Good evening owls of /co/,
that's a really nice cover
>>82590998
Broderick is still a hack. A hack!
Agreed

Hello Storyteller.
Hm. So is Plastique going to be the "wants to fuck the hero" villain, or the "noble demon" villain?
>>82591034
Anon please
>>82591034
It's a classic Pieta which will accordingly never go out of style, and will always resonate
>>82591114
I never understood why people shat on Snyder for using it in BvS. People have been ripping off that pose since BEFORE Michaelangelo. He ripped it off of other artists.
>>82591105
muh anon
so I think I may have
MY GOD BEES
above the shed.
>>82591162
I think people just hate all the Jesus stuff he has forced in general. Just another drop in the bucket.
>>82591114
>Khmer
Cambodia has a rich and fascinating history which, like most of human history, involves racial oppression, batshit insane warlords, and several attempts at genocide. It's kind of amazing that the Khmer people still exist.
>>82590998
Nothing ever looks quite so dead as the Pietà .
>>82591183
Bees? Are you going to hit them with some poison OP?
>>82591183
Zirch is being entertaining tonight on Twitter
>>82591162
yeah, it's an essential bit of Western iconography
>>82591183
Turn it into a hive.
>>82591362
I'm going to call someone tomorrow about checking this out and hopefully removing them without mass bee murder
>>82591302
this is very, very true
>>82591384
I am pretty much terrified of bees, which can be a bit of a gardening problem, I admit
>>82591289
>forced Jesus symbolism
>in a Superman story
>implying that's new
Fucking casuals.
>>82591364
>using Nate's body as a shield
Pfft! Bette, pls.
>>82591364
I'm glad Zircher says this stuff. The voice of reason.
>>82591364
Today I learned about the Andrew Jackson's big-ass wheel of cheese and the Cheshire Mammoth Cheese thanks to Kurt Busiek. And all thanks to angry Olicity shippers. Ah, Twitter.
>>82591447
She's a practical woman!
OP is a faggot
>>82591438
I went into my bathroom earlier and there was a spider dangling from the ceiling
I didn't kill it but now I don't know where it is so I kind of wish I did
>>82591498
<3
>>82591438
Bees are cute IMO. And holy in Utah. Consider the lilies of the field, but don't forget their tenders either.
>>82591447
I think the annoyance is less about the existence of the imagery but that people feel as if he thinks he's being clever by doing it rather than it just being included.
But fuck movies, I don't really care.
>>82591517
Spiders are cute IMO. We should let them shelter in our houses, for the frailest of houses is surely the house of the spider.
>>82591403
Squirt water at them to assert your dominance
Also how many heroes have been started by bombs? All I know of are Hulk, Miracleman, and Cap here, but there's gotta be more.
>>82591589
I know spiders are good and that the tiny one in my bathroom cannot actually hurt me, but they still creep me the hell out
>>82591542
Bees are cute, but holy shit fuck yellowjackets. They don't die by their stings so they're much more trigger-happy and aggressive.
>>82591542
>>82591589
>Spiders are cute IMO
>Bees are cute IMO
Anon, you're sick and you sicken me. Get outta my house!
>>82591162
If he used just the one, people would make jokes about being unsubtle with the Jesus metaphor.
With EVERYTHING ELSE, it stops being a cutsey joke and it becomes a legit criticism.
>>82591537
Nathaniel Adam: Also Jesus
>>82591542
I am 100% calling someone who will try to safely remove them, bees are amazing and I plant things they love, I just have a profound phobia of shit that flies and stings thanks to elementary school-age trauma.
>>82591614
I found that studying biology (and actually having experience out in the woods backpacking and camping and shit) has made me stop caring about most bugs and reptiles.
>>82591638
I'm just trying to work as many religious quotations as I can in there. I admit I don't have one for wasps though >>82591616. I'm sorry Snyder. I have failed you.
>>82591616
a couple years ago a coworker told me that she woke up and her apartment was full of bees EVERYWHERE, all over the floor and in the bed and on the counters and all over the place
a gardener coworker recommended that she call a beekeeper and have them save as many bees as they could, until the first coworker showed us some pictures she took
they weren't bees, they were YELLOWJACKETS. there were THOUSANDS OF YELLOWJACKETS all over her apartment
>>82591616
FUCK yellowjackets I hate them so much
The best way to kill those, btw: find the nest. At night, cover it with a glass bowl that's dug in slightly around the entrance. They will try to escape to the light and starve to death.
>>82591638
Anon, Bees make delicious honey and they help pollinate flowers (unlike Wasps, which are just evil little bastards). And if you keep Spiders, they kill the flies and other creepy crawlies that infest your home.
>>82591651
I actually did study biology but spiders are still creepy and bugs are still gross
reptiles are fine though, snakes a cute
>>82591693
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>82591699
strategic leg position, and she's 100% getting an eyeful
>>82591645
Ah when I was a kid I was 100% the kid who would just sit and let the bee/wasp crawl over his face. I've only been stung once that I can remember, but I got a bit more wary when I witnessed a severe reaction.
>>82591693
horrifying
>>82591693
Wow I wonder what happened there.
>>82591364
>comic book sales are not valid evidence for any argument, imo. The whole sales system/apparatus is broken
>is it naive to think the big two should seriously try to appeal and sell to more than small, core weekly readership?
And this guy calls himself 'Occam's Razor'
>>82591693
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>82591729
>snakes a cute
True. Some bugs are cute too.
>>82591749
I stuck my hand in my hair and got a yellowjacket sting and had to have antibiotics for the swelling in my fingers; pretty traumatic for an 8-year old
>>82591874
Terrorist skills, baby.
>>82591782
I think some yellowjackets had built a nest in the walls of her apartment (it was a repurposed old factory building iirc) and eventually found a way into the apartment
>>82591693
That sounds deliberate really. Like someone had to have done it on purpose.
>>82591922
That's totally fascinating. Do you know how it got resolved? What did she do when she woke up and saw them everywhere?
>>82591874
That reminds me of the time my cousin tricked me into believing that if your hair was clean, bees would fly in and make a nest.
My cousin was a bit of a dick.
>>82591874
The one time I got stung once of my friends was trying to hit a wasp with an empty juice can and it got annoyed and stung me, so it was still a valuable moral lesson.
It's always totally fascinating to me how early traumas can influence later/adult behavior.
>>82591947
NGL, I would have freaked the complete fuck out
Man, I've read a hundred fics with this scenario. It kicks right in the id.
never gonna catch up to the capt.
Plastique backstory is new, never knew I should read her with an accent
>>82591947
>Do you know how it got resolved?
I think they had to stay somewhere else for a few days until an exterminator got in there and made sure there wasn't a nest and got rid of all the ones in her apartment (although like a week later she said she was still finding them in cupboards and crannies occasionally)
>What did she do when she woke up and saw them everywhere?
beyond FREAK THE FUCK OUT? I think they grabbed a few clothes and got the hell out of there. she said her husband got stung once but I am amazed they didn't both get stung a bunch of times
>>82592076
yeah, she's Quebecoise
>>82591488
My favorite part about the wheel of cheese story is that when Van Buren was president he kept finding leftover cheese in closets and shit
Jackson was fucking wild
>>82591857
Most birds are cute, he's got stacked genetics.

