Are you kidding me? That's just stupid!

When you're reading a comic and you come across a particularly impressive feat - regardless of whether it's accomplished by your favorite character, least favorite, or by someone you're totally indifferent concerning - at what point do you take a step back, stop suspending disbelief and just utter to yourself "Now, that's just dumb"?

Regardless of whether it's moving planets with giant chains, or some of the weird pseudo-science explanations for the way technologies work, whatever it is.

Where does disbelief resume?

I rarely notice it unless it's got something to do with my favourite characters.

A year ago, I had seizure if Wolverine lost a fight.

Wolverine winning over Shang Chi in 3-4 panels. It seemed like the overgloryfiing of some Canucks.

Alot of the older Hulk feats have me saying that. And Wolverine catching bullets.

Superman feats that aren't consistent from page to page.

The worst I've seen is when hears the trigger get pulled on a gun miles away, rushes full speed to save Jimmy and Lois while putting cotton in their ears to protect them from the sonic boom at the same time and yet he isn't fast enough to stop a person less than a mile away from picking up a remote and blowing up a dam three pages later

Up up and away?

Something just prior to IC. Don't remember the exact issue.

Superman #217

I remember that vividly myself.

Wasn't that feat in Brazil ? I believe it was linked to a group of terrorists , one of which was a stacked brunette who later held some kind of magical parasitic rock ?

I literally said "are you f***ing kidding me!" when I was reading Last Planet Standing, when Reed used his machines and blasted back Living Tribunal's energies on himself.

When I got to issue 5, after reading it I literally threw the comic into the corner like a petulant child, and muttered "garbage, I can't believe I wasted MONEY ON THIS! ARGH". My fiance came in the room and asked what I was yelling about, I pointed to the comic, and she looked at me the way only a loving woman can look at a comic book nerd.

The part that got me most mad was that, some of the comic was awesome, then other parts so utterly retarded.

How about during Death of Superman where Superman got knocked down by a gas station blowing up? Here is the same guy that can survive planet-destroying force, getting knocked by a gas station explosion!

Plus, he didn't save the dam because an Omac came out of nowhere, and tackled him...

It was also more than three pages later. 😛

He still had to go find cotton-balls in the middle of a rain forest ermm

Didn't seem like he would've made it anyway.

Not sure if it was Brazil but I do remember terrorists and people who were stacked. No rocks jump to mind.

He was like 10 feet away and her thumb was an inch or so away from teh trigger... he would have made it. 🙂
