And by "people" we mean those with no grasp in reality that were always going to scream bias anyway.

Exactly. Removing Wade isn't going to change the perception of people who are going to back Trump no matter what.

I might be confusing 616 and ultimate. Was there a Vietnam cap too or am I imagining things?

You're confusing Iron Man and Punisher with Cap. The former 2 are who gets their respective wars changed, not Cap.

Why on Earth she admitted this publicly is crazy.

Not really. Social media has given everyone an overinflated sense of self-importance. So they'll loudly proclaim the dumbest things.

Not to fair to compare animation to shows that came out decades apart, and I felt the 90's X-men had the most fleshed out versions of most of them...in Wolverine in the X-men only Wolverine and oh...Frost even had time to develop personality.

Hell Magneto was still the best in the 90's version as he backtracked in complexity in later versions. Gambit just got reduced to a cameo in the later shows along some of the others. The 90's one is still the only one to give us Cable and many others to.

Well it's not like they aired decades apart, so if you're going to claim one is so much better than the others, it's fair to talk about everything.

And I don't care about cameos. I care about actual food writing/dialogue, which sucked in TAS.

Kid me definitely had a crush on Rogue >_> I may not know what a chiseled ass was yet, but I knew Rogue was hot

Sure but not because of her ass, which is what your initial post was specifically addressing. Not to mention, she was much hotter in the comics, which may also be what people are conflating.

NeonOPPAl posted...

It made such an impression tho. I'm a boobman, but even I have to respect the precedent that Rogue's butt laid out for multiple generations

It didn't set a precedent. What you're thinking of is the meme that had been passed around for decades, long after the show aired.

Necronmon posted...

Nah its still superior to all the ones after it. Evolution took to long to get out of the high school phase, and Wolverine and the X-men only lasted a season.

I very much disagree. The action, plots, characterization and animation on those two shows were MUCH better than TAS.

Lol, the show was fantastic when it released back in the day. It's what made me a huge X-Men fan.

It was not lol that's just nostalgia talking.

aarrgus posted...

I'm continuously astounded by the excitement people have for this show...

It's like I watched a completely different (and massively boring) X-Men cartoon in the 1990's than everyone else...

You didn't. It's massively overrated.

i did watch it. RDJs scenes were nothing special and they shouldve cut his whole ending part out and saved 30 minutes

Yes. Removing the main villain and nothing changes lol

I am criticizing the performance. Hes just playing himself like Ironman

You didn't even see the movie and your posts are confirming it.

I don't know if you saw stories on that guy Trevor, but apparently he already had a girlfriend when he went into the show and something happpened between them, they got in a fight or something and he told her he'd release shit about her if she ever went public that he was in a relationship and went on the show for clout.

So, at the reunion he is going to explain a lot of shit.

Yeah I saw that. Also, I'm sure the rumors about Kenneth being gay will be addressed.

My wife and I watch it. This season was a complete train wreck lol I can't wait for the reunion.

You know what I never understood about the X Men in the Marvel universe?

Avengers? Fine
Fantastic Four? Fine
Everyone else? Fine
Mutants? NO MORE MUTANTS! NO MORE MUTANTS!

but they're exactly the same as literally every other superhero!

It's almost as though racism is illogical.

Anyone mention the movie Alien yet?

Came in to say "Aliens."

Yeah, its not really country at all. I doubt they will play it on the country stations

They already are.

The amount of people mad at her for doing country is funny but not unexpected.

the transformation left him with some memory issues

so, basically he's a Draconic Sorcerer, draconic blood powers slowly turning him more dragon-like.
we got to a ruin of an old battlefield of a Founder-Dragon (playing Strixhaven, the big Dragons are essentially Gods)
he came into contact with an item that transported him 700 years in the past, where he spoke to one.
he jumped into a pool of concentrated Mana, in which the change started, and was frozen like Fry in the first episode of Futurama for his friends to find him.

he might remember the old one at some point, but to start with he's gonna be a bit out of sorts

Gotcha! So maybe something close to his old name but "off" a bit?

Why doesn't he still use the name Sebastian? It's not actually a new character, right?

They did it via Black magic.

It's weird that so many superheroes went to the wedding of a remorseless assassin who has literally killed some of their friends.

If I was Marvel I would probably have chosen a different lesbian couple for their big first lesbian wedding.

Apocalypse was a prominent member of the X-Men recently. They have pretty low standards these days.

That's not at all how words work.

Tyranthraxus posted...

Did you know that was actually the original ending of the original series? (Al and Sam leap together I mean.) They didn't get a season 6 though so they had to change it in a way that they could reboot it later if the publishers changed their mind but that never happened. So instead the original series just xenogears the ending.

I did not know that. Pretty cool they got to use it now and it still makes sense.

I just saw a post on FB complaining about "identity politics" being in X-Men.

emblem-man posted...

just finished ep12 the fireman one. Gideon is Jeffrey right?

Yes. So the twist with the finale is pretty cool. I wonder how long the new status quo will last?

TheSavageDragon posted...

How is it treated as the "end all be all" of the plan when the very start of the series clearly shows it lead into a century of war?

I mean as far as ending the threat of the Avatar from the Fire Nation's POV. When it really wouldn't have done anything even had they succeeded in killing the Air Avatar.

pegusus123456 posted...

Firstly, you don't know what a plot hole is. A character making a mistake is not a plot hole. Secondly, Sozin's best friend was the previous avatar. He probably clued in to the fact they didn't get him when there was no apocalyptic demigod suddenly rampaging across his forces when the Avatar State kicked in.

