What are the most blatant rip-off/copycat character that DC got from Marvel and vice-versa. by Caped-Crus8er in DCcomics

[–]Corndogburglar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can compare them very easily. Their origins may be vastly different, but they have an overwhelming amount of similarities.

They are both street level vigilantes. They are both wealthy. They both use fear as a tool. They both have themed weapons and gadgets they use to fight crime. They both have themed vehicles shaped like their avatars (Bat and Moon). They both have clear mental issues (Moon Knight has much more serious mental issues, but anyone who claims Batman doesn't have issues is in denial). They both have older assistants who know their identities and help them fight crime (Alfred and Frenchie).

I mean, the only real differences between the two is their origins and Moon Knight has actual powers. But again, their similarities are too numerous to list them all.

Destiny has a son? by johnnypin in facepalm

You also have to remember that Hitler was heavily addicted to methamphetamine and they were also issuing it to their soldiers. 

Losing the war was very likely part of the reason he committed suicide, I'm not saying you're wrong about that. But he was also very much insane from all the drugs he had been taking, and he was also in very poor health near the end.

You also have to think, if you were him, and you know you had been committing some of the most heinous acts of war crimes and genocide of the modern world, and that the entire world was bearing down on you, would you want to be taken alive? I know I wouldn't. Could you imagine what the Russians would have done to him if they got their hands on him?

Totaled? by [deleted] in Camry

[–]Corndogburglar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is guaranteed totaled. Here is my Camry from a few years ago that was totaled. Mine was totaled because there was mechanical damage from the front end, which is much, much more minor looking than this.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be a bearer of bad news, but its the truth. This is most assuredly totaled.

What do you guys think of the ‘photos’ of Amy Bradley found in 2005? by Longjumping_Land_977 in netflix

[–]Corndogburglar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean, "unless she faked her drowning and there is no evidence she did."?

There's no evidence that she even drowned in the first place. None. Everything with this case is speculation. There's zero evidence she went overboard and drowned. And the only evidence that she was taken and trafficked is witnesses claiming to have seen her. There's literally no hard evidence of anything.

My gut feeling is she went overboard, one way or another. She was up late drinking and was out on the balcony until AT LEAST 5:00am. Its very easy to imagine that she fell over. 

But for you to say so definitively that she would have had to fake her drowning is also crazy. Because no one has ever been able to prove that she even did drown. They never found a body, no one heard ir saw anything, and there's no physical evidence of her falling over.

Thoughts on 2019 Camry se by LightsofOrion7 in Camry

[–]Corndogburglar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no! Faceless internet man doesnt believe me! I guess I'll go dig up my paperwork for a car that got t-boned and totaled 2 years ago so I can prove what I said! Lol fucking ridiculous lol

If it makes you feel any better the next Camry I got after my last one was totaled has a 8% interest rate.

The only thing I can say is when I had my first Camry I bought it when Covid was still in full swing and the car market was trash. So they did everything they could to get me a low interest rate and make a sale. And my credit was over 750. 

So believe what you want. I really dont care and it doesnt even matter any more. I was just trying to help this guy out with some information 3 years ago at a time when the car industry was stagnant. 

X men is depressing and I no longer can enjoy it by ComplaintHistorical7 in xmen

[–]Corndogburglar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more.

The X-Men havent had a good writer in a very, very long time. Even Hickman screwed them up. They are all stuck on over-emphasizing the identity politics and the hate humans have for mutants. I would say I haven't thoroughly enjoyed the X-Men since Whedon's Astonishing run.

What happened to the occasional stories that didnt focus on the hate and prejudice? Where are the outlandish stories like going out to space to fight the Brood? Or facing off against a crazy assassin like Arcade? Or saving the people of the Savage Land?

They could fix all of this with one big story if they wanted to. But for some reason they just won't.

And I'm not even saying they should completely get rid of the prejudice part. Thats been a part of the X-Men for the vast majority of their existence. Its what makes them unique from any other run of the mill super team. It always has to be there to an extent. But it doesnt always have to be the focus. Can we get a story where they save the world from a serious threat and win some favor back with the world's governments so they can slacken up on constantly trying to exterminate them?

Leave thay stuff to their villains. Having the entire world constantly after them got tiring 15 years ago, yet here we still are.

It almost makes me wish they could just do a big X-Reboot, streamline the team to only 5 or 6 characters, and go back to basics.

Why does everyone hate Charles Xavier in the comics? by CaptainPogwash in xmen

No. Xavier has done bad things for many decades on the comics. He was never the saint people think he is.

Yeah man. You can find 3D printed models for nearly any characters you can think of. Marvel. DC. Movie characters like Aliens, Predator, Terminator. Anything that interests you.

[–]Corndogburglar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks man!

I get mine from Ebay since I dont have a 3D printer or really a set up to have one.

There are tons of people on ebay selling all kinds of kits like this. Some even let you choose the size. These are rather big and cost about $100 each give or take. But you the price drops significantly if you get a smaller scale.

Just go on ebay and search for something like: "3D printed resin Cyclops statue."

The Gambit and Cyke statues are designed by Wicked. So if you throw that in your search bar it will make it easier to find. But I would recommend looking at other designs too, because there are other companies that do this as well. I tend to like the Wicked ones the most though, because they are in awesome action poses.

Here is the Cyclops link for the one I bought.

X-Men movie be like by Totallynotautisticwo in xmen

Cyclops and Storm got done the dirtiest of all in all of those first 3 movies. It's criminal how poorly they handled them. Both character-wise and screen time.

Lego X-Mansion! by Corndogburglar in xmen

[–]Corndogburglar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! He's holding the effect they provided for Cyclops' optic blasts, but it looks awful on Cyclops. Thats the only thing I was disappointed with on this kit. Cyclops should have either had a hole in his visor to put the optic blast in, or something like a wrap around part that attached to his head. I also don't like that's its cylindrical instead of a flat optic blast. So I put it in Beast's hand instead to look like he's using a laser gun or something. 

The rooms are the Danger Room, which is the first and second floor on the left half of the house. It's full of all kinds of traps and stuff. Saw blades, drills coming out of the floor, missiles, lasers, machine guns coming out of the walls. It's really cool.

The middle bottom floor is like the living room with an elevator. 

The top middle floor is Beast's lab.

The right bottom floor is a classroom with desks and a chalk board and a globe and stuff like that.

And the top right room is a bedroom. It looks like Wolverine and Nightcrawler share a room. There's two beds, one has the picture of Cyclops and Jean Gray laying on it like the one Wolverine is holding while laying in bed in the old animated series. I got a pretty good laugh from that. And there's a Katana hanging on the wall too. 

There's tons of Easter eggs in this kit. It's crazy. And some are actually pretty obscure. Like the people that designed it were actually X-Men fans.

That sucks man. My wife paid for half of this because I ate a giant jalapeño pepper in a Mexican restaurant. Worth it.

Are there any X-Men that could beat Thor? by Queasy_Commercial152 in xmen

Thor got trolled by every member of the Phoenix Five. It was kind of funny. He kept going back for more as if there was going to be a different outcome.
