Quote:What he was doing was the exact opposite of his intended goal. Doing a complete 180 from your previous persona does not, in fact, divert attention from yourself, but draws it to you. The gopher's response was completely not believable.Originally Posted by Durakken
It should be noted that what Welling was doing is called, shock, acting... The character was trying to "mimic" geekier mannerisms and the fact you make that comment shows he succeeded in getting it across that he didn't easily slip into that persona.
While Clark could get away with saying, "I've decided to quit wearing contacts and go back to my glasses", for instance, changing from the gung-ho gogetter into the meek and mild nerd (but not changing your style of dress, hairstyle, etc) instantly is not really conducive to maintaining your disguise. It makes it look like you have something to hide. -
I think Tom was trying a bit too hard to mimic the mannerisms of Chris Reeves w/ the glasses. But it was nice seeing him in them, though the immediate 180 from the gopher guy was a bit much.

Quote:Now, if there were seven issues in the series, that would be 42...Originally Posted by TroyHickman
Uh...six?
You're secretly Douglas Adams! That groucho nose and glasses set isn't fooling anyone!
...
Oh wait...there's four issues in the series? Hmm...that makes 24...
Revised hypothesis! You're Jack Bauer! -

Just out of curiosity, but do you know how many copies of each issue were printed?

Quote:Ya, I sent one as well, quoting the description of the forum itself and Rule 8. MLP is clearly within the bounds of discussibility. In particular, it would be permitted, IMO, under the "action figures" and "your favorite characters".Originally Posted by Tenzhi
He said it was unrelated to Comics or Hero/Villain culture. I sent him a PM pointing out that the original cartoon was produced at least in part by Marvel, and that they published a comic for it in the mid 80s that ran for a few years, and that more recently Tokyopop published a limited series of comics/manga for it. But since when has being wrong ever stopped moderators before?
Got no response and I forgot to put a Read Receipt on it. >.< -
Oh, I can understand the principle. I just don't understand the motivation for someone who has only posted 5 times to have that as an impetus to post.
Besides, didn't David also plug some of the comics he was doing? And well, it's a comic forum. It's not measurably different, IMO, than my anime thread or Foamie's TPB thread.
Double-secret probation is ok...it's when they put you on ultra top secret triple with a cherry on top probation, that you have to watch out for. -
Quote:All vampires are pale-skinned, black-haired females in their late 20's who like to wear skintight dresses that are cut to the navel.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
Is this like that thing about how all real vampires are Eastern European male nobles who turn to dust when exposed to sunlight?
(Thus ignoring all differing lore that predates and postdates that specific stereotype.)
I don't know where you are getting this stereotype that they're all *ick* dudes...

Quote:Apparently, you are unaware as to who Troy is.Originally Posted by Ruff_Tuff_n_Buff
I wasn't aware this forum permitted third-party advertisements. Not interested.
He wrote three of the City of Heroes comics, has a guest author arc in the MA, and one of the items from his comic run made it into the game proper (the statue in front of the tram in King's Row). That's in addition to being a forum regular and pantsless wunderkind.
If you're not interested, you're not interested, but you might learn something about the person you are dismissing.
(Did I overstep there Troy? My apologies if so.) -
Cannot get over how unbelieveably horrible the new Kotaku layout is.
-
Hmm...Chuck's Angels...
Also, LDP looked like Chris Parnell with a beard in this episode.
They had both CoV and CoH this time around. Also some Guild Wars boxes in there too. -
Quote:I peg her closer to 30-35.Originally Posted by Furio
I'd put her about 18, 20 tops, based on appearance there....but not old enough to be the mother of a teen girl.
And it's pretty apparent what age every one else is supposed to be just by looking at them (with the exception of Supes, of course) Spee...uh Red Arrow and Aqualad are late teens, Robin's early teens, everyone else is in between there.
Don't know much (anything) about Green Arrow's comic history so if Cheshire's old enough there to have a teen daughter, this is just someone using her appearance, or a complete rewrite. -
For some animated movies:
I want to say the original Ghost In The Shell movie, but am unsure if it would pass muster for rating.
The second Urusei Yatsura movie, Beautiful Dreamer. It's kinda like Groundhog Day in the fact that the characters involved keep living the same day over and over. It's based on a Japanese fairy tale and is a very good movie. 98 minutes long. It's Unrated, BUT my dvd case says, "Suitable for most audiences", so take it as you will. -
Quote:Ouch, my punny bone. It hurts...Originally Posted by SuperOz
Heh, of course I did.
'Wormer von Braun'? Heeheeheeheee....I was also waiting for the Wonder Aunt Whole Lotta, but hey....
I am a long long time tv and comic reader. I was into Star Trek and even 'Ape Pagoda' before I was in my teens. I do of course await your Night Court and Manimal references...

