Unless you caused the avalanche, you didn't win. You just became the luckiest person ever to cross the Hulk's path is all.
Not really, because there is a phrase called ''last man standing''...true, the avalanche probably finished hulk off, but if he was so tough, he would have been up and ready to finish the fight, like wolverine...so wolvie won by tko.

Last man standing simply means you survived some sort of situation. It doesn't necessarily mean you "defeated" a situation.
If Wolverine wasn't included in the avalanche, he didn't earn the title "Last Man Standing". He simply earned the title "Person who didn't get nailed by an avalanche."
And if it WERE an avalanche, chances are that Hulk would probably survive until his gamma energy melted a hole to the surface, where Wolverine would either freeze to death, or die of suffocation first.
No, Wolverine could NOT dig his way to the top. People in an avalanche can't tell which way is up or down.
And in a rock slide, Hulk would probably get bashed around, and then like with every other instance someone tries this stunt with him, he'd just launch the rocks from his body, more pissed. Where Wolverine would probably just get stuck under the rocks, and starve.
And that's not a win for the Hulk, if Wolverine starves or dehydrates to death. That just mean that Wolverine starved or dehydrated to death while the Hulk took off.
"Last Man Standing" means that someone survived a heavy conflict where they finished their opponent. Or else you're the winner of the Gulf War, simply because your country was involved in it, and you were standing after the fight that you didn't help finish.
Now, if Wolverine INSTIGATED the avalanche or rock slide, THEN he'd win, simply because that was his weapon of choice.
And TKO's are for professional fighters where it's unsafe for the opponent to continue fighting, not a fight where someone is incapacitated by some natural event.
Nah. I'm sure there are others like his Captain Universe costume and maybe the more recent Iron Spider.
It's interested because when you think about it going by the power stytem costumes like Bag-Man don't seem possible.

They could have kept fighting. Wolverine could have anyway, but hulk was stopped. I am betting the fight took enough out of hulk to just make him weak enough for the avalanche to finish him, so I personally consider that a wolverine win.
Wolverine was up and ready to go again, hulk was out cold. I'd say wolverine won it, simply because he seems to have worn hulk out enough for him to be wiped out by the avalanche.
I respect your view but you're probably not gonna change my mind, so we gotta agree to disagree here.

Hulk's fought way more dangerous and damaging opponents than Wolverine and kept going. Seeing how he's had holes where his heart should be, without eyes, beaten up severely, and kept going on full rampage. So it seems kind of lack luster.
But yes, agree to disagree.

becasue it can't. hulk gets stronger as he gets angrier. pure and simple.
But Colossus is more durable/invulnerable.
See Secret Wars.
I tend to like characters that can take more abuse than just dish it out.
All respect to the Hulk but... I hate him. Loved it when Juggernaut kicked his butt.

Yet you didn't know about the 616 thing? Hmm, me think that was moy noobish of you.
I think we have a conflict of the definition of noob. You see the 616 thing really doesn't matter all that much to me.
I see what you mean about Thor. But I tend to derive everything I know about Thor in comicdom from Marvel. I haven't really delved much into the history of the Norse gods.
Cool info, though. Thanks.
I just think that the Marvel Thor has more power of character and background than the Hulk... and is equal to Superman.
Sasquatch
07-05-2006, 02:25 PM
Also if he read the Ultimate title he'd know that all that technology/gadget mumbo jumbo was just BS created by Loki...The man dissapeared from his prison out of thin air.
Hmm. Thanks, Savage.
But how was it that the Ultimates were able to subdue Thor easily after his belt was removed if it was just BS created by Loki?

The arc is not over yet. All that is known is that these events were manipulated by Loki and that Thor has recently dissapeared from his prison cell with no sign of how. Just a bright light was shown and he was gone.
One theory is that Loki was able to warp things so that his powers were gone, another is that Odin took away Thor's powers for some reason or another (only to help him later apparantly). It's still a mystery but everything's coming to a climax though. One thing is certain though: both Thor and Loki are the real deal.

It's not Thor's fault that you can't find anything interesting about him. I liked Man Without Fear, actually. That may have just been due to Romita Jr.'s art, though.

I did read some of Bendis' DD. I thought it was well-written but not really that interesting. And I don't actually care if you think Thor is interesting or not. He's already been written out of the comics for several years, so obviously Marvel doesn't even think he's worth ****. That's about as harsh an insult as Thor can get, so I came to terms with everyone else thinking Thor is lame a long time ago.

Whatever, his title still probably won't sell, or it'll require him to change so much that he'll be practically unrecognizable--or worse, indistinguishable from Ultimate Thor. The majority of comic readers seem to take jaydawg's side on the issue, after all.

