What the hell? I totally sent in a podcast question once about whether or not anyone has gone after Spider-Man's "secret web formula" in order to weaponize it. Get out of my head Rucka! Awesome video Tony. Keep at it.
I haven't been reading Superman so I'm not sure if this version was also raised on a farm. I was thinking he could just become an animal handler or ranger for like a park or natural reserve. He can use this profession to explore the natural order of things on Earth. Most beasts would probably instinctively know not to mess with him so his true identity would be pretty simple to conceal from such an employer while being humorous to read. He could use some more wilderness skills since he got caught so flat-footed by a cheetah. For all I know they've written something like this in the past but that's the answer I'm sticking with.
Still loving this show. The premise of this episode was a great call back to the old series. Nothing like a "Donatello inventing stuff" plot to get the nostalgic juices flowing. I think I've been playing way too much XCOM: Enemy Unknown because I noticed a lot of similarities in the action of this episode. You've got hostile alien forces, laser guns, turtles taking cover, a remote controlled SHIV, and even mind control on an ally. The next game should try integrating melee ninja moves at close range. We will be watching Commander...
Still enjoying this lengthy video feature. I agree with you on the point of comic book cartoons not needing to be violent. If anything it's even more faithful to classic comics that they keep their animated series as kid friendly as possible even today. The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes was the most recent shining example that you can still have pretty good action and storytelling without getting too extreme. I'm willing to give Beware the Batman a shot as long as the production goes smoothly.
Every super power is kind of played out now but their are still continuities outside of Marvel and DC that still surprise me to this day. The somewhat "Image United" universe I've seen in Invincible shows a mish-mash of super powers I have very clearly seen before in older comics. Most of these characters possess enough unique charm for me to overlook these comparisons and I end up liking the story even more. This is especially true for the One Piece series which arguably has more in common with DC and Marvel than just about any other manga. Perhaps the big difference worth mentioning is that the primary characters are all criminals and outlaws as opposed to gods, heroes, and vigilantes. Other than that it just feels like another comic book version of earth with it's own unique take on super powers, mythology, and martial arts. Keep doing these informative videos.
I only recently caught up with this show and it's pretty awesome. I might have checked it out sooner if I had known that Kevin Michael Richardson would be doing Shredder's voice. Quite possibly the only man who has a chance at surpassing James Avery's performance in the old cartoon. Really all the voice work in the show is top notch and the cast should be proud to turn in such great work. At least it sounds like they're having fun. Interesting interview.
Whenever I think of Talon I hear the theme song to the Hair Bear Bunch where the chorus is changed to, "Help! Help! Here comes the court." I think it's because of a past podcast or something. Might want to check out Punisher: War Zone but other than that it's going to be a slow comic week for me. Keep me informed.
I'm cautiously opptimistic about Deadpool. The preview you guys posted was kind of bleh so I just don't know what to expect. I still don't get why Miss Thing's suit has segmented toes. I mean if it's just a suit why not just have boots for feet? I doubt her feet are form fitted to that thing. I might want to read Avengers Arena if not just to see Darkhawk get his butt kicked, which seems like just another day for that crazy guy.
Great job you guys considering all the work you had to do l for the past 2 weeks. You certainly look a little warn out but I can't help but think that there could be a more comfortable place for you to film this news. Would the Giant Bomb guys not allow you access to the couch set? I'm sure it must be awkward sometimes with so many dudes all around you working like crazy. Do more videos!
I continue to enjoy this feature Tony. I'd hate to see where Iron Man gets faxes from on that armor. The only thing I read last week was Batman which I'm sure could get a best "something" every month because of how good it is. I also read Wonder Woman which is still pretty great. Got banned from giant bomb for some off color comments but at least now I can focus more feedback towards comicvine for the next couple days. Thanks and keep up the great work.
