Yes, I got that. My point is that he's meant to be a brilliant nuclear physicist...but oh hey dudes check out these arms I designed by myself entirely for the purpose of handling this miniature sun that I also designed myself.
It just seems to me he was made too much into the public's stereotype of "lol science machines physics robots" when in the comics, even though the arms were an amazing breakthrough and he made them himself, they're for a more innocuous purpose (handling dangerous chemicals and radioactive samples, as opposed to gently massaging a tiny star into ecstasy).
Yeah I know but that kind of looks silly. Like this is Vietnam and they throw some glowing chest circle on him
I know I know, comics lol
It's the Gulf War now. But I see where you're coming from. Every technology in the super-hero universe is already aesthetically-styled for super-heroes/villains for some reason. It's like the Spider-Man movies. Sure they had a glider, but why was it chromed? Why did they have a power-ranger suit to go with it? What part of controlling a mini-sun would require super-intelligent, evil octopus arms with their own individual cameras in each 'palm' and one that apparently has a knife?
The Marvel movie universe does some annoying things sometimes, but overall they are still fun movies.
True dat. I know they needed to portray non-Ock Otto as a benevolent scientist for the story, but it kind of annoyed me how he shows off these incredible mechanical arms that would earn him an absolute fortune...but oh wait nvm guys its for the portable sun h5
Yeah guys, I made them intelligent enough and powerful enough that they can take over a human mind. Cool huh? But don't worry, I put this tiny plastic tab in and they become obedient. Much better than maybe making them subservient in the first place right?
Oh and I picked out the spot to create my mini-sun. It's in a brick and wood building in the middle of Manhattan. Out in the Nevada desert was just too far away. Plus... what could happen? It's just a miniature star, something that's never been done before and I'm doing it in one of the most densely-populated places on Earth, but it's not like the government cares about stuff like that right?
I bought that 40 Years of X-Men DVD-ROM. I'm still only in the mid sixties in the comic series though. It's going to be a while before they actually start getting good.

YOU CAN'T GIVE HUGS WITH RAMPANT ABUSE OF MAGNETISM!
I'm amused that they refer to her as "gorgeous" more often than they do by her actual name.
Well it was the 60's. It's all like "Hey dollface, we know you have incredible telepathic powers, but how about you leave the mutant superhero stuff to us guys and go whip up some sandwiches and martinis for us".

She was pretty not powerful back then as well. she could fold laundry with her mind, but that was about it.

Folding laundry, making a good pot roast, and mixing drinks was all a woman had to do in the 60's. They weren't intelligent enough to handle real problem like alien invasions and evildoers.
"i can move stuff with my mind!!!"
"That's nice, but i can cover myself in snow, and throw snowballs! I'll handle this alien invasion, you just make sure i have a steak waiting"

Damn, I would have loved to be alive in the 50's and 60's. You're just coming off the high that is beating the Nazis and the Japanese. Jobs are good, prices are low, the commies are your sworn enemy, and your wife is at home cooking you a nice steak while taking care of the kids. You know she made a pie. She cleaned herself up to welcome you home, got your slippers, and made you a nice martini.
This doesn't really have anything to do with comics, but there's no other thread for it.
Apparently Ridley Scott has just finished (re)shooting new material for the forthcoming huge Blade Runner DVD collection. Among other things, he reshot the shooting of Zhora.

Now he is, but back then he was pretty retardedly weak. I mean, a toaster oven could beat him.

No. He's always been that strong.
He's just a weak-minded, depressed little dipshit.

Doesn't Hulk ever turn back into Bruce Banner?
I liked at the end of Kingdom Come when they were eating at Planet Krypton and the waitress suggested they try the 'Dial H for Hoagie'
ew
i'm unsure what i think of the 2nd one, only because it was directed by Guillermo Del Toro, and i love that dude.
Ron Perlman made that movie tolerable.
though that Chupa dude from The Transporter didn't have one either...hmm
YOU TAKE THAT BACK. RON PERLMAN DOESNT DO SHITTY MOVIES.
Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)
Ron Perlman ... The Reman Viceroy
Absolon?
but i love ron, he's awesome.
Edit: no makeup in that pic weaver, not at all.
I'm looking forward to Hellboy 2.

Holy shitballs, I didn't know Ron Perlman played him...

I never said it sucked...
it had twice as much emotional, introspective Picard as normal
I liked the one with the Borg queen better. When Picard says "It ends here"...the little accent, the dramatic flare, the anger. He's so dashing.

He knows that he doesn't need it.
I guess that it's like one of Hulk's "pieces of flair".

When he went nuts with the Thompson on the Holodeck. Jesus H. Christ, I wanted Patrick Stewart more than ever.

That scene with Picard and Lily is maybe the best scene in all of Star Trek.
