Speaking of sentinels... Why do they look so much like purple ironmen? Was it ever even hinted at stark designing them or something ?

yeah, there's a lot to be said for "acting as if" it gets a bit hokey, but there's this idea that the power of words is the strongest force known to man. you walk around talking about how you don't feel well, or how tired you are and that's what happens. it's not that you just convinced...

it's a lot harder to write for a character that is very simply, altruistic without having that character be boring. the interesting story arc is one where a character survives tragedy. there's plenty of characters that haven't had any significant deaths prior to becoming a hero... but unless you...

it wasn't the bone part of his claws being broken that is the problem. it's the adamantium part of those broken claws. Deadpool getting his mouth back is all well and good, but that was only for SOME movie theatres. there was, what, 4 different post credit endings? and that still doesn't explain...

He's omega based on his potential. He simply doesn't know how. Emma frost once mind controlled him or something and totally wrecked stuff with his powers to a degree that bobby has never shown since. And isn't prof x omega level as well?

Yeah. I'm with you. If they have pym in it then they need to have him beating his wife. Why? Because pym is a douche. He's as close as someone can come to being a villain without being one. And without being an anti hero. No one likes pym but he's a massive asset to the team. I'd love them...

Part of the rationalization comes from the variances in the situations themselves. Pit two Olympic level athletes against each other 20 times and you'll get 20 different outcomes. Some of it comes from who is writing and which character is wearing the thickest plot armor. The other part...

Edit: wtf double post delay....

Their classification system is basically a way to demonstrate some sort of power hierarchy. It doesn't really mean much outside of OMG omega level?!?! That's over 9000!!!!

Fair enough. What about the other stuff? Any recent changes in diet? Solid sleep? Any routines out of whack?

Well of course, I mean I'm not saying quit your job. But I think it's worth taking some time to figure out if the benefits outweigh the hindrances.

I get that. I do. Problem is, your not everyone else. Heck. No one is everyone else. Some people can do that and it's fine. Some people can do that and they lose their mind. Some people can do that as long as they don't have kids or a wife. Some people can do that BECAUSE they have kids and a...

Love that book. Artwork is great too. I love that last panel with him sitting on the cliff talking to himself

No, I'm okay with characters being adjusted to fit the medium. Wolverine not ever leaving cyclops for dead in the savage land in order to get with jean is fine. Magneto being taken by the Nazi's is fine. Things like that are fine because they are shown to be in the same spirit as the characters...

Its been said before all throughout the thread but the most important things are keeping yourself busy... Don't give your brain a chance to think about feeling empty. Make sure you are getting enough sleep. Lack of sleep will wreck you faster than anything else. A change in diet can work wonders...

Gav do you write for how it should have ended?

I'm not playing semantic games and not trying to fool anyone. I've said multiple times that you are all free to make and have whatever opinions you want and they are all equally valid. If you want to disagree with me, more power to you. I may believe in one specific god, but Aquinas' arguments...

Who said anything about Christian god?

Don't forget it's going to be ftp/ptw

The problem with that argument is that they aren't just retelling stories. They are rewriting fundamental character traits. Why is that a problem? Because they aren't respecting the source material and if they are rewriting source material so much that characters resemble each other in name...

That's pretty much my point. People use science to prove their points, which isn't a bad thing. It's when they use science as a magic word to prove their point without really understanding the actual science. That is all I'm saying. I'm not saying that god exists because science. I'm not saying...

ah, okay cool. i'll look in a bit (at work) and i'm very much not taking it as beating me over the head. i'm taking it as someone is finally giving a valid and educated response that isn't "you're an imbecile." edit: after looking through some of that briefly, i'm impressed. thanks for...

to be clear, i misspoke. i should have stated that there has plenty of scientific discoveries that corroborate the exisitance of God. nothing unequivically proves or disproves God's existance. but there's enough anecdotal evidence for both arguments.

troll... of ALL the people here... how is it that you are the only one who actually gave a legitimate response? kudos. the best response to that website that i can make at this point (being too early in the morning to critical thinking) is that i still don't see anything there that refutes...

Badly because you don't agree, or badly because I've misrepresented some of his arguments?

Proof? There isn't any one way or the other. There is however, scientific arguments that one can make that, at the very least, keep the debate for god vs no god very much alive. Scientifically speaking, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless otherwise...

Okay, that's fair. So I guess my question is what did I say that was so offensive? I won't what I said that was stupid as that is a completely subjective statement. But I'm seriously curious what I said that was offensive. I have better things to do with my time than to offend people out of...

i'm... not wrapping up anything... seriously people. get some stability that someone can have a differing opinion than you (even if it's not) and be able to have a "grown-up" conversation without devolving into name calling. you are all so stuck on that idea that i said science requires...

back on topic... took the wife and in-laws to see this again earlier this week... while not QUITE as enjoyable the second time around... i'd still rate the movie as an absolute must-see for anyone enjoying fun, simple popcorn action movies. the ONLY scene that just... bothers me is when raliegh...

sam raimi was the executive producer for hercules, xena, and the evil dead series. those were all EXTREMELY campy. he also was the executive producer for spartacus, which is anything but. i mean i get what you're saying and i'm not trying to change your mind, if that is what you ACTUALLY think...

you're right of course and i conceded that i didn't clarify well enough originally that i wasn't denigrating science. i wasn't saying ANYTHING about science. so for me to even say "bad science exists" would still be disingenuous to my point. bad SCIENTISTS exist. that's my point. my point is...

seriously... is what i'm saying completely retarded or are people stuck on the idea of having faith in science? because that's not what i'm saying. what if instead of the term "fanaticism" i used the phrase "blind science?" this is from an article about blind science vs blind faith...

fine.

tuco get your real world answers out of here. stories in comic books are not told to make money. they are told to make sure that people know our history. didn't you see unbreakable?

well, maybe it's relative, but to me, camp is bruce campbell. legolas sliding down the stairs on a shield or an elephant's trunk wasn't camp. that was just a directorial choice to demonstrate his "elven grace." to me, camp is for humor and since i didn't see him doing those things for humor, i...

hulk has been shown to dent captain america's shield. thor has not been able to demonstrate this. though, to be honest i prefer thor. i think they've gone on record to say that all things being equal, hulk is potentially the strongest (strength wise) marvel character. though, i can't seem to...

haha sorry, chuk

there's a difference between comic relief and camp. and wtf was so campy about treebeard. dude was awesome. HIS FEET ROOTED INTO THE GROUND WHEN HE WALKED. baller.

honestly, i'm excited it's coming out. i'm excited that people like vin are making movies and i'm excited that people like vin are bankrolling movies in order to get the things they enjoy out there. that being said... i... don't get it. this LOOKS to be what hangover 2 is to hangover 1. some...

yeah, i don't really remember the trailer being bad, per se... just... it wasn't anything special. i still haven't seen Dredd so i can't comment on whether or not i think it accurately portrays the full movie... but i very specifically remember seeing the trailer and going, "eh?" and this was...
