In his defence there was a cartoon series back in the late 90's where he was actually well written. It made a big difference. he's so recognisable they have to keep him completely vanilla or risk offending Uncle Sam.Kitsuna10060 said:
OT: Ben Grimm/The Thing, he always struck me as the Hulk with a whining little ***** at the controls.

Also, there's something that has always puzzled me about Wolverine. It's in how he got his powers in the first movie.Wutaiflea said:
His entire skeleton is coated with adamantium, but in order for that to actually work, doesn't that mean that the (supposedly) indestructible metal had to be melted into a liquid to be administered? Furthermore, in the movie, it was clearly seen through transparent plastic hoses, so wouldn't it be fair to say that it has a lower melting point than plastic?
In fact, considering that it wasn't glowing from all the IR and heat emitted from being heated to melting point, it must have a very low melting point. Metals with low melting points, like aluminum or tin do not glow when melted.
So that means it has a melting point that can be reached by conventional means, which means that it's not as indestructible as people make it out to be.
So, given this, wouldn't that mean that if you had a mutant with the ability to create vast amounts of heat, it would be possible to completely melt his claws and burn him to a crisp? Hell, a bit of human technology could do it, considering that normal human scientists were the ones who gave him the claws/skeleton in the first place.
Also, microwaves would be pretty lethal to someone who's skeleton is made out of metal, which reminds me, in the first film they put him into an MRI machine instead of an X-ray to check his health.
How the hell did they get such a clear image? Even the smallest pieces of metal, like screws, can distort an MRI. MRI machines fail if you have any kind of metal inside them, since they work using strong magnetic fields, so either the image is distorted or the metal is flung into the sides of the machine which can cause damage to it (which is ill-advised since MRI machines are expensive). And, if Magneto could bend his claws (which leads me to deduce that adamantium is magnetic), then how come the MRI didn't at least make his claws stick to the sides of the machine and ruin the interior?
I know I shouldn't be looking for logic in a movie based on a comic book, but if you're going to be setting these things in the real world and play them out as if they actually could happen, then it's reasonable that they adhere to some of the basic traits of reality.
I'm not particularly au fait with the comics to know why adamantium is indestructible, so I suppose there's a reason, but nobody has been able to give me one, yet. Maybe someone could help me out on this?
Uh.... technically even if they didn't happen he still was Anakin. He just isn't a pussy ass little *****.suitepee7 said:
And Kratos. The guy was fine in the first one, because his motive made sense... kinda. But everywhere else he is just a half-naked asshole with a blood and guts fetish stronger than the bastard child of Jigsaw and Dracula.
I admit that in some comics featuring Wolverine he's a Marty Stu (Mary Sue is what you call the girls), but we were supposed to explain why he's not an ultimate badass. THe first thing you've written is "The only reason he's so badass is..." meaning that you do consider him to be a badass and is going to explain why. Your point is that Wolverine is a Marty Stu, but you're not claiming he's not as badass as people think.Galliam said:
I know the story, but is that traceable in the Bible, or is it dictated by tradition and theology? (Honest question.)believer258 said:
As for Milton, he's the one who painted Satan as a charismatic and somewhat sympathetic character. His idea was, I think, that the Devil must be appealing if he is to be a worthy adversary for God. Since then, however, people have been doing their best to quote Paradise Lost out of context.
S/he gets involved in the whole Reaper affair because s/he's a war hero (that's why s/he's considered for the Spectres in the first place), which is more than you can say about most other blokes who save the world. But yeah, it seems mighty wasteful, for example, that Cerberus would resurrect Shepard instead of hiring someone else and using the time and money thus saved to build weapons and recruit armies.believer258 said:
The song [http://youtu.be/HeY-2ovpF9c] still rocks, though.
in the first part of DN he was a self-righteous guy that wanted to make the world a better place (by making himself the last evil person) until he started killing people that where in his way and he ended up being power hungry000Ronald said:
1) Even Alan Moore, a radical leftist, came to admire a lot in his creation. The point of the Watchmen was to try to imagine what real costumed vigilantes would be like. To dress up like that and fight crime would not require madness, but it would sure help. His particular madness motivates him, makes him what his is, and people love much about what he is which is...-Drifter- said:
I know he looks cool and all, but am I wrong, or wasn't the whole point of Rorschach that
1) he's an unstable sociopath and a right wing nut job? (In fact, his favourite magazine is basically FOX News on paper)
2) So why do so many people love him?
2) An uncompromising, brave, resourceful avenger. While he shares much with the Comedian, the Comedian really was evil. Rorschach was on balance, fighting for what he thought was right, even if somewhat demented in his reasoning.
I think, but I'm not positive, that they mentioned, in the movie at least, that once adamantium had been liquified and then cooled/hardened it became indestructible.k-ossuburb said:
Reminds me of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where this demon named The Judge was resurrected, last time he died it took an entire army to take him down. Then Buffy realized that last time he died the army was probably using spears or swords, and in modern days we have bazookas!zombiejoe said:
She blew him up with a bazooka. Where's Cthuhlu? Gonna A-bomb his ass back to the Plateau of Leng.
Just about every protagonist that has been in a game int he past couple years...

You ruined this thread for me. Thanks. *grumble* Posting Glen Beck at the very beginning*mutter*grumble* HOW WILL I EVER RAISE MY MOOD WITH REFERENCES TO HIM ALL OVER THE PLACE?!Necromancer Jim said:
Also, is Chuck Norris trying to be conservative? If so, agreed. If not, his viewpoint seems coherent enough to me, even if it's not well-thought out.
