What you fellas think? I'm pretty happy with them, though for the sake simply of imagery, I'm a bit upset Caps wings are gone.

America looks ok. Thor looks I'm a edgy teen. And the costume itself isn't SO bad, but the guy wearing it is a total sissy faggot

Thor looks cheap IMO.

I'm pretty happy with both the costumes, but I'm distracted by the poor Photoshopping of the guy's head onto Thor.

They're both just okay. I definitely like Captain America's more than Thor's though. We'll see what it looks like on the big screen.

Fixxxed

Captain America looks pretty cool, I think the simplicity of his costume is really fitting his vibe. Thor's is simple, but not in a good way. You'd expect the fucking god of lightning to have a bit more shine on it or something.

I don't know, I think Thor just looks too clean for some reason. I know it's ony a neater pristine version to show off, but I think it should be... I don't know, dirtier?

Yeah I think the guy wearing it is just a sissy.

Thor looks okay but Captain America looks pretty cool.

thor's is boring. it's not very iconic, and the details don't do anything for the eye.
it's too millennial in every sense that the original was not too 60's. and I miss the helmet. both these fools need wings on their heads.

Cap's costume looks awesome except the Human Torch is wearing it for some reason

Thor needs some sort of belt

Thor's costume is lame. They should have made him look like, you know, a Norse god. He should be wearing Viking armour.

I like Cap's costume for the most part, though I have to wonder what those hexagonal patches on his pants are for.

Thor definitely needs more detail and a helmet. Im pretty pleased with WWII Cap, i hope they give him a new suit for the Avengers flick though.

If you mean cheap, you mean "a photoshop mock-up"

I challenge you to a battle, I will use my THING feet and fist.

they used to show the 60's fantastic 4 sporadically on either nickelodeon or cartoon network
the only thing I remember about it was thing would sometimes be able to fly (whenever it would be inconvenient for the animators if he couldn't) and nobody on screen would notice or mention the rock man spontaneously floating upward.

I'm sure it'll look great in the movie but that photo looks like Power Rangers from here.

Quote from: Bitchfist;1759389Also I remember watching cartoons as a kid before fantastic four had the human torch, back when they had a robot.

A goddamn robot.

That's cuz they were worried kids would see the Human Torch and set themselves on fire

The Human Torch is a total flamer anyways.

I don't know what the story behind Thor's costume is going to be in the film but if it's supposed to be his proper Norse god armour then it's definitely way too bland. Also it's not very memorable. They need to put a lot more of a graphical spin on it.

Oh wait I know what it is. It's because his top goes over his trousers instead of being tucked in. That's totally modern fashion, not very classical at all. They need to give him a big leather belt, that would sort it out.

Hello Clarice.

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1768424Hello Clarice.

Hahaha

Is that Loki on the right?

Also, HELMEEEEEEEEET

also, also, realized I hasn't posted here before and +1 comment saying Captain America looks really awesome even without the wings on the head.

I thought the norse gods couldn't stand Loki, why would he be hanging out with them?

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1768503I thought the norse gods couldn't stand Loki, why would he be hanging out with them?

In Norse mythology, Loki was on okay terms with the gods, and was often described as one of them, until his hand in Baldr's death was found out.

Loki the Marvel Comics character was Odin's adopted son, but after he grew malicious and started committing crimes and plotting to rule Asgard he was exiled from Asgard.

So the context of this picture might be that they were standing together before Loki did whatever pissed off the other gods. It might also just be that the actors are posing for a picture in costume.

I always thought he was described as a giant, not a god.

Whatever it doesn't really matter.

Quote from: Marlin Clock;1768509I always thought he was described as a giant, not a god.

No he was a human shaped baby raised by giants and trolls and later found and adopted by odin

Is that real? I always liked the John Stewart Green Lantern, but maybe that's just 'cause I grew up with the Justice League show.

It seems like it will never be decided if Green Lantern will stay black or not :lantern:

He isn't powered by magic?
What's the giant lantern thing then?

And willpower.

alan is not tied to the gl corp at all, john is one-dimensional as fuck, and nobody's really mentioned hal but hal is also one-dimensional
and since I hate him as much as the current DC editorial staff loves him I'll also mention that hal is a racist, mass-murdering pedophile that should have stayed dead.
guy's okay. guy is, like... two-dimensional. but that's what we like about him.

kyle rayner is the best green lantern (of sector 2814)
he has some serious girlfriend-in-the-refrigerator syndrome but he had the only decent developmental characterization in the entire franchise up to and including his first run as Ion.

thanks for reading my post

um I think we're all forgetting about the best green lantern

Quote from: GET BACK TO WORK;1768770You're welcome. Also, I don't know a lot about Green Lantern obviously, I'm more of a marvel slut, but isn't all that mass-murdering you're talking about actually Parallax? And if so, wouldn't that mean that Kyle Rayner also is that mass-murdering asshole?

