The Runaways Thread

[LouFerignoDemon]

Eh, Gert wasn't that great of a character. =/

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think I just said that.

 

[PhotoJones]

I don't think she really needs resurrecting. Much as I enjoyed her snarkiness, she really was one of the most stereotypical of the Runaways.

I don't think so. Under Whedon, though, they're all stereotypical.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I thought Gert was supposed to be the greatest hero. Or at least, a very competent one.

ya, leader of the avengers....

but molly kicks all kinds of ass, she will be great indeed

 

[PhotoJones]

I like Molly. I like it when she's forced to drop her act, and has to rise to a challange.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

nothin was ever better then molly kicking wolvies ass

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The very, very few moments where she shows any depth, she's fine. The vast majority of the time, where she's sitting there being a jackass, we hates her.

You don't really care for any of the Runaways, save for Vic, do you?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No, I care for several of them. Molly and Nico are the only ones I really despise.

 

[fifthfiend]

Molly looks like a Disney character. And she's still alive, so that sucks twice as much.

We all know she's secretly your favorite.

What's wrong with Nico? Didn't you buy that one shot specifically for her?

 

[fifthfiend]

He was probably hoping "one shot" meant someone would shoot her.

shes like 10... what 10 year old has depth?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The deep 10-year-olds.

What's wrong with Nico? Didn't you buy that one shot specifically for her?

Mystic Arcana? Yeah, it was about as bad as the other Mystic Arcana one-shots.

I just don't think she's a very good leader. She's done nothing but kind of suck at everything throughout the current series. In volume 1 she was all right, but she's a bad leader, she makes bad choices in her love life and hurts characters I do care about because of it, and she wasn't even that good with her spells until just these last two or three arcs.

 

[PhotoJones]

I wasn't talking about the quality of the Mystic Arcana book, I was talking about you talking about picking it up because it focused on her. If you don't care for her character, why would you pick it up?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Because I care about Marvel's magic side, which Mystica Arcana was supposed to rejuvenate.

 

[PhotoJones]

But, didn't you clue in to the fact that it sucked after the first few issues?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I fell into the fanboy trap of hoping it'd get better and wanting to see it through. I was weak.

 

[PhotoJones]

Did it make you stronger?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It made me less willing to keep buying series that are ****ty right from the start and that I feel are going to be ****ty straight through.

 

[PhotoJones]

Then it was worth it.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I just dislike Gert and Molly. The rest are fine, unless Whedon's in charge. Then they're mediocre.

 

[PhotoJones]

I like them all pretty well, with probably Karolina being my least favorite.

 

[Zoken]

is it odd that I'm getting a "Pull My Thing" Vibe from Wheadon's Runaways?

 

[PhotoJones]

Like it's going to be canceled, or something?
