My artistic tribute to the true #silversurfer #norrinradd despite the drama surrounding what #disney has done in the upcoming #FantasticFour film, the truth is that they missed a huge opportunity to bring this visually & narratively iconic #marvel hero appropriately to the screen

@Y2John84 One of my all time favorite movies

Reposting this since we’re seeing images from the set of #manoftomorrow its my video about what makes a great superhero costume made after the original costume reveal for #superman2025 I still stand by everything I said then & the direction James Gunn had taken the whole thing

My son is getting into comics again, he’s 14, & on a trip to the comic book store the other day he legitimately said he thought Frank Miller wasn’t as good as Rob Liefeld. The rest of the car ride was a teaching moment on the difference between producing: Batman The Dark Knight Returns, THE defining Daredevil run, Daredevil Born Again, Daredevil Man Without Fear, Ronin, Sin City, 300, & on & what Liefeld has brought to comics. Miller may have fallen off as an artist in his 80’s, but his writing in his prime was untouchable, & with Sin City, he did a great thing all artists need to do- he figured out his strengths & weaknesses & played to his strengths producing work like Marv in the snow or Hartigan in his cell. The subtlety of taking the Romita Kingpin & in the simple act of him lighting his cigarette turning him into a Frank Miller character is genius storytelling.

How comictok and CBT sees Frank Miller

@Fenrirtheicewo1 Exactly. Early Peter Parker reads more like Chandler from Friends, a nerd with a mouth on him who could actually pull in the ladies & had to keep it hidden that he could back it up. Another area Spectacular Spiderman excelled at.

@MovieCraveX The Jean Grey we should have had…

@The_Epic_Mike Saw a post this morning about how X-Men Apocalypse had the best opening of the series (not even close considering the openings of X1 in the camps & X2 w/Nightcrawler in the White House) saw a bunch of people calling the movie “peak” started to comment & then just went, naaaah.

[Southern Inks @Southern_Inks]

Yeah. I’m a big Claremont guy, & while I enjoy some of the 90’s stuff (X-Cutioners Song/AoA), & I appreciate what Morrison was trying to do w/New X-Men, it’s just never felt the same after Claremont left. He was particularly good at laying out threats inside the world of the X-Men & constantly evolving the team. Example being Macon, Cole, & Reese: random Hellfire guards who Wolverine maimed that became perennial villains & members of the Reavers. It’s felt like some 2000 the X-Men have become too focused on the world outside the team & making statements.

[Southern Inks @Southern_Inks]

Yeah. Ultimate Magneto is a whole other thing. I honestly don’t know what the plan was there. When you finish your first 6 issues by having your villain holding a burning American flag while a named president kneels at their feet, there’s not many places to go. I read that almost all the way through & it was almost an exercise in “how weird can we get with this…)

[Southern Inks @Southern_Inks]

Later stories it’s more Stephen Lang than Trask as the mind behind Master Mold. & the bigger problem was more the way events had to keep being scaled up in the X-Men side of things. When you have the team dealing with specific threats to mutant communities like the Marauders or The Reavers, it makes sense that humanity at large wouldn’t really be too concerted. But when you have Magneto wiping out all power across the world, causing mass-casualty events, it’s hard to argue there wouldn’t be serious worldwide backlash.

[Southern Inks @Southern_Inks]

No, the creation of Sentinels usually represents the human extremists who created them outside of government approval. That’s when you can say the X-Men’s mission grew to include extremism on both sides. But also with pointing out that the program was funded by Sebastian Shaw, a mutant, who saw profit in the coming strife between non powered humans & mutants brought about by violent attacks on humanity by mutants like: Magneto, Apocalypse, Sinister & so on & was revitalized by the government after Senator Kelly lost his wife to the Master-Mold/Nimrod hybrid & Magneto’s Acolytes were committing mass-murder (i think in the text it’s 90+) on innocent people in hospitals.

[Southern Inks @Southern_Inks]

Sentinel apologist? First, not sure that’s a thing. Second, pointing out that non powered humans would have a very real reason to fear random violent mutations is not apologizing for the creation of Sentinels. That represents the human extremists who usually created them outside of government approval. Third, the program was funded by Sebastian Shaw, a mutant, who saw profit in the coming strife between non powered humans & mutants brought about by violent attacks on humanity by mutants like: Magneto, Apocalypse, Sinister & so on.

[Southern Inks @Southern_Inks]

Going back to the comics, that was the whole point of the Government’s response w/ Freedom Force & later the 2nd iteration of X-Factor. But, applying direct racial allegory to the idea of mutants never really worked to begin with. It’s supposed to be a broad symbol for anyone that felt they were “outside” society & different. Most of the mutations are much more akin to a kid having twin firearms w/ unlimited ammo attached to their hands permanently than someone born w/a different skin color & cultural background

[Southern Inks @Southern_Inks]

@Nerdrotics Yeah, I’m gonna stick w/ a much better version of the character made back when companies actually cared

[Southern Inks @Southern_Inks]

@WingsOfFrdm I refuse to watch this dude. I try to avoid things I know are going to infuriate me, sometimes I fail, but I try to go by the words of the great Dr. Seuss on this one.