pft yeah about as much as spider-man never married mary jane and superman is a vegan
comic book editors are squabbling manchildren.

let me tell you something about retroactive continuity

in 1994, silver age b-lister hal jordan was selling like shit because he was a boring character and all his solo stories were garbage, so the DC editorial force-fed his boring ass through the 90's X-TREME machine and had his hometown of san diego coast city destroyed by D-list villains mongul and cyborg superman during the awful death/return of superman crossover. he tried to rebuild the city because sometimes the green lantern rings can seriously just do anything I guess, and the guardians of the galaxy (the little blue guys that run the green lantern corp) stopped him for no reason. so hal became a sadbrain, killed all those motherfuckers, killed sinestro, siphoned all the energy from the central power battery and nicknamed himself Parallax.
if this doesn't sound copacetic with the state of affairs as you're familiar with them, that's because it's not- stay with me.

DC's first follow-up to the seminal clusterfuck Crisis on Infinite Earths was a boring piece of shit called Zero Hour that didn't do anything except be boring and confusing, ruin Hawkman and the Legion of Superheroes continuity, and turn jordan from a run of the mill psychopath into an epic psychopath that tried to recreate the universe so that everything would be nice and happy and good. a;; the superheroes thought this would be just horrible so green arrow shot hal in the heart and killed him... kind of. later on Earth's sun was eaten by a sun-eater (yeah) and hal just kind of showed up and sacrificed himself to reignite it, long story short.

so
all of this was basically just not good storytelling. they were played off as natural character-driven consequences of events that just sort of happened, but it didn't really read that way, because even though hal was a racist pedophile, he was a superhero somewhat akin to superman and it was just not believable that even the deaths of everyone in his city would make him turn in his badge, let alone flip his shit and kill the entire green lantern corp and then start absorbing time or whatever the hell was going on in zero hour.

the upshot of all this was, though, was nothing I've mentioned was retroactive continuity- the past remained unchanged. things were, at the very least, chugging forward.
in the aftermath of zero hour, Spectre, who is one of DC's hand-of-God characters, was separated from his human host, Jim Corrigan, when corrigan ascended into heaven. this left the spectre in A Bit Of A State and he ended up being bonded (by Etrigan the rhyming demon, of all things) to a shitty grant morrison-created d-lister called Asmodel. a lot of shit happened, but basically Asmodel literally froze hell over and released its contents onto earth, and while this was being patched up, DC's version of the biblical archangel Michael directed a team of heroes (that tried and failed to call corrigan down from heaven) to purgatory, where "a soul seeking redemption" would help them out. blah blah blah, it ended up being Hal Jordan, he bonded with Spectre, and the two of them spent the next 5 years or so trying to reconcile the Spectre's job as God's supreme hand of vengeance with hal's desire to redeem himself for being a mass-murdering psychopath. this business (called Day of Judgement) was pretty cool, because it put a band-aid on the whole Emerald Twilight (the name of the story where hal killed everybody) / Zero Hour debacle without backpedalling too much, and it put an interesting story-telling spin on The Spectre, who wasn't allowed to be interesting in his usual way, because comics regulations made it hard for him to murder people, hand of God or not.
anyway, so after jordan had killed sinestro, but before he killed the guardians, the guardians freaked out and put all their power into a single power ring, which they gave to one of their number, Ganthet, who took it to Earth. ganthet basically just crash-landed and gave the ring to the first dude he saw, struggling freelance graphic artist and super nice guy Kyle Rayner. this.was.dope.as.fuck. Rayner, as an artist, gave dc's writers and artists an excuse to really go crazy with the ring constructions. when hal was the main dude, he basically just made giant green boxing gloves all the time. kyle made all kinds of crazy shit- sumo wrestlers, animals, historical figures- whatever. they had fun with it. also? kyle could effect That Which Is Yellow! kyle was also not just default Willingest and Bravest Man On Earth like hal was- he was just a kid, and over his run he grew into the role- instead of not having fear, he overcame his fears. he had the legacy of the green lantern corp to fit in to, and readers got to see him develop over the course of his solo series and morrison's excellent JLA run, experiencing tragedy, and dealing with the power he'd been granted, and trying to do the right thing and overcome his personal shortcomings. he was a relatable character in a long, developed arc.

