  1. I didn't watch either one. Who was driving the thruster propelled speeder?
  2. If the show doesn't do well, I can see the "Turns Out Toxic Fans Can't Handle Mental Health Issues Either" headlines.
  3. I think the Head-Writer said it better. By "very slowly," I think she meant, "once we started." I stopped at ep2, but to me those first two, the above, and Gao's statement in another interview that the writers would sit around in a room and talk about their lives and experiences in order to come up with material suggest these are therapy sessions disguised as a comedic attempt at a simplified reimagining of a decades old superhero they never read. I never found twerking appealing. Looks like immodest people dealing with a lack of bathroom tissue.
  4. I asked Ron Frenz to do this homage to SS#4, and sometime later Mike Royer recreated it on a lightboard and inked it.
  5. I guess I forgot to post this slab. Plus, a Kirby recreation by Mike Royer, and the two hard covers were purchased at one of Mike Royer's garage sales.
  6. Unless the MCU is calling Ms Marvel the first known mutant, (apparently she's a mutant, if I heard it right), I wonder what they're going to do about established character older than her, which would be just about all of them.
  7. It isn't horrible, but (for me) was predictable. My wife kept asking me if I already watched it. I always tell her, "Many times, under many titles." The first few episodes of s3 made me think it was going to put all the girls in the forefront while the boys are made drones, but then seemed to level out. The stoner guy (I forget him name) was too much. He kept saying, "My dude." I'm pretty sure in the 80s people only said, "Dude."
  8. And instead of looking at her new position as an opportunity to be the first in her field to tackle something that is sure to grow, to be a PIONEER in super-hero law, she instead uses it as another opportunity to play victim on some/any level. They could have had her follow Riri Williams's lead by having her take the chance to prove the toxicity wrong. That's a failed opportunity for some kind of character growth in the show. Obviously, the entire legal community knows where to find her. What better way for the writers to make sure her life is filled with outrage than by having her hang out in a sports bar patroned with knuckle-draggers? Time will tell if she runs into a jerk in every/most episode(s) with a bar scene. So far, 2 for 2. The writing is very amateur IMO. Jessica Gao even said, It sure does sound like a well-researched casting hiring, unless she was cast hired for other reasons. I'm sure I come off as though I'm seething over this, and maybe I am. Look at it like a sports fan who waited his whole life for his team to start putting out good gameplay, and for several years they finally do. So, he gladly starts buying tickets for every game and is mostly satisfied, accepting the occasional lapse. Suddenly after their biggest (end)game, it's a few lackluster years of steady decline, and the front office brags about it. The team (source material) hasn't changed. It's all because of the new ownership and coaching staff.
  9. If they used one when she said she controls her anger "infinitely more than [Bruce]," they may not have been able to shut it off.
  10. +1 She's flawless, especially compared to Bruce. She can already do it all. Where is any character growth supposed to come from- The one-night stand we see in the trailers? Should character growth even be expected?
  11. Even faster- When Banner said he was tired of the struggle and pulled the trigger, and "the green-guy" spit out the bullet. Of course, the daily fear of destroying entire cities is nothing compared to being catcalled. And growing up with an abusive father is a picnic compared to being patronized by men.
  12. Here are my 2 copies. The first one was signed by Wolfman at the Sand Diego Comic Fest March 2020, just before everything went nuts. He signed it with his arm in the air because he simply would not touch anything put in front of him.
  13. "awful lot of reading..." Ironic. As I said, and as you missed, "and it may not even be an indication of anything..." This means I acknowledge the paint may not mean it's a female. Relax. And if this is a woman who collects comics and paints her nails black, she doesn't know squat about shipping, so I assume it's a non-collector or novice first. I'm sure that's offensive on some level if someone tries hard enough.
  14. I half expected your reply to this thread to be, "not likely."
  15. It may not matter, and it may not even be an indication of anything, but the shipper's thumbnail is painted black. A collector's inexperienced ex, maybe? EDIT: Oh, this is old. NM
  16. I saw a rumor (fwiw, grain of salt, all that) that one of the reasons it was scrapped is because they planned to bring in Keaton just to kill him off. If that's true, scrapping it was a very wise move.
  17. Does this mean cosplayers who feel empowered by the costume are to be ridiculed? Old news, but is it working?
  18. You can buy mine but I don't think charging double for one wrong hand is right. All five fingers are wrong I'm asking 5x FMV.
  19. ASM1. I have very little interest in the early X-Men.
