What would you consider the greatest quote in comic books to be?
Im torn between
"With great power there must also come great responsibility"
and
"This is an imaginary story. Aren't they all?"
>>82498198HORSECOCK!
>>82498198

Oh that pshyic aids stuff in that hellblazer issue was pretty good to I can't remember the exact line though.

It's not a positive one, but it's one of the best ones to sum up Norman Osborn.

I've always wondered if Punisher 2099's dialouge was supposed to be tongue in cheek or if the writer was really trying to make him all gritty
I have a sneaking suspicion it's the latter not the former.

NYYAARRRGGGG
>>82498920
The level of self-awareness seemed to vary from page to page, but there was definitely a satiric streak in that book
>>82498198
"My first poopy was my best poopy."
"He wished for a happy ending"
>>82498994
One of the most cringe inducing lines I've ever come across.
>>82498198
>"With great power there must also come great responsibility"
Is there an elseworld story where Spiderman startet forcing new people developing super powers in becoming super heroes with out their consent, since superhumans are oblidged to do good or otherwise are seen as villains in his eyes?
>>82498994
jesus no
>>82498994
>this'll get em blogging
pure fucking cringe
"You're all Superman now"
>>82498994
Christ alive.
I get that they're trying to go with some Movie synergy here in trying to give him a funny line a la Guardians of the Galaxy's character banter but fuck me is this an awful attempt.
I really wish they wouldn't. For some characters, like Stark, it's great. Nor for Doc Strange.
Speaking of Stark, I wish they'd get the style of humour right at fucking least.
RDJ's Stark when written at his best plays the humour in a very dry way, with some of his amusing lines just being in the middle of a sentence.
I love the MCU but I hate what it's done to Marvels comics.
>>82499052
>Dystopian future where Spiderman runs the superhuman police
>All superhumans are forcibly conscripted or hunted down
This would be so good
>>82498198
>Superman will never hand you a bottle of whisky while reassuring you that everything will be okay
>>82499295
To be fair, Strange is talking to Stark there.
>>82499399
How does that make this line any less cringey?
>>82499445
It doesn't, it just gives you a reason behind it.
>>82499445
Wasn't he just repeating what Stark told him earlier, IIRC?
>>82498994
Is there a character marvel hasn't ruined in the last decade?
>>82499484
That doesn't make it any better
>>82499484
Yep.
>>82499399
I dunno, call me weird, but with a title like "SORCERER SUPREME" I'd want a little less levity out of him.
Besides, I've always seen most of Stark's Quips as him more amusing himself than trying to make the people around him laugh, but maybe that's just me.
>I dunno Phil, are you a nigger?
>>82499552
Yeah the quote doesn't work for Tony either. It's more like a spiderman quip, it's a little too teenage fangirly. Tony would say something like
>love the beard, we must go to the same barber.
In a super dry, deadpan way
"It's not who I'm underneath, but what I do that defines me"
Literally kino
>>82498198
"Goodnight, bat-signal. Goodnight, stars in the big night sky. Goodnight. Goodbye. Goodnight."
is this based or cringe /co/?
>>82499445
It was a callback to one of Stark's earlier lines.
Of course, the correct way to follow that up would be "...Christ, Strange, work on your delivery."
>>82499694

>>82499694
A version of that quote showed up in Civil War, I just remembered

Thanks for remindingme how stupid Christian Bale looked and sounded in those movies.
>>82499864
WHERE ARE THEY?!
>>82499694
Technically, it doesn't say to ignore the opinions of others. Just that you have to stand your ground if you KNOW you're right. He doesn't say anything about how to know you're right. Just that if you're right, don't bend to pressure.
>>82499694
Its sort of out of character for Cap. This is a guy who watched his buddies die face down in the muck on behalf of his government. I really doubt he would be all gung-ho about people deciding that their own principles are more important than what society tells them to do.

At least I've done one good thing in this life time.
Anyway, best quote for me would be just about anything that came out of Cap's mouth during the good the bad and the ugly.
>>82500001
this guy gets it
This one allways gets me.
>>82499998Sharon Carter says it at Peggy's funeral.I can't remember the specifics of what she says, but I guessPeggy said it to her when she was a youngin' and asking why she stuck with the military or something.
>>82499998An abridged version of it is read out at Peggy's funeral.
>>82499998
Pretty well, since it'snot Cap who says it. Sharon Carter gave it as part of her eulogy at Peggy's funeral.
>>82499694

