It still boggles my mind that a single company owns some kind of distribution rights to two rivalry IPs. LEGO is full of wizards.
Having just got the second DC RPG character sourcebook (Has L-Z) I really wish they could have gotten the Marvel rights too. (It's based on the Third Edition Mutants and Masterminds RPG, which IMO is a fantastic freeform character RPG based on D20). It'd be neat to see how they statted up iconic versions of various characters and how they compare to the DC characters. Ah well.
Pretty much, I just think Spiderman's are more awful than most.
Superman being mind controlled into a porno with Big Barda is probably the worst I can think of from DC other than the aforementioned "girls in fridges" syndrome.
Spiderman is cool because of this guy.
There is very, very little difference between Jameson now and Jameson at the start of the comic.
From each comic series, to each cartoon, to the films, he has pretty much stayed exactly the same, and has continued to be hilarious.
Hard evidence that pricks live forever. Doubly so when they're funny.
Point of Order; Ultimate J Jonah Jameson figured out that Peter was Spider-Man, shortly after changing his mind of Spider-Man when witnessing him selflessly rescuing people from the flooding of Manhattan. He gave Peter a permanent job with flexible hours and a college scholarship, IIRC.
Shame Pete had to go die after that.
I'm pretty sure that wont stick in fact IIRC it's already being unstuck but this was based on a weird logo from a few months ago.
Miles will end up as Scarlet Spider or something.
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

Nah they're not bringing back Ult. Pete, they're having a crossover with Regular Pete but that's a whole 'nother matter.

Guess who has statted up dozens of Marvel characters using 3rd ed M&M anyway?

are you seriously talking shit about gwen stacy's death
one of the most iconic moments in comics that marks a huge turning point in the direction the entire medium was taking
fuck you
fuck you
Killing a hero's girlfriend for drama impact... ooooh, so edgey. I'm in awe. That's never gonna happen again.
I know this is pages late
but you do realise that when this was done, it was edgy? Incredibly so. The heroes girlfriend was dead. She had been killed when a villain threw her off a bridge and the hero tried to save her a failed. Edgy? It ended the Silver Age.
You think Peter Parker being broody and mysterious is cheap and modern? Spider-Man was broody and mysterious before anyone else. In the sixties that hadn't happened in comics. Peter Parker was at college and he'd be under stress and lose his temper with his friends, walking off to brood somewhere, and women would think "that Peter Parker, he's so handsome and mysterious, I just want to know his secret!"
It was a big deal back then! Spidey did it first!
yeah im gonna have to agree with Solar here. That event was a turning point. To ignore the importance of her death on the medium itself is pretty...well...ignorant.
Yeah well thats the problem with reading a wiki entry, none of the context that made those events unique comes across at all and the things that spider hypen man did 40 years ago are just tropes in modern comic books so it's pretty easy to understand how he could have reached that conclusion
It's still a super wrong and overly dismissive conclusion but it's not entirely on him

Why haven't we just sat around settling all these "Who would win in a fight" questions yet?
JJJ is an interesting Ultimatization because while he serves the same purpose his motivation for doing so is completely different and because of that he could be brought around to seeing Peter as he really is.
What's really interesting there is that JJJ is a deluded good person. He's willing to do anything for what he believes is right and he believes a good person would hide his face behind a mask. He is wrong but his heart is in the right place. UJJJ however doesn't trust Spider-man because he is kind of a bad person. Well, a real world business man. He sees Spider-man doing what he does and he distrusts him to. This time though because to him nobody is that good. Nobody would risk their lives selflessly. When confronted with the undeniable fact that Spider-man is exactly that kind of person he changes.
It's interesting.
It feels totally fair for a villain to break into the Bugle and have JJJ cream his pants and suck up to the guy, claiming that no, this time he's going to stop printing (Lies/The Truth.) about them.
But at the same time, you know he's not going to change anything, and he's been shown to be one of the most principled men in the MU, and in some ways one of the bravest. He's the only reason Urich published his anti-kingpin articles, he's a crusader for mutant and civil rights, all that good stuff. He's a complicated character.
Only time I ever remember him was in some late 80's/early 90's X-Men spinoffs and briefly in Civil War.
This choice has me fucking confused.
It's a villain whose a dark mirror to Tony. Had a similar origin became a super-herovillain and cyborg. Terrible code name, though.
They've done the "dark mirror" villain in BOTH Iron Man movies already, to an extent. Change it up a little, maybe?
I mean, I'm sure the teaser ending from Avengers will be carried through the next batch of solo movies, just to build to the eventual Avengers 2, but still...

Super-heroes can have more than one super-villain whose a dark mirror to themselves. Tony's had 3 so far in the movies. Batman's got many in his rogues gallery. Spider-man does, as well. I agree they need to give him a different type of villain to fight, like a Ghost or Spymaster that are mercs for the big bad.
Robert Downey Jr. plays billionaire Tony Stark (Iron Man’s not-at-all secret identity) in the Marvel Studios movies, and he’s looking to make some pretty good money himself as a result of the phenomenal box office success of Avengers.
The Hollywood Reporter cites “multiple knowledgeable sources” that RDJ is looking to take home $50 million from the picture, which includes back-end compensation and bonuses. After the success of the first Iron Man, Downey’s reps negotiated a deal where he would make a percentage of the profits from any Marvel movie where he plays the character — with The Hollywood Reporter says could be as high as 5 to 7 percent, though no concrete numbers are publicly known.
As far as the rest of the cast, THR’s sources say that Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner and Mark Ruffalo will all make about $2 to $3 million from Avengers, with Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson making around twice that. Avengers currently sits at a worldwide total of $1,016,095,436, according to Box Office Mojo.
that seems weird to be giving rdj the lion's share when it really is an ensemble film
especially since the man really wouldn't have much of a career right now if not for iron man
that doesn't matter? Contracts aren't hammered out based on the past, or even on the makeup of the film. RDJ is definitely the reason that the marvel movies blew up like they did, and his agent leveraged that for a huge payout.

probably for fear of being beaten up for our lunch money

if they do we pelt them with d20s
everyone knows this

Why I fear the ocean.
James Badge Dale as COLDBLOOD
WHAT
the dude isn't even an Iron Man villain
he fought Deathlok and Havok, apparently
That's what I was thinking.

to be fair, where else are they gonna go?
batman k'nex? iron man mega blocks?
god damn it come on
And the awful final bout in IM2 which was barely a fight

I wonder how the other actors feel about that
I don't know how that usually goes
"what is your agent's number"
I saw a repeat of The Simpsons the other day, the one with Mel Gibson
RDJ is an outcast having a shoot-out with some cops and Mel is a superstar
How times have changed
especially since the man really wouldn't have much of a career right now if not for iron man
Cheer up, when adjusted for inflation Jack Nicholson still made more for the 1989 Batman movie.
