Ok, so I have these series of questions that I can't figure out due to a lack of knowledge with shapeshifters in comics.
So for shapeshifters like Beast Boy, that take on singular forms (as far as I know), what happens when you hurt then while they are in form? I can guess for 4 limbed creatures, like birds, dogs, cats, monkeys, etc that hurting an arm or so, translates to the shapeshifter hurting the same limb in his normal human form. But what about when they turn into things that aren't so analogous? Like if Beast Boy became a centipede, and he lost like an arm. Well the thing has 20 pairs of arms, so it wouldn't be justified to say an entire limb goes missing (at least I don't think it would).
Essentially the overarching question would be: When in animal/shapeshifted form, how is damage to the original form "calculated"? I suppose having the answer to that would also answer what happens when they switch directly between other forms.
To make things simpler, I am just thinking of people that transform into other singular things. Beast Boy to a gorilla, rather than a shapeshifter to a swarm of hornets or something.
If you have a bunch of knowledge to show me, I'd also be interested to see what happens if the person is already damaged in human form, and what happens they start transforming into their animal form. Like a person with a sprained ankle turning into some insect. How would that damage be transferred (assuming things like this normally are)?
Beast Boy has become a mass of small creatures before also he has a very amazing healing factor. All shifters do really.

That's fine, but we can ignore it for the sake of simplifying the situation.
As for the healing factor, I noticed that tends to the trend. It makes sense considering your body is so "malleable". But even with the healing factor, if he takes some bad damage, where does it go? If you pull off a few legs from the centipede, I know there is still some delay, right? So the damage has to go somewhere for a bit when he switched back.
Depends on the story.
Animorphs automatically heal when transforming.
2016 will be start of the third dark age for animation, I can feel it in my blood. Remember: the "sixth" year of a decade tends to be the apocalypse year, or the "666" year, for just about all forms of media.
In 1966, the golden age of cartoons in the theatrical era (or what was left with it) pretty much died completely. Rudy Larriva, who directed some bad-but-sometimes-decent Looney tunes shorts, was replaced with the much worse Alex Lovy. Limited animation was in, thanks to Hanna-barbera.
In 1976, disco started to become a formidable force in music (unrelated to cartoons, but still follows the "sixth year" idea).
In 1996, Nick cancelled Pete & pete, had Gerry laybourne replaced by Herb scannell as president, and slowly began to enter their "hip, new" phase.
Also in 1996, Disney Channel hired Anne sweeney as their head. The next year, she turned it from a premium channel with Disney classics into a basic cable tweencom channel.
In early 2006, Nick replaced Herb scannell as president with Cyma zarghami, making the channel go from "meh" to "worse". Avatar started getting treated like crap and shoved around different timeslots. Naked brothers band came out. Spongebob, after the first half of season 4 was mediocre, had an even crappier second half of that season. Spongebob started to take over the schedule and hog the space of every other show.
Also in 2006, Disney channel completed their transition to full-tween channel, with Hannah montana and High school musical. Shows such as Recess, Weekenders, and fillmore were off the schedule. Kim possible was cancelled.
Throughout 06, CN aired the Re-animated movie. They ran Saved by the Bell on Adult swim for April Fools'. Commercials with Fred Fred Burger and Cheese were spammed. They cancelled Teen Titans after the "Trouble in tokyo" movie. Advertising really pushed that Ben 10 and Squirrel Boy shit. The DCAU ended with Justice league.
In 2016, something will happen. Nobody knows WHAT, but it'll be something...
Why did you make this thread twice?
Also, why did you leave out 1986?
Man, 2006 was such a shitty year. It basically just continued the tradition of 2005
>>78437612
I couldn't think of anything for that year
How does /co/ feel about it?
>>78437458
Angered.
*heavy sigh*
That's not the new PPG. That's from 2014

Apparently, it's the guy who voiced him in YJ, which is weird, since he sounds nothing like him.

