EDIT - wrong thread.

So lets review: we can be obnoxious and insulting, as long as it involves comic opinions (or lack thereof), but mocking those who are so bored and lame they feel the need to validate themselves to us with general video jackassery is off limits. Just want to make sure I know what the boundaries are.....

 

[Darthphere]

My thoughts...ignore me blabbing about other stuff...

Hey dude, straight from the heart, my cold black heart, I respect what you did here. It takes some courage to post your mug on here, let alone a video. I respect that. You keep it up dude.

 

[SouLeSS]

Oh I get it, it's reverse psychology.

 

[Themanofbat]

I have no problems with what the guy looks like... but that mustache has got to go...

I get mocked all the time about my age and baldness, so will that become off-limits as well?

I was reading Detective Comics and god damn do I love the relationship that Bruce and Selina have. She makes him come off as a regular person who is capable of feeling emotion just like you and me. Dini also made Selina come off as a badass for how she paid back Hush for stealing her heart.

However I do feel mixed on account that I feel that the Batman line needs some reorganization. You have the Green Lantern books and the Superman books where they all feel very connected.

However with the Batman books, particularly with Batman and Detective Comics they feel rather contradictory. In Batman you have Batman dating Jezebel Jet and while in Detective Comics, he's clearly in love with Selina. In Batman the Joker has the scared face and bullet wound on his forehead while he looks perfectly normal in Detective Comics. I'd really like to see Dini and Morrison work together like what Johns does with Robinson and Gates on the Superman titles and with Tomasi on the Green Lantern books.

Oh no guys, we're not done yet.

Titans #7
At one point in this issue, Wally says to Roy that he's uncomfortable with Jericho's loyalties, and he states -- and I quote -- "He comes from such bad blood."

...

Wally West, iconic DC hero, Justice League longtime alumni, father, friend, the greatest Flash of all time, uses the term "bad blood" to describe someone.

Wally West, whose dead cousin once said, and I quote, "We know having his genetics doesn't mean he's a bad guy," in reference to Superboy and Luthor.

"Bad blood."

Judd Winick, ladies and gentlemen. Judd. ****ing. Winick.

(3.9 out of 10)

 

[hippie_hunter]

Winick needs to be replaced by Simone on Titans now.

 

[BrianWilly]

Winick needs to be replaced by my foot up his ass.

Wow it's been a really angry comics week for me hasn't it.

I don't know about anyone else, but I've really been digging the "Old Man Logan" arc.
Still, I feel that if next issue's reveal of Wolverine's reasoning isn't crazy, then I'm pretty sure the whole storyline falls apart.
I liked the cliffhanger from last issue, preparing for Logan's bad-assery to return, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he was broken, but I'm preparing for a letdown (hoping for a pleasant surprise).

p.s.- battle royale featuring Wolvie vs. Cyber/Lady Deathstrike/Sabertooth/Omega Red/Mr. Sinister should be killer (pun intended).

question: should I be bothered by Millar's use of Sabertooth even though he was killed last year? was he brought back and I'm just lame for not knowing?

 

[Shockdingo]

I'm enjoying Old man logan as well. At first I decided to skip it, but then I heard talk of it and checked it out. It's one of the more interesting Wolverine tales in a while to me. I have to say, I actually kinda liked Logan's new do. It's interesting seeing him as a normal family man and pacifist. I'm really curious as to what broke him. I hope it's is nicely thought out.

Oi, you know Corp I applauded you, Darth, thanks, I guess.

To Souless and ManofBat, I've never liked either of you so I really don't care what you think so...**** off.

 

[iloveclones]

^ Corpy, I may be wrong, but I don't think that involved a comic opinion.

God I hope not.



Since I'm not going to post pics or videoes of myself, I won't be that special type of bastard that criticizes someone else for something I don't have the balls to do. I'm a different type of special bastard.

I'm not asking you to love me... you just need to get rid of that "I wanna-be-a-man" wanna-be mustache...

You'd be a much better looking lad without it.

As far as your thoughts went, they're yours, and you're entitled to them, and I respect that... even if I disagreed with most of what you said.

There are pictures of my testicles on-line (attached to my face as well... aahh, the years of being a frontman on stage in a band), along with my wearing women's undergarments and my bald head (ya gotta know where to look)... so I feel that's more than enough for me to poke fun of a ridiculous lil' mustache that wanted to be one...

Do you have a full face recognizable shot posted here? If so you've got the right, if not post up one and let's compare. Though to say there are pictures somewhere in the internets isn't saying much. I've got plenty of pics on the internet cause of my job but I ain't giving out links cause **** you guys (I mean that in a general sense to the internets and not to you in paticular) I don't feel like having random people critique me.

PS if you do post up, let's go away from the testicles angle, I've nightmares enough.

In Community, there is (or was) a photoalbum thread for Hype posters, and I know that a few of mine were donated to that thread over my 8 1/2 years here, so yes, people of the Hype know what I look like... though this generation (meaning the last 6 months) might not be aware...

But the old crowd gives me a jab or two here and there in reference to my looks, and I could care less.



And that mustache has got to go...

 

[moraldeficiency]

There you go then, my bad. Though a link would be a nice final statement so people could equally rip on both of you for your personal choice of looks. Personally I've never thought a guy's opinion of looks count for much other than to let me know the guy commenting was having partial gay thoughts on the guy they were commenting on (not saying you were having such thoughts).

His mustache is gay...

And the gayness stops there!!!

 

[SouLeSS]

I don't know about that, he apparntly loves the High School Musical movies...

 

[moraldeficiency]

You're getting pretty worked up over the stach there, some might say hot and bothered.

Also what's wrong with being gay or having a gay stach? I was only saying that commenting on another man's looks implies a certian gay quality to the level of observation or critique. After all if some guy had zero level of gayness in you then all men would look similiarly repulsive and it wouldn't matter what appearence choices they made.

From a totally straight perspective I don't think I've ever cared how another man looks, in fact the worse they appear to women the better I look by comparison, so win-win. The only reasoning I'd say to critique another dude would be you want them to look better for you, and that does carry a certian connotation.

Anyway... You guys are *******s. Even if you hated the video blog you don't have to be such ***** about it. This is a bought/thought thread. So yeah, this is pretty much about posting your stupid opinion on the internet.
