I remember when I got my hands on my first YoMega, I thought it was so damn cool. Then I realized it took away a lot of the skill of the “Sleep” and I started only used it for tricks that I needed to have that longer hang time.

Kids today will never know the joy the first time you make a standard YoYo sleep. I was so…

I’ve started reading these comics to my 6 year old daughter. Now her favorite characters are Hawkgirl from the Justice League cartoon and Squirrel Girl. She wants a Doreen costume, which is cool, but she wants me to dress up as Tippy Toe...

This one works as a single panel and it is one of my favorites.

To me the problem is they will need a decent chemist. Black Powder and Smokeless Powder are not interchangeable. Heck, pistol powder and rifle powder are really tough to switch back and for because one burns faster than the other.

I kind of like the idea of changing K’un L’un. Keep the Chinese sounding names but maybe make them more Indian in appearance as many Chinese martial arts find their roots in India. It could be a cool way to keep it believable and still in feel with the origins of the character.

As a person who read the original comics, I can tell you I’m happier than hell that Danny is white. Through Danny and Luke’s relationship I learned about what White Privilege was before it became a buzz word. Danny didn’t grow up in the US, he grew up in K’un L’un where HE was the outsider and when he came back to the…

It is great to read about someone else who was affected by this comic as strongly as I was in their youth. For me it was in a different direction though.

As far as why they didn’t kill Sarah Connor as a baby, they didn’t know which Sarah Connor was the correct one so they had to find her in a phone book, then just started killing random Sarah Connors figuring eventually they would get the right one. This is because most of the information from that time frame was not…

This is one of the reasons I prefer the method they use in Schlock Mercenary. They use a “Teraport” that opens tiny wormholes that your atoms just slip though to get from one place to another. You are still you, just kind of pushed through millions of little funnels...

I don’t think anyone is going to say that Asians are a privileged class in the US. While I agree that the story may “Work” that way but it just won’t have the social impact that having a white Danny Rand would.

I’m super all for diversity as long as the character’s race isn’t a big part of what makes the character. You couldn’t make Luke Cage or T’Challa anything but black because it is a big part of their character, but in my opinion Jessica Jones could be pretty much any race, same with Matt Murdock (although I think the…

See, but I just don’t see that working in the Danny/Luke relationship. A lot of what made their early comics great is that Luke was helping Danny understand that minorities got the short end of the stick in the US, if you make Danny Asian then you lose that aspect of their relationship and miss an opportunity to…

Thank you for being another person who understands what was so wonderful about the dynamic between Luke and Danny. I’ve felt like I have been talking to a wall when I try to explain this to people.

People who say Danny Rand shouldn’t be white need to read more classic Power Man and Iron Fist comics. Most of the stories that both characters were together in at least and an undercurrent of Luke explaining what it is like being a minority to a White guy. If you make Danny a minority you lose the opportunity to use…

Sorry, but no, Danny Rand HAS to be white because a huge part of his character is dealing with White Privilege.

Luke Cage and Danny Rand’s relationship is built around the fact that Danny never understood that he had White Privilege and Luke explaining what White Privilege was (of course this was way before we had the…

I didn’t love it but I did liked it.

Let’s hope that’s sooner rather than later, and not forever afflicted by Marvel and Fox’s current spat over the Fantastic Four movie rights.

Completely agree there. I think they are probably holding out for a bigger cut of the profits, or it could just be a matter of confusion on who owns what amount of the rights to the movie. Sometimes the contracts get super muddled with buyouts and rights changing hands. They could have just said “F’ it, we can do this…

Yeah, I think that is a “Sweep it under the rug” thing there. Even if AoD had happened I don’t think they would have kept the robot hand mostly because if we can’t do it with today’s tech how the heck did he do it in the middle ages.

While this is true to some extent (because they don’t own the rights to Army of Darkness which is sad), think of it this way. The closing scene of AoD (the second one not the original) where he is still working at S-Mart and telling his story to co-workers then all hell breaks loose? That is this series right now. If…
