    Not really?

    Thor slashed with his axe and knocked Cap backwards, I don't see how Thor's sword being between Cap's legs as he does so fucks with the perspective?

    Look at their sizes and thor's arms

    They are both in profile and proportional, so they're standing on the same plane

    For that sword to be between cap's legs, Thor's right arm would need to be in the middle of caps body

    But if they're on the same plane that means his arms are like, in a full spread t-position up and down, but that's not how it looks at all

    It's bending my brain trying to make all those things work together

    The way it looks to me is that Cap's right leg is aligned with Thor's right arm, so the left leg being in front of the sword works just fine.

    since Thor's weapons contacted in the middle of their arch, Cap has to be in the middle of thor's body

    That would mean caps leg-span is similar to Thor's arm-span

    But Thor isn't only swinging across his body, he's swinging in an upward arch, which would change where his left arm ends up and where the middle of his swing is.

    My chance to see TWS got bumped from Saturday to today.

    So excited you guys. I hope there's punching.

  • BionicPenguinBionicPenguin Registered User regular
    Nope. No punching. They just wrestle around a lot. Also, bullets are replaced with lasers.

    And no one ever gets hit with the lasers.

    excuse me the ratings board has specified they hug aggressively, not wrestle

    So apparently Wally West shows up in the FCBD Future's End issue as part of a tease for upcoming storylines. He's not white!
    He's also dead. Although, admittedly, that could, and probably is, just be a fakeout but still HEY HERE"S WALLY AND HE'S A MINORITY AND IS ALSO DEAD as his first appearance is preeeeeetty fucked

    We respect and would like to include minorities in our universe

    We just don't want to write them, that's crazytalk

    Oh, I guess it is just part of a batch of previews they put out.

    Y'know, I was thinking about why it is hard for me to get excited about any DC books nowadays. I know there are good ones (Wonder Woman, Action Comics, Green Arrow, etc.) but even they don't break the mold that much. Wonder Woman is probably the ballsiest book DC has, taking Diana and turning her title into a straight-up mythological horror/fantasy serial.

    But otherwise, even the best stuff is just kinda typical superhero fare. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I love superhero books. But it is really hard to be like YEAH A PRETTY RAD SUPERMAN COMIC THAT DOESN'T TRY ANYTHING NEW when Marvel is busting out stuff like Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye and Secret Avengers and She-Hulk and so on.

    Even when it doesn't work for me, like Young Avengers, I at least respect that Marvel is taking chances and trying ballsy stuff. Even with their flagship titles, I mean Avengers has 20 something members and is dealing with metaphysical concepts of fate and death and has a sister title that is basically POWERFUL MEN TALKING AND MAKING BAD DECISIONS.

    So, I still like DC's good stuff and might pick up Justice League United but shit Marvel is covering so many different subgenres and different takes on the superhero comic (and even doing great stuff with more typical fare such as All-New X-Factor) it is hard to get pumped for it

    They're working on beating the record for the fastest time between the introduction of the minority side character to the inevitable death of the minority side character.

    And yes, in this case Walley is a side character unless he becomes the most active dead guy since Darkest Night

    I would be kinda worried but Amazon is usually pretty great with comic prices so good for them!

    I mean, that could be good, right? Maybe integrate Comixology directly into Amazon's site, letting you choose between digital/physical copies of comics like they do with music?

    Can we expand monopoly laws to include buisness owning businesses all over the place

    That could definitely be interesting yeah; integrate the web viewer into the Amazon site, get better apps for the Kindle Fire/ etc... very interesting.

    Well Comixology already kinda had a monopoly on digital comics

    I'm pretty sure even Marvel's app goes through it. Not Unlimited though.

    The only holdout was Dark Horse, though I think they might have joined

    Or maybe even better, follow their AutoRip example and give me a Comixology version of a comic if I buy a physical copy off Amazon.

    Nah, Dark Horse is still doing their own thing.

    That's like

    Super vague

    Also not really what Monopoly means

    Only if they change the definition of the word.
    We do have businesses practice laws for that.

    If this ends up with a program where I buy a digital subscription to a comic and then they send me the TPB when it comes out, I'd spend SO MUCH MONEY.

    Apparently there was a cut scene in TWS when
    Fury is revealed to be alive. The Russos say it was a "masterclass" in acting between Fury and Widow with Widow suddenly realizing that her life has become so bound in secrets and compartmentalization that when her mentor and close friend let her believe he had died.

    The best part? Scarlet Johannson suggested that it be cut. She loved the scene but felt it hurt the pacing and asked the Russos to make the cut.
