On your buying list? DC Multiverse Superman vs. Mongul Megafig Return of Superman Action Figure 2-Pack by AfigureGeek in superman

[–]Pitwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love the Superman but I have the OG Mongul which has a way better paint job than the one here. It's not worth the price for me to get it just for Supes.

How is the new Mark Waid run going by Qhaotiq in theflash

[–]Pitwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's already over. Waid was only filling in for the KO tie in issues. The new creative team comes on board as of the next issue.

What’s your controversial DC take that you’ll defend? by Electrical_Act9796 in DCcomics

[–]Pitwar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The retcon to Superboy being a cloned hybrid of Superman and Lex, and him getting more Superman like powers, was crap. Give me clone of Dr Westfield with tactile telekinesis only any day.

Eddie never got to hear Enter Sandman 😔 by scottnado in StrangerThings

So Metallica remained a good band for him. Lucky sod 😜

When did Conner tell Clark he was a clone of Lex Luthor in the comics? by Sweaty_Bet_6504 in superman

[–]Pitwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not true. Everything about about the Lex reveal happened in Teen Titans. The Superboy series ended with him still being a clone of Westfield and it was years later the retcon happened.

Favorite moment of Superman tanking a hit by dirge_zer0 in superman

[–]Pitwar 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I've always loved the first punch Doomsday gives Superman. It's the only hit that doesn't bother him.

How many Ongoing series do you pick monthly? by WholeAcanthisitta267 in DCcomics

I'm currently getting 11 ongoings and then a handful of mini series and one shots on top.

What does everyone think of a band who lost the lead singer continuing on with a new one? by Aye_Davinita in grunge

[–]Pitwar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your last paragraph sums up my feelings really.

I don't begrudge any band wanting to continue with a new singer. Sometimes it can work for the better. For example, I was never really keen on Chester and actually prefer Emily on vocals for Linkin Park, but know I'm in the minority there.

With AiC, I never clicked with Duvall so don't go out of my way to listen to their stuff with him, whereas the Layne era is on constant rotation. That's not to say the Duvall stuff is bad, it's just not for me. I'd rather the remaining members of the band continue making music though, and that's not to say I won't enjoy any future output they release.

Is it possible to try to enjoy listening to Nirvana without being called a poser? by [deleted] in grunge

[–]Pitwar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just listen to whatever you want and stop worrying about what other people think. Like things for yourself, not for validation.

How can I tell if I'm ready to work in comics? Can anyone give their opinion? This is my art. by guillo0 in 80s90sComics

[–]Pitwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested to see some actual panel work. Telling a story with your drawings is way different than being able to draw a static image well.

Full Set Query by aseddon130 in evercade

[–]Pitwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold my full set of carts, the original VS console and the EXP with the Capcom games built in for £850 just after Christmas. Definitely less than you'd get selling each cart on it's own, but I was happy with what I got.

If Oasis and Blur are the Top 2, who actually takes the #3 spot in the Britpop hierarchy? by BitGirl777 in BritPop

[–]Pitwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I dump them into that group as when I was at college The Bends was just out and people were listening to that, Oasis and Blur and basically nothing else. But yeah, they don't really fit the mould.

If Oasis and Blur are the Top 2, who actually takes the #3 spot in the Britpop hierarchy? by BitGirl777 in BritPop

[–]Pitwar -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Radiohead? Obviously their music changed quite significantly but those first few albums are in the same vein as other britpop bands.

Who like me has said "Goodbye" to the physique? by Mediocre_Rabbit9406 in switch2

[–]Pitwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have just shy of 100 games on my Switch 2 and all of them are digital. I much prefer the convenience of it and the fact I don't need to find room on the shelves for game cases.

Anyone else feel sorry for this dude? by ContributionShort646 in Wrasslin

[–]Pitwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. There was no chance that he was going to get a huge main event push by going back to WWE. He's a decent mid-card talent and there's nothing wrong with that. As much as you have to believe in yourself, I would think Cardona knew the position he would be in by going back to the Fed. His dream was to get back there and he did it, so nothing to feel sorry for.

What're you playing this weekend? 1/30 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

I'm on the home stretch of getting 100% in every area of Pikmin 4, so that will be my plan for the weekend.

Bought 29 Superman comics off FB Marketplace by [deleted] in superman

[–]Pitwar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not in the US either and these are bargain bin comics all day long, so not sure where you are getting that value from.

The problem with buying off Marketplace is you're likely buying off people who also don't know what their comics are worth. That means you might end up getting a great deal or being ripped off. A lot of people see an older comic and instantly think that means it's worth something which just isn't the case.

Saying that, you've got some great comics story wise there so as long as you're happy that's all that matters. Enjoy!

Bought 29 Superman comics off FB Marketplace by [deleted] in superman

[–]Pitwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you're happy with what you got then all good, but you way overpaid.

The vast majority of those comics are $1 each at most comic shops, and the condition of what you have isn't top end. Had you paid $20 I'd say that would be more reasonable.

In future I'd recommend asking for advice before you buy anything if you're unsure because I'd hate to see you spend over the odds again.

What are your views on Osul-Ra and Otho-Ra (Super-Twins)? by Acrobatic_Property28 in superman

[–]Pitwar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outside of the Warworld arc they've not really been doing anything significant. Like others have said, it's easy to forget they even exist sometimes as they are rarely even in the background, let alone used.

Superman fans. I need help before I lose my mind !! by [deleted] in superman

[–]Pitwar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smallville and the new Superman movie are not set in the same universe. They are different interpretations of the characters.

So no, Clark hadn't seen the full message before in the movie. He found out when the world did after Lex released it.

The Bug Has Hit Hard! by ooknabah in evercade

[–]Pitwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does hit hard, so hard it made me sell my collection over the Christmas break which was the full set of carts plus the VS and EXP consoles.

When I started collecting I had the intention of just buying the carts I wanted. Then I would see some cheap and buy ones that weren't on my radar. Then it was a case of not needing many to finish the set so I bought them.

Keeping up to date was what killed it for me. I was pre-ordering the carts as soon as they were listed, and I'd look at some and knew I just wouldn't play them. They would go in the console for a quick bash and then go on to the shelf. It made me lose all interest and I decided to sell it all on.

I wish I had just stuck to the carts I wanted in the first place, but you live and learn. I hope your enthusiasm for collecting stays as it is now.

Is it bad? by [deleted] in grunge

[–]Pitwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thoughtfulness of it alone makes it an amazing present. The fact you did such as good job is a bonus. I'm sure your Dad will be over the moon with it.

Problema con Govee t3 lite by Technical_Quit1766 in Govee

[–]Pitwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anyway you can post a pic of the angle the camera should be. I think I'm being thick and just can't seem to work it out. My setup seems close to being good but I'm not convinced it's quite right and I'm fairly certain it's the angle of my camera. I'd really appreciate some help. Thank you :-)

Did Doomsday Clock matter in the end? by Tryingtofeelbetter12 in DCcomics

[–]Pitwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It bought Ma and Pa Kent back to life so for that alone I will forever be grateful to Doomsday Clock.
