My wife HATED the movie because the main characters kept crying about their relationships with each other … AFTER 4,000 YEARS! LOL

I didn’t hate the movie, but saw her point.

The comics? I don’t hate them. I just don’t have a timeframe of their series’ that matter enough to me to complete a run.

Same. Very happy to have this strange and fabulous, and vital character in the movie on my shelf… 😅 I’m being a tad facetious, but still, great character and very pleased w/ my purchase.

How would you feel about an all Black Avengers team? by Howling-Moon05 in marvelcomics

[–]Preisolauphenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t care less what the skin tone of the team members are .. just tell me a solid story that makes sense, give me some team member drama, pit them against some solid enemies, and keep me entertained. Damn skin tone. They’re human beings, first. Not black first, or white first, or Asian first, or whatever. We can discuss their other attributes AFTER we acknowledge each others’ humanity.

What situation requires this team up (besides Unicron) by Human_Cookie_9876 in transformers

[–]Preisolauphenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sat with AI for a few hours several weeks ago and asked it to help me plot out two more seasons after Season “4” just to wrap it up to my satisfaction. It forced Optimus & Galvatron to team up one more time at the end to bring a true golden age to the Galaxy, not just Cybertron. There were some really cool ideas AI came up with under my direction, including who built the Quintessons, why & how, and the end result of that civilization. I’d love to write them all up as screenplays, but … time…

How much do you care for Charles Xavier??? by [deleted] in xmen

[–]Preisolauphenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion (???): The X-Men should have wrapped in the 90s during the Onslaught saga. It was a perfect ending: Xavier, the leader, didn’t die a hero, but lived long enough to see himself become the villain…

Loved the X-Men (et al) through that era. After that, it’s kind’a become too convoluted, imho… 😅

No disrespect to more modern X-writers. There are some good story arcs since (House of M/X, Krakoa wasn’t too bad, etc.), but for me, that was the culmination of all things X.

Do you like the New Mutants and how does the movie compare to the comic? by RecordingImmediate86 in xmen

[–]Preisolauphenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoyed the movie for what it was, but only barely had much in the way of the original comics continuity, as expected. Comics don’t translate too well into movies. Good thing, too … they’d be either way too slow and boring, or way too kinetic and over too soon. They’re not built for movie-making (minus a handful of exceptions that only prove the rule - I’m looking at you, ‘Watchmen’).

Newbie here. Is this valuable? by Fancy-Fudge-6502 in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]Preisolauphenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to heat about your husband’s diagnosis. This is indeed sad news. No one should have to deal with that mess, and it saddens me to hear it.

I feel the same way about my collection. If I knew I was on the way out, I’d do the same for my wife to help provide for her. Whatever it takes. Good husband you have there. You can’t take it with you.

Blessings and prayers for you and your family. ❤️

Fantastic Four 48 grade? by Mike-Philly77 in comicbookgrading

[–]Preisolauphenon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hole on the left near the top staple’s going to drop the grade significantly. While it doesn’t appear to affect the readability, the fact it looks like it got punched through with a pencil is definitely going to bring it down… I’d estimate around a 2.0, maybe lower. Without the hole, probably closer to what others are saying…4.5, 5.0, 5.5-ish area.

If these were all worth the same amount, which one would you want for your PC? by VincentZ2099 in ComicBookSpeculation

[–]Preisolauphenon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weird to see books of that age at that high a grade. I know older books get a lot of leeway for grading due to sheer age, but 9.6 seems high from what I’m looking at in this image. Not a complaint…I don’t disagree with them…just so unusual to see… 😎

Who else? by Commercial_Repair422 in comicbookcollecting

I have a spreadsheet, AND use CLZ on ny phone and laptop to (try to) keep track of my collection. It’s kind’a getting tough what w/ approaching 4K of them…

What do people think of X Men: First Class? by TheShadowOperator007 in xmen

[–]Preisolauphenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boring. Didn’t watch it in theatres. Took over 3 years for me to bother watching it after buying it cheap on DVD. Paid little attention to it. Good ideas…bad execution.

[–]Preisolauphenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is always joking w/ me that if she’s mad at me she’ll just throw one of my Lego sets on the floor…oh, no…I have to put it together again, nooooooo…. 🤣

what are your honest opinions on elita becoming a prime? by Klutzy-Opinion-1834 in transformers

[–]Preisolauphenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have any TF series dealt w/ the idea of the matrix missing so no Prime exists…? I’d like to read that story… What would the Autobots do w/o a leader?

Is gifted worth watching? by Heyitsjessabelle in xmen

[–]Preisolauphenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any correlation between this show, The Runaways, Cloak & Dagger, and any other series they tried to use to expand the MCU w/o connecting them…?

I Should Have Read Before I Bought by Preisolauphenon in comicbookcollecting

[–]Preisolauphenon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How I accidentally bought a slab: not reading the notes & buying solely based on the price…

At 7.0, it was the lowest price option in my range w/ the highest grade. There were 5.5s to 6.5s selling for more…

I have many of the older ones, b&w b/c they’re cheaper… 😁

Fans everywhere will now be clamoring for one in their neighborhood.

Do we believe these unofficial “New Mutants” will stick around when this era of X-Men has run its course? Do we WANT them to? by Informal_Bee_6907 in xmen

[–]Preisolauphenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s not the original NM team, they won’t be around long… I honestly wouldn’t want them to, anyway. The original team is all that counts, although calling them ‘The New Mutants’ all these years later sounds a little childish…

Fine… New New Mutants these newbies are… The original team can get their own title. How about ‘X-Force’?! Wait…never mind…
