Marvel vs DC

I just think the industrialized comic industry is a waste of time.

The same characters being plugged into the same situations. Totally bores me. And as it's been said, new writers come in with their own ideas and totally reshape characters, and storylines, now it's just a big mishmash of different origin stories, alternate universes, and retcons in a vain attempt to keep them somewhat connected.

I don't blame the writers, though. If I worked for Marvel, I'd probably get stuck working on Hulk, or something I don't even care about. And the work would suffer. All the while I'd just be waiting for the opportunity to come up with the characters and stories I'd want to do.

I think comics need to be done on the independant level for a while. Fresh faces with new ideas that the creator came up with and cares about. The industry has no passion anymore.

if you want to get back into them, the thing i'd recommend reading is Planet Hulk and World War Hulk. written by Greg Pak. it's just fantastically written.

Planet Hulk... Hulk is too dangerous, and they can't kill him, so the Avenger types decide they have to trick him into being launched into space. he lands on a populated planet and lots of interesting stuff happens.

World War Hulk... Hulk makes it back to Earth and fugs poo the fug up.

i'm not a fan. i like super heroes. comics are a nostalgic thing to me. Garth Ennis was good on Punisher, but i think everything he does is the same. "i hate superhero stories, look how gritty and porny i can make this instead."

gritty and porny is fun, but i don't like his style.

Something really bothers me about that cover. Can't put my finger on it.

One thing is the face sucks. Looks like something I drew in the margins of my lined paper during class then crossed out. I'll give the penciller the benefit of the doubt though. It may have been fugged up in inking or painting.

But the body proportions are wierd too. He just seems flat. His upper body is too narrow (front-to-back, not side-to-side). I think his abdominals should be sticking out more. Again I can't really nail down what's bugging me, but I'm not a huge fan of that one.

he's thin, he has flat muscles. more of a swimmer build than a liefeld 'muscles on muscles' build. the face is fine, that's what the guy looks like.

i think what makes it look off is that there is no arch in the back like there should be in that pose.

That's it! There's no arch in the back! He looks like he just had a stubby torso.

I don't have a problem with the musculature. Huge muscles were a 90s trend, back when Ah-nahld was still relevant in Hollywood. I got no problem with that; I like the lean muscular look, now. By flat, I mean, he doesn't jump off the page. He looks 2D; flat. And the reason is the pose is weird.

yeah, he was obviously going for an emotional arching up toward the sky pose. but he didn't arch the back so it looks like a rigid torso put onto some legs at a weird angle.

he's usually very careful about anatomy, at least that's the impression i get from his blog.

      No, we don't need to see Bryce Young again

      By TN05 · Posted

      We've seen him in 18 games now. He has not magically learned to be better in 5 games on the bench. As a reminder, here's his stat line for the last nine full games he's started: 148/264 (56.1%), 1439 yards (160 yards per game), 2 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, 32 sacks This is over NINE games. We lost these games by an average score of 10-24. In his career, Bryce Young has 11 touchdown passes. 5 of those came from two games (Detroit and Green Bay). Two of those Detroit ones were in garbage time. The problem with Bryce Young is not that his confidence is shaken or that he just needs time to learn. The problem is he is physically not capable of playing professional football in this league. Everyone on the team knows it.

      We have to figure out our future core team

      By bythenbrs · Posted

      If we somehow magically learn to draft well [I know, don’t laugh], it will take at least 3 more drafts to produce a roster that can go 9-7 or 10-6 consistently.  Doing it in 2 would mean that we have miraculously ‘caught lightning in a bottle’, landing the future Luke, Cam, Smitty, Peppers in back to back drafts.  Those are some long odds.

      The Carolina Panthers should go back to Bryce Young

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      So, Bryce solves the problem of: Hubbard running for -2 to 1 yard on 2nd down and Miles Sanders getting lost on a 3rd & long screen play? Johnson dropping a short 1st down pass and refs allowing PI? Johnson giving up on his route against physical DBs and OL going down field on a pass play? Nijman giving up a sack in 2 seconds on 3rd and 4? Hubbard & M.Sanders failing on 2nd & short, 3rd & short, and 4th and short back to back to back? Hubbard with runs of -2 yards and 0 yards to set up 3rd & 12? Ekwonu on skates getting bull rushed into the QB on 3rd & 4 in 2 seconds? Those were how the 7 drives ended before Dalton led a TD drive anchored by a 30 yard pass with pressure in his face again. You think Bryce solves any of that? Then there's the issue of the RBs and TEs consistently struggling to win in the flats. That's 90% of Bryce's game. Will Bryce solve the defense giving up 30 points by half time? The Panthers offense only had 2 drives before Young came in the game late 4Q. Is no one else noticing the Panthers only get 1 complete drive in 3Q of games after trailing by 2 to 3 scores? The defense can't get off the field and Evero's high school blitzes can be seen pre-snap by anyone watching. Is Bryce going to fix that? QB is not the issue for this team. Dalton, Johnson, Thielen and Coker are the strength of the team followed by a hot (run) and cold (pass) OL. Adding an inconsistent QB in Bryce to inconsistent RBs, inconsistent TEs, and an inconsistent OL is going to do what? Does anyone trust Bryce to read the defense from the pocket after the snap? His receivers and Canales have made it known they don't. What Bryce had success on in HS and college doesn't work in this league. Brian Robinson Jr, Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams aren't here to bail Bryce out with the huge windows coupled with slower and smaller defenders in college. They're winning with Detroit and Washington making other 1st round QBs look good. Alabama players from the 2022 and 2023 teams are winning with their teams. The media wanted you to believe Bryce, the tiny unicorn Heisman QB, made that Alabama team better when he was the one being carried with his limited game. The media doesn't want to be wrong on Bryce.