Because the real Thor is more powerful (much) than a guy who derives power from a belt. It just made me feel better about the Ultimate Colossus character and his strength... though they seem to be doing the same thing with him now that they are doing with the true Colossus...
that being nothing.
LouFerignoDemon
07-05-2006, 06:48 PM
But as far as Ultimate is concerned, his power DID come from his belt. Which could be explained as following the actual myth of Thor, where most of his strength came from his belt/girdle.
Sasquatch
07-05-2006, 06:54 PM

That's really interesting. I'll have to read up on the ancient Thor mythos.
Any suggestions as far as books written on the subject?
LouFerignoDemon
07-05-2006, 08:33 PM
The Volsung saga is pretty awesome. But be prepared, since mythical Thor is more of a womanizing, barbarous, alchoholic rather than heroic in any fashion. Low brain power and high physical power, a drive to fight and commit adultery like few others.
As for the Nibelungenlied, it's good too.
Just go search for the Edda's, and you'll find a wealth of stuff. Like Thor kicking a dwarf on a funeral pyre simply because he was pissed off.

I just read a comic that came with a marvel legends figure, pyro. it was dd vs pyro to find the killer of some chick, who hyde (a brutal and evil bastard) was in jail for. upon discovering hyde is innocent (of this crime anyway), despite the fact that hyde has made it clear he WILL kill and brutalise again, Matt Murdock agrees to take his case and vows to help Hyde walk free.
Its that retarded bull**** that makes me HATE him. so hes innocent of this crime, he has killed plent of others and said he will do again.
I'm going to play Nemesis now and smash him as wolverine and magneto :mad:

Woah, that must be some bad writing or you read it wrong or something because that sounds nothing like the Matt Murdock I know.

LOL! yeah. Or the one about how a frost giant steals Mjolnir as a wedding present to his bride. Which Loki hears about and seeing an oppotunity for mischief tells Thor about it. Thor then decides to get it back. By disguising himself as the bride. Frost giants being b-fugly mother f**kers he gets away with it. Then he nearly goes through with the ceremony, as he's tanked to the gills. Then the frost giant bride-groom take out his prize (Mjolnir) and presents it to his bride (IE Thor). As soon as the hammer is in his hands Thor kills the giant who stole it. Then both giant clans gathered for the feast.

oooh. Now I see what you mean. Yeah, he's very heavy into the law, even moreso than others, so he believes a person should only go to prison if they are guilty of the crime they are charged with. If they are guilty but justice is not served, he puts on the tights. Pretty much The Punisher's opposite.

Eh. The way I see it is he's not doing anything any other hero isn't doing. The only difference is that he's not as disillusioned about it as others. He knows he's a vigilante. He knows what he's doing is wrong, but he also knows that it has to be done. He doesn't claim to be a hero, farless for a superhero. Just a guy doing his 'job'.
Oh well. To each his own. :)
As for gameplay, he's gotta be a cross between Spider-man, Elektra, and Captain America. Can't wait to see that billy club bounce on some jaws. :D

Is the following a reasonable list of whom to expect as a playable character?
CONFIRMED
Spider-Man
Wolverine
Capt. America
Elektra
Blade
The Thing
Dr. Strange
Thor
Ghost Rider
STRONGLY SPECULATED
Ironman
Daredevil
POTENTIAL
Human Torch
Mr. Fantastic
Invisible Woman
Cyclops
Nightcrawler
Venom
Punisher
Black Cat
Please critique and/or add to this list.

I should add that the methodology I used to come up with the "potentials" was basically which heroes would not only be feasible, but also somewhat unique. It was in no way based on any rumors I have read anywhere.
Thus, there was no reason to include people like Colossus, because he would essentially play the same way as The Thing.
Looking back, I feel like the Human Torch might be too much of a cross between Ghost Rider and Ironman to actually make his way in there. And Punisher is kind of hard to pull off. He might be good as an NPC in a FMV cut scene.

