JSA Storytime: Man-Thing

Good evening owls,

we still giant-size

I know this Brainy loses his clothes story but I forget when it's from--late Levitz?

...

Alright, Man-Sized Giant Thing.

So, I stopped playing and am not going back- just tell me, is Pet Avengers Cap Dinosaur called Great Satan Dinosaur.

sounds right

Hello, Storyteller.

Looks like the slave drivers finally let you off for a bit.

I don't know yet, but I'm still trying to recruit Speedball's cat

day off~~~

Uh. Like a year or so after the Legion of Super-Villains arc, I think.

free
FREE
FREE!!!!!

...

Burp

...

I conveniently had my Legion stack handy- It started in TLoSH 321.

hi user

You know what sucks a fat one? This year's Christmas special is probably going to put the focus on Harley again.

thank you user

also that's a good Halthread

Again with the Weight Gain thing.

Fuck, things sure were different back before everything was chemically designed to make you fat.

...

Man-Thong is mah jam

That reminds me, there was a thread about that Grant Morrison quote earlier, and I just can't help but wonder how the hell the GLC actually works with any kind of real support staff. Another reason why L.E.G.I.O.N is vastly superior, cause Vril actually knows how to run an organization properly.

>Man-Thong
Brandon please

...

>whoever or whatever knows pubes will burn at the touch of Man-Thong

...

I'd read that porn parody

>implying Man-Thing is enough of a ho to wear a thong
Doubtful.

have you seen dat ass

HI OP HI THREAD

I've seriously been looking for it for the past 30 minutes, thankfully user found it

DO NOT SLUTSHAME MAN-THONG

I love how it's all these animals and then just fucking Iron Man

>V. Schist

Well, not as good as F.A. Schist, but still a decent gag.

Tony is a filthy mutt.

...

Tony confirmed for furry.

>Stark

Alright! Time for Iron Man vs. Man-Thing

There's a dog in the suit, user.

...

Well now I look like a fool

No one cares what Tony's fursona is.

...

>slutshaming
Y'know, I never liked that term. Someone who sleeps around a lot is merely promiscuous, while the word 'slut' implies a certain level of scumminess or irresponsibility. There's nothing at all wrong with promiscuity, but when you're an idiot or an asshole about it, then yeah, you probably should be shamed until you you can get your act together and fuck responsibly.

Waifu Academy Hank Pym is so great

I guess the world is a slut then, cause we're all getting fucked irresponsibly

...

...

That's not consensual though, we're just too lazy to get them off of us

Man, John Buscema sure does draw ladies pretty.

that is the saddest Man-Thing face

Man-Thing can't even smile, yet I still want to protect its smile

last panel is primo reaction image

Oh, hey, look it's also Wolverine Debut Month.

When will people stop bullying Man-Thing. He just wants to swamp in peace.

Like this?

Did Shrek teach us nothing?!

...

Or the last panel just by itself is funny

Speaking of which, anyone else find it kind of fucked up that despite The Slap being this permanent scar that ruined Hank forever because everyone refuses to let it go, that this never once resulted in Jan, the victim of that infamous assault getting better treatment?

With how much that one event continues to sour Hank, Jan continues to be unfairly neglected. So the way I see it is this; either people can start showing Janet Van Dyne some love, or they can shut the fuck up about the slap already. Bunch of dumb, meme spewing hypocrites.

Bendis hated Jan so she got the awful treatment although not as bad as Wanda

He also clearly hated Tigra, who was written as a dumb, traitorous slut

>at least now we don't get Bendis F4

With or without the caption?

Janet doesn't deserve shit though, she's a manipulative, vindictive bitch. Even Gail Simone said Bendis was right to fridge her.

...

I really like that first panel.

>>at least now we don't get Bendis F4

Don't say that. That's how we get Lemire replaced on the Terrifics with Bendis.

I don't get that at all. Bendis makes no sense with which characters he hates, Jan especially. She rarely gets to do... anything, really, so what could she have possibly done to piss him off?

