Adults struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life when the answer is obvious to the smallest child: because it’s not real. - Grant Morrison
Those instances were hilarious and wild, and when it happened seemed random, but then it all tied in. RULK 1-25 is a fun read, it was superheroes being stupid and goofy and I enjoyed it. Haven’t read the book since Loeb/McG got off it though
ALSO…
Hating on Jeph Loeb is crazy. He is what he is, you can’t hate him for fucking up a book more than you can hate a lion for biting your head off - that’s the nature of the beast. And Loeb is beastly. Blame the editors for the decision to let this guy on a book like Wolverine, blame them for green lighting this nonsense. Dude hasn’t written a comic that isn’t shit for like two decades…and no blame is given to the editors who decide to put him on your favourite books?
People hating on Liefeld for being terrible…but no one is questioning why he’s still being put on big books? Someone maybe should start questioning the big decisions behind the scenes that enable guys like Loeb to fuck up big characters and titles like Wolverine.
He reconned the ridiculous premise that Wolverine’s descended from wolves, but instead gives you this shit. Pick your poison. LOL
Can’t imagine people are still upset about Wolverine’s origin stuff…where were you for Origin? I bet some of you fuckers loved that shit. The first time Marvel opened the doors and started saying it was okay to tell these stories, THAT’S where the protesting should have started. When he got all his memories back in House of M, where were you guys then? This is just an extension of that, Wolverine’s history has been wide open to screw with for years now, this is nothing new.
First they came with Origin,
and you didn’t speak out because you thought it would be cool to read about Wolverine’s history as a sissy little orphan boy with allergies.
Then they came with House of M,
and you didn’t speak out because you thought it would be cool and believable that he suddenly remembered everything ever.
Then they came with Weapon X = Weapon 10,
and you didn’t speak out because WHOA it’s so cool that there’s so many more Weapon # dudes and hey, Fantomex!
Then they came with Romulus and the Lupine,
and you didn’t speak out presumably because you were pretty lazy at that point and had stopped caring.
Then they came with this garbage…
and there was no one left to speak.
The best course of action now is to stop caring. Like me, I don’t give a shit about anything comic book related now, and it has set me free. Just accept that every single franchise and every single character will eventually be fucked in the ass by some dippy wackhead writer. Separate your appreciation of the character from a continuity standpoint and appreciate the good stories that pop up. All this worrying about what’s what…that’s continuity porn.
People that are only into comics for continuity porn (and who get more excited reading Wiki histories of characters instead of the actual comics) love paying attention to like the three relevant panels of a story that mention some continuity point versus the actual stories themselves holistically…that’s why the industry’s the way it is now. Every big crossover…someone’s got to die or bang someone or come back from the dead…and that automatically makes it a good story, fuck actually having a good story.
Origin and House of M were boring and limited wolverine’s character 
and fuck continuity. makes comics so boring. shit needs to go back to being about AWESOME HEROES FIGHTING AWESME VILLAINS IN MARVELOUS COMBAT!
Come on. Hulked out Avengers. REALLY NOW. That was pretty damn stupid. I just don’t like making characters too damn strong because at that point I have to pretty much start ignoring how silly things are. Like Ichigo in Bleach and Baki in his own series. And then you got this current arc with Hulk rematching Wolverine(that’s a 10-0 matchup right there stay free) and the Thing(who can’t possibly be a threat anymore).
And just because something is not real doesn’t excuse it for being stupid.
On paper, sure, Chael maybe lower ranked than Hendo. But they said a lot of what you’re saying about Sonnel a long time ago too.
He doesn’t have Dan’s power. He’s not as good of a wrestler as Travis Lutter. He doesn’t have Patrick Cote’s or Nate Marquardt’s standup. He doesn’t have Thales Leites’ or Demain Maia’s ground games.
How come he was able to give Silva a better fight than all of those guys combined, two times?
How come Silva beat the shit out of Dan Henderon previously…but was on his back for like six out of the seven rounds he had against Chael?
I’m not saying Sonnen is a better opponent overall than Henderson, at this stage of their careers, in this weightclass, against Jones.
But saying Sonnen is an automatic win compared to Henderson, when he’s a completely different fighter with a completely different strategy that you’re asking Jones to suddenly shift to like two weeks out…that’s less than accurate.
what does continuity do for comics besides turn it into some loser nerd-circle jerk over wether imaginary made-up character A really did this or that or wether it was retconned? ol yu-gi-oh card playing in lunchtime motherfuckers.
superheroes fucking suck when you take them too seriously
so then dont read it? I thought it was awesome (mcg drew them cool looking) and tongue-in-cheek
SUPERHEROES ARE SILLY. why are you complaining when silly things happen?
So you read comics because you think all of it is straight goofy silly shit to laugh at? How do you keep a straight face in MVC2?
Aren’t you guys a little old to be reading comic books?
not all of it, but I’m not angered or bothered when silly things happen
and Mvc2 is hilarious
^I just want to see a thick, creole chick do cosplay as Gambit.
other than that:

