Daredevil v1 #169 by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson

I love this panel of Daredevil using his powers, trying to isolate a sound, his face dark in shadow but the effort still displayed.

This is absolutely amazingly heartwarming and great storytelling, I just had to share it.

Thor #31 Homage Variant Cover

As part of a series of homages to some classics I was asked to draw one of the all-time greatest comic covers ever made by the great Walter Simonson. So this, with my humblest of apologies to Walter, is what I came up with.

Drawn by me, coloured by Matt Wilson.

so tales from vandor establishes that THE kessel run is an ancient purrgil migration trail

[aspiringwarriorlibrarian]

So this means that Ezra could use directions from the purrgil to beat the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs and then rub it in Han’s face.

Disney isnt ruining Star Wars, its the god damn space whales.

[galacticnewsnetwork]

@dansparce I guess you didn’t know all the weird stuff that was already in Star Wars way before Disney. Here is a good video about few of them:

And your point is…what? I can’t find the purgill dumb because Legends was full of dumb shit also?

[galacticnewsnetwork]

Point is that space whales isn’t really anything new to Star Wars. Whole galaxy is full of dumb stuff already. So I don’t see why they would “ruin” Star Wars. I think also that space whales were dumb, but in some weird way I also think they are kinda interesting.

[zombiesnake57]

I like the whole Space Whales idea because it reminds me of the french comic Scourge of the Gods which was published in english by Marvel. Basically it’s the Romans versus the Huns in space and the Huns were using things that looked liked purgill to get through space quickly.

She-Ra isn’t for “you” (men)

The whole #SheRa “debate” has shown that male nerds are gonna try to gatekeep EVERYTHING women do, no matter what. The new She-Ra was made by women for young girls, but men are the ones freaking out.

Make no mistake, this is performative. This is intentional. This is to gatekeep.

EVERY time a new property comes out that isn’t directed at them, they freak out. They always target women because they can’t stand the idea that geek culture isn’t being filtered through their male fantasy nostalgic lenses. I’d wager 99% of them never WATCHED She-Ra originally.

This is just another example of men trying to control the conversation to keep it focused on themselves. Well, let me tell YOU that your “hot takes” about what She-Ra looks like are not welcome here. She’s not being made for YOU. Your opinion does not matter.

Deal with it.

–

Also… She-Ra and He-Man were always meant to be 16 years old, even in the original properties. The fact that you want a 16 year old girl to look like she stepped out of a Frank Frazetta painting is pretty disgusting if you ask me.

[zombiesnake57]

I had to re-blog this just to comment on it since “my opinion doesn’t matter” apparently. 

Firstly, we did watch. We watched He-Man, then when she came along we watched She-Ra too, which I guess nullifies your whole “new property” argument, but my “opinion” doesn’t matter so I can’t point out that fact. 

I also can’t point out the fact that had the author of this post actually bothered to do what they accuse men of not doing and WATCHED the series, they’d see Adam (He-Man, you know, She-Ra’s TWIN brother) celebrate his 18th birthday in the first season of his original show, and then would know that the twins celebrate their birthday together (which just happens to be Christmas) in the Christmas Special. That’s at least 19 and going from memory but there might have been more birthdays specific to the twins along the way, so they weren’t at any point 16 “always meant to be 16 years old, even in the original properties”.

Meanwhile, creators who work on this show say while She-Ra hasn’t been assigned a specific age (people just assign 15-16 based on her design) they state that they think of her more as 19-20. Which is why a lot of us who actually did grow up playing with She-Ra toys (and kept talking about her and making websites and demanding the series on DVD making her relevant enough for this reboot to even happen) wonder why such a drastic redesign is needed for a character that’s supposed to be the same age as the original cartoon.

And for those who claim it’s because she’s “meant for young girls”. Then you’re obviously not aware of the reason She-Ra was created in the first place: To service the large number of young female He-Man fans. And it was for kids, it even had a talking broom. No one freaked out about She-Ra in a skirt then.

Next time you want to rant on men trying to ruin or “gatekeep” things that are supposed to be “for you”, then check your social message at the door, actually do the work it takes to present an informed opinion and remember that when you storm of on your latest tirade against whatever us evil men are doing next and trying to ruin something else in the name of “feminism” and “equality” us men who’s opinions don’t matter will be remembering the fond memories and the actually valuable social lessons we learned from cartoons we watched at kids like She-Ra and we’ll continue to appreciate those things for what they are, because we at least know that She-Ra’s physical appearance in her original incarnation (that version you hate so much) was beautiful because it was an outward reflection of her inner character. Beauty isn’t synonymous with sex, but I don’t really expect Tumblr to understand the complexities of beauty and sexuality, it never has in the past.

This panel is indicative of this whole crazy issue where Merlin comes back from a 1000 year sleep to try to take over the US. He reveals he’s no magician at all but actually a mutant, hunts for JFK who was the president (shown in this panel) and fights Thor, who’s hammer for some reason is depicted with a long handle through this whole issue. It’s filled with a trip to Cape D’Or, a random bus saving at the beginning, cops who don’t believe he’s Merlin, the Washington momument turned into a javelin... This is a comic!