I agree. Never has 8 words told a better story.
Obvious really, there are a bunch of great pieces of memorable text from Simonson's run
>>82498392
It's the next page that blows my mind. You can fucking hear the swelling music.
This is probably mine.
Bill is my waifu
>>82500350
You'd have no idea what it's trying to say if you didn't know about Superman though.
>>82498198
Come in out of the rain.
>>82500379
Pretty much everyone in the western world knows Superman though
>>82498920
Are you serious? How stupid do you have to be to not see the page you are referring to as a joke?
>>82500379
True. Never have 8 words distilled 70+ years of convoluted, often conflicting history into an iconic, mythical whole better, though.
10 minutes later and I can't think of anything but this.
>>82500373
Even though the animated version was kind of poor, the theme it had was fucking godlike.
I adore that theme
>>82500216
Everytime I see this scene I think to myself, "that's some awesome stretchy, puncture proof fabric".
>>82500415
You say that mate, but I remember the 90's. I remember the unironic over the top edgy designs that were supposed to be cool. I remember some of the cringy dialogue.
With the 90's you can never be too sure.
>>82500373
That Zimmer theme from MoS is so perfect the way it builds.
The best quote in comics is "This isn't a mudhole, it's an operating table. And I'm the surgeon"
>>82500555
"They showed me the world only makes sense when you force it to."
>>82500001
The panel is cool and super important but something about "I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do isn't very nice" makes it just feel better.
More Simonson goodness
>>82499957
No it's not. He literally fought a war to stop a government that had wrought such hard control over its citizens that they would allow genocide instead of standing up for what they thought was right.
The best Cap quote isn't even said by him.
![tumblr_mokp0x4Lyv1qhds48o1_500[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/v18DRtW.jpg "tumblr_mokp0x4Lyv1qhds48o1_500[1].jpg")
The whole ending of "He Stood Alone At Gjallerbru" gives me chills every single time.
>>82500652
But what Cap's saying could be said by the same government to justify their position.
>No It's Clobbering Time

>>82500677
He also did "I'm loyal to nothing, except the dream" thereMiller is too fucking good.
>>82498198
>"With great power there must also come great responsibility"
Given that Ditko was a hardcore Randian, did Stan write this just to piss him off?
>>82500731
>is
>>82500677
Cap is generally at his best when he's just horrified over the america he swore to protect.
>>82500731
There is a stretch of time in the mid to late 80s that he was also writing circles around everyone.
>>82500731
>>82499694
This line is much better. Everyone will agree
Here you go
I believe the entirety of /co/ can agree.
>>82500238
I didn't realize Mark Twain read comics as a kid. You do know that's who Cap is quoting, right?
>>82501288
The problem with that scene and that quote however in that context is Cap doesn't follow his own advice because the story can not let him.

That said, using Genesis to make the bank give them tons of money isn't too bad. The bank's probably insured, and he didn't shoot it up or anything.

>>82501538
The guy who was supposed to direct it, Tim Miller, ended up directing the Deadpool movie. After that success, i heard several studios have expressed interest in producing the Goon movie again.
>>82502351
That's Bernie...
>>82501804
This looks awesome. Reminds me of Animal Man.
Issue?
>>82502351
There were a couple of guys like that. Bernie was one of them. A wall fell on him. You're thinking of Hob.
>>82500033
dr. manhatten was the best! the movie actually did it justice as well because it literally took images from the comic book and displayed it beuatifullly onto the screen,

He basically was riffing on his mate Sir Terry Pratchett's notion of a somewhat likable compassionate death, but lord is she a good character.
>>82500706
That's exactly why it's important to not roll over just because someone else says they're right. How do you not understand this?
>>82502412
No, that's Hob. We don't know how Bernie lived as long as he did.

Same way. Dream told Hob there were lots of people that did it.

>Oh Lex, if it really mattered to you, you could have saved it years ago
>>82505952
>Why do villains get the best lines?
It is often the scale and grandeur of their act of antagonism that propels the protagonist to react. They are not necessary, but when used well they are compelling for the writer, characters and readers because their very character is to defy the mundane and your expectations.

Bendis? Seriously?
I only say because he has written legit decent comedic moments before.
Like in Ultimate Spider-Man.
This is why writers should be more like Grant Morrison or Alan Moore. Not writing comics unless they have a legit good idea for where it is going instead of just having it foist upon them.
It legitimately bothers me knowing there are countless people out there who have sick ideas for comics that will never get realised because Marvel and DC insist on giving gigs to people who have had a good run here or there in the hp that they will catch lighting in a bottle twice.
>>82507307
Bendis writes everyone's quips like Spider-Man's. It's all he knows. He's turned every Marvel character into Spidey.
>>82502781

The crossovers they did with Batman are enjoyable if not stellar too

One of the things I love about 2000ad is that everthing is canon. So him fighting Batman is canon. Him fighting the Xenomorphs is canon.
