Aloha,
Caught the last 3 minutes of the show. Colbert was funny as usual and Joe Q. was pretty sharp. Civil War was the topic and it was well received by Colbert and the audience. I've said it before-Civil War is one of the best ideas Marvel has had in a lOOOOng time.

This was nothing more than a fluff piece designed to plug Civil War. I have never watched this show before (his interview with the DC rep was pretty funny, but otherwise I didn't find any of the rest appealing), so I don't know if this was a typical interview for him, but it was short and had absolutely nothing new in it.

Waste of time.

Normally Colbert is angry and beligerent during interviews, yelling about what's good for America. He's a hilarious improviser. He seems to have soft peddled on Joey, since comics already get enough bad press without Stephen Colbert, hugely influential among the young adult crowd, making them look bad.

Well I got the impression that Colbert is a fan of comics. Why would he want to be beligerant to someone who is the head of an industry he likes?

 

[Thirteen Shadows]

Man, I love Colbert!

He and Steve Carell were the best of the daily show for me.

Colbert is playing a role. In many interviews, it's people who are clearly worthy of respect, but Colbert, who is playing a Bill O'Reilly parody, jokingly attacks them anyway. There is no harm meant.

Yeah I know what you mean. Sometimes it is hard to tell what side he is on. This time though I think he genuinly likes comics and didn't want to harass Joe Q.

When was this on?

Newsarama.com has an interview with Joe Q. about his appearance on the show. Turns out he was mad that they added the 60's "sound effect" bits into the interview. Check it out

...He went on the show praising Colbert as a God and kissing ass and he's made that they added a few sound effects?

Colbert went REALLY easy on him.

Colbert is brilliant. I love him and his show. I was really surprised when I seen Joe Q come on the show. It was awesome!

Civil War is a brilliant premise. But certain aspects have been VERY POORLY played (coughSpideyonwrongsideandbetrayingcharacterwithunmaskingcough). I personally think it should have gone down Iron Man, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and half the X-Men and so forth vs. Captain America, Spidey, Daredevil, other X-Men etc. I think X-Men should've been divided into factions over this instead of "staying out."

But i cannot stress enough how wrong it is (sorry I just finally read #233 yesterday) to have Peter unmask himself because it is the "law" even tough he says "the law sucks," since when hash e listened to the law if he thought iwas morally wrong? And him being the lap dog of Iron Man and punching out Captain America just rings so false. They are doing this all so they can have the very contrived "epiphany moment" where Spidey changes sides. Personally I rather have that moment come earlier when Iron Man says violence is neccessary and when PEte st ands up against it and saying that the law steps over moral and constitutional bounds that IRon Man drugged Peter and forced him to reveal his identity and opening a can of worms about how ethically wrong the Avengers are.

Sorry I'm just venting because I finally read ASM #533 and Peter's "Rationale" about doing right by the law (coming from the man who has spent most of his career wanted by the cops, wanted for murder and regularly tresspasses and beats guy for a "hobby") is just so....I'm rambling now.

Civil War = Good Great idea

What their doing to Spidey in it = Wrong Bad idea

Wha? I would think that a big Spider-Man fan like yourself would hate what Marvel's doing to him.

Spider-man the centre of a major event? One in which we know he'll pick the good side in the end, while all the time being a key player? Well written stories? You can see why he'd like civil war. I like civil war. The tony assistant stuff doesnt annoy me becuase he's NOT acting like his lapdog and the costume is a plot device. Its a different story to the other so you shouldn't take your negative views into it. Sorry to rant and answer for him, but I'm really liking civil war, especially when i read over it, and i wanted to defend it.

Aloha,
Good for you. I predict that the entire 616 Marvel Universe is going to be retconned by Sentry,Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange within the next two years.Of course The Illuminati will be the major players in how it's done.I'm enjoying Civil War. Spidey has outlived many changes.He's been unmasked before, he's had costume changes before.And he's made some DUMB decisions before.I am glad that he explained to Tony that he was just jerking his chain by calling him "Boss" all the time.The character Spider-Man is greater than any one writer,editor,artist or publisher.If Marvel went bankrupt (again) there would still be a Spider-Man character, internationally recognized. Spider-Man is at the very heart of Civil War-he will play a greater role in the Marvel Universe than he has ever played as a result of it and its conclusion.
