Official JLA discussion thread - Part 2

[Anubis]

A tunic is a skirt. So's a Kilt. People that say they aren't, are simply lying to themselves.

 

[SuperFerret]

Tunics are upper body wear that hangs below the belt. Skirts and kilts are strictly lower body coverings.

 

[Anubis]

So essentially a Tunic is a Sundress.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I prefer baldrics.

 

[SuperFerret]

So essentially a Tunic is a Sundress.

More like a dashiki.

 

[Anubis]

Which is more like a Pancho.

 

[SuperFerret]

Which is basically a shirt.

The point is: Darkseid don't wear pants.

 

[RockSP]

He does now...thankfully.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Solomon Grundy want pants too!

 

[kguillou]

I wasb't expecting them to pull out such a huge villain for the first arc but hey, i love me some Darkseid. I wonder what his connection to Superman is in this new timeline?

 

[RockSP]

"Kal...Jonathan Kent never told you what happened to your father, did he?"

 

[Hush]

I personally hope he does not have a connection to Superman. He should just be a world conqueror.

 

[kguillou]

"Kal...Jonathan Kent never told you what happened to your father, did he?"

That would blow my mind. And I think the connection to Superman always made that rivalry interesting. Darkseid, was the one villain who really, really pushed Supes' buttons. Moreso than Luthor.

 

[Anubis]

In the cartoon maybe.

Darksied in the comics has become a f**king joke. He's a slightly more powerful Mongol at this point when he should be dominating Supes and the only reason Supes should even stand a chance is due to outside factors and dumb luck.

Actually in the last New Gods stories before Flashpoint, Darkseid was brought back to his ridiculous power levels. In Death of the New Gods, Superman was knocked out twice from the impacts that the fight between Darkseid and Orion were creating. He even said that he now understands how regular people feel when he's fighting. In Countdown Superman pretty much ordered everyone to stay back in the fight where Orion killed Darkseid. And in Final Crisis, it took Batman firing a radon bullet, the Flashes using the Black Racer to bring the touch of death onto Darkseid, and Superman using the Miracle Machine to sing the Song of the Multiverse to finally bring him down.

 

[Anubis]

I read Death of the New Gods too, and I felt that was a boos**t, one off statement that loses it's impact because he fought Orion evenly in the first couple of issues.

My goodness, Final Crisis sounds wacky.

Well...Morrison.

That's what I thought, but you still can't say that when they finally killed off the New Gods that they were in a rather *****fied power level. In the end, they were back to being absurdly powerful, ****** stories aside

I blame STAS for DC deciding to make Darkseid weaker.

 

[Anubis]

All Final Crisis proved was that Darksied's hard to kill. Kicking his ass however is as easy as pie.

 

[Mystirious]

The point is: Darkseid don't wear pants.

Because even the heartless ruler of terrible Apokolips knows that pants are the devil

My goodness, Final Crisis sounds wacky.

Tawky Tawny fought an army of evil tiger men, Mary Marvel started dressing as a dominatrix and murdering people and Wonder Woman turned evil and became a dog riding Female Fury

Crazy times

Well it was a spin off from Countdown 'Nubsy

Everything about Countdown was boo' ****

 

[Anubis]

This is true.

 

[Mystirious]

It was awful on a waffle

At least its not in continuity anymore and hopefully that terrible Death of the New Gods has been retconned too

 

[spiderbob]

All Final Crisis proved was that Darksied's hard to kill. Kicking his ass however is as easy as pie.

But wasn't it stated that Darkseid had just come out of some epic war between "Good and Evil", (off panel mind you) and even though Evil won, he was stuck in a human, decaying body?
So they beat him when he was already down, and it was still a pain to do.

 

[Anubis]

They killed him when he was already down. If they weren't trying to take him out, and he didn't have a few years to set up plot devices, Supes coulda done it by his damn self.
