Purpose is a human term, Humans are the only species that intentionally gives meaning to things and like most human things is subjective, for example, plants grow because it rains but it doesn't rain to make plants grow. Also, a lot of people get confused and think that cuasality=teleology but that couldn't be further from the truth. Everything i just said it's horribly simlpified but i hope it gets the point across.

@d9000: I can't speak for Ong Bak because it has been on my to watch list for some time, but the Raid 2 is even better than the first one. The movie has a character named hammer girl and her brother is baseball bat man, they do exactly what you expect them to do with those names.

Hey CV crew, recently i've been trying to get mi fix on a certain subgenre of science fiction, Cyberpunk. I know that it's not the most popular subgenre of science fiction but other than Transmetropolitan i can't think of many other notable examples of Cyberpunk-like comic books, So i have a few questions for you.

Can you think bout any other good cyberpunk comic books that you recomend reading?

What's your favorite story in the genre? Neuromancer is still one i go back to every once in a while.

definitely

@squares: Damn, I was just gonna post that.

@frozen: Well, unless we work at marvel we can never really be sure of the reason behind this direction. Maybe the writer pitched the idea to marvel and they thought it was great. Maybe it was marvel saying "we need more strong females characters" and the Thor titles could use some. Maybe the thought -and this is a really cynical way of looking at things- "Hey Thor is a really popular character right now, but you now what makes popular characters even more popular? when you take them out of the spotlight for a while and then make a big deal about their return *cough*superior spiderman*cough*. Maybe the most reasonable answer is that it's not just one reason but a combination the things I mentioned.

Truer words have never been spoken, or written? whatever the case is.

@dredeuced: Or thunderstrike,

Remeber thunderstrike...? Anyone...?

@manchine: Is that a character you created? Please sir tell me more, i'm intrigued. the first thing a thought when i saw your avatar was "why is cyclops green?"

If ANYONE actually believes that changes like these are permanent and gets mad about it, they haven't been reading comics for very long. People need to look a these things more positively. In the worst case scenario if the new Thor is horrible it's going to last around 6 months before the original Thor comes be back and everyone is going to forget about it by this time next year, on the other hand if the series/character is great you are going to get the old Thor back and maybe a permament addition to the Thor mythology like it happens with great characters.
