In the reboot of Thor, Thor will be a woman!
Hanamichi Sakuragi replied to Fullbuster's topic in Marvel Media's Topics
The pre-52 Superman that you love so much is drastically different version of the character that existed before in Pre-Crisis continuity. The Nu52 version is actually much truer to the character than the Post-Crisis version, but I guess you wouldn't know that, since the version that you're familiar with is the version that was radically changed to less like how Superman was. -
In the reboot of Thor, Thor will be a woman!
Hanamichi Sakuragi replied to Fullbuster's topic in Marvel Media's Topics
After Flashpoint had rebooted the Universe, why would it have mattered if the Nu52 Superman was black or not? First off, hundreds of thousands of people didn't stop reading Spider-Man after One More Day. That's a huge exaggeration. Secondly, I never said all changes were good. One More Day doesn't work on any level, things like the new Thor, new Captain America, etc, do. By the way, the Peter/MJ relationship in itself was also a change in the status quo. Apparently, you are too, since you've said that your entire history of reading both companies is from 1988 onwards, after Marvel had made several changes to their characters, and DC had rebooted their Universe, doing away with decades of stories. The decline in comic sales has nothing to do with changes made to characters. In fact, big character changes tend to lead to a spike in sales. Case in point, Bucky's tenure as Captain America sold better on average than Steve's during Brubaker's run. Sales wise, more recent stories also sell better on average that paperbacks of old stories, and it isn't even a contest when it comes to single issue vs trade paperbacks in terms of sales. Go check the best selling trade paperbacks of 2014 per month, and tell me how the old classic stories ranked, and how the newer stories ranked. It's also once again hilarious that you point towards stories that featured characters that had undergone huge changes (The entire Death of Superman saga), and cite The Clone Saga as an example of a classic story, when it's the second worst thing to happen to Spider-Man after One More Day. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. "Most fans don't want change" "Now look at these stories with changes that sold like crazy" -

Yep, but still a Superman. Now keep in mind that I'm responding to guy that has said he would boycott comic book movies (alternate versions of characters) if they made such changes to characters. -

Hanamichi Sakuragi replied to Fullbuster's topic in Marvel Media's Topics
Which comics specifically? What issues? Just naming titles and heroes aren't going to cut it, when some of those heroes have two or more titles. So basically after both companies (especially DC) had characters undergo drastic changes. And here you are complaining about changes to characters. -

Hanamichi Sakuragi replied to Fullbuster's topic in Marvel Media's Topics
Always funny to see people decry changes to characters, after having seeing them praising other character deviations. By the way. What were the last DC and Marvel comics you actually read? This is all but guaranteed to increase sales. Whether it maintains new readership depends on what whether people like what they read. -

Hanamichi Sakuragi replied to Fullbuster's topic in Marvel Media's Topics
It would depend on the context, wouldn't it? The latest issue of Captain America also had Ian Rogers taking on some the Avengers, and he isn't a villain. Over in Fantastic Four, we've got Sue Storm taking on some of the Avengers, and she isn't a villain either. Fighting heroes doesn't necessarily mean someone's a villain, and this dates back all the way to the 60s. -

Hanamichi Sakuragi replied to Fullbuster's topic in Marvel Media's Topics
He's not even a villain. This is why people should read the material before dismissing it. And as I say this as someone that's not even all that impressed with Original Sin. -

Hanamichi Sakuragi replied to Fullbuster's topic in Marvel Media's Topics
No, he's still an Asgardian without it. This isn't the Donald Blake era, where Mjolnir was essential to maintaining Thor's powers. His durability, strength, stamina, and non-Mjolnir lightning powers are independent to the hammer. If you notice, Thor is still in space unaided, despite unable to wield his Mjolnir. Which is why this is taking it to another level. Having such information is an elevation of what's already been established about the character. This is not a case of Nick Fury knowing how to make anyone that was worthy into unworthy, it's specific to Thor, and we'll find out what it is in the new Thor series. -

Thor isn't depowered, he's become unworthy. Not quite the same thing, and him unable to to use the hammer when not worthy is completely consistent with the character. Not even the first time it's happened. And Nick Fury knowing such information is also consistent with that character. It's simply taking the standing of his information to the next level. Whether it's terrible or not will depend on what exactly it was that made Thor unworthy. -

films you love but everyone else hates
Hanamichi Sakuragi replied to Johnny Wiseau's topic in The Speakeasy
Not sure just how much people hate these movies, but I quite fond of Speed Racer and John Carter. Especially John Carter. Are these two really hated? I was under the impression that people loved Tropic Thunder. -
Films that have aged badly? (Humour, VFX, pop culture etc)

I'm like ten years younger than your wife, and I love Airplane! -

Not a fan of the character, but her new costume is much better in my opinion. -
Diversity in top films misrepresents U.S. population

Blind casting is the way to go. LOST did it quite a bit when it was on, and I don't get why more TV shows/Movies don't do it when race/gender isn't relevant to the character.
