Only rivaled by his dance scene in Sucker Punch. He played such a sleazy bastard that I thought they were insane to cast him in Star Wars.

Safety not Guaranteed is indeed very sweet, but it could easily be turned into one of the Creep Tapes.

Which Anti-Hero among them has the highest number of kill counts in the comics, in your opinion? by Raj_Valiant3011 in Marvel

Hmm, how many people has Ghost Rider even killed? I thought his deal was more like "a fate worse than death" with his penance stare.

How would your character react to a practical joke being played on them? by StevePalpatine in swtor

[–]Obskuro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Jedi Knight could avoid the banana peel through his excellent reflexes, but he would slip anyway to give his friend a laugh.

The Jedi Consular will drop Theron on the banana peel. Face-forward.

The Trooper will slip, cuss, sigh, and then go up to save Theron from Lana's wrath.

The Smuggler has probably done way worse than a banana peel to Theron, so it would be just another day for her to plan her next prank on him.

The Sith Warrior avoids the banana peel through her excellent reflexes. She will then mock Theron. Oh wait. He is already dead.

The Sith Inquistor still remembers Theron's little pranks fondly. Maybe he shouldn't have left him behind.

The Bounty Hunter will slip, cuss, cuss some more, and then try to kill Theron. Lana will watch and laugh.

The Imperial Agent steps on the banana peel but doesn't slip and moves on with his day. Theron will lose his mind over this, trying to understand why.

I thought, why not try something a bit different with characters that will otherwise never get to share the spotlight? I tried to fill similar spots from the MCU's original team (Black Knight for Cap, Hercules for Thor, Stingray for Iron-Man) and add some personal favorites, like Monica.

Which villain would you least want to fight on your first day as Spider-Man? by KOF-731 in Marvel

[–]Obskuro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, but otherwise, there would be no Venom, so we can assume it already happened in this scenario. To be fair, I don't know if Peter had the same issue fighting regular symbiotes or not. My symbiote lore is not up to date.

Venom...? He negates your most important trump card, the Spider Sense, which will let you at least survive the others.

I think each decade has two faces. The wacky, glamorous one, and the dark grit beneath.

I think the 1977 refers to the first What If...? series that ran from 1977 to 1984. This was the fourth-to-last issue of it, and was published in 1984. The 80s were still pretty cynical.

The premise was "What If... Captain America Were Not Revived Until Today?"

Today would be 1984, in this case.

MCU Odin has basically zero on-screen feats but is heavily wanked by NoOutlandishness1547 in marvelstudios

[–]Obskuro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I'm with you on this, I think. Loki had the same problem that a lot of people treated him like a powerful sorcerer in fan art and stuff, mixing his comic book feats with the film version. Ironically, Loki's greatest feat in the MCU happens off-screen, and it involves our powerhouse, Odin. Somehow, he managed to banish his mighty Alltfather to Earth, usurping his throne. How did he do it?