>the Matrix is just a rip off of the Invisibles!!!!
Is there a more cringy allegation in the medium? Because the two are nothing alike except for some very broad plot points, and Morrison's claim that "The Wachowskis kept copies of the Invisibles on set to inspire the right look" is laughable, considering the two couldn't be more different design-wise.
Is Morrison just bitter that he can't get a film project off the ground.
>>78437156
is the clown neo and grant morison Morpheus?
Short answer, Yes.
>>78437683
nah Neo is the white boy on the left.
>>78437156
You don't get it OP. Both are conceptually the same. On the surface they look different but the ideas are all the same.
>Lapland New Forest was a Christmas-themed park that existed for a brief period in December 2008, near Ringwood, Hampshire, UK.[1] The park attracted a great deal of infamy in the United Kingdom in 2008 due to the extremely poor quality of its attractions, which largely consisted of a single billboard depicting the nativity, lights dangling from trees, mistreated animals tethered in the mud, a broken ice rink, empty garden sheds (previously described as log cabins by the website) and a very poorly decorated Santa's grotto.
>The park had been advertised as being a 'winter wonderland' that featured a huge amount of exciting family events, including 'bustling Christmas markets' and sold over 50,000 advance tickets,[2] with ticket prices beginning at £25. Over £1.2 million had been made in total.[3]
>After being open for less than one week the park closed and its website was removed, thousands of angry visitors having attacked workers at the site – including Santa and his elves, one of which was slapped around the face. Children who had looked forward to the event were reduced to tears, especially when Santa was caught smoking.[4] In February 2011, Victor Mears and Henry Mears, the brothers who ran the park, were found guilty of misleading advertising, and were jailed for 13 months each in March 2011.[5]
>In October 2011 the pair had their convictions quashed by the Court of Appeal following revelations that one of the jurors had been texting her fiance during the trial. The fiance had been present in court and the text messages (one of which simply read "guilty") had been seen by other jurors. The Court of Appeal's view was that this made the convictions unsafe. Dorset County Council, which had brought the original prosecution, subsequently indicated that it would not be seeking a retrial as the brothers had already served prison sentences.[6]
Britain can't do anything right, can it?
Well, that sure is something.
Charlie Brooker wrote on it:
>"Santa's gone home. Santa's fucking dead." As theme park slogans go, it's a winner. Sadly, it wasn't the official tagline for Lapland New Forest, the temporary Christmas attraction that was forced to close last week after furious visitors demanded their money back. Instead, the "Santa" line was shouted at a Sun reporter and a "handful of queuing families" by a member of staff disconsolately closing the gates for the last time.
>Lapland New Forest sounds like a barrel of laughs. The publicity material promised a glorious winter wonderland replete with animal attractions, an ice rink, log cabins, a nativity scene, a snowy "tunnel of light", and, of course, Santa's grotto. But according to incensed visitors, it turned out to be "little more than a mud-covered car park". They complained that the generator for the ice rink had malfunctioned, turning it into a pool of water, the "tunnel of light" was actually a few fairy lights dangling from trees covered in artificial snow, the nativity was an amateurish billboard, the log cabins were green sheds, and the animal attraction was a handful of reindeer and several "thin-looking huskies chained up in a pen". To keep the kids happy, there was apparently a four-hour queue for Santa's grotto, at the end of which families were charged £10 for a photo with the man himself. Oh, and refreshments weren't cheap either. Five drinks and a baguette would set you back £17.
>Many visitors, who'd paid around £25 per ticket, weren't especially impressed, and the mood quickly turned ugly. One of the security guards told the BBC he'd quit, partly because he was "really, really ashamed" to work there, and also because of the level of violence he and the rest of the staff had been subjected to by irate customers. "Santa got attacked," he explained. "One of the elves got smacked in the face and pushed in a pram."
Didn't Civil War in the comics involve a lot more Marvel characters than this and go on for way longer than one movie can possibly handle?
It was also a terrible story and it's good that they're not directly adapting it.
>>78434477
It's not following the actual arc with the same name.
Just like it didn't do any of the bullshit from Age of Ultron.In that case, Whedon made up his own bullshit.
At least Russos will be amazing.
Oh for fucks sakes, listen to yourself!
The whole "Not enough characters" is fucking bullshit because Age of Ultron shows that there is already too many characters in the same film! And you want to add in more? Why? You'll get the same jumbled mess of a fight anyways!
Secondly, it's hero vs. hero shit! You don't need to devote more than one more in it cause NOBODY IS GONNA GET PERMANENTLY HURT! Captain America is not gonna shove Tony's face into a buzzsaw. Clint won't put an arrow between Black Widow's eyes. You'll get one or two hero vs. hero fights, and then move on CAUSE THEY DON'T MATTER! Was your favorite part of the Avengers when Thor and Hulk fought? Or Thor and Tony? Or Hulk and Tony? Sure, they are fun, but they are time fillers. Why the fuck do you want multiple movies on fights that don't matter?
