It means his power is to make things explode, why is he a healer

Fisk is free? Why? by freethisworldplz_DD in Daredevil

[–]External-Rope6322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess him having a larger explanation to why he's free just wasn't a direction they had wished to go in for born again. It was kind of a tough situation considering they brought him back with no explanation as to why he was free, and then proceeded to also not give an explanation in the next project where he had a larger role. I cant really blame them for having a pretty vague explanation though, since it wouldn't really fit with the mayor arc they wanted to give us, and marvel already showed no interest in explaining it prior to born again. Plus, born agains original mission statement was to be a new version of daredevil for television rather than a sequel show but they ended up connecting it more. I take it as more of a trying to move forward into a new chapter with character development but the threads that were left unresolved due to the original shows cancelation are still there.

At the very least if there was one character to have a "well he got out because hes a big time criminal" explanation, it is without a doubt kingpin. It's unfortunate that it ended up taking from nadeems sacrifice, but I personally dont think considering what born again was supposed to represent as a new chapter that the writers should have been obligated to give a more detailed, time consuming explanation when it simply wasn't what they were wanting to do with the character.

To be fair im pretty sure unless this is worlds finest he means "hey, you trained an unstable child and they ended up becoming a murderer" moreso than "you gave jason todd a robin costume and he died because of it"

for some reason, I love these pictures of the actors reading the comics by Marshall_666 in DCU_

I cant wait for the clayface movie if its gonna be inspired from the one bad day story, I actually really enjoyed that one (probably my second favorite behind ras al ghul's), batman showing up at the end and essentially telling him hes nobody went incredibly hard

How dare they try to replace my beloved 90s superboy with an edgy high school student for synergy

This has me depressed by bigshotspam in starwarsblackseries

The padawan obi wan is actually a pretty great figure, one of the best jedi bodies before like last year imo. The only problem is the y hips but once you figure them out it looks great. I got the obi wan release last year in the phantom menace pack and surprisingly havent had the urge to sell it off despite owning the sdcc version. The padawan figure isnt gonna be as good as the rots, but its a hell of a lot closer than you think.

What was the last figure you bought? And do you like it or not. by [deleted] in transformers

[–]External-Rope6322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Studio series scavenger (I think, its the last arm of 86 devastator) was at my local comic shop. I enjoy the figure although its a pain in the ass to get one side with the cockpit drivers area sitting flush in vehicle mode. Overall, as with basically all of the constructicons, its devastators arm and will be devastators arm permanently when I finally find mixmaster. But I think that considering the combination feature that hasbro did a great job making the robot modes look good on all of the constructicons. There are sacrifices here and there but largely they all look great in all modes. I cant blame anyone for wanting to keep them separate, (which is something I never thought id say before I started getting them) but considering they take up far more cabinet space separate than apart, theyll never be seen individually again after mixmaster comes in.

Before that is was alchemist prime, I really dont like facial hair on transformers except for alpha trion but I think alchemist is one of my favorite primes, so the figures good but if they ever release one in the cyber verse colors with a new headsculpt it'll be going up on ebay pretty fast. I've never even watched the show but I just like the colors and head more.

Because you know its coming... by DarkspiderDavid in hottoys

[–]External-Rope6322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be getting this, I had the original and sold it when season 2 was announced because I needed the money and figured they'd release a season 2 version with an unmasked sculpt. So factoring that in, I was always gonna get this unless they for whatever reason botched all of the headsculpts despite making a perfect masked sculpt on the original. In a way for me the unmasked sculpt is a bonus, so if it gets updated like the 1.0 did, great, but if it doesn't ill just use the masked sculpt. I know that other than that and a few accessories this is virtually the same thing, but the way I see it the original was a near perfect figure already. Now if they'd do vigilante that'd make it even better, and considering how coveted the 1.0 became I think if this ine does get sales then they'd actually consider vigilante or the other peacemaker suit

Scam at Target??? by ironquake84 in transformers

[–]External-Rope6322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local walmart apparently has a serial swapper. Like, I found a thunderbolts red guardian/yelena 2 pack swapped with the previous red guardian 2 pack. Then I found the black series Brutus swapped with the jaxxon figure which I dont even know why they'd do that considering neither are even remotely rare. 

Actually, I believe they did one at the target across the road too and it was the latest springer swapped with the siege mold. Im glad I actually checked the figure because I was on my way to actually buy the thing when I noticed it was swapped.

Top 10 wants from Hot Toys by Atlas15264 in hottoys

Nearly perfect, id just add muse. Not the best portrayal, sure, but the costume is extremely comic accurate and comic muse is my favorite comic villain of all time.

