How is it twisting words? You're saying you're not praising it at the same time as saying you like it. That's praise.

Oh, you're full of it and you know it damn well.

No, you're just factually wrong. Deal with it, and reply relevantly or not at all.

Burn what? You're the one burning your own bridges here. I can laugh at something or laugh with it.

Who is talking about laughing? We're talking about you claiming you liked something, but won't praise it, simply because you're scared of losing credibility. You're not brave enough to say "Yeah, I liked this, what of it?". You always have to throw in "...but I think it's a poor movie.". You liked it, just admit it.

Don't flatter yourself, okay? You're not winning anything. All you doing is cover up your mess. That's why you make 10,000 words posts.

Better to have 1,000 relevant words than this pile of bs that you are posting.

It hurts you that I'm critical! And it hurts you to admit it. That is why you keep coming back. Give it up already.

What have you said regarding the topic so far in this post? Nothing really, because you can't. You simply cannot debate. You're like a kid with a stutter, all the will in the world can't stop you from sounding like a faulty engine.

Because it isn't! If it was a vendetta I would be encouraging people to STOP READING THEM! That's a vendetta! Next stupid question....

A) Then WHY did you correct me when I said you DIDN'T have a vendetta?

B) That's not what the word means. It means "Prolonged or bitter feud/animosity.". You have this, do you not? You do or you don't, make your mind up.

I'm not covering anything up, Elf. I'm giving you my honest opinion and proving how ridiculous and illogical your points are. You are the one making post content out of insisting shit that I never said.

Such anger, you're quite close to breaking point aren't you?

Not all writers are doing that, anyway, how would you know? You don't even read Marvel. There are a lot of good comics in there at the moment. It's just like the music industry, all the mainstreams are mostly there to please the fans, then there's a lot of gems.

I've told for the ONE MILLION time that this Hulk wasn't suppose to be incredible powerful! If Jack Kirby wanted him to be more powerful then he would have writen the character like some god. Instead Hulk was a cause of an accident! BIG FRIGGIN DIFFERENCE!

He was intended to be "The strongest there is.", "The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets.". It's a clever, open-ended way of using artistic licence. He is as strong as he needs to be, that is how it was intended. He is the strongest there is in many ways now, so it's not that different. Contemporaries evolve, so has he. Superman couldn't fly when he was first created, it's not shit that he can fly though, is it?

I suggest you brush up on Hulk history, personally.

Answer my question unless you are sincerely too afraid.

Did he write the books, any of them, personally...or was it the fans writing about his creations that he just endorsed? Exactly. We know the truth.

Who is truly under Marvel's thumb? You. Who is under MY thumb? You. Like Marvel, you can't stand me, don't want to debate with me, are bored by me...yet...here you are, again, after two previous debates where you have claimed you won't associate with me. SOMETHING keeps you coming back, and it's your inner need to gain one up on me.

Maybe. Hard to say what exactly starts the debate.

^ wow

Anyway. Just came back from the "Ironman" movie. It was a cool watch. It had some really nice and flashy eye candy visuals. I thought it had too much dialogue almost nearing that or "Hulk". I would've like to have seen more action. But when it was happening, most the action was kick ass, though.

Would've been nice if a more well known traditional villain played the part but i guess that's for the unseemingly apparent sequel.

I don't think i'd put this on my top 5 best Marvel flicks. But it's in my top 10.

I loved Starks smug yet cool and sarcastic 'tude.

7.5/10

He disagrees with a post, then feels the need to ramble on relentlessly regardless if he has a valid point or not. It's AC's way or no way at all.

The dialogue was great, I prefer a movie that can bring you story as well as eye candy. Too much action would just make it another flashy, sucky movie. You've got to flesh the characters out.

Wasn't that an early version of War Machine as the villain? That's perfect for an Iron Man movie.

Wouldn't you keep going on if someone was disputing what you're saying? My point is that it's almost always AC that starts the debate and the 10 paragraph posts. That's all I'm saying.

Irrelevant to the topic and I apologize but....I just want to go back to this:

That's more of a leap to me.

"2. He couldn't fly, either. Right. Though he did possess super-strong legs that allowed him to "leap tall buildings in a single bound." His ability to fly was added in the early 1940s. And, when he returns to the Kent farm after his sabbatical in Superman Returns, he's wearing a dark-gray suit rather than the red-and-blue blanket we've come to know as the material for his super-suit."