if you're still with me, congratulations, and here's where things get stupid.
in 2004, dan didio and geoff johns decided that straightforward storytelling, character flaws, redemption and legacy were not adequate storytelling devices and it was time to bust out the big guns (retcons) and bring back the green lantern they remembered when they were little kids without acknowledging the forward progression from the previous decade in a story called Green Lantern: Rebirth.
in Rebirth ~it turned out~ there was nothing wrong with hal at all!!! after coast city was destroyed, in his distress his brain was taken over by A GIANT YELLOW SPACE BUG who was The Real Parallax All Along! (parallax is a fear elemental but I call it a space bug because it's stupid and I hate it) also, sinestro never died, what he saw hal kill was a hard light projection sinestro made of himself because he is wily as fuck. also hal never even grew old! that grey hair on his temples was also the space bug! also, kyle couldn't use his ring on the color yellow because of anything he did, it was because the space bug was responsible for the yellow weakness in the first place! dhurr dhuur I guess the stupid fucking space bug also reignited the sun and bonded with the spectre because that makes a whole lot of sense it was obviously because hal was such a swell guy the entire time!! nope no discontinuity at all between hal being so influenced that he'd murder the entire green lantern corp and being so uninfluenced that he'd sacrifice his own life in a bid for redemption.

so yeah this was just gay city and awful and I'm a edgy teen and so fucking stupid and just a total mess, but geoff johns is a good storyteller, so he managed to sell it pretty well, even if it was seriously only happening because dan didio is a big fat bald baby.

so, later, didio basically gave johns free reign to write all the stupid stories he thought would be cool when he was 14, one of which was Sinestro Starts Up His Own Yellow Lantern Corp and He Recruits The Fucking Anti-Monitor, Parallax, Superboy Prime, and Cyborg Superman And It's All Super Badass And Stuff.
in this story (and, just like rebirth, I enjoyed it on some level but anyway) it turns out Ion, who was previously a name kyle adopted when he absorbed the leftover energy from one of hal's fucked up murderous rampages that kyle gave up along with his extra powers to reignite the central power battery hal had absorbed and revive the guardians that hal had murdered, was actually A GIANT BLUE SPACE WHALE.
in a stunning allegory for the insane bullshit the DC editorial was pulling, sinestro used a machine and forcibly extracted ion from kyle and pounded parallax in its place. I can't even explain how stupid this is except to gesture wildly at it with my mouth agape. at this point, a possessed kyle murdered Jack T Chance and it was "revealed" that kyle's actually a d-bag that wants to be the only green lantern so he can be special.

so, no, basically.
in spite of the convoluted efforts of two douchebag manchildren with way too much editorial power, hal jordan killed literally infinity people, and kyle has "killed" (1) an unrepentant immortal supervillain that murdered his mother, and an f-list john ostrander character that was basically a neocon judge dredd.

Quote from: GET BACK TO WORK;1768852You're shittin' me.

kind of
it's actually a giant green space whale

Quote from: GET BACK TO WORK;1768872Also Hal would never kill infinite people because if he ever surpassed superman superman would fuck him up for daring to one-up him.

This raises an interesting question. Do Green Lantern rings work on Superman?

Slurpee I laughed when I saw how much you'd written.

That being said, I'll start reading it now

Update: The ways things were going I'm surprised it didn't end with it either all being a dream or being a drug trip or something

Quote from: GET BACK TO WORK;1768909He doesn't need one considering he just makes up a superpower whenever he needs one.

No, I mean can they hurt him?

they can do some damage, but Superman has some pretty obscene power creep. it's kind of a toss-up. depends on the writer, depends on the lantern, depends on the era. superboy prime and red son superman took on pretty much the entire corp by themselves and then some (commie supes said it was stupid to use a thought based weapon against somebody who moves faster than the speed of thought. but he was fighting only human lanterns, with human shortcomings. nothing like, say, sodam yat. or mogo. or even kilowog.) other times Hal or Kyle would be the only ones standing after something wiped the floor with the rest of the big 7 (batman, superman, wonder woman, martian manhunter, flash, aquaman), which implies they could at least go toe to toe with superman- I think at one point kyle heavily implied the ring could trigger thermonuclear explosions.
alan scott's ring is powered by magic, which is one of superman's weaknesses, so in most cases he could actually probably slap superman around like a bitch if he got the jump on him.

It's not down to thinking, really, it's just reaction. When a cheetah is running at sixty miles per hour it isn't like theres a cognitive process telling it where to step to avoid holes or bumps.

How does he avoid attacking his allies when he's moving at that kind of speed, then? Also, is he faster than the Flash? I forget if he's faster than the Flash.

EDIT: He isn't faster than the Flash. And I suppose he usually only uses super speed in bursts, moving in straight lines. For Superman, using super speed must be like firing a gun.

Can the Flash walk super fast or does he have to run? It seems like if he's that fast he should just be able to outwalk everyone.

Can flash get on the floor and roll around faster than everyone?

If the Flash runs super fast and then leaps can he leap like a billion miles?

Doc Samson said this about Quicksilver (fastest dude in Marvel): "imagine there's a long line at the post office so you go to use their automated machine. But the person in front of you can't figure out how it works. They're pressing the wrong buttons...reading the instructions out loud to themselves...hitting 'cancel' and starting all over again. While you know you could complete both their transaction and yours in under thirty seconds. That's what every moment of every day is like for Quicksilver. It's to his credit that he makes any effort to put up with us at all"