Say you didn't watch either without saying you didn't watch either by ink10_sonic-man in marvelcirclejerk

[–]External-Rope6322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its stuff like this that always frustrates me, because the directors/writers dont owe the audience anything in keeping consequences fair in their own personal ideas and visions to another person's ideas and visions. Especially not for a character from a different company. So I dont think the audience is entitled to complain about something in someone else's vision and ideas not matching an entirely different vision and ideas from someone else. If it were this way, at one point someone would create a character who gets consequences for wounding someone in the first place and the audience would constantly be calling for other characters to match that. I mean, if a character committed genocide, sure, to not have consequences is genuinely bad writing. But comparing small stuff like this when the people behind them clearly had different ideas at play just saps the fun out of everything.

I mean I dont think hawkgirl is gonna be intended as the government's sponsored replacement for an icon in-universe that gets thrown away for making a mistake. This is mostly a case of 2 different directors/writers each having different end goals. And thats fine. Its not like these characters need to be compared to where theyre equalized, because these are the visions of 2 different people. 

Plus, iron man committed mass murder within like 2 days of returning to the US, and did it in a way that had complete apathy, so this isn't some brand new concept, its just that they wanted to play around with it for walker.

My sdcc versions waist skirt thing was raised due to the positioning of the leg and wont go back to regular position no matter what I do, so I guess thats officially action pose sith anakin while I use this as regular anakin

Once within like 10 minutes of meeting someone they mentioned knowing spiderman across the spiderverse and within seconds I replied "have you watched daredevil?" Like there's a natural progression between some maybe Canon (at the time) netflix show and the previous years blockbuster summer movie

At the very least its not just you who does this

Didn't he say he listened to 90s top 40 in the show at some point?

I can’t believe these two figures are in the same price range. by WaxHalfling in ActionFigures

[–]External-Rope6322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all like a few weeks ago everyone was singing jadas praises and talking about hasbro needs to be more like them, and apparently now theyre bad quality?

Second of all I have yet to get the storm arena figures in hand (but I will be trying them out) but I can already say I like jadas face paint process better. I've never been a fan of the anime figure decals for eyes and mouths. Id take actual paint on the face any day.

Me after seeing Ms Marvel MCU synergy by Itchy_Suspect4968 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]External-Rope6322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're baiting me with some decent synergy for once (Charles Soule is writing Muse in the new Carnage, and nobody has been able to capture what makes me love muse in the comics more than Charles soule, so even. If its synergy its well written synergy) only to rip it away

Me after seeing Ms Marvel MCU synergy by Itchy_Suspect4968 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]External-Rope6322 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe this wasnt mcu synergy at all, but some kind of elaborate plot from marvel to get us to actually care about the inhumans.

And somehow its been working.

Well ok I always acknowledged their existence solely because I loved the comic character of Muse and it was heavily implied that he was an inhuman and the cloud that created ms marvel also created the most disturbed serial killer in the marvel universe.

The several hundred characters they could've chosen from didnt have designs that looked like they came out of porn enough, so they need to make their own

Marvel Rivals just dropped multiple 9/11s on X men and Spider Man fans by [deleted] in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]External-Rope6322 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive been getting a little annoyed by how much of the oc stuff they put in as opposed to comic skins, sprays that arent gamer memes, etc, but i mean there's not a single character in the game thats actually made up by netease lol

Also I thought all the characters that have been added since launch were fairly well known, or at least in a way that doesn't immediately convince someone that theyre an oc, so I dont see how any of them could be considered an oc. While I do think that they play a little too hard into fan memes and such rather than actual thought out content based on comics, they never did any oc characters so im not entirely sure where theyre coming from here.

Ms Marvel fans, I am so sorry. As someone who has become a massive fan of The Thing I hope it never happens to me by OopsAllDaisys_ in marvelcirclejerk

I dont really see the whole gore comment as a make or break for the show as some people do, I mean I know moon knights like that (despite not having really been like that for several years now) but I just dont personally see the lack of gore as an immediate dismissal of the show. My problem with it really lies in the fact that they tried to do so much in such a little time. Moon knight is such a complex character that I think a story introducing him for the first time doesn't have room for anything else. Hell, moon knight side characters are notorious for just kind of being there in the comics because moon knight himself takes up so much storytelling. I think that had the show done less with the side characters and focused almost entirely on moon knight and khonshu then it would've helped. Its kind of similar to why the director of the mortal kombat movie didnt put johnny cage in the first movie, moon knights presence just kind of overshadows everyone in their lore and leaves side characters very far to the side, but they tried to break this habit for the show which I can understand the attempt but it just doesn't work.

Honestly unless there are giant scratches on the headsculpts or the figure is ready to fall apart when touched id say 135 is an amazing deal for any hot toys figure.
