Namor came first.
DC turned Namor into a pathetic joke of a character who continuously is looked down upon and made a mockery of.
_{Jokes aside, I have no issue with Aquaman as a character, I think the meme of him being weak is dramatically overused - if written well, he should be one of the most powerful people on Earth - and I love Mera as a character.}

@Retired

So did Android Human Torch. Both should've stayed in the 30's where they belong.

_{And yeah, I agree, Aquaman is vastly underrated due to a series of jokes that I personally believe everyone stopped buying into awhile go - except for, ironically, DC Comics, who keeps shoehorning it in to make a statement on how Aquaman can beat the joke, or something. It just reeks of desperation and distracts from Arthur's overall story. Yeah, he talks to fish. You know what else he does? Commands a legion of great white sharks to chomp anyone he wants into bits of flesh. The ocean is no joke.}

As you're likely aware, we're polar opposites on this 'un.

Namor has a place to me, whilst I'm completely indifferent to Water-Thor as a better Thor exists already woth a superior world, supporting cast, antagonists and main character.

@Hound55

See, I've seen you make the Water-Thor comment before, and I've never really understood that. To me, he's the inversion of Thor. Thor comes from a mythical place and was raised there, fought there, and became a legend in his own right before being stranded on our little mudball of a planet to learn humility.

Arthur was raised as a human up to his mid-teens and had to learn to control an otherworldly power that gave him an advantage against a portion of the planet that's still virtually unexplored. While I definitely think some writers choose to write him as alien and distant because of the "Talking Fish-Man" stigma, I don't buy into that characterization. I think Arthur's at his best when he's the one who still clings onto his humanity despite Atlantis, who've outcast him multiple times, telling him to be more Kingly and less like the surface dwellers.

I like Dick Grayson more than Bruce Wayne.

@Lord Wraith

YOU...

Well, actually, that's perfectly reasonable. Dick wore the cowl long enough to technically be considered a Batman endorsement. And his tenure under the cowl is honestly still probably my favorite of the modern era.

Also like Harley Quinn before she became DC's Deadpool.

This. I don't know who's been left in charge of the character's comic book evolution since The New 52 made scores of people want to rent out a gallon of eye-bleach, but I genuinely have no idea why they'd want to change a genuinely genius character as invented by Batman: The Animated Series of all things and turn her into something completely different, not to mention lesser in every way. Harley worked fine before 2011. Now she's just... this unrecognizable entity that legitimately makes me sad. I miss my old Harley.

*has no real opinion of Lady Vic because that's a Nightwing thing and I've only read half of Dixon's run*

As long as we're trashing superheroes and quickly dividing lines...



This fucking guy can go right to hell. How do you turn Aquaman into an insufferable douchebag who wears a speedo and has wings on his ankles because of a "Look at me, I'm from Atlantis!" superiority complex? You create goddamn Namor The Sub-Mariner.

_{And Imperius Rex sounds like a highly uncomfortable sexual position.}

I have never liked Moon Knight. Ever. His comics bore me.
_{Also, Batman (and Superman) is overrated.}

@Retired

I SEE THE TINY TEXT, SIR!

Gambit, Gambit, Gambit, and fucking Gambit.

@Byrd Man

It's almost as if I knew you were going to say that.

Not because I have any personal affinity for Gambit, he's kind of a non-entity to me in terms of the X-Men, but because your undying hatred of Remy LeBeau is almost legendary.

Hey, you never know. Someone's Silver Sable could be someone else's Moon Knight or Iron Fist. Different strokes for different folks.

Me? I like Deadpool. I've liked him even before the movie came out and made him a hot commodity. Some find him particularly annoying and wish that he would have never existed, but I'm not one of those people.

On the other hand, fuck Hank Pym. Fuck him in his "Science first!" ass, fuck him for being a wife-beating psychopath, and fuck him for perpetuating the idea that Ant-Man is in any way more interesting than The Wasp. Outside of the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon and the MCU embittered old fart interpretation, I could literally be driven to sleep by any given scene with him in it. I am not only happy that Scott Lang is the movies' version of Ant-Man, I almost wish Pym didn't even have to be a factor, but y'know. Comic book accuracy.

There, now I'm open to attack for my selectively stupid taste in characters that favors Deadpool over one of the founding members of The Avengers.

Who else favors one character over another, more popular character or has never seen the appeal of a particular superhero?*

_{*Anyone who answers "Batman" is getting automatically kicked from the game, because how dare you.}

Too bad Venom is getting hype for some reason.

@Lord Wraith

I think most people who don't keep up with industry news assume it'll be related to Spider-Man and aren't aware of the difference between Sony's cinematic universe and Marvel's. So no matter how it looks, they think "Hey, it's Marvel! There's a good chance it'll be good!"

Which Sony is betting on, given the giant (IN ASSOCIATION WITH) Marvel (Not Studios) banner infront of every bit of footage.

You know, I don't usually wish a hard financial failure on a film, since alot of hard work goes into making them and people are really just doing their jobs at the behest of a bunch of out-of-touch corporate figureheads.

But I hope Venom tanks hard, regardless of it's actual quality. Sony needs a swift kick in the proverbial balls regarding putting the cart before the horse on all of this nonsense, and they need their own personal "The Mummy, courtesy of Dark Universe" type of failure to realize it.

Or one of these to bankrupt them in the event that they press ahead. They've been limping ahead as Spider-Man's cinematic disease-ridden foot that needs to be amputated for far too long.

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

Oh, no. It is a very different movie from that one.

@Byrd Man

One might say a cheerleader aspect would've greatly improved that film.

I love Spock. "To infinity and beyond!"

@Byrd Man

Excuse me, sir.

That's a Cylon.

And it's "Oh my stars and garters."

MFW I see people bringing up Star Wars.
