OMG you are right LOL XD

there was NO origin for Spiderman in the MCU. the character existed before he was dragged into Civil War. Even if it IS breaking continuity with stuff said on screen in the past its not like they have been consistent so far.

meanwhile turns out its a “what if?” kind of deal. this is now known.

seeing how the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been doing this for years to their artists on the Hero side of things, it sounds like par for the course.

hasn’t happened to me.. yet. but ya various comment sections of all the kinja sites have people mentioning it happening to them, and often only for one or two different kinja sites depending on the person.  weird.

considering what he looked like in blue fur for Beast of the X-Men that book cover is not far off.

ugh Star Wars Star Trek and a few other comic books based on movie franchises do nothing but trace photos of the actors as well.  sooooo cheesy I don’t understand how they sell ANY of it.

I forget the name of the comic book artist who did it but there was someone in the business who used photos of porn poses and traced over them for a large amount of their work, with the rest of it not on model with the porno inspired art. seemed pretty obvious but it took a lot of complaints before the company pretende…

that is totally plausable and even likely but who dropped out of making hardware lately? it was a sparse market to begin with and I didn’t notice any quitters (I don’t assume their wasn’t any though).

the powered glasses that sync with your TV was dumb and suffered in sales because of it (and deserved it) but my LG3D TV uses the passive glasses just like 3D cinema so I didn’t even have to pay the 15 bucks to get extra pairs just saw movies in the theatre once in a while. having to wear glasses to watch 3D is no…

not  true! it has.. *checks notes* Half Life Alyx.

thats one. one killer app. *sigh* ya that ain’t gonna support a whole industry XD

enough backlash has convinced them to change those policies (thank gawd).  seems enough people agreed with your sensible take on the situation.

with Meta realizing that forcing a facebook account onto its VR platform was scaring people away, they have lost a way to guarantee monetization from your mere existence on the platform. I wonder how much that factored into their price hike (and how much was pavlovian spite). meanwhile I love 3D for myself but still…

“During the peak of the pandemic there were reports of flights with no passengers, because airline unions or some such nonsense.”

learn to multitask. all these people who say spend your effort elsewhere assume typing something on the internet takes all fucking day. important news, it does not. FFS

oh I know how it works. but you are overlooking the fact that many characters gain secondary characteristics that don’t necessarily seem related. the amount of strength for no reason is a good example

had a reprint of the first issue and ya you are right i had forgotten how 2D he originally was. I gotta remember it was later when they went the sympathetic route. so many heel-face turns. my bad

“I’ve seen rumors that Marvel might go the Malcolm X / Martin Luther King route”

oooooooooh you meant make them black. just say that. because they WERE a Malcolm X Martin Luther King type thing. and it took me a sec to get it because I was judging them on the content of their character. ;)

I don’t know why people don’t…

not a follower of the deepest of lore from Tekken but that new toon doesn’t look in the style or the mood of the games to me (ya I know they are goofy occasionally)

meanwhile you are totally right Gon would be tres kewl.

will YOU like it? then it’ll prob be fine.

the idea that you can’t do anything raunchy these days is way over stated by those wishing more of it was produced.

so how were you wrong? I don’t get how the description you gave proved your words miss chosen.
