The Runaways Thread

[TheCorpulent1]

I have no illusions about Thor's status as a fictional character. I don't claim that he could kick any real people's asses except in a purely jocular context, anyway.

 

[Snikt 6]

How old is Molly anyways? I know she is younger than all the other characters.....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

She's like 8 or 11 or some ****.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

"Camelot smells like poo"

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Molly smells like poo.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Holla

 

[Mogwai]

what was with chase talking about buying weed?

 

[Eros]

She's like 8 or 11 or some ****.

shes like 13 dude.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

So she's not only a useless loser, she's an immature useless loser.

what was with chase talking about buying weed?

Apparently Chase likes to buy and probably smoke weed on occasion.

 

[CBG]

Well, what kind of maturity would you expect from a girl her age on average?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

More than Molly shows.

 

[SpideyInATree]

Molly would own nothing since she doesn't exist. Your tiny idol is nothing but lines on paper. Eat that, chew it up, and choke on it.

And I'm merely allowing COMICBOY to use his little imagination and IMAGINE a real life 11 year old Molly punching him and sending him to the next state, most likely. It is rather humorous when you map it all out in your mind. I figured that a keen imaginative comic reader like yourself would have the capacity and know how to USE that imagination to do what I just gave an example of.

Sigh.

I tell ya what. No imagination left in the world. No wonder all everyone does around here is complain about comics sucking, heh.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Imagination is for losers like Molly.

 

[Kitsune]

I thought the Losers was a Vertigo book

yeah, they need to keep (illegal) drug use out of comics...seriously.

 

[Anubis]

Fascist!

 

[Mogwai]

^^it just doesn't seem right.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It is, but losers with a lower case "L" are universal. Molly is proof of that.

 

[ihateusernames]

yeah, they need to keep (illegal) drug use out of comics...seriously.

Meh, they glorify it in every other form of media.
... That is, until they learn their lesson.

 

[fifthfiend]

I find this funny in that I always figured maybe half of the comics-reading audience has at one time or another been a pothead.

 

[AndThePickles]

yeah, they need to keep (illegal) drug use out of comics...seriously.

I don't think so, it seemed pretty realistic to me knowing Chase's personality so far.


Random- I'm ready for Whedon to be off this book.

 

[CBG]

I want Vaugnh back. . .

 

[spideyboy_1111]

no offense, but litterally more then half of the teens in LA smoke pot... so many people i run into having lived in LA smoke pot... and teenage runaways, esp a male like chase... would be smoking pot, if he were here right now in LA... i have no doubt about that. so that didnt bother me at all

The line about Chase's smoking habit is really no big deal. The things kids hear in rap lyrics or see on WWE is far worse. Besides, Chase definately seems like the type who at least "tried" a joint a few times, and inhaled.

I'm still positive on Whedon. He's unfortunately chosen to plunk Chase in a limited status quo of the past vs. evolve him further, but he gets the tone of the rest right and is writing a decent adventure for the rest of the kids. The biggest issue is by the time he catches his stride, the run is over. He's already at the midway point.

But among a short list of "A-List" writers, he's the one who I'd trust the most with the property. Slott is too busy, I have never seen Brubaker write a teenager for more than an issue, much less a team of 'em, and no one else comes close. Plenty of B-List writer talent, though. But could their namepower carry the book?

McKeever could probably be solid to follow, though, if he was available. And, good lord, would it be awesome if Vaughan returned. I'm not holding my breath, though. He has his Vertigo works for comic stuff and is making TV money now. Cebulski, who is writing THE LONERS and editted the first volume, could pull it off. So could Jeff Parker.

Too bad McKeever is DC exclusive, for many reasons.