And here I thought this would be about a new type of absinthe...

Quote:At first, I thought that said, "fried for a felony"...Originally Posted by TroyHickman
But so help me, if I have one more student watch a classic film and then write "well, that was just STUPID," I'm going to be tried for a felony...

Quote:What does it lose? Not a whole lot. If we are presuming that Cheshire is Artemis' mom, then that makes Speedy a lot older than he should be to be hanging around with a bunch of kids who are still in high school, given Artemis' age. She obviously has some relationship with Artemis, whether it be mother or not, if only knowing whatever secret she has. If, however, we presume GA is the dad (rightly or wrongly), and given the older appearance of Cheshire, then the age can fit for a youthful indiscretion on GA's part.Originally Posted by Terwilliger
It's similar enough that you recognize the players, and it's a show that loses something if Cheshire spent time with the green one instead of the red one.
Using your argument, one cannot have the Crime Syndicate. There's little to no point to having alternate universes if they cannot differ from the mainline universe. -
Quote:You have to remember, this ISN'T Primal Earth (or Earth-1 or whatever nomenclature it has). This is a completely separate Earth that doesn't have the same continuity as the other. Ollie could very well be Artemis' daddy. Given their rather...interesting...way of stating her relation to him, it isn't that far-fetched a scenario.Originally Posted by Terwilliger
Ollie isn't the arrow that knocked up Cheshire.
-
Pretty obvious she's GA's kid with Cheshire as the mommy. Or at least my take on it. There's another Artemis, namely the redhead hottie that trains Supergirl on Wonder Island.

Quote:I have gotten a grand total of zero shards while playing solo +0 to +1/8. I'm lucky if I get 2-3 shards per TF. There's been times that I've gotten completely shafted and only gotten 1.Originally Posted by Jetpack
It also means that all of your shards are going to the Alpha slot.
So, no other Incarnate slots could be gotten, as they said all of the slots can be opened with shards.
Hmm.
Of course, you could keep the numbers high and just up the shard drop rate.
Seems my luck with getting purple drops has transferred to shards now. -
Quote:The Young Justice placement map. Remember, it's a different Earth so city locations as compared to "normal" Earth may be off. That places Gotham in CT.Originally Posted by Inazuma
Gotham City is, according to the Atlas of the DC Universe, located in New Jersey, which is driving distance from Metropilis, which is place in Delaware.

Quote:I thought they showed a map of the surrounding area that located the various cities like Gotham and Metropolis.Originally Posted by Draggynn
haven't seen the show, but as a former New Haven resident, I'm rather confused and curious about what New Haven has to do with the show?
Or is my brain just not working right (again)? -
Quote:JJ could become a Forge-like. Or possibly Gizmo.Originally Posted by Father Xmas
JJ needs technopathy. He's already shown some talent with engines and whipping something together in the science room during detention. What he needs to do is whip something up that nobody has ever done before. Be a junior Forge.
Steph, well what can a super speeder do besides moving fast? Phasing through walls. But that might be pushing physics a tad too far.
Daphne's suggestion power could lead her to the dark side.
For Steph, should could become a Synapse-like. Generate static electricity and use it for attacks. Or, just look at what Flash can do. Though granted, Flash has the Speed Force. -
Forgot to add that I also thought, "She's a Bene Gesserit now?" when MRG spoke to the thug and to dad later on.

I could hear the DING! when Mind-Reader Girl stopped the thug.
