Ultimately Off-Topic VI: Another Star Trek Reference

[Plawsky]

Joe Carnahan might direct Daredevil, thats so awesome! However the bigger news might be that Galactus may be owned by Disney again.

Tho for me, Carnahan's Grey being so awesome, has me totally pumped for Daredevil.

Holy balls. If Marvel Studios was able to take on Silver Surfer and Galactus, I might die from happiness. I'd really want them to get the whole F4 franchise back, but this is at least a start. And as much as I'd love to see Marvel Studios do some street-level Marvel movies, I know that would take away time from the Avengers/Cosmic epics that they're currently excelling at. So if Daredevil and Spidey have to stay away from Marvel, so be it.

That said, how sick would a Heroes for Hire movie be? I'm assuming they could still do it, since I don't think anyone else would have rights to Power Man and Iron Fist. It would be awesome if Spidey and DD could show up too, but there are plenty of other characters that they could use. Or a Heroes for Hire TV show set in MCU continuity. THAT would be awesome, probably even better than a movie.

Man, I hope that DC can get their stuff together so we can see a big film Universe like Marvel's soon.

Oi, wyo!

I loved what Loeb did to Cable at the end of X-Sanction #4.

Seeing Cable as a full human at last, cured by his daughter Hope, was one of the most beautiful moments in comics for me.

Now, MrV, if you liked that, I must ask if you read the Duane S. Cable series, and, if so, what did you think of the last little moment?

I haven't read that series. What happened?

Personally, for me X-Sanction's ending was big. I have hated Jeph Loeb since ULTIMATUM, but what he did with Cable shed some sympathy from me at last.

It was the series in which Cable was Hope's father, from baby (escaping Messiah Complex) to teenager (venturing forth into Second Coming). The pay-off is at the end, and well worth it, through a realization of the father-daughter dynamic.

[Plawsky]

The Cable series was so much better than X-Sanction in so many ways. I loved that book.

Aye. If you liked those little flashbacks to Cable raising Hope that were peppered in X-Sanction, then you will love Duane S.' Cable, especially the Hope one-shot that is included in one of the trades (a collection of some back-up shorts).

[Chaos_Alfa]

Rick Remender, Mark Waid and Jason Aaron stuff. I'm still not convinced with Iron Man and Thor getting relaunched, they're going to be relaunched again in 2013 or renumbered, i wonder which lol.

Avengers 3 needs to have Ultimate Galactus. That would be awesome.

Agreed! I think the worst possible outcome here would be if Fox just rushes a Daredevil movie to keep the rights. Usually when movies are rushed, nothing good comes of it. And it's not like they did a very good job with Galactus and the Silver Surfer before. Marvel is the one doing more cosmic plots with Guardians of the Galaxy and Thanos. They need Galactus and Silver Surfer way more than Fox does. I hope this goes through or I hope Daredevil reverts back to Marvel. This whole message board should celebrate if it does.

Double Post

Stupid internet. Posting my post before I've posted it.

[Robbie_Jee]

The good politicians?! .... I wouldn't say all that.


Here the essential of Democrats and Republicans.

Dems want a large government base; i.e more social programs.

Surely a government base would refer to governemnt bonds and their investors?

I don't know what you mean about "Social Programmes"? I've never heard that before.

Besides, polticians know nothing about sociology, human interaction or human behaviour.

How will a social programme effect/alter society? Surely individiualising the nation into different social-programmes can only lead to conflict and a lack of understanding between different social groups?

Republicans want a small government base; i.e let the free market do it's thing and get government out of the way as much as possible.

This part really confuses me. The Republicans ARE government.

The democrats are only marginally better but if you ask me the real difference between the two is that the Democrats are a bunch of pussys and the republicans are the loud mouths.

You're not the first person I've head this from. This seems to be the common consensus.

It also seems like a massively inncacurate evaluation of the way things are. What are the Dem's afraid of?

The only true hero is



That guy is going to be president some day. I just know it.

What does he hope to change? What good do you think he will bring?

@Plawsky (and anyone else who has read JMS's run) Thor #600! Holy crap! I think I need to buy a new copy just because of how sweaty my hands got reading it! I can't remember the last time a comic sucked me like that!

Sucked you?

Another americanism that confuses me.

Forget deadpool people need to find this

A non-powered guy with a gun killing everybody in the MU like all the telepaths, all of the X-Men and Avengers and Hulk? No thanks. Even with adimantium bullets, it seems way too unbelievable to me. What can a guy like the Punisher do against magnetism, telepathy, spider-sense and healing factors?

That's why I say the bun shouldn't be too thick. The thicker the bun the more moisture you have to put on it to counter act the damn dryness of the bun.

And that's why I said well done. I even said it should be the number one rule.

I don't mind you arguing my suggestion. But I'm a little confused as what exactly you disagree with. I'm not even sure if I disagree with you.

I completely disagree with that statement. You know .... wait a minute!

Is that all you're going to say?

You dislike tommatoes??

ummm ... didn't you just counter act what you just said

How so? I'm meerly stating the importance of keeping the right balance between moisture and lots of meaty products.

Thin bread ain't always gona solve all your problems.

Depends on the taste you are going for. I love mayonnaise, so often times I will use a thick coating of mayonnaise with a dab of mustard between the meat.

Hardly gona change the taste.

I don't like Pickles on my sandwich. Another reason to avoid the pickle. Too much salt.

Pickles and pickle are two completely different things.

HEY!!! Didn't I just say this awhile ago? :biggrin

You seem to think I was trying to argue with you.

When in actual fact, I was agreeing with you.

This whole time, in fact.

I would never limit the option of meats to a few!

I never recommended that he/they/you/anybody should.