>>82591699
>The best way to kill those, btw: find the nest. At night, cover it with a glass bowl that's dug in slightly around the entrance. They will try to escape to the light and starve to death.
Pour gasoline down their nest and let them suffocate in it.
>>82592028
I like childhood anecdotes/fictions like this. I knew a girl who used to say the spots on her ears were flies' eggs and they'd hatch if we bothered her.
>>82592037
>Man, I've read a hundred fics with this scenario. It kicks right in the id.
I am not brave enough to delve into the world of fanfiction.
>>82592148
gasoline is not the best thing for the health of the surrounding soil, though.
>>82592148
that seems dangerous especially in the summer
>>82591699
>>82592148
Fuck that shit, just use a flamethrower.
>>82592161
Man I thought OP was referencing friend-and-enemy-trapped-together fics. If they were referring to waking up surrounding by thousands of insects fics, I want some links.
>>82592088
That's wild. That actually seems really exploitable for some fiction story.
>>82592218
No no no, insects are definitely not my kink, although it's okay if they're your kink, this is a non-judgemental storytime
except for Loki
>>82592218
What about OTP-trapped-together-in-a-cave-full-of-wasps?
>>82592245
It would be super easy to turn into a horror or scifi story!
>>82592246
Sex pollen? Old hat. WE SEX WASPS NOW
>>82592246
>>82592282
that sounds like it ought to be a Chuck Tingle story
>>82592161
I would only really avoid it for something truly well written but if it's just normal mediocre stuff then no real harm done. I mean it's still mostly wish fulfillment and porn but seeing other scenarios play out with canon knowledge can be fun enough. Can't take it seriously.
>>82592330
>you get to have wild sex
>the downside is the sex wasps are going to lay eggs in your sting wounds
>>82592340
>>82592246
It's not my kink but I find them and especially how they're used in stories and stuff very interesting. Also considering how distinct the idea of a bee is from the idea of a cow, dog, pig, etc in human cultures.
>>82592282
>It would be super easy to turn into a horror or scifi story!
Yeah but I can see it working when included even where it's not the main beat of the story. It's just a really effective scene to imagine.
>>82592381
>I--I don't remember!
>>82592364
Oviposition kink is a weird place.
>>82592422
>>82592481
awww yesss
>>82592422
Plastique, have you ever heard the term 'tsundere'?
So in answer to my first question, turns out she's both the noble demon, AND the wants to fuck the hero villain. Interesting.
>>82592498
backstory time!
I appreciate they drop you into this series without making a slog through everything chronologically
>>82592531
I mean, if you have a disease that makes you only talk in TVtropes pages, I guess so?
>>82592562
>>82592578
Dammit. Bees.
>>82592649
>>82592649
Bees with the skull jacket on are always the worst ones.
>>82592498

