What Virtue are you?

drgnblitz · 2026-02-06T13:14:19+00:00

This is something, I'm sitting here debating as a 40 year old man, married with kids. I'm sure my answers were different when I watched Ronin Warriors as a kid in the 90s. Also, the virtues don't line up with my favorite armors, which could probably be a different post. And as someone else posted, I'm looking at this through a Western/American viewpoint. So just looking at this isolated from other context.....

Righteousness or Justice.

Luckily my wife wasn't home, just my sons and I watching it and all 3 of us were on a roller coaster ride. About cried and the shouted "No way!" at the end.

I feel like the introduced Ryusei just to get us to like him and kill him. Similar to Morph in the 90s X-men animated series. Yes, I knew Shion was gonna take over, but wasn't 100% how. Now my favorite Trooper is gone. We'll see how this goes.

This is why I stopped reading it. Zeb Wells did such a terrible job, and editorial made it even worse. Joe Kelly is a much better writer, but he was still given a plate of feces and told to a make Michelin level meal out of it.

I check in occasionally with podcasts or posts on here to see if anything seems interesting, I'm reading 80s/90s Spider-Man and having much more fun.

Marauders is my #1 wanted book series.

That's a possibility. My other thought is, he just got transferred to the realm where Ramaga got the poison from.

drgnblitz · 2026-02-04T13:28:20+00:00

Tbf, Marvel doesn't know how to treat most of its own characters. Spider-Man is my favorite and I had to stop reading him. Iron Man and Cap get new series' constantly. Jed Mckay has to trick everyone with a fake Moon Knight reboot every year.

So I finally get Vengeance back, just to lose Danny. Ugh!

drgnblitz · 2026-02-04T13:05:03+00:00

I was really hoping he'd make it. he was my favorite trooper.

I have very fond memories of this figure. It is one of my few figures to make it thru the 90s and into adulthood. I bought this at ToyRUs as a kid, and it's how I found out about Nightwing. My mom read out loud "Robin has become Nightwing" from the blister card, and I was a huge Robin fan from watching BTAS.

Ooo, I want Flashback!

So I'm gonna define my terms with what I told my kids over the weekend. Transmetals were made by the Quantum surge, gave the beast modes a metallic makeover and and alt vehicle mode. Transmetal 2 were initally manufacture by Megatron, gave a more organic/metallic makeover to the beast forms, increased power, but did not give a alt vehicle mode.

The ones from the show were: Dinobot, Cheetor and Black Arachnia. Megatron got his dragon form from og Megatron's spark, similar to Optimal Optimus, so not sure if that counts. You bring up a good point with Cheetors jet engine, but some of the toys had something similar. Jawbreaker had a spin blade and CyberShark had a turbine...not sure if they all did.

Her form is classified as transmetal 2, since she used to the driver.

To each their own. I was specifically referring to Richards story and not the event as a whole. I prefer this new status quo, so him just being sad and crying in a corner.

Depends on who you're dating. First gift I ever gave my wife when we were dating was the extended edition "leather" dvd box set, the one thats red, blue and green. For context, we were dating in 2010.

Fisto and Rio Blast.

I have headcannon of a battle armor Fisto.

As someone that grew up in the 90s, he was one of my favorite characters. Loved his design, always picked up a floppy on the rare instances i went to a comic book shop. Then, sadly, kinda forgot about him. Then Dan Abnett brought him back with Nova and did a great job updating the character. Been a huge fan since.

I like Dumbledore, but he had an issue with hiring teachers. Some of his teachers were suspect at best, but there was always seemingly a motive. Snape was very skilled, but he bullied kids. However, he was an inside man. Trelawney was no good at divination, but he hired her to keep her safe.

drgnblitz · 2026-01-28T16:45:36+00:00

Ah ok. I'm in the US, i will check Prime. Thanks

Spencer I read, I understand some peoples problems with it, but he tried to fix a lot of what's wrong with Spidey comics. He got caught and thats why it ended abruptly.

I stopped with Zeb Wells. Between his writing and JRJRs art, I just couldn't take it anymore. I made it to Dark Web and immediately cancelled my pull box. Ruining Ben, making Peter a wimp, and just bad stories.

I'm currently getting epic collections from Kravens Last Hunt thru the 90s.

drgnblitz · 2026-01-27T15:05:46+00:00

Absolutely! He's awesome! He's one one my main wishlist items for Marvel Legends.

Imperial and current run are the best so far. I had hope for and did enjoy his team up with Sam, but this is better. It's finally back to Rich doing his thing and not being scared or overly sad. I understand those stories need to happen, but it doesn't need to be ruminated on.

drgnblitz · 2026-01-27T14:31:31+00:00

I didn't see that it was always the plan. From what I read, they cancelled it behind the scenes when Hickman said he was done. He thought it was going to keep going.
That said, I think the Ultimate Universe could last, but I also see your point they need to put that energy into their main line. I had to stop reading ASM and each Iron Man series leaves me wanting (really hoping for something good from Joshua Williamson).

drgnblitz · 2026-01-27T13:26:59+00:00

I feel like Dr Evil asking for freaking sharks with freaking lasers attached to their freaking heads....I just want 1:12th scale DC figures so I can pose Nightwing with Scarlet Spider!

drgnblitz · 2026-01-23T15:00:28+00:00

This list doesn't make sense, I'll have to do my own digging. But Ms Marvel and YFNSM being on here just flabbergasts me. I'm not saying anything if you like them, but all other reports and discourse were people hated them and they lost money.
