Blarghagh Posted March 28, 2018 Author Posted March 28, 2018 No love for Superman? You know who else wasn't a Nazi? I'm guessing he didn't throw his shield like a Frisbee much in those days. Clearly, you haven't kept up.
Chilloutman Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I always thought that nazi is some abbreviation of national socialist, it's not exclusively related to zee Germans I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
Pidesco Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Not a Nazi but still a jerk. Superman's too boring to be a jerk. A jerk would give him character. Apparently the teenagers group or whatever did release a manifesto, will have to read that. Got the impression the whole thing was like the Ten Years After song, heh.

BruceVC Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Is Captain America Currently a Nazi? The Answer Is... Complicated. Holy Smoke but plots and historical precedent has become convoluted in comics "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
Guard Dog Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I stopped reading comics in the '80's. So as far as I am concerned comics stopped in the '80's dammit. Captain America was all a hero should be, Spider man was still Peter Parker and still wearing the awful black suit (and no it wasn't an alien), Bat Man is still alive, the Hulk was green and Thor still had a hammer (if you know what I mean)!

smjjames Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Wasn't he gray for a while? I'd heard something about that but I don't read comics. Definetly green in the movies though. Speaking of changes, Superman's suit was changed to a more 'futuristic' electric blue and grey suit for a while before changing back. Edited March 28, 2018 by smjjames
Pidesco Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Wasn't he gray for a while? And Chill, the key to comedic expression is to say it without saying it! Joe Fixit. Gray and smarter than regular Hulk, wore a suit and worked as an enforcer for a Las Vegas casino. It's more or less when The Incredible Hulk becomes a comic worth reading.

ShadySands Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I stopped reading comics when Rob Liefeld was still doing X-Force back in the early 90s Free games updated 3/4/21

Blarghagh Posted March 28, 2018 Author Posted March 28, 2018 Spider man was still Peter Parker and still wearing the awful black suit (and no it wasn't an alien) But it DID come from an interdimensional vending machine. :D

Blarghagh Posted March 29, 2018 Author Posted March 29, 2018 Well, they'll probably withdraw further from the world by doing something like exiting the European Union... oh wait.
Guard Dog Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Do you want to know what I love about Americans? When we are pushed, we push back. Since the demonstrations following the Parkland murders donations to the NRA have tripled. in January they took in $248k, In February they took in nearly $780k. And 68% of that was in the last 10 days of the month. Individual contributors are up by 500% between Jan & Feb. That means not only are people donating more, more people are donating. Like I posted before, the NRA is portrayed as this faceless evil force, Sauron in his tower. But the truth is, I am the NRA. And so is every other member. Now, if we could just cancel the NRA's Twitter account we'd be getting somewhere.

Bartimaeus Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Hi, Sauron. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Malcador Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Do you want to know what I love about Americans? When we are pushed, we push back. Well, as long as no one is pushed by you, I guess.

Amentep Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Wasn't he gray for a while? And Chill, the key to comedic expression is to say it without saying it! Joe Fixit. Gray and smarter than regular Hulk, wore a suit and worked as an enforcer for a Las Vegas casino. It's more or less when The Incredible Hulk becomes a comic worth reading. Technically, he's gray in his first appearance as well (Incredible Hulk #1, 1962) and had more dialogue than the subsequent green version. The creation of Joe Fixit was based on that original coloring and character use, positing it as a different Hulk personality in Banner's mind that manifested ultimately as the Joe Fixit Hulk. I stopped reading comics in the '80's. So as far as I am concerned comics stopped in the '80's dammit. Captain America was all a hero should be, Spider man was still Peter Parker and still wearing the awful black suit (and no it wasn't an alien), Bat Man is still alive, the Hulk was green and Thor still had a hammer (if you know what I mean)! Spider-Man is still Peter Parker but he's back to a more-or-less similar version of the classic suit, Captain America is still a hero (Hydra Cap was an alternate timeline manipulation created by a sentient Cosmic Cube, depending on how you read it). All three of the primary Hulks are back to green. Batman technically never died (people thought he died but he was actually transported through time). Superman did die, but he got better due to a one-time confluence of happenstance. Thor hasn't got his hammer back, but Jane Foster's dying so it'll return to him soon. As a side note, Spider-Man had the black costume from 1984 to 1988. The year prior to that, Thor had lost Mjolnir to Beta Ray Bill...these changes are cyclical and always happening in comics. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Gorgon Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I was never really into the superhero stuff anyway, but yeah in its heyday there was a lot of good and ambitious stuff. I wish there was a spotify for comics. If I could get all the weird french comics I used to love in a subscription service I would jump at that. Main problem is the same as in anything, movies, music, whathaveyou there is so much crap it effectively hides away most of the good new stuff. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
