COBRA!!!

I'll find the lyrics later...

El Blanco They have been for a while. There are some charecters who are Greek style tragedies. Although, histories tend to get rewritten. Magneto started out as just trying to live in peace with mutants and was pushed too far. Cobra Commander was a car salesman whose bussiness went under and the brother he worshipped was killed while drunk driving.

You are by no means meant to like or excuse their actions, but you understand why some of them went over the edge and can see how good men can go wrong.

Perndog I thought a lot of comic book villains these days were written so readers could empathize with them on some level.

El Blanco Destro would soooooooo kick Dr Doom's ass.






Ya, I'm a big fucking loser. So what?

mburbank It's always worth mentioning Matter Eater Lad.
Feb 6th, 2004 02:37 PM
Buffalo Tom Actually, I always thought Vince resembled Matter Eater Lad of the Legion of Superheroes. You know, because both of them were useless and contributed nothing of value to the groups they were associated with. Oh and because both are FAT ASSES.

mburbank Vinthy. Sad, shy little Vinthy. When will your full powers return? I hate to see you like this, I do.

Comics are great. I was reading them before you were born. Still do. Nothing wrong there.

Nothing wrong with identifying with Doom when your sixteen. I mean, apart from the fact that he's a bad guy and a megalomaniac and he always looses. Those are things it might not be that healthy to identify with, even when you're a lonley sixteen year old fatty feinting out and hiving up at the drop of a hat.

But at 22 while there's still no problem at all liking comics, although you really should be moving beyond the He Man Dr. Doom zone; still meaning every word of a sixteen year old's post? About identifying with bad guy megalomaniac who always looses?

Identifying with a supervillian?

Identifying with a superhero comic book character at all?

It's sad. I don't think that's even debatable.

That would explain my sudden weight gain, as well as loss of grammar skills and social graces.

Got a pellet for you right here, hotshot.

Now please explain why you sound like a Hitler Jugend in your description of the good doctor.

In short, Vince is a whiny man suffering from delusions of grandeur and has trouble telling the comic book world and the real world apart.

You have every right to say that, Vince. I mean, it's not like YOU try to emulate anybody that is above you in EVERY SINGLE WAY POSSIBLE. That's right, son. Keep trying to get that Von Doom job. I hear they are hiring.




p.s. Thank you for coming back. I wasn't able to say anything smart without you being there to be the other end of the spectrum

Emu How old his he again? It's not that there's anything wrong with liking comic books past a certain age, but the way he made the page arises suspicion...
Feb 5th, 2004 07:33 PM
Rez it's funny to hold any sort of love and respect for a character with a goofy ass name from the 40s.

its whats wrong with comic books.. among other things.
Feb 5th, 2004 02:29 PM
sspadowsky Oh. My. God.
