Ah, yes, New52. I know nothing of it as well because I’ve listened to a majority of comic fans across the web claim it sucks profusely, and have decided to ignore it. X3
If you’d told me 10 years ago that I’d spend a lot of time on a site dedicated to My Little Pony, I’d have laughed your face off. Things can change pretty quickly and all that, eh?
Plus, considering Wonder Woman seemed to be, like, the only thing universally praised from Batman V Superman, DC would’ve been crazy not to give her her own solo title. I just hope they don’t screw it up.
Alternatively, a humanoid shape that splits into a horde. For example, when his conversion machine is damaged, he shapeshifts into a horde of robots to dismantle Earth bit by bit.
Either way, since MVC, EMH, and LEGO Marvel all used his classic design, it’s gonna be really tough to sell him to the kids we all know watch MCU if he’s a dust cloud. Never mind kids, who the hell in our demo will recognize a dust cloud as G-Man? <_<;
I have to disagree. I liked the original version of Galactus because it was suggested that he only looks human because we’re looking at him through human eyes. I mean, the dude eats planets. He can take whatever form he wants.

I feel that way about Ultimate Spiderman too. For a cartoon that is made by Man of Action, the guys who made the first Ben 10 and Generator Rex, it is kinda disappointing. Yes, the animation is great and the writing can be clever at times but the storytelling is pretty standard. The biggest crime is how Peter tends to forget that he is friends with his teammates at the start of episodes only to learn a lesson about friendship and teamwork by the episode’s end.
The greatest thing about Specatular, besides the opening theme, is that each episode was building up an overarching story and Peter’s relationships with other characters actually carry on throughout the series. It really made the characters more three dimensional and a sense that they are growing as people. Ultimate doesn’t have that effect. None of the episodes effect them in any way and they will always go back to stasis quo by the next episode. It really cheapens the lessons they learned from those episodes so what is even the point?
…Also, I didn’t like Rocket Raccoon in the series. The one for EMH was much better. And cuter. Ultimate Rocky is not. His voice is also too high for my taste.

I was going to argue against that last thing you said until I reread it and saw you said United They Stand not Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Whew. Almost made myself look dumb there.
And I sincerely doubt anyone has anything good to say about United They Stand.
See, I have to say I don’t mind change so much. I was unhappy about Spectacular’s cancellation in favour of Ultimate, for example, but then I saw the positives. A) Gwen’s alive! Oh, thank Primus! I was so sure they’d kill her off at some point! Sure, she and Pete can’t exactly be together, but she’s alive, so there’s hope. B) Hey, Paul Dini’s involved! Awesome!
But I have to say I was disappointed by Ultimate. I mean, I watched the entire first season and some episodes struck me as great fun (for example, the one where Spidey’s forced to sing in MJ’s musical), but overall I just couldn’t get into it. Spidey’s teammates (and Nick Fury at times) seemed like major jerks with few redeeming qualities, and the whole fourh-wall breaking thing didn’t strike me as Spidey-like at all.

I’m glad someone sees what I mean.
I’m sick of the whiny fanboys always yelling out how a show sucks when it’s not bad but no, it has to be the same as the last one, can’t have any change even thought change is what keeps them going and trying to undo some changes have been the reason behind some of the dumbest thing in Marvel history, like One More Day was to get Peter single again because Joe Quesada thought he was more relatable that way, and look how it wasn’t just the whiny fanboys but ALL the fans that raged over that.
Ah I saw your previous post and, too, was going to say, “Now wait a minute…”
But yeah it sucks being a fan of the current Marvel stuff when you’re constantly hearing constant fanboy whining “Wahh Ultimate ain’t no Spectacular”, “Why is this show FUNNY?!? I want SRSbiznss show like Young Justice”, “Damn you, Loeb.”
I think the only one I find it really hard to like is Avengers Assemble. I like the less stylized characters, the new VAs, and introducing certain Marvel characters like Dracula and Hyperion, but the writing is just so.. “blah” in comparison to EMH. Feels more manufactured by people who don’t give a crap about the source material.
Really? I was under the impression that compared to the Greek gods, who picked on humans a lot, the Norse ones generally benign to humans and murderous towards the ice giants and other traditional enemies.
Guys, guys! What if the general public’s perception of Aquaman is based on the one from the Brave and the Bold? Would that not be (dare I say it? Yes, I dare!) OUTRAGEOUS?
Incidentally, I never got round to watching the Green Lantern movie, but from what I understand, didn’t they turn Hal Jordan into just another arrogant jerk with some sort of Freudian excuse?
I was always under the impression that Jordan was an upright do-gooder type almost on the level of Superman, and it was the fact he couldn’t help his own home city when it was destroyed that drove him insane. I might’ve watched a movie where he got the ring and is inspired to do good, only to get increasingly frustrated at the fact he can only do so much. Instead, we got Parallax, much too soon.

Maybe, it’s just that the movie was a mockery to the Mandarin who was suppose to be Ironman’s greatest nemesis wielding the 10 rings of power.