Nothing wrong with wafer thin ... if you put a lot of that wafer thin meats on it.

Yeah nothing wrong. But not ideal. There's much better ham you can buy for just a little over the same price. Good ham is cheaper than a lot of people think. I can get loads of it in any supermarket in the UK for just a couple of quid.

But watch out for those wafer thin mints when you're on a full stomach. I hear they can be killers!

I wouldn't put any in a sandwich.

There are like zero trainee programs here in America for that level. And there are internship programs but internships are mainly just for college going students. Americans are just screwed either way it goes.

edit:

that is one thing I like about Europe, you guys still have Apprentice programs for people

There are loads of apprenticeships and training programmes is America!

I loved X-Sanction. Was very good. Very excited to see what Loeb will be doing in the future.

Now, MrV, if you liked that, I must ask if you read the Duane S. Cable series, and, if so, what did you think of the last little moment?

I'm glad I read it, it made X-Sanction that more important and better. X-Sanction was slightly better though IMO.


Marvel NOW! Q&A: Thor!

[Drz]

And it's not like they did a very good job with Galactus and the Silver Surfer before. Marvel is the one doing more cosmic plots with Guardians of the Galaxy and Thanos. They need Galactus and Silver Surfer way more than Fox does. I hope this goes through or I hope Daredevil reverts back to Marvel. This whole message board should celebrate if it does.

Fox rushed X-Men with the right creative team and made the best X-Men movie they've ever done. Having Daredevil moved to Marvel would be just bland, Disney is way more interested in doing superhero cape stuff, why would i want that for Daredevil when i can get Joe Carnahan doing a hardcore 70s thriller?! Who on earth wouldn't want that?

Jason Aaron on his Thor ideas:

Well, that speculation was exactly correct. Aaron and Ribic are indeed the team for Marvel's new Thor: God of Thunder series, starting in November as part of the publisher's Marvel NOW! relaunch. Fitting the Marvel NOW! mandate, the series takes place in established Marvel Universe continuity but also is intended to be a fresh start for new and lapsed readers. It's introducing a new villain — the ominously named "God Butcher" — who is set to plague Thor through three different eras.

Aaron: In part. I do flash back and show a young Thor in action, but he's actually just one of three Thors that I want to focus on. This first story is an epic tale that plays out over the course of thousands of years. So we spend time with young Thor in the Viking age — the young, hotheaded god of the Vikings, who loves to come down to Midgard and get into trouble.

In the present, we see Thor the Avenger on a journey that takes him to the far corners of space, interacting with all sorts of new space gods and wondrous new locations.

And then we also see old King Thor, who's the last king of Asgard, thousands of years in the future, where something has gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Linking all these eras and Thors together is one villain, an all-new character, who is basically, at least initially, a serial killer of gods. He's a guy with a serious axe to grind against all immortal beings in the cosmos, and he's going around doing his best to kill them all off, one at a time, as brutally as possible. That villain's story unfolds over the course of all these different eras. He starts as a serial killer of gods, but by the end, he has become something even more frightening.

Nrama: That's "the God Butcher," correct?

Aaron: Yes. Gorr the God Butcher.

I can't help but to feel Aaron is once again inspired by Grant Morrison with this 3 different time eras for his Thor arc.

I think Heroes for Hire would probably work better as a TV series, and yes, I would watch the hell out of that.

I would really like to see more interconnectivity among the Marvel films. I see no reason why Sony and 20th Century Fox wouldn't be willing to cut a deal to allow Spider-Man, the X-Men, or the FF to make appearances in the Avengers film series, and vice versa. With a little bit of inter-studio cooperation, these guys could reach out and expand the Marvel Universe in a big way that would make DC's half-hearted JLA effort look pitiful by comparison.

How will a social programme effect/alter society? Surely individiualising the nation into different social-programmes can only lead to conflict and a lack of understanding between different social groups?

Social Programs ... like government aid/rules/regulations to help out the people. And for the record, these politicans aren't soulless zombies walking around. They are people good people, bad people, indifferent people, they are elected officials who appoint other people.

I think it's insulting to say they know nothing about human interaction or human behavior.

This part really confuses me. The Republicans ARE government.

Yeah don't worry, it confuses the heck out of me too.

You're not the first person I've head this from. This seems to be the common consensus.

It also seems like a massively inncacurate evaluation of the way things are. What are the Dem's afraid of?

Brother, if I knew that

What does he hope to change? What good do you think he will bring?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I just know he's very charasmatic and he seems to be climbing to the top of the political ladder mighty fast.
All that showboating he's doing tells me one important fact, he's going to eventually run for president. And if he can keep it in his pants long enough, he will get it.

A non-powered guy with a gun killing everybody in the MU like all the telepaths, all of the X-Men and Avengers and Hulk? No thanks. Even with adimantium bullets, it seems way too unbelievable to me. What can a guy like the Punisher do against magnetism, telepathy, spider-sense and healing factors?

Realism? I just said it's a fun comic.

Magnetism -- Use non magnetic bullets

Telepathy -- Set the house to blow upon entering

Spider-Sense -- Make Spider man jump into the bullet by putting a couple of well placed shots. (He's done it before)



Healing Factors -- Blow up every last DNA molecule

The fun of the book imho is how he does all this stuff.


Okay, now about this

And that's why I said well done. I even said it should be the number one rule.

I wouldn't put any in a sandwich.

I'm not sure why you think I'm arguing with you here. I wasn't. That was not my intent and I apologize if that how it seemed. I was actually agreeing with you and just saying what I like in a sandwich.

And the thin wafer mints was a monty phyton joke. I wasn't saying put any of them in a sandwich. COME ON THAT SKIT IS A CLASSIC?!!

I'm going to need way more COWBELLS.
