If I miss out on Spider-Verse I will cry manly tears. What's wrong with Falcon-Cap? The costume or the character? So there's a problem with both? |

The costume or the character? So there's a problem with both? No, I was just wondering which part you were asking about. There's nothing wrong with the Sam Wilson character, I just find other characters more interesting. Also, this isn't against Falcon-Cap, but I don't understand how taking the Super Soldier serum away would make Cap older or even skinnier. Wouldn't his body stay the same, but just age at a normal rate? I do have an issue with the costume. It combines elements of all of the suits Cap wore, plus Falcon's traditional suit, and it just doesn't work. All of those suits just don't mesh together, resulting in an overdesigned, overcomplicated suit. The suit doesn't really matter, and that's the only problem I have with Falcon-Cap. The character is fine, the suit no so much. |

What's Alex Summers' secret? And how does Susan Storm stay so youthful?
I suppose those questions can be glossed over, but what about everything else that makes even less sense, like the MU's incredibly optimistic explanation for radiation poisoning, or it's contradictory design of the entire cosmology of the MU, like which god is the god of the sun, etc? And how the MU clearly has more than nine realms, as though the Asgardians choose to completely ignore the existence of the likes of Hades, the Egyptian Underworld or all the demon realms that Dr Strange visits, or how about explaining how telepaths can read minds even though most people don't think in words and sentences during general activity, or why the heroes don't care if they kill each other like in AvX with everyone automatically becoming bloodthirsty warriors that are infinitely callous, competitive and egotistical about everything, or why all the Earth-bound major conflicts take place in America, or how enhanced intelligence automatically provides vast knowledge when no information is has been learnt?
One thing I would like to know, is how Galactus came to the UU even though Thanos had recently killed him?

People think thoughts and they read those and their memories, etc. End of the world threat means all bets are off/because writers make characters act differently to fit the story (Superman in Dark Knight Returns is a good example of this). The comics are made in America. They learned it themselves. In Geoff Johns' run on Teen Titans Kid Flash reads the entire Library of Congress in a very short amount of time and thanks to his photographic memory he remembers it all. 3. He didn't kill him. They fought but Galactus lived. |

Has anyone here seen Dawn if the Planet of the Apes? Yes. IMO it's the best movie of 2014 (so far). The Academy needs to pull their heads out of their asses and give Andy Serkis a Best Actor nomination. And let's not forget Toby Kebbel as Koba. It's amazing how far motion capture has come since The Lord of the Rings. The best special effect is the one where you forget it's a special effect, and the apes looked closer to photorealistic than CGI ever has before. With the best acting, direction, story, and special effects of 2014, I give Dawn of the Planet of the Apes a 10/10 (for context, I have Cap 2 a 9/10 and X-Men: DoFP a 9.5/10)! |

Yeah, I thought it was absolutely amazing. Andy Serkis and Toby Kebbell deserve Oscars for their performances. Just simply amazing how convincing their performances were. Definitely my favourite film of 2014. |

Hey TC (or anyone else) you watch a lot of modern cartoons right? Is Motorcity or Rob Dyrdek's Wild Grinders any good? I know Motorcity got cancelled but it looks like Wild Grinders is still going. I'm asking because I've been watching Kenan and Kel and I know Kel Mitchell does voice work for both of them. According to Wikipedia he's voicing Jazz in Transformers: Robots in Disguise (which would be awesome) but I can't find an actual source for that.

Just in my opinion, yeah. It just had this atmosphere about it and I loved all the characters. Other shows that I like are Slugterra which can only be summed up as shooting creatures out of guns to transform them into more powerful forms. It's like Pokemon meets a western (sort of). |

What I meant was I won't be buying it because it's not available, but I won't be spending the money I would have spent on those titles on other Marvel books. Granted that could change if Marvel releases a new book that interests me, but the new titles, and the new teams (as in actual characters not writers and artists) that they have announced don't interest me enough to purchase them. Are you getting Logan Legacy or whatever? Yeah, I think it runs through October or November. I was going to pick it up for sure, but now I'm going the "I'll read the first issue and see if I like it" route. |

