@Grandmaster_Fro: Blind as a bat... and none of the money! A guy dressed like a "red devil" falling out of the sky and beating the crap out of me...almost beats "The Bat". I think it's even. (Except for the blind thing.) Batman could probably and eventually beat down D.D. But, they would both need a "sack lunch", followed by a nap, and then three "red bulls" to continue for three more hours. (Batman would win, only because Alfred is known for his advanced "food on the run" abilities!) Poor Daredevil always gets a "Deviled Ham" sandwich. If you add chopped boiled eggs and kosher dilled pickles... add an hour to the fight. "And A Blind Man Shall Lead Them"... what was that? Avengers or F.F.?
I was 11 years old when I officially started collecting comics in 1966. I bought mostly Marvel... but, loved several DC titles as well. I have sold all my comics and not bought a single one in years. Only because I have not seen anything in YEARS worth the price. It's not about the money... it's about the quality of story and artwork. You can relaunch and retell anything you want... and I still will not be there. I am done. (They did it to themselves... then did it to us!)
If Kang or Ultron show up any time in the next 50 years... I will just watch from the shadows. These lame-ass "bad-guys" keep showing up... wasting tons of issues I will not buy... because nobody is able to create a new villain better than Stan Lee and Roy Thomas 30 or 40 years ago!?! I am one more Graviton story away from not even watching anymore! (And, the whole "Michael" thing had great art... sucked.) Go ahead and add Daredevil... nobody seems to remember that he and the Black Widow shared a title anyway. (Red Guardian, Hawkeye, Daredevil, and God only knows who else.) "The Avengers" was the first comic that I ever collected... starting with #4... now, they just look like a junk-pile of idiots.
Champion of Earth= Superman Captain AMERICA And, Spidey takes Manhattan (However, Superman has been an outstanding member of a certain Justice League for some time now. This may give a hint to his national loyalty.)
1+2=3 The third movie is always the hardest. X-Men 3= too crowded. Spider-man 3= too crowded. Superman 3= too stupid... Original Batman 3= great actors... too crowded. In most cases the second movie was the best, then the third killed the series. Original Batman and Superman went one movie too far each!
Why the Marvel "wizards" chose to make Hank McCoy look like a blue version of Ron Perlman's "Beast" (About ten years after the series ended!) I'll never know. "The Beast" on the cover of X-men #1 was why I bought that comic all those years ago. He was a genius that looked like a caveman! Then, to my HORROR, they altered him and tried the old Jekyll & Hyde routine. His fur was blackish grey and the series was uninspired and kinda left him in limbo for a while. He finally shows up blue in bathing suit bottoms and fangs. Add some Ben Franklin glasses and he can hang out in labs with Reed Richards and Henry Pym. I don't think Marvel has EVER known what to do with this constantly mutating mutant. The version in this movie could not possibly mess up his messed up past any more than the Marvel madmen who should be turned in for "child abuse"! (Starting with the first mutation.) And why doesn't he play cards with WonderMan, The Thing, and Nick Fury anymore?
Futuristic Science+ Mutant Magic= "Childbirth"... (I was paying attention in Marvel Math Class 101 !!!) I hope they don't just disappear into thin air like those twins they used to have!
I remember Hercules got Galactus drunk and made him laugh. That may be the only time something good came from drinking in excess. But, it's only funny in comic books... where nobody can really be hurt. In real life... it's very different.
