Sperg about comic books here

[JimiHendrix]

That's the best one but without the context of the movie it lessens it, that fight is towards the end.

i assumed the context was she has taskmaster-esque abilities so they brought out a retard to fight her with his sperg movements.

it's the same bullshit excuse they used when they had Joker beat up Cassandra Cain.

No. She's the autistic one, he's the sickly son of [character] with severe tourettes plus a brazilian capoiera fighting style for some reason. A combination that makes no sense for an autist.

It's a good movie, there's a heartwarming/sad plot and everything. Autustic girl goes out to collect money from shady people still in debt to her former big-shot gangster mother to pay for her cancer treatment.

 

[JimiHendrix]

No.

i assumed saying she had taskmaster-esque abilities implied what you spoilered.

either way, i enjoyed the retard fight.

She does, fool her once but not twice. Like the old Udon Taskmaster mini she even learns new stuff from watching martial arts movies(Ong-Bak).

I think it was cool because of his memories problems, even if he went with the idea, the status quo wouldn't allow it, he needs to be a comic book character regardless of his desires or intentions, but since his character does have this memory problem, it kinda fits.

Another good Taskmaster comic was his participation in Avengers Academy as a teacher. Hell, marvel comics was so good before Avengers vs X-Men, after that it all went downhill so fast. It literally made me hate mutants so damn much, I fucking hate the whole concept ever since, marvel universe would be better without muties for sure.

AvX supposedly got shafted in the middle of its run due to the film studio bullshit.

I think it would be great if we had a nuanced story that tackled it properly before setting up AvX because it kinda felt like they intentionally kneecapped the whole epic arc they were attempting to use with hope summers.

idk, we were onto something during the Utopia era and all the Hope Summers shit. If the Disney-Fox studio fight hadn't happened, we'd probably have gotten a far better story with more emotional punch to it.

I am using AvX as an example, but a year before you already have those kind of meaningless event storylines like fear itself.
Events are one of the worst things in american super heroes comics invented.

One shitty event story that got shafted hard was Age of Ultron, which was complete shit. But man, I really enjoyed Utopia era, Hope Summers and her mutant batch friends,

Are they dead now or not?

Age of Ultron had so much potential to be fun but they didn't explore it properly.

and Avengers AI came out of it, which wasn't that memorable either.

Hope's alive iirc. IDR much about the other "chosen" mutants either. I think the japanese one went full villain for a while?


the OG Cable died a while back by his teen edition, I think.

Avengers AI... I liked it, guess only me and you did read it.

Kenji (or zero, dunno) died in the end of the story, I was talking about the group, the blue girl, the feral boy and so on.

And shit, they still manages to complicate cable life even further, he is the definition of why x-men characters are shit. add time travel/other universes and it gets even worse

Avengers AI is something I barely remember. I think it's the entire reason that Victor from runaways is an Avenger?

The rest of that groups popped up but never been utilized much. I think the weird centurius guy or w/e his name was that intentionally prevented hope and co. from their destiny has showed up more in comics than they have, recently.

hear me out.

Keep Cable around as a legacy meme. I don't think we should have more of his kind of time travel clusterfuck anymore because the 80s-90s had enough, and the 2000s-2010s solidified the level of "enough of this shit" when it came to multiverses.

I remember a doombot and a giant robot gattai in the end, its been years since I did read it. Victor was there too but I never read anything runaways so I don't know him.

So they are in mutie limbo then? I thought they were going to be killed in some kind of avengers arena scenario or something similar.

I guess they should do Cable similar to his solo in the 10s: father and daughter adventures, him being a father is a way to distance himself from: future bad, go back in time and askani metal arm virus bullshit. Anything to prevent them to be related to summers family, look at rachel, that isn't the future that we want.

but we are talking about marvel comics lol, there isn't creativity here.

mutie limbo is basically everyone that isn't part of the icons. this applies to villains too.

Sure Pyro didn't matter but because he was a noted #classic, he was brought back.

whatever happened to the kitty pryde death recently. i haven't kept up with it but it was kinda dumb. everything they've done with her in the past decade's felt dumb.

 

[JimiHendrix]

i am glad i never got into x-men, honestly.

It is funny how in universe they always scream about muh genocide, but the authors always use the same mutants that if they were all killed, it wouldn't matter anyway.

X-men is so terrible, it is literally the same kind of story being repeated for decades and making the whole marvel universe worse just by being set in the same fictional universe. It is an eternal cycle of remember this, remember that with a few twists for the reader to not feel like a retard for buying the same shit.

