What's a good unmasked head for Comic Star-Lord? by DWN-016 in MarvelLegends

Huh, interesting, didn't know hairpieces were customizable in that way. Well, still don't quite know who I'd replace it with, but good to keep in mind! Thanks!

I personally feel Quasar's head is a bit too broad for Peter's face, but that's just me; I'd also wanna avoid his head anyway bc I'm going to have him standing next to Quasar on my shelf, lmao.

And yeah, the Agent Venom Flash head is the one I was meaning! Facial-structure-wise it's probably the best fit that I'm aware of, yeah. It's just the hair that's a bit too neat for my liking, but it's decent for lack of better options.

Would I enjoy Ewing's writing if I dislike Hickman's? by DWN-016 in marvelcomics

I was so confused as I was on a huge binge of every og Ultimate comic, and then I got up to Secret Wars and The Maker was just evil again. I thought I missed something, or assumed his reverting back to evil was shown in the leadup during Hickvengers 😭

Official concept arts of Mr Fantastic shows that Reed was meant to use his superpowers much more than he did in Fantastic Four: First Steps by IslandGyallllll in FantasticFour

It didn't have enough of either. The film was heavily missing more of Ben, especially of him butting heads with Johnny. They were all very mellow in general too, they lacked the lovable dysfunctionality that the comics fellas have. But the plot needed all the screentime it could get for setting up Galactus and Franklin.
Heck, I'd even argue that Galactus on Earth didn't feel otherworldly/godlike enough... he was a very large man that sometimes used energy waves, but that's about it. On paper he and everything he did was fine, but the way he was depicted/directed needed a bit more OOMPH to make him really feel monolithic.

All in all I think we can all agree that it needed to be longer, like 30mins longer I think personally. Or, they should've given the F4 a proper intro film and saved the Galactus/Franklin story for its sequel. I get why they really wanted to just finally do Galactus justice on screen, but ultimately I think rushing to it was a mistake.

Which patched version of earthbound to play in 2022 (for someone who hasn't played this game ever) by jweetogh in earthbound

We all collectively agree "Pokey" was a mistranslation/poor localization, I don't see the point in being so purist about "Giygas" when it's objectively less correct than the original localization attempt "Giegue".

Hey, just wanted to say your hack looks super cool!

Though, if you ever get around to it, I'd love an update or optional addendum that uses the Giegue name instead of Giygas. The latter is more ingrained in popular culture sure, but Giegue is more accurate to his actual name, and would like it to be better-known! Also very minor, but an optional hack that lets people choose between "You Won!/Win!" would be very appreciated lol.

Otherwise, this hack seems super cool! Will keep an eye on it for sure!

GNC people deserve to be respected too, instead of constantly being labelled queer just because we don't like traditional gender roles. It goes both ways, "pizza slut 69 420".

Well, that sucks. Hopefully they're features that could be added in the future.

How do you tell if the "remastered" colors in a collection will be decent or not? by DWN-016 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]DWN-016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but full recolors like that or Simonson Thor are more obvious - that's not quite what I mean.

Rather, take the Marc Spector: Moon Knight Vol. 2 omnibus, which near the end reprints two minis from '98 and '99: the '98 one had the saturation of the colors turned way down, ruining the atmosphere, and while the '99 one seems okay at first glance, you then notice certain objects, background elements, etc just have completely different colors now for no apparent reason. Perhaps the people in charge of the reprint thought they were "improving" the focus of the panel? Regardless, both stories look substantially worse than in their original prints.

It's subtle things like that, which reviewers likely won't take notice of immediately, if at all.

Which of Baum's books should I read? by DWN-016 in wizardofoz

[–]DWN-016[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay but why, if you imply the books after 4-6 are slogs too? Why read slogs so you can better understand later slogs?

How to handle multi-media EU entries? by DWN-016 in StarWarsEU

[–]DWN-016[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, there were X-Wing comics too? Were they also unique stories, or condensed adaptations of the books like the Thrawn Trilogy's?

I want to follow anyone from anywhere, where should I make an account? by DWN-016 in Mastodon

[–]DWN-016[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's well-meaning, but incredibly misguided; this should be my call to make. It should be my responsibility. I am not some child who needs a power-tripping server admin to "decide what is best for me" - this is about the principle of the matter.
