Things that you can't understand the popularity of.

To be fair the last magical book we got was Doctor Voodoo and it came at a time when Strange's fans were screaming for him to get an ongoing, what'd we get though? Bendis throwing him to the side like a rag doll and giving it to a random Z list hero that he's fallen in love with.

Yeah, but look at what happened with Captain Britain & MI:13. Awesome comic. Positive reviews across the board. Lots of promotion from Marvel. Reads take one glance at it, "Merlin?! Demons?! Magic?! DROPPED!"

Marvel fans' hatred of supernatural stuff. I swear, if you want a comic cancelled, shift the focus to fantasy.

Weirdly enough, that's kind of true.

Oh yeah, Lady Gaga. She's fun, but enough already.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I can't understand Cal's obsession of throwing his nipples in our face.

Beeyotch.

I'll agree with that one, it had awesome writing and plots, even though I really couldn't care about but few of the characters in that cast, so it had to fight for my attention. Perhaps it was the same with others, who knows?

Britain and MI:13 was good, but I don't see why some think it's great. I actually followed it, and I didn't really get too pissed when it was canceled like I was with The Crew.

Katiegirl = Having bad taste on the Hype since December 2008.

Professional sports.

I loved MI:13 because, unlike the rest of Marvel's titles at the time, it read like a traditional superhero comic. There was no ambiguous "the good guys are evil" crap going on, and no in-fighting among the superhero community. All British superheroes were members of MI:13 by default, and all of the bad guys were actual bad guys instead of another superhero team.

The Puffy Shirt episode of Seinfeld. It wasn't a very good episode, really.

Well, there's books like that still on the market, Hickman's Fantastic Four (though I utterly hate his man love for Reed Richards.), Power Girl is also fantastic if you aren't afraid to be seen reading a female character's ongoing like most men seem to be.

Twilight and Twitter

The TV show Lost. Thank the Lord that it's finally going to get lost this year. Literally.

That's why I liked it too. I wish it could have kept going, but it just never clicked with enough fans. One of the reasons why it might have failed was the fact that some people didn't want to support it because they didn't think it would last. I remember a guy telling me that he didn't want to get invested in it because he didn't think it would last 15 issues. I understand this concept, but at some point you gotta take a chance on things.

That's one reason why some of these characters don't last. People/fans of them don't give their series a chance to survive. I've already seen some people (Dread being a main one) saying that some of the new ongoings announced won't last.

That's also how we get 50 different books featuring the same damn characters.

I can't understand the obsession with the popularity of the obsession over my popular nipples.

*cough* Luke Cage on New Avengers/Thunderbolts, Spider-Man on Avengers and New Avengers. Wolverine on 80 different teams. *cough*

Drugs.

Altering reality. If your life sucks, drugs are a quick way to change that.

Chips Ahoy!

.......wait.....that's not right.

Honestly... I think drugs are a cowards way out of life. Instead of facing the problem, they look for the easiest way out.

Heard that! I'm a fan and I can't wait for this ish to end.

 

[Speedball]

Gears of War.
It's like Avatar, except in game form. It takes other peoples ideas (story, design elements, controls), adds a little bit of innovation (ok, it took those controls, which are the same as Resident Evil 4, and brought them to a new level), and voila! You have a huge megahit that everyone thinks is awesome, then they come to realize how mediocre it really is.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The Resident Evil movie series. (Why people? Milla might be badass in some of her other movies, but she's a complete Mary Sue in those movies)

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Smallville!