I suppose those questions can be glossed over, but what about everything else that makes even less sense, like the MU's incredibly optimistic explanation for radiation poisoning, or it's contradictory design of the entire cosmology of the MU, like which god is the god of the sun, etc? And how the MU clearly has more than nine realms, as though the Asgardians choose to completely ignore the existence of the likes of Hades, the Egyptian Underworld or all the demon realms that Dr Strange visits, or how about explaining how telepaths can read minds even though most people don't think in words and sentences during general activity, or why the heroes don't care if they kill each other like in AvX with everyone automatically becoming bloodthirsty warriors that are infinitely callous, competitive and egotistical about everything, or why all the Earth-bound major conflicts take place in America, or how enhanced intelligence automatically provides vast knowledge when no information is has been learnt? One thing I would like to know, is how Galactus came to the UU even though Thanos had recently killed him? 1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_timeline2. There are, as recently revealed, ten realms. Dimension =/= realm. Dr. Strange travels dimensions. Hades/underworld is Hel. People think thoughts and they read those and their memories, etc. End of the world threat means all bets are off/because writers make characters act differently to fit the story (Superman in Dark Knight Returns is a good example of this). The comics are made in America. They learned it themselves. In Geoff Johns' run on Teen Titans Kid Flash reads the entire Library of Congress in a very short amount of time and thanks to his photographic memory he remembers it all. 3. He didn't kill him. They fought but Galactus lived. 1) - I know about the floating timeline. And I understand it's function. But Alex Summers still shouldn't be that young after all this time. Peter Parker has aged by at least ten years since he first gained his powers, whilst Alex Summers remains a young man when he should be older than Peter. But like I said, most of the characters' ages are passable excuses. It makes sense to have a floating timeline, I agree with it, and besides, there are plenty of things in the MU that don't actually make any sense whatsoever. Like all the different explanations continually contradicting each other, such as the very many interpretations of the after life and the cosmology of the entire multiverse, space time continuum. I don't understand why the Asgardians think there are only nine realms. There are lots more than that, in which Thor and Odin have witnessed first hand. 2) - Well then you must know that that recent reveal is completely false and doesn't make sense to what realms the MU has actually been shown to have. I haven't counted, but there's certainly a lot more than ten. I'd say there's between 25 to 30 different realms in the 616 MU (not including the infinite number of alternative time lines), which completely compromises the understanding of the Asgardians, Olympians, Egyptian gods and Dr Strange's recent misinterpreted discovery. Dormammu, Hades, Hela and Mephisto all come from separate demon realms. Valhalla, Olympus and Heaven are also separate realms. Plus more from Norse Mythology. I don't see how you think there could be so few after reading about so many examples. - Yeah, uh, radiation poisoning doesn't give you superpowers. It kills you. See, when the Marvel creators first heard that radiation sickness mutates the body, they thought superpowers was a pretty reasonable outcome, when in fact it actually just rots the body and creates disgusting deformations, which was common knowledge even during WW2, before Marvel comics began, so I'm not sure how they came to that conclusion. - There are potentially tens of thousands of suns in our universe and you're suggesting we have divine, supremely powerful gods all trying to represent the same one? - People very rarely think in grammatical sentences, especially during general activity. People mostly think with their emotions. Even during problem solving, people very rarely think in grammatical sentences. - "End of the world threats" do not make you want to murder your beloved team mates. - That still doesn't explain why 99.9% of all the Earth-bound threats take place in a single country. - That's not what I meant. In Marvel Comics, characters' understanding is based on their intelligence (the strength of one's receptors inside their brain tissue) and not on the knowledge they have. For example, a child is much, much more intelligent than an adult, but an adult's understanding is usually far greater due to their far more extensive knowledge, experience and education. 3) - Thanks for that. I've been curious about this for nearly a year now. I couldn't find the answer in their databases so I wasn't sure. The timeline I can understand, but none of the gods are aware of the infinitely vast number of realities, we have a multitude of gods all vying to represent a single sun when there's thousands of others they can claim, characters who think in sentences as though they're trying to memorise a speech, reading out loud or talking to themselves, radiation poisoning that enhances the body and provides "powers" instead of completely rotting the body away with absolutely no explanation as to why it's so wonderfully magical, even though it's also fatal in the MU, the idea that intelligence and knowledge are the same thing and that people always think in worded sentences, as well as the unlikelyhood of nearly all the superpowered threats taking place in one country. It should be more global like The Ultimates. Just saying. |
