--- Quote from: GarandMarine on 31 Jul 2013, 17:38 ---Raven is the guy with the "Poor Impulse Control" punishment tattoo on his forehead and his own personal nuke. He's also one of my most despised characters of all time, but then I didn't like Snow Crash at all.

"No, silly, it's on my arm and it says 'Princess'. I'm not commenting on the nuke, though."

Goddamnit, now I envision Raven as a convincing crossdresser or a post-op.

Who aren't "guys". >:(

Edit: I also don't see what that particular kind of surgery has to do with it anyway.

Mr_Rose:
Where's the facepalm poster when you need it?

--- Quote from: DSL on 31 Jul 2013, 03:35 ---Responding only for myself, the woman speaker whose name I cannot remember (dammit) was referring to comic book superhero artists. And you cannot deny that fabric, in particular spandex and its relatives, does NOT behave in the real world the way it does in the comic book world. Nor do most skeletal or muscular structures. Indeed, I begin to think the most commonly required superpower, tvtropes be damned, is the resistance to spinal problems later in life and the ability to recover from some of those poses into which (especially) superheroine characters are drawn.

Counterpoint:


There is substantial reason to think that comic book artists just suck at anatomy generally.

honestly though, i kind of find it hard to hate liefeld. when i look at his art, all i see is a little kid who loves drawing and superheroes, but has never actually gone to the trouble of taking an art class, or picking up an anatomy book, or done the work to develop any kind of technical skills whatsoever.

it's just the fact that he got paid to do this that hurts my brain.


for additional fun, or fun-like bi-product, here's a list

Perfectly Reasonable:
I think the 'Chengzhou YF-29' is meant to suggest a knock-off off the original YF-29. And didn't the Macross storyline include a completely autonomous AI fighter plane that was -really- bad news?

OK, little missy --- Suppose you -do- have your YF-29. You'll need an airfield to fly from, hanger space, maintenance and spare parts. To say nothing of fuel. All that comes free with the job in the military of course, but then they are into things like 'discipline' and 'following orders'. If you want to fly in controlled airspace, you'll need to file a flight plan. Or else someone will scramble a couple of -real- fighters to come look you over. And don't even -think- of trying to spoof your transponder code.