CN's going to go back downhill next year, I bet. Remember: the "sixth" year of a decade tends to be the apocalypse year, or the "666" year.
In 1996, Nick cancelled Pete & pete, had Gerry laybourne replaced by Herb scannell as president, and slowly began to enter their "hip, new" phase.
Also in 1996, Disney Channel hired Anne sweeney as their head. The next year, she turned it from a premium channel with Disney classics into a basic cable tweencom channel.
In 2006 (pic related), CN aired the Re-animated movie, aired Saved by the Bell on Adult swim for April Fools', spammed commercials with Fred Fred Burger and Cheese, cancelled Teen Titans, and really pushed that Ben 10 shit.
In 2016, something will happen, though nobody knows what.
This is bait.
>>78433874
But I'm serious, the "sixth" year of a decade is usually a deep plunge in quality
>>78433829
>really pushed that Ben 10 shit
Fucking this. I remember being bothered that they cut it off so abruptly and then being downright pissed when the same fucking animation team was already back with some dumbshit kid with a magic bracelet and a hot sister.
Least we got plenty of Gwen porn out of it.
All the animals went away
What went wrong?
Needs more comics?
>>78432437
>Mark " I AM BECOME EDGE" Millar
What went wrong they ask....
>>78432437
Literally nothing. The ending was God-tier, I nearly cried, not joking.
Comics only you remember.
Bam! Right in the kisser.
Had a lot of plot points later raised in "Freddy's Dead: the final nightmare"
I was -that kid-.
ITT: villains who were totally justified in their villainy and would have succeeded had they not forgotten one crucial detail.
>tfw you didnt seal the paint
>>78430353
What was his justification? I thought he just had a theme.
>>78431791
>villains who were totally justified in their villainy
So, /co/, interested in another 'leak'/speculation thread?
A poster on reddit said one of his friends was part of a test screening of BvS in LA and is answering questions from what his friend told him:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DC_Cinematic/comments/3y7sst/i_know_someone_who_attended_one_of_the_test/
Anything mentioned about Doomsday evolution?
>Not sure what you mean by that? Doomsday is created using Zod's body (of course), part of the Genesis Chamber and kryptonite. Apparently we see a very graphic morphing of Zod into the creature.
Like, does he evolve from what was seen in the trailer to something more like his comic book appearance?
>Oh! No, what you see is what you get.
also, was there any batfamily stuff mentioned? and is jason the dead robin?
>Jason Todd is the dead robin and is mentioned. Not sure if there's allusions to other Robins. I can ask.
>>78429873
I'll bite. How much screen time does Amy Adams have as Lois Lane?
>She wasn't really covered in our discussion, but he does say she has some great scenes, especially with Luthor.
Was Flash in it?
>I was told that Flash is only in it for a brief moment. It's literally a cameo.
How did he look?
>When I mean a "brief cameo" I mean it's literally him stopping a convenience store robbery. A red and yellow blur. Back to the camera (it's not Ezra Miller). His costume is nothing like the Injustice one as many people were hoping for (thank god). But it's also not entirely just a spandex sort of deal. Classic yellow lightning bolts on the side of his head
How's the pacing of the movie?
>Friend says it drags a bit toward the middle of the second act, but really picks up and kicks ass to the end.
Also I've heard the movie starts to fall apart near the end is that true?
>No complaints about it "falling apart" near the end.
>>78429908
Last question does it spend too much time setting up different things for movies to come?
>Laser focus on the conflict between Batman and Superman and just the beginnings of the Justice League. There are only a couple of cameos from other League members, Aquaman and the Flash.
What did he say was the reaction from the other people who saw it?
>No standing ovations, but there was definitely thunderous applause and people had jokingly asked to see it again.
In any case, recently articles were written about the possibility of an "end credits montage sequence" similar to the opening credits montage sequence from Watchmen. It was from HH so who knows, but, can your friend confirm/deny this?
>I'll have to ask about the montage.
How does Aquaman fit into this?
>Aquaman is like the Flash and only makes a cameo - where he's being dragged off by Argus.
Is Green Lantern mentioned in the film?
>Green Lantern is not mentioned.
Commissioner Gordon, alive or dead?
>Gordon is dead.
>>78429950
What was your friends opinion of Jesse Eisenberg's Luthor?
>He loved Eisenberg. The portrayal has so many layers and we've only seen just the surface in the trailers.
These are all he answered for now.
When will DC finally reprint Emerald Twilight? Jesus
I think they'd prefer that people forget about it, so probably never
>>78429625
good.

Geoff don't you have toys to play with or cashiers to harass
On /co/, it seems a lot of people are rather fond of Dick Grayson because...well, y'know.
Are these people generally straight women, or faggots?

Straight men can appreciate Dick as well.