Wouldn't Venom be essentially the same as playing as Spider-Man, only with tendrils instead of webs? :confused:
jaydawg
07-06-2006, 08:14 PM
Exactly. And since when do any of those "potentials" have potential? The only thing we can do is confirm who isnt playable and thats Jean Gray, Namor, Bruce Banner (which more or less means no Hulk) and Silver Surfer.
TheCorpulent1
07-06-2006, 08:18 PM
Banner wasn't playable in Hulk: UD because the devs realized how much he sucked in the first Hulk game. Maybe Bruce'll appear as an NPC, but when he transforms into the Hulk he'll be playable.
Probably not, though. :(

Well, Venom is similar to Spider-Man but they were both playable in games like Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage. And even back then, they still played different enough. Not to mention, a playable Venom could add the layer of depth that Raven seems to be trying to achieve when they say that choosing certain combinations of characters as a team would affect gameplay. Also Venom and Spider-Man have fundamentally different vulnerabilities. Venom is susceptible to sonic and heat attacks, while Spider-Man can be beaten by enemies of extreme strength. These relatively nuanced differences could play an important role in the game.
As for the potentials, like I said, it was purely idle speculation on my part. The reason I didn't include people like the Hulk is that he would seem to be overpowered. He will obviously be an NPC at the very least, though.

Remember, its not just Dr. Doom. It's an alliance of EVERY VILLAIN IN THE UNIVERSE. Including possibly Venom's greater enemy, Carnage.

I've pretty much lost all my optimism towards playing as the core Defenders (Hulk, SS, Dr.Strange and Namor). And I'm pretty sure its been stated that the Wii version gets four exclusives to compensate for the graphical disadvantage (although considering that the 360 version is simply shinier than the other ports, I dont see the big deal).
I've said it before...
Flashback mission of Namor vs. the original Human Torch in NY during the early 40's = :up: x infinity.

To be equally as blunt. I've never seen the point of Marvel most characters. They are either Spider-man or the FF with different looks and powers. Only a few have ever consistantly gone above the typical Marvel soap-opera crap that I hate. Those are the ones I read, Ironman, Punisher, and the Avengers (until they were X-ed up :down ).

a new gaming experience???? instead of purchasing a wii you could flip through some channels and get the same new "gameplay experience" wii is stupid,virtual reality seems to be nintendos goal but thats not the way to go.
So it's better to stick to the same thing in a better looking package forever? Progress has to be made in everything and Nintendo is doing that.
who the hell wants to play a game like marvel ultimate alliance with some stupid antenna-like configuration. how whould that work for people like spiderman??? heres your answer it WONT!!!!!! nintendo is going in the wrong direction with the wii.
What antenna-like configuration? It can work for Spider-man b.c the developers will think of one. You probably can't since you have no idea how a game is made.
and by the way, all those games you just mentioned are marios little friends so it still counts as the same thing(zelda,mario,metriod,wario) its all the same. nintendo needs to get a life and come up with something good besides some halfwit plumber who has the same name for his first and last names.
Metroid Prime and Legend of Zelda aren't kids games, they're games for everyone. Mario has more appeal to a younger audience with it's design, but it's still a game anyone can enjoy. A game doesn't need to be graphic with blood and gore or need foul language to be good. M games aren't good b/c they're M, they're good b/c they have good gameplay. Nintendo needs a life? WTF comment is that? They've come up with a lot of great things. The "Mario Mario" is just some **** from the TV show and movie used to explain how Mario and Luigi are called the 'Mario Bros.'

I understand your pain though. I'm not even a big DD fan and I still think it's absurd that they have announced Blade, Ghost Rider, Doc Strange and Elektra but not DD.
Hey! You leave Ghost Rider and the Doc out of this. :mad:
Blade and Elektra are cool though. You can rag on them as much as you wish. :o

actually yes because at the rate nintendos going your ganna have to be lance armstrong to play their games which is stupid.
What antenna-like configuration? It can work for Spider-man b.c the developers will think of one. You probably can't since you have no idea how a game is made.
it cant work because spiderman doesnt have any weapons so if you think that a controller designed to be used as a sword-like object can work for spiderman your obviously the one who has no idea how games are made.

No, it's not good to just change the visuals. Eventually, it gets old. You won't have to be incredibly resilient to play the game, a lot of people who played it at E3 said the controls were good. A little waving of the arm won't kill you.
it cant work because spiderman doesnt have any weapons so if you think that a controller designed to be used as a sword-like object can work for spiderman your obviously the one who has no idea how games are made.
The controller isn't designed for anything specifically. Madden 07 will use it for different moves, ExciteTruck uses it as a steering wheel, Mario Galaxy uses it for a whole bunch of stuff, LoZ uses it for the sword, bow, boomerang, and w/e else in Link's inventory, Red Steel will use it for sword and gun gameplay, and MP3 will use it for gunplay as well. I don't know how games are made, but obviously developers have found ways to use it for more than swordplay.
yes they are, what self respecting person who is older than 10 would enjoy playing as some fairy who plays the flute to call his little horse?and some girl with a suit that lets her roll like a ball?dont even get me started on mario hes so outdated its discusting.if he was cool i would understand but hes just plain lame so he can go to hell and stay there.if you can name 5 good things nintendo has going for them besides people in supersmash bros then ill stop arguing but its practically impossible since almost every character in nintendo land is some kind of mario knock off.
Legend of Zelda is one of the greatest series ever and Ocarina of Time is one of the greatest games ever, so obviously there are a LOT of people who like playing it. Samus is a badass bounty hunter, she's the equivalent of MAster Chief before there was a Master Chief. Mario isn't outdated b/c his games are classics, even the newer ones are enjoyable by a large audience.
What do you mean by 5 good things? I can easily give them to you but I don't know whether you mean characters or the Wii's capabilities. Even if I did, I doubt you'd acknowledge them as valid and just contine with your "Nintendo is teh sux!1!!1".
BTW, your grammar is atrocious.

