Hm. This thread has escalated into some sort of duck-related insanity.

I do like my comics superheroes to be more "Golden Age DC", instead of, "arbitrary differences inspire hate and fear because it reflects our depressingly shitty world." Life's miserable enough without wondering why Marvel's Earth is full of assholes, too.

I think it would be interesting to see a schism between the "normal" mutants - i.e, the ones that look like Emma Frost - and the poor fuckers like Ugly John whose mutant power was to have two faces.

Yes, exactly. There seems to be an on/off switch for mutant fear. And I thought X-Statix and Grant Morrison dealt with it excellently*, but here we are ten years later, and all the writers can do is repeat the same stories of people inventing ways to KILL ALL MUTANTS.

But I'm not trying to compare it to the "real world", I'm just saying that people like Spider-Man are (usually) beloved by the public. But his powers indistinguishable to that of a mutant's.

What the fuck, Wolverine? Why are you still not back from the dead?!?!

Except 99.99% of mutants look like Emma Frost or Gambit.

Is he back from the dead yet? Okay, I'll ask again in five minutes.

Marvel's world consists of gods and superheroes. With Thors, Iron Man, The Hulk and all the others running around, why would the average Joe give such a shit about mutants? Why is everyone trying to wipe them out all the time? What's the difference between Captain America and Wolverine?

Tell the station to keep in down in there! I'm trying to get some sleep.

You know how the best bit in any Aliens game is the pulse rifle sound? And how quickly it gets boring as the Aliens turn into bullet sponges? Imagine the sequel to this, where you're a marine and you run out of all ammunition before the end of the first level. And that's it.

Downvoted.

Yes, if they're going to take away your right of return on digital downloads, then you should be able to have a "try-before-you-buy" type deal. First level free or something?

I mean, I guess Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan were probably super-rich and world famous when they disappeared. Maybe they secretly returned as a crime-fighting duo in Chicago.

Pfft. They only communicate through nude selfies. Like a dick semaphore.

So?

In the envelope they provided, duh.

You have become Shiva, upvoter of worlds.

A "slobbering tumescent creeper"? Someone's been checking out my OKCupid profile!

Banging smokin'-hot cheerleaders and impromptu dancing in the cafeteria to the latest sounds of Kenny Loggins and Cyndi Lauper. What?
