I spent five minutes staring at that image, wondering why a word that looks so much like Eagles isn't.

I am a pretty accomplished photobomber. For a while photobombing was even called "Enter the Dovey" among my friends.

Here is my favourite

Excuse the makeup. It was for my highschool's production of Cabaret. Can you spot me?
I was a little unimpressed that the girl was interrupting me while I was applying the lead's tranny-lips.

I think that guy bombed his own photo just fine without your help.

Holy shit Wata deck makes me wish I was a skateboarder.

Ads

I remember all those, or similar, from my youth; are you suggesting the world's not like that now? My, how things have changed!

For some reason I can't find any of the Mrs 1970 BP adverts online, which surprises me.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #4013 on:** 21 May 2009, 09:49 »

Usually I wait till a few posts have passed, but my rage at this image will not allow me to hold back. Yesterday I read that the newest issue of The Hulk had the Red Hulk killing every single Defender, including Doctor Strange, The Sub-Mariner, the Hulk, and even the fucking Silver Surfer, even going so far as to steal his surf board and his powers, after killing his own teammates on a team called the Offenders of all things. I thought, "No, Loeb couldn't stoop this low and be this fucking crazy." This image tells me that my worst fears have come true:

I would say the sexism of current advertising is generally more subtle and more insidious. We probably wouldn't have an add suggesting women can't open ketchup anymore, but we have plenty of adds suggesting men are incapable of cleaning up after themselves, and so it's the privilege of our cheerfully martyred wives and mothers to clean up after us.

Your sig still needs a little work. The close quote is broken.

@Blue Kitty It's hilarious that Red Hulk considers those tattered denim shorts as having his clothes on. Otherwise as far as the massacre is concerned, I wouldn't be too worried. Not like anybody stays dead. Hell, I think even Uncle Ben might have been brought back a time or two.

...yes, I am still a little bitter about Bucky and Jason Todd.

Alex C · « **Reply #4018 on:** 21 May 2009, 15:57 »

I can't decide what's more ridiculous: Killing the Silver Surfer or killing Doctor Strange, a man who has traditionally served as one of Marvel's pre-eminent deus ex machinas over the years.

Oh, they're already back. At the end of the issue a character called The Collector brought them all back to life.

Fuck man, I've been hearing a rumor that Marvel calls this one of their, "best selling books in a long time."

It's CODE RED VS. X-FORCE. Who is Code Red? How about RED HULK. DEADPOOL. THE PUNISHER. ELEKTRA. THUNDRA. THE CRIMSON DYNAMO. What terrible secret could bring this group together -- only to run headlong into the deadliest team of X-Men? All this -- and wait until you see RED HULK VS. WOLVERINE! Superstar scribe Jeph Loeb is joined by art team Ian Churchill and Mark Farmer as the epic saga of the Red Hulk continues!

I love how they'll put up Wolverine against anyone whenever they need money, never mind if that foe involved theoretically should be able to just grab onto Logan and squeeze him so hard that he gets compressed into a super-dense ball of adamantium that collapses upon itself and creates a god damned singularity.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #4022 on:** 21 May 2009, 16:29 »

the hulk can crush people into singularities?

interesting.

Josefbugman · « **Reply #4023 on:** 21 May 2009, 16:30 »

This is why I only take the DCAU into account and then add in the other DC stories, with marvel you can't do that and you end up with either the movies (goodish apart from the last two x-men ones) or the early morning cartoons (which are not at all goodish).

It's an exagerration, although in the case of the Hulk it's not really 100% tongue-in-cheek; the dude once kept a planet from breaking apart by squeezing continental plates back together because comics are silly like that. I also think there was a comic in which Hulk basically handled an anti-matter bomb by being stronger than the attraction between matter and anti-matter, a feat that makes less than no sense whatsoever. But the bottom line is that comic books are like the WWE. When a big event rolls around consistency no longer matters as much as pushing the popular characters. When hero caliber characters go up against eachother it's really just a matter of recognizing who's the jobber. It's kinda like how there's tons of comic book fans that truly believe Spider-man could take Tony Stark despite the fact that Tony could feasibly attack him with hypersonic weapons while zooming around from just under orbit. And depending upon the writer, they very well could be right.
