State Your Opinion on a Character - Part 2

[Duke]

After Transformers G1 & a little bit of Beast Wars, I sort of lost track of them. However, if it's based on the Michael Bay movies, I'll flush them down the toilet.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I never even saw that movie. Actually, no, I saw the first like 10 minutes and turned it off. What was it Ebert said?
"If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination."

Harsh, probably completely fair though.

Miho

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Who?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Ever read Frank Miller's Sin City books? She turns up in loads of those.

Looks like this in that movie they made:

Spoiler

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Never went near Sin City in any format

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

she's cool as far as your regular katana, kung-fu, throwing stars, "may be the force be with you" metaphysical talking, ninja, kicking your ass fighter goes!

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeah, I like her too.

Miller's "tarts with hearts" characters can get really samey, and Miho being a mute, fully-dressed, sword swinging badass type makes her stand out from the crowd... in the comic AND the movie.

Rassumfrassumdoublepost...

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, that chick is badass.

Dan the Unharmable

 

[Wesley Dodds]

This sounds like it could be really, REALLY fun!

From Comic Vine:

Eisner Award winning writer David Lapham delivers a fresh punch to the face with his new ongoing series about crime, family, and being a lazy, yet invulnerable, private detective. Dan is something of a hired man. Whatever one needs doing, be it detective work, muscle work, blackmail work, or bedroom work - Dan's your man. Dan's not afraid of anything because Dan's totally unharmable. You can beat him with sticks, stick him in the oven, throw him off a bridge, or shoot him in his noggin its all the same to Dan. He's never met an insult that bothered him or a person he cared about-at least for more than a night. Dan prefers not to be shackled down by worldly goods. He works for just enough dough to keep him in cigs and beer for a night or two, maybe a room, and he's content. Dan's bohemian paradise is all about to change, however. You see, back before Dan was so unharmable he left a few loose ends. Now those loose ends are growing up and their mother's been murdered, which not only means that Dan has to solve his most personal case yet, he's now legally responsible for four human beings who are anything but unharmable.... Dan the Unharmable is a new ongoing series by noir legend, David Lapham featuring art by Rafael Ortiz. Available with a Regular, Wraparound, and special Retro Incentive cover by series artist Rafael Ortiz.

A Superman parody, starring long haired Tom Sellek

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeah, it sounds sorta like, "What if this guy:

Spoiler

was an amnesiac, serial-shagging Kryptonian?"

Which, you know, is a book I would read the absolute crap out of.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Is that Jeff Bridges from Great Lebowski?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

The one and only.

Anyway, todays:

Smurfette

 

[Spider-Aziz]

If you watched the movie Donnie Darko and remember the Smurfette discussion scene, that's all there needs to be said

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

She can bring home the bacon .. uh smurf berries!.. fry em up in a pan and never ever let you forget you are a Man!..uh Smurf! hehe
She's just Smurfy!

 

[Anubis]

[Duke]

Totally agree with Vulcan on this!!! Ironic that Gargamel created her to destroy the Smurfs, in the end though she just because just, Smurfy. LOL

 

[Spider-Aziz]

And he didn't think of creating more to use their essence or something
Maybe he should try cloning

Dynamo 5

 

[Wesley Dodds]

From Wiki:

Captain Dynamo was the much-beloved protector of Tower City for forty years following his exposure to an unidentified form of radiation that granted him superhuman abilities, and husband of Maddie Warner, a former agent of a government superhuman monitoring organization known as F.L.A.G., who used the cover of an award-winning investigative journalist, now retired. Dynamo is found dead, naked in a hotel bed, murdered by poison, though the details of his death are not released to the public. He was assassinated by Widowmaker, who was hired by unknown persons. Although Warner initially does not know this, she does suspect that the condition and setting in which his body was found was not natural, but arranged by whoever murdered him in order to further tarnish his image. In sorting through his personal effects, Warner discovers detailed information on countless incidents of infidelity on his part. Although devastated by the extent of her late husband’s indiscretions, Warner is faced with the problem of Dynamo’s numerous enemies, who will now take advantage of Tower City in his absence. Although other superheroes attempt to pitch in to keep the peace, Warner decides that Tower City needed a permanent protector.[1]
Scouring through the information she gleaned from her husband’s belongings, she locates five young people she believes could be his illegitimate children: Vancouver, British Columbia high school geek Hector Chang, Washington DC law student and activist Olivia “Livvie” Lewis, aimless ne'er do well and ladies’ man Spencer Bridges, Hollywood, California theater employee and NYU Film School graduate Bridget Flynn, and Eastbridge, Texas high school football star Gage Reinhart. Gathering them together, Warner exposes them to the same radiation that Dynamo had been exposed to forty years earlier, unlocking their own latent superhuman abilities, with each one manifesting one of the five powers that their father possessed. Donning costumes, the five of them carry on his legacy as the superhero team the Dynamo 5, while coming to terms with learning about the father they never knew, and the four new half-siblings they each now have. Although the five are unaware that Warner is a former agent of F.L.A.G., she is determined to mold them not only into a team, but into a family as well, and functions as their mentor and “unofficial sixth member”, calling the shots from the same headquarters once used by Captain Dynamo, and keeping in constant remote contact with them during their missions