I noticed that the only american comics I am reading right now are republications of euro materials in american format. The Cimmerian (Conan but with changed name due to american jews copyright law) and the captain harlock comic by the french.

I was curious to see what was x-men doing right now, so I went to see the hitlist and look this shit:

PETER DAVID RETURNS TO PLACE A MISSING PIECE OF THE X-FACTOR PUZZLE! Mutants have taken hostages, and X-Factor is taking the blame! But before judgment is rendered for POLARIS, HAVOK, WOLFSBANE, STRONG GUY, QUICKSILVER and MADROX the MULTIPLE MAN, VAL COOPER and X-Factor will take the stand! But who's telling the truth, and what really went down at the LATVERIAN EMBASSY? It all makes sensefrom a certain point of view. Return to the fan-favorite era of Peter David's X-FACTOR run with an all-new adventure set between X-FACTOR #75 and #76!

literally have to go back into the glory days to make something new, at least it was the same author.

 

[Water-T]

But I really just came here to complain about them making Taskmaster a woman. I haven't seen the movie but it goes against what I like about the character: there is no character, sort of, he's an unknown. By making him a woman they add too much and that makes Taskmaster stand out from the rest of the bad guys. Barry should appear to be silly costume wearing generic muscleman villain #213, by his own choice, to fly under the radar and throw people off so they don't know who he is in real life. It also seems like they added a backstory and that's wrong.
They're taking too many liberties.

Spoiler: BW Taskmaster spoilers

They "Deadpooled" Tasky in the movie. Instead of being the snarky assassin that "Tony" is supposed to be, they made "her" into a boring, mute killing machine. Just like they did with Wade in Wolverine Origins and later corrected in the Deadpool films.

I'm sure Marvel will bring back Taskmaster later on as the real, correct one.

I mean, I'd rather have them going back to the glory days if nothing else.

Honestly the whole new Krakoa thing was interesting and if it wasn't Ewing handling it, I think that it'd have suffered at a worse writer.

honestly I find the issue with mutants going apeshit is that we still get the same flavor of stuff. I kind of want them to bring Vulcan back so we can have a proper mutant villain that did massive scale things but isn't the same Sentinel/Apocalypse/Magneto/Mr. Sinister shenaniganry that inevitably connects to every major thing or some Grant MOrrison/Joss Whedon stuff that was sorta self-contained.

Bring back Vulcan, let him be space tyrant again. He's got enough background to be very interesting.

A repressed memory appeared when letting random comics podcasts play, and that was the "Sleepwalker" Marvel comic. That one ring a bell with anyone?
I'm struggling to remember why I initially picked it up, it must have been the Brett Blevins artwork. He had a good run on New Mutants pre Liefeld, that must have been it.

 

[Prehistoric Jazz]

Sleepwalker seemed like an alternate universe take on Nightmask from NU in the 80s, but I remember his trading card from... Fleer? Skybox? Interesting premise.

They've reused concepts from "New Universe" a few times.
I thought Quasar ending up there and coming back with the Starbrand was a pretty good arc.
The old person club my family belonged to would always find these stacks of cheapo comics to give to kids as prizes for winning at horseshoes or whatever and New Universe comics and stuff like the failed "Star Comics" would end up in those piles.
That's where Peter Porker started Iirc.

I got the "New Universal" collected edition in the mid 2000s and thought they improved the story quite a bit.

 

[Tor Lugosi]

The only thing I remember about the '90s Sleepwalker comic is that one of the covers proclaimed that the series was "Sandman done right."

Sleepwalker's a weird but memorable D lister. He's shown up here and there, but I remember some weird civil war era role he had where they basically blackmailed him into cooperating with them.

yeah the new universe stuff got reused in the 2010s right around the whole "time is running out" and "secret wars" shenanigans. it was sort of interesting?

we did find out if two starbrands from different worlds meet each other, they cannot fight and will automatically start having sex or sth. that was funny.

oh and then they killed the 2010s starbrand in the setup to the recent avengers book. it made sense because he wasn't someone anyone particularly cared about, but had enough narrative weight in terms of raw power and connection to avengers 10 billion BC to set it up.

The only thing I remember about the '90s Sleepwalker comic is that one of the covers proclaimed that the series was "Sandman done right."

it was interesting, i'll give it that.


it was also batshit insane in the way only superhero comics can be. one of his big villains was 8-Ball iirc.


honestly i've always though that Sleepwalker would have been a better one to push in recent times instead of cloak and dagger.