Weirdly I have no animus against Simone for that opinion, because it shows that she's human and has preferences like all of us instead of trying to pretend she likes a character who she doesn't just because the character is female

>That big central ad for HITLER, YES HITLER

Is this from April?

user, please.

I think she's gone back on that since then

booo

I don't blame her considering she'd definitely be crucified for it now.

Haven't been able to hang out for quite some time due to work. You guys STILL doing Man-Thing...

I like Simone, but she can be full of shit sometimes. Nobody has ever fucking bothered to even attempt to do anything interesting with Janet or write her to be likeable. Well, except Earth's Mightiest Heroes. So it's no fucking wonder she's not liked. Don't like that she's a bitch, stop writing as a bitch. It ain't fuckin' rocket science.

The past is still there though.

tbf no character is irreparable and killing in a shared universe is wasteful

but I won't pretend that's what Gail might have meant by changing her mind

Work has knocked me over so we've been slow

OP has also been severely overworked and we've been doing like 1 issue a night, 3 times a week.

>change this character's entire personality to a completely different one but still pretend she's the same character

the font here for the title is awesome

people do sometimes read more, or change POVs over time, but I've seen the obligatory go at liking someone so often from fandom, and it always shows

At least I haven't missed anything...

speaking of, off tomorrow, on Tuesday, late show (8ish) Wed/THurs

Some are irreparable though.

So fucking what? A character's past doesn't define them, it's the present that actually matters. Hypothetically, if I were writing a book featuring Emma Frost, you think I'd write her as a cold, manipulative piece of shit? Fuck no, that's why dislike her. If it were me, I'd have her realize "Oh shit, I'm an asshole.", and write her such that she stops being awful. But hey, that's me rubbing two brain cells together instead of intentionally pissing myself off.

Errors in the latest BC Bestsellers article:
>one retailer mistakedly thinks Mystik U as a Marvel book
>Matthew Snyder STILL does not know that Atomic Robo is published physically by IDW

...

So who didn't see this coming?

Oh no, the monster's loose! Where oh where is Tony Stark's bodyguard!

>keep the traits that make people hate this character
>wonder why people continue to hate her
WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO? I WAS PRESSING BUTTONS! ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK.

Yeah, if you're a lazy idiot.

>mistakedly thinks Mystik U as a Marvel book
Well, it is the most "x-men" thing I've read in years...

Agree to disagree then. The closest I can come is that most creators in the industry do not have the talent to convincingly fix many things.

I actually miss that bullshit with Tony and his 'bodyguard', it has a weird narrative charm

a lot of charm is also lost by "my suit just oozes out of my pores"

I was sayin' to a friend today that I can see Marvel actually pushing the reset button that Legacy seemed for a little bit like it meant to do but didn't, but only Al Ewing seems to have the elegant fix-it skills that Johns has in spades and they won't let him direct the show, I suspect

If you're not going to use their past and you plan on changing their personality then... why not create a new character?

Superman DIED for ours sins, you dick.

>Johns
>fix
>not ruin

he only ruined the Anti-Monitor, and that guy was a brainless monster thing anyway so it's not like it matters

He has ruined a lot of stuff, you brainlet enabler.

Well, he also wrecked Barry Allen pretty hard too, and with him, Flash as a franchise.

Naw, Johns has a tendency to try to put things back together--Robinson kicked off the JSA revamp after they'd been scattered and decimated by Zero Hour, but Johns kept it going, and pulled Hawkman out of the Hawksnarl. He brought back Mera, and kind of Shiera before that WTF ending to BD. GL:R brought back Hal but also tweaked Guy back to his previous non-half naked self, etc.

Teen Titans.

I'm plane phone posting!! Missed so much?

My friend Tony Stark! Is my favorite part of old avengers

Such as

modern decompression isn't willing to deal with the necessary shenanigans to get him in the suit, I think
