirty shit Cap can't. He's Wolverine to Cap's Cyclops. it shouldn't be that hard!
and/or just have him as supporting cast somewhere

what the fuck was that CHANGE COMICS FOREVER stuff today???
>>
>>93392074
As much as I like Ewing tripping on the New Universe stuff it actually feels like it'd be a stronger book were it entirely about Galactus. That's where we were aimed from the start and events have sidetracked from it.
>>
>>93392108
can Man on the Wall carry a solo?

>>93392109
the tricky part of course is trying to guess what Marvel might consider a big deal and not necessarily what might be one

i think it depends on the definition of carry a solo? i mean you know right writers/artists and whatnot.
actually it's kinda what Ultimates is doing. man i coulda had Ewing Bucky

Bucky can't and Nick Fury can't so I'm guessing no

That just lends further support to the USAgent > Bucky angle desu. IDK I kinda agree that the other Cap cast do have an inbuilt angle or enough comic book history to build one. Bucky got his story and now he just hangs around.
>>
>>93392179
d-dat...
>>93392179
I mean, relaunches are normative Marvel, but going from Winter Soldier spy stuff to Ales Kot's juvenile philosophy space book to "Bucky and Kobik and those other losers" is a failure of concept to stick
>>
>shipping
Ugh. I wish shipping would just go away. I have no idea why people get so obsessed over wanting specific fictional characters to fuck each other. And the hell of it is, like VS-fags, that one aspect, which is almost never a part of the work itself, is all they fucking care about.
And they usually only care about the actual characters for superficial reasons like design or back story. If I was a creator, and I saw that people were boiling down my work to a dating sim, I might just kill myself. Fuck that.
>>
>>93392211
honestly I don't know if there's that much of a market for spy stuff, I feel like Grayson only sold because of Dick rather than concept
>>
>>93392149
like do they mean publishing wise or story wise or what?
i saw someone make a joke about how Marvel is running for office with how vague their talk is
>>93392211
yeah and I don't really know who/what to blame for that?
a Natasha and Bucky book might be Marvel's best move if they wanna keep trying to make those two characters happen actually.

Alright, let me get my bearings here.
There's the Pre-Crisis LOSH

Johns' LOSH (Retroboot)
And then Shooter's LOSH (Threeboot)?

Other way, Reboot got axed for Waid's Threeboot, and then Threeboot was clearly petering out via Shooter and Johns kicked off Retroboot and they overlapped a bit.
>>
>>93393024
Retroboot came after Threeboot.

>shoot your laser eyes into my chest

>>93393024
TimeSkip and Pre-crisis are the same continuity and Threeboot started before Retroboot but was wrapping up concurrently bc Johns i guess.
>>
>>93392930
No, that's Retroboot, Threeboot was "Eat it, Grampa" edition.

John Walker going Log Cabin would certainly be a thing.

>>93393153
It'd take someone serious to write it, but John Walker's straight-laced Southern conservative self dealing with "I am so head over heels in love with this man" would be great drama
>>
>>93391946
I feel like would not be hard to retcon in some brosex with the BUCs in there, either.
>>
>>93392842
If it was an Elseworlds then we might not have had to deal with the reputation for reboots that followed.
I'm okay with the first part of Threeboot for what it is, but Reboot really didn't need to die for it.
>>
>>93392013
Bucky was better as a corpse.
>>
>>93393195
yeah as a threeboot defender in these threads I basically leave with Waid.
and you're right about reboot's death, right when DnA had put some life back into it
>>
>>93393195
I think it was purely a "let's get a big name to relaunch it for sales" thing and them not really caring about the brand.

So since we're talking about the Legion.
Has their been anymore Legion sightings since The Button?
>>
>>93393258
well part of the reason for it was Reboot had gone WILD and grim dark and gotta go back to basics don't you knowwaid also did reboot
>>
>>93392108
Man on the Wall is a inherently flawed premise that by it's nature diminishes the stories we do see by introducing decades worth of stupid unseen bullshit that is actually more important. It is the worst kind of Retcon.
And one Wolverine was more than enough as it was. Handing out the "Edgier, and with more knives" versions is how you end up with Rob Liefeld topping sales charts.
>>
>>93393323
well i just mean in the most generic sense of him as the Wolverine, like the generic tvtropes "Here are the 5 team member sterotypes" thing.
you're right about the man on the wall as a retcon but going forward I think it depends on execution. I mean it's basically what 00s Marvel Cosmic was. (I was fighting Annilus while you were Civil Warring blahblahblah)

Not quite as COMICS as Monsieur Mallah and The Brain, but close.

It's kind of cute how Tom is among the most accepting of the reformed criminals. He has complete confidence in his invention so he just treats them as straight up good guys afterwards.

The real question is which 6-10 heroes you'd pick out from the roster as romance options.

I saw this, and then thought of you faggots.
Out of previous experience with poor golden age comic scans, I check if the comic scans were good and they're high quality.

I 100%'d the original Lego Marvel Super Heroes.
I've not even completed the main storyline for Lego Marvel Avengers.
Its just not as good as the original. And I don't care about the X-Men absence, shoehorning the game into the Avengers plotlines seems to have stifled the gameplay creativity a considerable deal. Its simply not as fun as the original, not by a mile.
Hoping the forthcoming 3rd Lego Marvel game gets back to its roots.

I liked that the mental programming might've kept these baddies from acting on their badness, but it didn't change their core personality. Quagmire was still an asshole, just not a thieving, assaulting asshole.
(maybe they *should* have included a manners subroutine in the brainwashing)

I always assumed it was the armored Lex from shortly before Crisis up until the Byrne reboot. The timing would be about right.

Then go steal their *immune boosters*, you little moron. Geez.
Also, you have time travel, "soon" is only a relevant as you allow it to be.
Geez.
