Re: POINTLESS THREAD IIb: ESCAPE FROM RAPTOR MOUNTAIN
horsefish:
Not sure how to describe this, but it's...uh...entrancing? Maybe it's just me. I'll call it Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Information Overload.
Alex C:
Yeah, the gender and hostility angles make it come across as a bit awkward and weird even if that dark haired guy isn't necessarily intended to be sympathetic.
Anyway though, I did once have a conversation about Tony Stark is a few years ago when the movie was first announced that sorta reminded me of that comic, if only because it's always a touch jarring to remember what weird place in pop culture some super heroes have. Iron Man and Thor in particular are odd ones. To comic fans, they're straight up A-listers. To everyone else, they've been sort of an afterthought, even compared to otherwise comparably popular DC characters like the Flash and Green Lantern. After all they-- and hell, Aquaman-- at least had a stint on Super Friends and Justice League to get them some exposure. It makes talking to less involved fans kind of odd because it's possible to have a great deal of affection for quite a few characters without ever really having read any comics at all. That's not a bad thing, but it is kinda confusing at times.
Josefbugman:
Didn't Iron Man have his own cartoon show for a little while, in the same vein (and by the same company) as "Hulk" and "spiderman"?
Tom:
Yes, you're thinking of the mid 90's Iron Man cartoon which is unsurprisingly awful. More recently there's the French Armoured Adventures series which is suprisingly good.
Stryc9Fuego:
You mean the one where they arbitrarily gave Tony Stark blue anime hair?