It's not Nintendo's fault that you are an out-of-shape fatass. Anyways, it's ludicrous that you believe the Wiimote – a small handheld device that requires slight manipulation of the wrist – anticipates an era of video gaming that requires a resting heart rate below 35.
it cant work because spiderman doesnt have any weapons so if you think that a controller designed to be used as a sword-like object can work for spiderman your obviously the one who has no idea how games are made.
No, you are just incapable of forming creative thoughts.
yes they are, what self respecting person who is older than 10 would enjoy playing as some fairy who plays the flute to call his little horse?and some girl with a suit that lets her roll like a ball?
I'm almost 20 and I thoroughly enjoy both the Zelda and Metroid franchises. I should clarify that I'm an Ivy League student and D-1 varsity athlete with a tremendous amount of self-respect.
dont even get me started on mario hes so outdated its discusting.if he was cool i would understand but hes just plain lame so he can go to hell and stay there.if you can name 5 good things nintendo has going for them besides people in supersmash bros then ill stop arguing but its practically impossible since almost every character in nintendo land is some kind of mario knock off.
Five things Nintendo has going for them? Aside from the DS killing every competitor under the sun, the Wii is fast emerging as the potential winner of this generation's console race. Games such as SSBB, Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, and Red Steel are making huge waves in gaming circles.
And I would love to see exactly how you believe franchises such as Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Metroid, and SSB are similar. Aside from the fact that there are usually pretty clearly defined protagonists and antagonists, and the stories generally follow some sort of narrative arc, theres not a whole lot of similarity. I SUPPOSE many of the characters featured could be described as bipel and anthropomorphic...

It would also save a lot in dev costs, seeing as though graphics wouldn't have to be programmed.
But in all seriousness, I think Daredevil might make a better NPC ally then a playable character. It would be just as cool, if not cooler, because it could be much better executed.

I asked you to elaborate on your request, I told you I could if you did. I insulted you b/c you're pathetic in your argument saying "no self-respecting person would play Zelda" [sic]. I read what you said, trying to make out what you were saying with the horrible spelling and grammar, and it was nothing than the usual "I hate Nintendo!! Nintendo is teh suck!!". I don't play Mario Party in my spare time, right now I'm playing GRAW and COD2. So as you can see, my game tastes is rather wide and doesn't include only "toddler games". You said 5 good things, what do you mean by things? characters? games? what? Please do elaborate (that means explain further) on what you are referring to.

Actually DD powers are slightly retooled Spider-man so doing them in a game wouldn't be overly hard. Now what is hard doing in games is super speed characters like Flash or Quicksilver.

the only way I can think they can do that is, when they use superspeed to run and such, everything else gets slowed down. there must be some limit, of course.

Doom and the Masters of Evil are the main focus. Loki also plays an important role as Doom's plan has him stealing Odin's power. Also don't be surprised to find your self beating Hand ninjas. Scorpion is another mentioned (and shown) boss in the game.

You could make the case for Punisher being Marvel's Batman. Neither have powers, and use gadets (in a broad sense guns and explosives are gadgets) to fight crime. Both lost there families to violent crime and swore vengance on all criminals. Both use fear they inspire to half fight their battles. Both use prep time and scouting to take down their foes.
However Punisher kills (and in fact that's his whole thing) Batman doesn't. Punisher feels that justice has completely failed everyone. Batman feels it needs direction (his naturally) to function porperly. These traits that Punisher lacks you find in Daredevil.

Nah, Spidey is just some nerd who got superpowers. DD trained to get his skill. DD also works at night and strikes fear into criminals with both his name and presence. He also has a crimelord enemy, a bird-named enemy, and Elektra is essentially Catwoman and Lady Shiva.

Punisher only has a similar reason for his vigilance and only a few in how they work. He is Batman to the extreme. He isn't Marvel's Batman simply b/c he has no remorse from killing and uses guns and other violent means.