shit just got real at 26 minute mark.
I’ve been looking into building a forge. Thing is, I’m renting this house, so I wonder what the landlord would say when he came by and I had a 3500 degree fire going in the back yard. He freaked out last time because I only had half the back lawn mowed. :tup:
LOL, you bring up Silva losing to Hendo in the first round like it’s in support of Hendo, and then completely gloss over the fact that Silva would have lost 5 out of 5 rounds against Chael in fight one, and also that he lost the first round against Chael again in the exact same way in fight two.
You keep giving reasons and reasons on paper why a fight went one way or a fight would go one way…but none of that matters. These are the exact same things everyone said about Sonnen heading into the first fight against Silva…and look how that turned out. That’s why they play the games, it’s not a pen and paper exercise of who would win.
I know Hendo’s higher ranked, I know on paper that Jones might be even more successful against Chael on paper, everyone knows that.
Jones/Greg Jackson are worried that Chael’s a different guy, requires different preparation than if they were fighting Dan Henderson. Period. Maybe an easier opponent, but it doesn’t matter - he’s different, period. That’s a completely fair position to take. He’s under no obligation to put his belt on the line against a brand new guy with only two weeks to go.
You keep saying he’s passing up free money, but imagine if he loses. He’s got more to lose than he has to gain in fighting Chael.
We’d all like to see him do it, but in matching up against Machida now will probably net him more total money, considering the risk he faces if he was upset by Sonnen.
Dana’s probably rubbing his greasy mitts together now imagining all the additional drama and PPVs this is going to buy when they roll out this storyline that Jones was ducking Chael. He’s ecstatic that Chael’s now a big name in light heavy now too, without even winning a match. Dana loves all this, don’t get it mixed.
@ Parminder discussion: perfect Casca. that’s why i cast her for my Showtime mini-series that will be Game of Thrones’s competition.
@ Natalie Imbruglia discussion: Identify was her best song. i bought Stigmata for that song (and Patricia Arquette). shoutouts to Billy Corgan
…
Yes.
is starting to get concerned

Going to agree on the underwear thing. Honestly, a chick wearing a corset bra, opera gloves, and garter held stockings is a thousand times hotter than nude, IMO.
One piece bathring suit > Bikini
Sundress > Short skirt
Boy shorts/panties that cover some of the ass > Thong
Knee High Socks > Bare legs
Paper Bag > Your face
I remember back when Wolverine was a somewhat antisocial but rather skilled fighter, with a good nose, and an unbreakable skeleton, and a healing factor.
Then he became MMA Ninja Samurai X, with a heart of gold.
And I was okay with this.
Then he became not only a leader, but one whom people who have known the belligerent, extremely foul tempered and short-sighted, 5’1", scrapper for years, willing accepted as a role model and moral visionary.
My soul died a little bit, that day.
I even threw up in my mouth, a little bit.
And now they want to try and sell me that he is secretly a genius?
Fuck you, present day Marvel writers.
Eat a gang of Wolverine’s murdered children’s baby dicks, and die, already.
They actually make me want Claremont back.
And I have met Claremont.

FUCKING THIS.
Competition swimsuits are especially hot. The way the slim down a woman’s figure and accentuate the area around the thighs and legs… it’s superb, really.
Holy fucking monkey hell. I went to look at apartments today. I called this one sketchy ass guy up named “Joe”. He never would tell me where the address was, and eventually said he’d come pick me and show me the place (I had mentioned where abouts I lived, and he was in the area). Warning bells SHOULD go off, but whatever. So on the drive there, his truck REEKS of weed. And he’s this old dude. Fortunately he’s a contracter so he had lots of tools I could bludgeon him to death with if I suspected a rape coming (I am so pretty).
We get to the place, and it’s in one of the fucking worst neighbourhoods in the city. Now I’m looking for the eject button on this dudes truck. Long story short, crackheads occupy every square inch of this building, he ‘politely’ informed me I could get a lady for 20 bucks outside (man that was mighty tempting though), and then proceeded to sell a half pound of weed to a guy.
Yeah, I’m gonna keep looking I think. And he wanted $550 a month for it, and I would still need utlities or cable or internet.
