Comics The Official ROGUE Discussion Thread

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Again, Carey is getting really strong reviews from the critics and Marvel editorial on his stint in X-Men, so that probably won't change.

Well, considering how UXM and Adjectiveless sucked between 2k4-2k6, does that come as a surprise? And I never said he doesn't deserve some praise though I *do* refer to it as overrated. The premise of the book his downright idiotic, but the execution's actually fine.

Nor will he ever admit that he is a hack-fanboy, I am sure.

Well, DUH. t:

Still, the keyword here would be HE.

So it does sound like the two of you maybe complain just to hear yourselves complain?

No, we're just *BAFFLED* as to why people can't call something for what it is just because the author likes the characters so damn much. The hell? That big of a double standard just because Austen/Milligan sucked? This has gotta be a joke, right?

You don't hear me saying that "Gods no, Ensong most certainly wasn't a shameless promo for Scott/Emma with a bit of 'Jean getting screwed' on the side. t:

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

IGN has always been a crap site. Especially as far as comics go. They put Sabertooth and Strong-Guy on their list of top 25 X-men. That tells you all you need to know about them.

Not sure I agree they suck *that bad*, but yeah, putting those two in the top 25 was kinda funny in a WTF capacity. And that's coming from a guy who kinda likes Sabes, what with the whole obnoxious crazed murdered thingy he's got going.

And that B.S. with the tombs pic in the Endangered Species one-shot sure as hell didn't get them bonus points.

 

[Rogue's Hand]

Moreso that the Rogue-fans.



Not really. It just makes me shake my head at Marvel and the ungodly amount of bias and misrepresentation that goes into these stories.

More enlightening than infuriating.



No, but I did get a kick out of you saying Carey's a hack-fanboy but won't admit it.





IGN has always been a crap site. Especially as far as comics go. They put Sabertooth and Strong-Guy on their list of top 25 X-men. That tells you all you need to know about them.

Ofcourse you would think that about them t:
They bad mouthed your favorite character
and they praised mine, which you happent to hate

 

[Canemacar]

And that B.S. with the tombs pic in the Endangered Species one-shot sure as hell didn't get them bonus points.

Thats right; they started going on and on about how Marvel was going to kill off Storm, Beast, Cyclops, etc when it was just a promo image for hyping the event. Hell, you tell just by looking at Wolverine that it wasn't a 616 image.

Ofcourse you would think that about them
They bad mouthed your favorite character
and they praised mine, which you happent to hate

The fact that they completely suck is a larger factor, I'm afraid.

 

[bns]

Moreso that the Rogue-fans.

I surely wouldn't say that.

Not really. It just makes me shake my head at Marvel and the ungodly amount of bias and misrepresentation that goes into these stories.

Well they are in the habit of making money and fan-favorites do drive sales. Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Nightcrawler and Rogue are always reliable.

No, but I did get a kick out of you saying Carey's a hack-fanboy but won't admit it.

Of course you did! I am very funny!

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

The fact that they completely suck is a larger factor, I'm afraid.

Eh. Hell, quite a few people at IGN *love* Cyke and I gotta say, I'm with Can about 75% on this one.

And no, the 25% left isn't Cyke related.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Well they are in the habit of making money and fan-favorites do drive sales. Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Nightcrawler and Rogue are always reliable.

He spoke of bias and misrepresentation...

Why should/would that have anything to do with fan favorites...???

 

[Canemacar]

I surely wouldn't say that.

Well, considering their responses to legitimate criticisms is simply "You're sexist!", "Quit hating!", or "So don't read it!" I think I'm justified in saying I'm *alot* more fair even factoring in my dislike of Rogue.

Well they are in the habit of making money and fan-favorites do drive sales. Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Nightcrawler and Rogue are always reliable.

And Gambit's sold better than Storm, Cyclops, Jean, Emma, Rogue, and Nightcrawler in the solos department. Who knows what the hell Marvel's thinking is.

Of course you did! I am very funny!

Inadvertently, though. So I wouldn't call up the Comedy Store just yet.

The largest factor is your wierd opinion that your word is law.
IGN editors recieve approval before posting articles, correct?
That means a couple of IGN editors agree that
they've "never really been a fan of the 'ragin' Cajun' ",
But ofcourse your word is etched in stone right LOL
Leave Rogue alone and hop off her ****.
It seems to have worked wonders for Gambit, even according to IGN

 

[Canemacar]

Eh. Hell, quite a few people at IGN *love* Cyke and I gotta say, I'm with Can about 75% on this one.

