Hi, I posted something in this forum a couple of days ago when I first signed up but I'm still kinda new. Well, my name is Bella I'm in my late teens and I live in CA, but I was just wondering about this site. Does having a user name just let you post things, 'cause I don't know anyone here and I'd like to meet people. I posted a picture in the Deadpool contest and commented in forums but why do people follow other people? Is that 'cause they know them or did they meet here? None of my friends are into comics (save one) and I wanted to know other people who do like them. If anyone has an answer please reply :)
I just watched Men Who Stare at Goats and it had some of the funniest lines ever! If you know of any, post it here :) Bob Wilton: Don't eat the eggs. Lyn Cassady: What? Bob Wilton: Don't eat the eggs. We put LSD in the eggs. Bill Django: And the water. I put LSD in the main water tank. Bob Wilton: What? But, we drank the water! Bill Django: Yeah!
Bob Wilton: It wasn't the Dim Mak that was killing Lyn. And it wasn't the cancer. He was dying of a broken heart. And maybe, the cancer as well.
Larry Hooper: [from trailer] Lieutenant Colonel Django used funds from the project's black budget to procure prostitutes... Bill Django: That's a lie! Larry Hooper: ...and to get drugs for himself and his men. Bill Django: That... well, the hooker thing is definitely a lie.
In order for the villain to capture the superhero's civilian girlfriend/boyfriend and interrogate them to find out who the superhero is... wouldn't the villain have to know that all ready in order to find his girlfriend?? It's not like they are dating Spiderman in the costume, they are dating Peter Parker, some normal guy. And if they are dating Spiderman in the costume... well, they're kinda dumb and put themselves in that place.
I agree with a lot of the comments - though I didn't read them all. I think that some of these superheros are just a little too reviling. I remember one year I wanted to trick or treat as a superhero but decided not to because I didn't want people who didn't know who I was to think I was going as a slut (since this was one of the characters who wore a leotard, and only one of my friends liked/knew superheros). But, I also think that spandex in general has practicality. If you are being stealth or moving through tight spaces a baggy t-shirt might snag or be in the way. And I agree with cbeavers2. Comic books are generally directed toward the teenage male public. I haven't met very many teenage girls or women, like myself, in general who like to read comics.
Also, as a note, men are much more visual than women. I personally think, if men showed off or emphasized their "stuff" so to speak, I wouldn't be as interested (since I read comics for the stories) and wouldn't be caught reading them in public!! You would probably sell more comics to gay men that way, simply because most women are not as visual.
