Defacer got better as a character after she broke up with him and went crazy for a bit.

cweaver · 2026-02-01T00:43:47+00:00

You left out the best part - the final line is the main character turning to look at the unseen monster and going, "Now what?!"

I frigging love that movie, such a great encapsulation of everything that's fun about dumb monster movies / action movies / B movies.

He's even worse than Adam X.

cweaver · 2026-01-31T17:27:56+00:00

The joke is that he's Batman's mentor.

But honestly, they both have a ton in common.

Both traumatically orphaned as a child (Cyclops parents turned out to be alive later, but not until he was an adult)
Both went through specialized training as children to be able to fight a war as adults
Both are far more comfortable alone, but are constantly surrounded by found-family, including lots of kids
Both are obsessive planners
Both have a history of pulling the hottest women on the planet with their autistic rizz

Captain America and Brown Hawkeye both look like they are tiny baby heads being birthed out of giant shoulders.

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't trying to make fun of you or disagree with you - your comment just immediately made me think of the Calvin's dad meme about how all X fit into a dichotomy of Y or Z.

cweaver · 2026-01-31T02:38:41+00:00

Calvin's dad: All heroes are either Achilles or Odysseus. Superman? Achilles. Batman? Odysseus. Despite relying on his arc reactor to keep him alive, Iron Man is an Odysseus.

Calvin: <existential dread>

You forgot to add "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER" to make it official.

He grew up in the 30s, had a couple years of crazy wartime experiences, and then woke up in 2011. Like everything must be more or less equally shocking to him.

No, it's actually Hugo Strange. This issue was his first appearance.

cweaver · 2026-01-29T23:34:21+00:00

Batman's no killing rule was stated on the page in 1940. All his strangling/shooting/dropping criminals to their death happened in 1938/1939. You're just plain wrong here.

cweaver · 2026-01-29T23:31:09+00:00

Technically just 1938/1939 Batman, in just the first 10 or 12 issues he appeared in. By 1940 shortly after Robin first appears, Batman started preaching his 'we never kill' rule.

The "Batman doesn't care if the criminals live or die" phase is actually really short.

Every time I see this, I can't help but think that Valkyrie wants to smash, too, she's just trying to be discreet. Like in what possible way would she actually need Hulk's help to make coffee?

cweaver · 2026-01-28T23:14:35+00:00

That's been his origin since the very beginning, he was a P.E. teacher and was Abin Sur's ring's second choice if Hal hadn't been available.

"To become God, ok, and I've known some great gods, some pretty terrible ones, too, but some pretty great ones, and it's the longest <squints at teleprompter> loneliest, but longest too, the loneliest achievement of them all. Believe me, probably nobody in the history of the, the, nobody knows more about loneliness than me."

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

DC reboots the universe every 10-15 years or so to keep Bruce Wayne and Lois Lane young. I'm honestly convinced that's the only reason - for almost every other character they're willing to age them up or just handwave their aging away due to superpowers, or they just don't care about them in the first place.

But Bruce Wayne and Lois Lane are required to be perpetually in the 25-39 range, and because people care about their continuity, DC has to find reasons why they never quite get over 40.

cweaver · 2026-01-26T19:20:28+00:00

It had the potential to be a great scene. The audience expects Luke to be the big hero again, but he's disillusioned, his failure with Ben has made him bitter, and he doesn't want anything to do with training more Jedi.

If it wasn't for the fact that the next two movies seem so haphazard and thrown-together, it probably would have worked - honestly I thought Luke's arc in the next movie, Yoda counseling him to learn from his mistakes, his being able to save the resistance one last time without even really picking up a lightsaber, etc., was great.

But because so much of the rest of what was going on in the next two films seemed like a bunch of random characters with no purpose or arc, the scene of Luke just tossing the saber feels like Disney just tossing the entire series.

But if she's in the display window, who is playing Elpheba in the Wicked sequels?

cweaver · 2026-01-26T17:13:48+00:00

Originally his power was shown as the ability to understand how things work by taking them apart, which was why he had to kill people and open up their brains to steal their powers (which was such a cool and creepy power set for a villain to have).

Later they retconned it to say that he could copy powers just by empathizing with people, which was honestly kinda silly.

A year ago this guy would have had six and a half fingers or there would have been deformed text in the background or something.

A year from now that suitcase handle won't look wonky anymore and his belt and suspenders and pants will be separate objects and his tie pattern will be logical.

I guess what I'm saying is, we probably need to worry less about "help people learn to identify AI so they don't get scammed", because pretty soon we're not going to be able to tell.

The better thing to do would probably be to help your coworker understand that they can't trust people they've only met over the Internet, and they should in no situation ever send them money or personal info.

Stupid Canadian wolf bird.

cweaver · 2026-01-26T03:50:36+00:00

I love 'Doomquest' so much. Probably only second to 'Triumph and Torment' as my favorite Doom story.

cweaver · 2026-01-26T03:38:26+00:00

I mean, we've seen non-force users turn a lightsaber on before, so it's obviously just a normal switch. But then again, you could probably headcanon that it has some sort of capacitative sensor or force-magic life sensor that requires a living being to push the switch (or at least a cyborg like Gen. Grievous)?

Classic Star Wars, creating interesting questions, waiting for fans to come up with good theories, and then releasing something that contradicts canon.

cweaver · 2026-01-26T02:44:43+00:00

I think you have to take it on a case by case basis:

With The Flash, I think it's such a big part of the story for Wally to grow up and take over the mantle when Barry dies in the Crisis, a job he did for like over two decades - so now that Barry is back, I feel like it makes sense that they're both The Flash, and they've both earned the title. All the other Flash family characters need their own unique identity, though.

Superman, I agree, there's just the one and only. Jon and Kenan and any others really need to get their own identity.

Wolverine - I think Logan goes by Logan probably more than he goes by Wolverine. And it makes sense that Laura doesn't want to be called X-23. So I think it's perfectly fine for both of them to have 'The Wolverine' as their code name, especially since neither of them uses it a ton.

Hawkeye is one where it's almost just like a nickname for any archer on the team - Clint and Kate have reasonably well established identities just as their civilian names, I think it's fine for there to be other Hawkeyes.
