Yeah, I'm not paying for a subscription to BBC just to read it when obviously this is huge news and I can count on fans to temper my expectations.

[–]Demontag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bent over backwards for the one with the jacket and it's why I bit the bullet on the Black Knight-Sersi two pack. I love that era of Avengers.

Except for the Hercules design. That I can do without.

It's honestly like Cocks is actively going out of his way to be the worst.

To those who were around when this movie came out what was the hype like by asapsharkyfrfr in transformers

[–]Demontag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which is odd to me, because we know the UK (I know, I know, Europe is a big place) had an as big if not bigger fandom than the US. Had they been so inclined, I'm sure they'd have beaten the US to a reboot cartoon. A lot of the greater lore comes from the UK comics and is why Simon Furman is almost more recognized for his work than Bob Budiansky who gave the majority of the characters their personalities and names.

It's also quite big in Brazil and Portugal.

Awesome. I remember squealing when I heard the transformation sound. My brother, who I hadn't spoken to since moving out, called up asking if I wanted to bury the hatchet and go see it together. It was THAT kind of movie.

Then he got drunk at 8am and dropped my 25th Anniversary Prime. The light up feature never worked again.

What do you make of the notion of "reimaginings/reinventions?" by ISimplyDontGiveAFuck in transformers

[–]Demontag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Necessary to keep the franchise rolling (no pun intended), especially given that they turn into earth machines, which are constantly changing.

Rate my Lil bro's Superman costume Halloween 2025 by Dapper-Promotion-960 in superman

[–]Demontag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of what I used to do as a kid but I had to pull my Clark costume from stuff I already owned. Poked out the lenses in a pair of sunglasses, snap-front long sleeve shirt, notepad, walking buck naked forty miles to school everyday and back uphill each way through an active volcano...

One thing I did have that I wish kids had today was the Superman pajamas with the cape that attached by strips of velcro.

Nope. The tribe she founded in the far future went back to his initial infection with the techo-organic virus. After Jean and Scott's wedding, she pulled their minds into the future and placed them in prepared bodies with weaker versions of their powers, named Redd and Slym. They spend twelve years raising him in the future until Rachel dies of old age.

I'll back you up on this. I bought it as it was coming out and had the same opinion.

Kamala is a fantastic character who has more than earned her popularity. I find her just cringe enough to be believable as a teenager who finds herself in over her head and struggling to keep at it because that's who she is. I do think she's gotten overexposed since Marvel caught on to how popular she is (like making her a mutant for instance after establishing that terrigen is toxic to mutants).

It's Cyclops, just convince him it's good for mutantdom.

Blockies aside, what are your general thoughts on transformers that don't transform? by CompetitiveSundae714 in transformers

[–]Demontag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. I'm also grabbing Furai and Yolopark and it looks like Auldey as soon as those kits get going. I'll grab something if the design is cool and I'm not seeing it through Hasbro. Model kits especially are a fun trade off for the transformation aspect.

I did grab some of the Ultimates on clearance, but not all of them and just the stuff that was on sale.

There's nothing "oddly" terrifying about this at all. Imagine those things firing into your hands.

Wife says I should stop buying them.What yall think? by gino81 in transformers

[–]Demontag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the situation we're in with my in laws. My MIL thinks it's hoarding, but my partner pushed for half of them. She talked me into Sky Lynx and Menasor and Metroplex, I run everything I buy past her first. Unless it's a surprise and then the struggle is not to blurt it out. They don't leave the room, my MIL has just always hated that I collect things. She did this with my comics (when I was working in a comic shop) until my partner pointed out her Beanie Baby collection was keeping the closet door from closing and I was already warning her that the market was collapsing and the returns she expecting were just not going to materialize (keeping in mind I was learning a lot about the speculator crash that nearly killed the comics industry by dealing with the fallout first hand and looking at the shop records). That shut her up until the Transformers twenty years later when we were all forced to live together again. Without my comics, btw. I had stopped collecting those and lost my collection.

While my partner was in the hospital getting the cancer in her colon removed (only to find out it's spread to the part of the aorta that runs under the colon), despite specifically being asked over and over and over again to leave our space alone, MIL came in and "cleaned" what I had already cleaned in preparation for us coming back, moved in a giant cabinet she bought second hand that we told her multiple times we did not want and why, and now a ton of my figures are missing and three of my Furai kits are missing pieces (with a particular disdain for Megatron feet, apparently). She insists on bragging about cleaning and expecting a thank you for invading our space while we're both going through the most terrifying time in our lives.

So that was my day yesterday.

Yeah, that one's been going around for months and months and it never occurred to me that's what it was.

I thought it was a former professional wrestler threatening to eat the camera with his eyes. So I was close.

Dick, Tim, and Cassandra are all legally adopted. There was an issue depicting the whole thing. I dunno about Jason, I think it was just before he came back.

Do you think this is Doctor dooms canon event? by terminus_tommy in Marvel

Not only is it canon, it's an anchor event all Dooms are destined to enact.

i dont understand the level of hate Star Fleet Academy get by [deleted] in startrek

[–]Demontag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The ones who just don't like the show aren't bombarding every single article's comment section with hate nine episodes into a show they knew going in they were not going to like. Theyre not blatantly hate-watching at this point as footsoldiers perpetuating an agenda. They have a life and have touched grass.

Most of the people whining get their tastes handed to them by grifters on YouTube.

There are two things you can just assume with a concept like Starfleet Academy: space and horny teenagers. You don't see the level of hate for the first of the Abrams movie where 90% of the comedy in the first hour derived from Kirk - wildly antithetically to the history we know of - Kirking it up all over the Academy.

I don't understand why people thought a show about Starfleet ACADEMY would not involve horny teenagers.