I'm well aware of what a "plot hole" is and this qualifies. This was not a mistake, it's the entire premise of the show and treated as though it makes sense when it actually doesn't. And you're making a lot of assumptions to fill it.

pegusus123456 posted...

Sozin died in 20AG, the raids started at most twenty years later. Accounting for the coronation, other military actions, continuing his father's search for the last airbender for a while, and the fact that their fastest form of communication is a bird, I think it's reasonable that it took that long to implement a new military strategy.

Their mode of communication never impeded them in the series. You're overthinking it. The fact is it wasn't fully thought out when they wrote the show and that's fine. It's still a plot hole.

pegusus123456 posted...

Aang is an extreme outlier. Most avatars learn what they are when they're sixteen and then it takes years of training to master all four elements. It took Korra thirteen years to master earth, air, and fire.

So even if Aang had been killed, the Water Tribe avatar had been born, and they'd managed to master them in secret, that still gives the Fire Nation about thirty years to freely swing their dick around. And they'd be down airbending, so they wouldn't even be at full power.

And once those 30 years are up, they're screwed so what would be the point? It's treated in the show like wiping out the Air nomads is the end all he all of the plan and would allow them total victory when, in reality, it wouldn't really change much.

pegusus123456 posted...

But they did wipe out all of the water benders (they thought) and the avatar would obviously be a bender. They couldn't be that selective with the Air Nomads because all Air Nomads are benders.

And they waited 100 years to do so. Which doesn't make sense if they thought the Air Avatar was dead. Sozin should have immediately attacked the Water tribes but they basically waited to allow the Water Avatar to come of age? It's a hole.

pegusus123456 posted...

Sozin never believed they'd actually succeeded, so his reign would have been focused on finding the last airbender, not seeking the Water Tribe avatar.

Why wouldn't he think they succeeded? And then why would Ozai assume they did succeed when no other Avatar showed up? If the had killed the Air Avatar then the Water Avatar would be old as hell. Why kill the younger water benders? Again, it doesn't hold up.

pegusus123456 posted...

The raids against the Southern Water Tribe did not start a hundred years after the genocide. We know from Hama that they started "over sixty years ago," which would put them at 40AG at the latest.

Even then that's a long time to wait to even attempt to kill an enemy you believe will completely upend your plans.

pegusus123456 posted...

And I feel like you didn't think your thought about the earth benders through because a major plot point in the show is that the Fire Nation have been in a century-long stalemate against the Earth Kingdom.

No, I'm taking that into account because that stalemate still enabled the Earth Avatar enough time to gain power. My main point is the attack on the Air Temple wouldn't have actually solved the Avatar issue.

I mean, if that's a deal breaker for you then it's a deal breaker. I don't think it's that serious if you genuinely like her. You could actually ask her how she feels about women paying, though.

pegusus123456 posted...

This isn't true. When no Air nomad Avatar appears, it would be pretty safe to assume they were killed in the genocide. The Fire Nation explicitly seeks out and captures waterbenders from the Southern Water Tribe (they can't get to the North), almost certainly in an effort to prevent a Water Tribe Avatar.

Ozai sends Zuko to find the avatar the same way you'd send somebody to buy headlight fluid. It's his way of getting rid of his unwanted heir and the only one who doesn't know it is Zuko.

But they didn't eliminate the Southern Water Tribe like they did the Air nomads. In fact, they didn't even attack for 100 years. They also didn't kill every Earth bender.

VideoboysaysCube posted...

On an unrelated note, how did the fire nation know that the Avatar was still alive? Did they have any reason to believe that Aang wasn't among the children left at the Air Temple?

That's a plot hole never addressed in the series or the cartoon. Another is, had they actually killed the Avatar, he'd just reincarnate as a Water Bender and they'd have the same issue.

thats still vastly different in a bad way in my opinion. He was upset but wasnt ever intending to run in this version.

In the original he was straight up running away from it all. He was knowingly abandoning his role as a protector of the world because he couldnt handle the responsibility. Much prefer the original version in this respect.

It pretty much plays out the same way here. Like I said, there's not a lot of change. Major plot points and characterization is still all there.

2 episodes in and it's pretty faithful to the cartoon series so far. Which may be one of its issues because there's nothing new, it might come of as boring or "been there, done that" to some critics.

Also since it is faithful, that means it won't really pick up steam until closer to the end of the first season.

ssb_yunglink2 posted...

Thats a pretty bad change tbh. Aang running away and dealing with the consequences of that are a huge part of his character.

It wasn't changed and it is something he's dealing with in the series. He didn't just leave to clear his head. He was upset he had to leave his friends.

I'm not sure how it happened but Star Trek and X-Men fans are complaining about inclusion and diversity. Things are crazy.

So I take it the Holland movies don't count towards keeping the license? Or what about the Spider-verse films? They don't have to keep trying to make films with these supporting characters/villains.

But it's ok to pardon him and upset a bunch of other people? Or do they not count in this "unified" country she's envisioning?

I can't wait for Jimmy to see what Jess looks like lol

Clay and AD are doomed but she's ridiculously fine!!

I think Kenneth and his lady will make it.

I thought this topic was going to be about the complaints that Morph is nonbinary and that the X-Men are now "woke."

But this is much worse smh

The vampires in that universe are really lame. It makes me wonder if the author even did any research on vampires before writing

It's funny when people say this considering they're among the most powerful vampires we've seen in films or television. Like there's that meme where Blade shows up but they'd actually probably slaughter him.

Some of you are really outing yourselves here.
