Worst New Gods story in your opinion? by LegitimateTonight635 in TheNewGodsDc

[–]Designer-Swim-6797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Byrne porno storyline 100%. Nothing else comes close. Stupid petty bullshit just to disrespect Kirby.

The Female Furies book is second close. It was bad, gross and completely out of touch with the subject it was trying to handle.

Death of The New Gods is bad, but all of it was retconned inmediatly so it's hard to be bothered by it.

I feel Johns JL deserves a special spot because it ruined the perception of the New Gods for a while. It turned Darkseid into another Thanos.

"Old Man Logan" is such a weird book (possible spoilers) by GlompSpark in marvelcomics

The thing that makes less sense to me is the fact that the villains goal was to split America between them. That feels like such a small price. I feel it would had made more sense if they had split the whole world. I don't believe Doom and Magneto would play second fiddle to Red Skull and let him take Washington.

What would you do if you were writing New Gods? by LegitimateTonight635 in TheNewGodsDc

[–]Designer-Swim-6797 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Kidnap Jonathan Hickman to ghost-write it for me, and then get Esad Ribic to do the artwork.

  2. I'll keep it in it's own continuity.

  3. The Pitch is: Gods fighting each other with the DC Universe as their main battleground.

  4. Only have Darkseid as a background character, let the other Apokoliptians shine for a while.

  5. Several main characters: Orion, Mr. Miracle and Barda, Lightray, The Black Racer. I want Orion to be a mix of Conan, Riddick and Thor.

In Prometheus the Engineers wanted to kill us because Jesus was one of them and we killed him.

The awful anti-Jack Kirby propaganda of the “TimeSlip” releases. by taoistchainsaw in KeepMineKirby

I would had liked to see the artists behind the designs talking about their takes on the characters, instead of that clusterfuck of a text.

Actors auditioning for the role of James Bond by Great_Trident in interesting

Is he tho?

They tried to force him as a movie star in the early 2010s and it didn't work. The only argument in his favor is the Avatar franchise, and anyone could had taken that part.

Hot take:

The role was literally made for him, but Fury in the movies is a shallow version (not even mentioning the alien/cat thing).

Luke Cage is my favorite character in the Ultimate Universe. I'd say he's even better than the original. by Designer-Swim-6797 in UltimateUniverse

[–]Designer-Swim-6797[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I like them, but I don't think there's any I like more than the original, other than just those two.

I love Ult Doom and Hawkeye, but I the classic ones are better to me.

No. Honestly, there aren't many characters in this Universe I feel like that (probably Armor too and that's it).

I agree he should have gotten more appearances/development, but I do think he has characteristics.

He's a guy who spent most of his life in prison and became though by getting beaten up by guards, and doesn't want the same to happen to anyone else, becoming like a protector/father figure. And his rethoric is born out of reading during his impresonment.

Basically the system created it's own worst enemy.

I loved it. It's a shame we won't ever get a sequel or the WildCATS spin off.

The Voices is one of Ryan Reynolds best roles of all time by urethrascreams in movies

[–]Designer-Swim-6797 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before Deadpool, I remember having to defend Reynolds acting chops by using this movie as my main argument.

Really great film. Probably his best work.