Oh this is fucking classic.
>>82592571

>>82592743

>>82591693
>confusing yellowjackets and bees
How do people get them mixed up?
>>82592113
They had to replace all the carpets too, right?
>>82592804
>>82592815
yellowjackets aren't as obviously malevolent as, like, wood hornets
>>82592804
He'd be the perfect guy for Tinya's mom in the Post Zero Hour Legion. Both are evil for evils sake.
>>82592804
These dudes' arms are really throwing me off.
>>82591162
The Superchrist allegories were thick enough even without the Church scene in MoS. That apparently they're even more superfluous in BvS is unsurprising.
The problem is not the existence of the pose, it's the context.
And with Snyderman, the context is "this is super serious, like religion, don't you get it, you dummies!"
>>82591638
All animals are cute.Except fleas.
>>82592868
>>82592804
Eiling make Winema Wazzo look reasonable.
>>82592787
Called out for what, acknowledging that archetypes exist? Look, shitstain, just because you insist on doing the 4chan thing of getting upset that other websites exist, doesn't mean I should have to curb my language to avoid triggering you. Like I said, do the world a favor and jump off a cliff.
>>82592919
Why are you so offended and upset?
>>82592919
>>82592953
Could you both just not do this? Where is this going?
>>82592904
fleas are also fucking horrible

>>82593015

I always though it was less a matter of bravery and more a matter of being patient enough to slog through the mountains of crap.

She also had me convinced she was a vampire for a while. It sounds stupid now, but she's really pasty so it seemed believable at the time.

>>82593439
How old were you and your sister when you got convinced of these things? If she grew up to draw gory paintings of hummingbird murders, or speed metal concept albums of that, you have to hit me up.
>>82593482
that's some firepower he's packing, eh
>>82593494
Yeah, there was a really good Nature on hummingbirds a few years ago. They make this amazing buzz sound if you get close enough.
>>82593535
Sure you don't want to take the scenic route getting there Captain?
>>82593520
Haha no. I was like 6, and she was 17. I was just a really gullible kid, and she thought it was funny to tell me the house was haunted then scratch on my in the middle of the night, or convince me mustard powder was candy (it is not candy).
>>82593535

The age difference actually makes that second one sound pretty abusive.

I fell for it twice, so it's kinda my fault. It was kind of obvious in hindsight.

>>82593774
I didn't like JLI that much last time I tried (maybe 5 years ago). I'm willing to give it a second chance since I don't even remember the problem.
I liked the two Superbuddies minis though so I don't know. I might have just been in a bad mood or something.

One of my favorite parts of the Byrne Namor run was when Misty was talking about how Danny was never comfortable with K'un L'un killing "peaceful plant people" and Doctor Strange basically goes "Where'd you get that idea? Plants are killers just like animals."

Hey, I remember millennium from our read-throughs of Perez Wondy and Post-Crisis Legion. It was really fucking tedious and seemed to accomplish almost nothing whatsoever.
>>82594588
It's honestly one of the worst DC events of all time, and since this isn't Marvel we're talking about that actually IS saying a lot.
>>82594588
It launched the Manhunter solo series, so I'd say it was worth it.
>>82594588
yep!
it also did get rid of Todd's Horrible Girlfriend, tho

>Uh, maybe that was a general term for bald people in the 80s
It was. Skinheads were originally just British punks with short/no hair, who tended to wear military surplus.
The whole neo-nazi thing came later. But I'm pretty sure before 86-87 like this issue.
>>82594963
Ironically, skinheads were actually inspired by Jamaican rudeboys.

Eiling has been ridiculously nasty since his first page where you see him tear up that letter to Nate's wife and kids.
He's thoroughly irredeemable. Every page he's on he just gets worse and worse until I can totally believe this is the kind of guy who'd get a whole company of soldiers killed to fuck over a guy so he can steal his girl.
>>82592815
They're black and yellow, live in hives and sting people.

As of X-23's backstory, radiation still plays a role which is how they got her claws to pop before she reached adolescence.
It sort of works, because radiation can effect ones genes. Though depending on the circumstances, the effect is more like something out of a horror movie than any superhero comic book.
RIP Hisashi Ouchi and Masato Shinohara.

I had never read much of Captain Atom and didn't know much beyond the cartoons and that two-part story from the Young Justice comic written by Weisman himself.