That's been the debate for years:

Did Superman Leap or fly in that panel?

But what you say next about the suit is also true. Can't argue you points. I know when I'm stumped.

The way it was drawn makes you think he's flying, but you can be in that same position after you've made your leap too. All you really have to do is look at the panel where he's got Lois in his arms and leaping across town. If he could very well fly, he would have been flying in that panel.

Can we stop arguing over penis size here? Obviously, Bardock has the biggest penis here. He showed it to me after he bought it.

Phucked Up just doesn't like me, you have to take it for what it is.

It wasn't the fact that you were critical at Marvel movies, it was the fact that you were acting like they had committed the holocaust. "It doesn't excuse them from the garbage they've done before.".

A) Garbage you continually pay to see, and therefore fund the creation of. Did you see F4? Michael Chiklis or whatever his name is said that F4 2 would rely on people paying to see F4. I admit I did my part, but you do not. It also removes a bit of the right to complain, like voting for Bush.

B) It's fanboy talk to say "Do something good, but I will still slam you for the bad shit you did.". You can't seem to get over it.

It's not your critical comments I can't take, considering there are many people on here, including myself, who have slated other Marvel movies, so let's leave that factually incorrect assumption in the dust.

What puzzled me was the way you took it so personal, yet continued to pay attention to Marvel. As much as I dislike him, it's true what Ben Affleck said; "The internet is full of nerds who go on about things they despise, yet, can't stop discussing.". He means you.

Because you don't know what vendetta means. Just so you know...Vendetta is not a guy wearing a white mask and a V.

So the dictionary is wrong, then?

ven·det·ta

1. a private feud in which the members of the family of a murdered person seek to avenge the murder by killing the slayer or one of the slayer's relatives, esp. such vengeance as once practiced in Corsica and parts of Italy.

2. any prolonged and bitter feud, rivalry, contention, or the like: a political vendetta.

You are denying that you have no prolonged (Since 1996) resentment or bitter feelings or animosity toward Marvel? Do I need to quote where you said you felt like they killed characters to you? That it was a CRIME to you?

Yes, it's a vendetta, son.

He couldn't. He could "LEAP tall buildings in a single bound.", he couldn't fly. He wasn't originally conceived with a flying ability, but a leaping ability. Go do the research on the two men who created him and you will find that I am factually correct.

In the book A Scientific Explanation of Superman's Amazing Strength, you can read that his leaping properties were supposed to be human proportionate to a frog or ant, superhuman, but it was hard to draw. That's the only reason why he can fly now.

Hahaha, I don't care who your words reach, Dwarf. The FACT of the matter is, Marvel have still got your interest and got your attention. You dedicate time and money to them, so how have you ditched them? You are in far worse position. I read certain comics, see certain movies. I don't claim to hate or love Marvel inherently. They're just a company. That's like saying you LOVE rock music. I love some rock music, I don't love it all. I love SOME Marvel comics/movies, not all.

The difference is, you have made the specific effort to rid yourself of them, but you choose to keep going back, or they keep bringing you back. Either way, you haven't got a leg to stand on.

While I'm at it, here is a review/essay written based on the book. Scroll down a bit:

http://www.firstscience.com/home/articles/humans/the-science-of-superman-page-2-1_1331.html

You'll find something along the lines of: "There was no way of explaining flight, so the best Superman could do was jump. Over time, his powers were changed to flying due to an ever-demanding audience.".

So not only were you. Mr. D.C., wrong about him being always able to fly, but he can only fly because of inability to be drawn as such, and due to...WHAT...demanding audiences. What did you just say about characters being changed because of demanding audiences? You called them fanboys. If this is true (It is, it was a book published by D.C., it's on Amazon for sale), then D.C. were catering to fanboys way before Marvel.

Do you have anything to say, or are you still chewing on your foot?

Haha, I'm sure you've got non-fanboy based facts to counter the factual history of D.C.

Go on, haha. No, really. Do. Just cos I'm nice, here are those excerpts, to save time:

Whoa, JUMP. Not fly...JUMP, and only because of the "demands" of the increasing audiences did he begin flying!

Wait, there's more:

Again with the leaping. Though, I suppose me, that writer, and D.C. are all lying. Of course, Phucked Up makes the same claim and you agree to being stumped. Either way, you don't know your shit.