And no, the 25% left isn't Cyke related.

To be fair, I did agree with the top part of that list: Cyke being #1, Xavier #2, then people like Storm, Jean, and Kitty.

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

To be fair, I did agree with the top part of that list: Cyke being #1, Xavier #2, then people like Storm, Jean, and Kitty.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I *did* agree with most of the top 10 on that list.

I was just saying I wouldn't defend IGN *overall* because they like Cyke.

 

[Canemacar]

The largest factor is your wierd opinion that your word is law.

I've never said that.

I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to put down the shrooms when talking to me, hallucinating isn't very conductive to a good debate..

IGN editors recieve approval before posting articles, correct?That means a couple of IGN editors agree that Gambit
they've "never really been a fan of the 'ragin' Cajun' ",

Yes it does, why do you ask?

But ofcourse your word is etched in stone right LOL

Again, put down those shrooms, friend, they're not doing you any favors here.

Leave Rogue alone and hop off her ****.It seems to have worked wonders for Gambit, even according to IGN

Well according to IGN, Sabertooth is a shining beacon of what an X-man should be.

Excuse me if I don't take their opinions to heart.

Excuse me if I don't take their opinions to heart.

Shrooms? Sorry never tried them. I'd rather have some Alize',
but anyways you should know about hallucinating. You've been
doing that since Gambit has been M-I-A from the X-Men and playing
that back burner role. Now go back to your anti-Rogue spamming.
It seems to work wonders for your manic-depressive state.
I'll see you right back in this topic months from now.
Rogue is your life support ====>

 

[bns]

Inadvertently, though. So I wouldn't call up the Comedy Store just yet.

See now, you're not funny. Why you gotta take it so personal.

And yours and Darths point about unfair representation and a character bias sounds more like sour grapes than anything. It's kinda hard to take seriously. Since you can't convince Storm fans to hate Storm and Rogue fans to hate Rogue just cause you both feel that way (or Carey fans to hate Carey, for Darth) then you blame imaginary things, unfair bias stuff. It's hooey! A conspiracy theory when there is no real reason to conspire. Why would Marvel have it out for you or Gambit or whatever? That is just a nonsensical argument.

 

[bns]

I was just saying I wouldn't defend IGN *overall* because they like Cyke.

But let's be real, Cyke is the first and best Marty-Stu ever.

 

[Canemacar]

Ok, I'm going to pause here for a second and give you some genuine advice: Work on your comebacks. Seriously, they're lame as hell. A schoolchild could do better.

Now go back to your anti-Rogue spamming.

I'm not manic-depressive, I just like to post drunk from time to time. I may end up posting things I don't mean, but it's always fun to find what I've posed when I log on the next morning!t:

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

then you blame imaginary things, unfair bias stuff. It's hooey!

Our whole point is that it's right there for all to see.

It just hasn't been CALLED what it actually is.

 

[Canemacar]

See now, you're not funny. Why you gotta take it so personal.

Who's taking it personally? That was a jab; you were supposed to either turn it around on me or come up with something better.

And yours and Darths point about unfair representation and a character bias sounds more like sour grapes than anything. It's kinda hard to take seriously. Since you can't convince Storm fans to hate Storm and Rogue fans to hate Rogue just cause you both feel that way (or Carey fans to hate Carey, for Darth) then you blame imaginary things, unfair bias stuff. It's hooey! A conspiracy theory when there is no real reason to conspire. Why would Marvel have it out for you or Gambit or whatever? That is just a nonsensical argument.

1: The writer bias and all that is far from hooey. If you'll look at what has been going on after setting aside your own bias, you'll see that the technical aspects of his writing has left some things to be desired. Thats not bashing a creator; thats pointing out flaws; something all writers have.

2: Not sour grapes; I dislike a wide range of characters for the same reason. Jean, Kitty, Storm, and modern Wolverine for examples. I'm even starting to find Spidey tiresome since the comics with him seem to be little more than Marvel going "Ok. What can we do next to screw him over so that people will sympathize with Pete?". Rogue's not a special case by any means.

tell me how it's been living btwn Rogue's butt cheeks for the past

I have 188 posts in the Gambit thread, and a mere 104 in the Rogue one. Not quite the "living twixt Rogue's hind-hams" scenario you were detailing.
