The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 2

I really liked the Watchmen one for some reason. I almost felt it had a better flow than the comic itself did.

Everything else has just seemed pointless to me. I mean, you might as well just read the comic instead.
 
I hate motion comics with a passion. If you're going to move comics to the TV/movie medium, spend the money to fully animate them and do it right instead of being cheap bastards about it.
 
I don't think that's actually feasible, though. The art in comics is much more detailed than the art they use in cartoons. If they were to fully animate them, then the quality of the art would be compromised.
 
The quality of the art would be good or bad by different standards depending on how much dough they put down. Young Justice would have very simple art by comic standards, but it's excellent by animation standards. Conversely, adapting a Young Justice comic onto a TV screen where like two parts of each panel move in very ugly, simplistic fashion looks a whole hell of a lot worse than merely simplifying the art style to embrace the animation medium. That's why motion comics suck. The 'motion' in them is terrible by any animation standard.

Now, if they want to do that kind of thing in Comixology's reader or some other online comic reader, fine. That's a comic presented in a comic format as a comic. The meager motion and voiced narration would just be some new bells and whistles thrown into the mix. But motion comics on Netflix and Hulu are presented as if they're just another animated presentation, which is misleading because they're unbelievably awful by the standards of animated presentations.
 
Haha they are awful. I watched the Thor and Loki: Blood Brothers one the other day and I think I'm scarred for life. I've never seen something so creepy.

I decided to watch the Silver Surfer cartoon after it to make me feel better.
 
I really wanted to like Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers. I really did. :csad:
 
Well, yeah, they're definitely not animated movies, and definitely shouldn't be marketed as such.
 
When and how did Colossus get the power of the Juggernaut?
 
When and how did Colossus get the power of the Juggernaut?
During Fear Itself the transformed Juggernaut was sent to wreak havoc on San Francisco to force the humans and mutants there into turning on each other to save themselves. After all of Cyclops plans kept failing Illyana Rasputin had an idea to go into the realm Cytorrak to let him know his avatar had now begun following a new god and asked for the power to punish him for his betrayal. But she was accompanied by Peter and Kitty, and at the last minute Peter said he couldn't bare watching his sister lose her soul to another demon again so he took the power instead.

I like the new dynamic on the character when he's not just used as a walking battering ram and we get to see the inner turmoil he's going through, like in the newest issue of Uncanny X-Men.
 
I'd much rather see Cain again, personally. Colossus as the Juggernaut is just weird and random.
 
Illyana as Juggernaut would have just been....weird
 
What would make you think the Avengers weren't yet formed? The fact that Cap was there pretty much proves that they were. IM just wasn't in the comic.

Also, IM's origin was retconned to have taken place at some point in Afghanistan.....doesn't mean it happened during the war. That particular area of the world has been a hot bed for war and terror for decades.

Just a thought, since SI is based in new york too right?? So why wouldn't IM be there? Avengers like Thor, Cap and the Maximoff twins were.
 
Do you guys the the Maximoff twins banged before or after the rescue efforts? :o
 
Are there any threads on the Hype to discuss the Iron Man and Wolverine anime series?

I would search but the search function bothers me.

I don't know, he was busy. Maybe he was in a meeting with the U.S. government helping track down who did it. Maybe he was still sleeping off the weeks activities and had no idea what went down. Maybe he was there and they just didn't show him. Maybe the writer/artist simply forgot to include him. It happens. One time some oblivious writer had Jigsaw break Spider-Man's arm because he confused him with Bulldozer from the Wrecking crew. It happens.

The real question is, how did it happen when all those heroes were there in the first place? Yeah, I know why, but it's just one of those questions that kinda has to come up when you try to add realism into a super hero comic book universe.

Ever read Ex Machina? About a former super hero who became Mayor of the NYC because he was able to save Tower 2?

What are these "Season One" graphic novels I've seen at Barnes and Noble? Is this Marvel's answer to DC's "Earth One."
 
In short yes Squirrel.

Is The Hulks origin the same as it was when he was originally created?
 
They're modernized tellings of their origins sold as hardcover graphic novels. These are more considered "in contuinity" where DC's Earth One books are considered another Earth (if they still exist...). I only read the X-Men one and I enjoyed alot. They didn't try to change or retread previous stories, but more like skate around and shed new light on stories (like Jean's feelings about first fighting Magneto at Cape Canaveral, the love triangle between Jean, Warren, and Scott, Hank's sketchy attitude before defeating Unus the Untouchable, etc.) I'm eagerly waiting for a Season 2.
 
They're not considered in continuity.

Well, they're TV series, so I'd suggest looking in the TV forums.
 
Looking into the Avengers, which series do you think is a good idea to begin at?
I was looking at Avengers 24.1 earlier. Seemed like a good idea?
 
Is Hickman's S.H.I.E.L.D. still going on? Is it good?
