Ultimately Off-Topic VII: The Miles Frontier

[wyokid]

Remember when Deadpool took bets at the beginning of AvX?



Well...



Pixar storyboard artist Bobby Rubio's Avengers Assemble variant!

Looks like Deadpool is the official hero of AvX. just look at him in his Phoenix costume.

Yeah it's a play on the word Badass. It's said a lot in our rap music.

"So you think you're a badman?" Would be an example of how it started off, I think.

We replace "someone" or "a man" with just "man" a lot, so it's like "Man comes up to me wanting to throw down..." or "Man thinks he hard cuz he's packing a tool." are a couple of examples of how "man" is used in English speech.

Also, "My freind, my buddy, my mate" is replaced with "my man". If you've got a mate round your house and your girlfriend is about to put the kettle on you'd be like "man wants a drink" or something. "Man" refers to the male, but with out saying "the man" or "a man". And if you don't know someone's name, you'd refer to them as "man".

We also replace "thing" with "ting". Example: "You do your ting, I do my ting"

And "What guarn?" or "What be guanin then?" Means "what's going on".

And a "nause" is an incompetent fool.

If anyone ever gets confused with a slanguage terminology, use the Urban Dictionary.

You can even type in your town or city. It's more comprehensive than the Oxford English Dictionary.

Ah ok. Thanks. =) I love Urbandictionary.

Now you ruin my off-topic thread?

Who made it a damn norm that all off-topic threads had to be stupid Star Trek references?

Screw this!

It started with "The Search for Plawsky" as the title for the second thread. That mirrored the second Star Trek film "The Search for Spock." I think I suggested that one because Plawsky never posted on our thread. =p

Which reminds me:
Plawsky, I recently downloaded The Manhattan Projects #1 and Secret #1 for free on Comixology and they were both pretty good. I have to say that I enjoyed the art for Secret more, but the writing on The Manhattan Projects more. I'm unsure if I'll buy more, but they were both great reads. How have the most recent issues of The Manhattan Projects been?

IT'S ABOUT DANG TIME!

Seriously, get more Manhattan projects. The art gets better (well, it's more that you realize more how perfect it is for the story; I've loved it all along), and the story gets even crazier. I loved the first issue, and it's probably by least favorite of the series. I can't recommend it enough. Every month, it's the best book I read.

As for secret, I've only read the first issue. I liked it just fine, but it was nothing mind-blowing. The twist was cool, but predictable. I'm sure there will be a lot more to it in the future, but I couldn't justify the money spent on it, so I'll have to check it out later.

But seriously, Manhattan Projects.

Not digging this new title.

Skottie Young is awesome! Anyone reading his OZ work, great series to have on your shelf and read to kids. I will be buying the baby title for sure it is a shame that he will not be doing art work for it though. Is it bad that none of the Marvel Now stuff looks interesting to me, it is kind of pushing me away from even trying more Marvel titles and I love Marvel characters more then DC's.

Not digging this new title.

I had a new concept that wasn't a stupid Star Trek pun and was simpler, but then Plawsky had to come impose his dictatorship and ruin it.

Oh, I liked the Star Trek stuff, pretty much anything as long as it was not Ultimate Comic related becuase you know, this is the Ultimate thread and this is the "off-topic" part of it.

I can't tell if you are really mad or just poking fun.

Lol ok. I'll probably download a few more. When the Japanese sent the little robot samurai through the portal I was like, "YES!" XD
I'm sure I'll grow to like the art though. The way he treats his lines reminds me of Chris Burnham's style on the new Batman, Incorporated issues. He uses a lot of random curvilinear lines that aren't really necessary.

The way that Hickman wrote Secret it seemed like it was a Bourne / Bond type movie. I just don't think the espionage thriller stuff works well in comics, but there are obvious exceptions. The coloring sort of bugged me in that one because each panel would use only one shade of a color.

Hey MrV, you PM'd me asking if I'd like to be the first to post in your thread. Looks like I was! :D

But remember to try and make the next one Ultimately Off-Topic VIII - Beam Me Up Robbie and your golden! ;)

And I HATE Star Trek with a passion (although the new one by Abrams was good) but you gotta stick to tradition. Plawsky got really hated on last time by giving it a bad title but this time I think he's done an excellent job. :)

I know you know well how much harm following tradition has done to society. Otherwise we would have never had that chat about socioeconomics a while back.

Yes, but I don't see any fault in this system. ;)

Wait how are they gonna bring in Apocalypse if a page from issue 25 of WatXM shows Evan still at the school?

Genesis/Evan doesn't necessarily have to become Apocalypse. Remember the whole point of his story is disprove that evil in inherent and show how society shapes evil people. In his case he could still fight off his transformation.

Also, there is that creepy woman who spits bees still carrying Angel's unborn child. That one could become the next Apocalypse too like Archangel did.
