OOC: X-Men

[Arc da Rat]

meh....i still want to know who took the book, because i read in the thread that someone swiped it from him and disappeared...i had thought it was Dark Beast

As far as I read ... The only person that took something from you is Deadhand & that was yer tracker device ... But I can check again ...

 

[Arc da Rat]

Okies ... I have used the search engine, read the thread several times ...

Nobody took the book ...

Razor ~ either you want Wizzie to still have it or it is gonna be lost for now ...


-OR-

Like I said before a certain minion w/ a wise-ass mouth may have found it ... Read a pervious post of mine for who it maybe ... AB would know from the discription ...

 

[dragonrazor]

meh, i'll have to run through it later i guess

 

[Arc da Rat]

I been reading & reading the thread all night ... from the last time you mentioned the book (when Wiz put it in his harnes pack) ... There is no more mentioning of it ...

 

[dragonrazor]

someone must have editted then, because someone took the book from him last i checked

 

[Ithica]

I should have pointed it out but Wizard mentioned another X-Com link in the area so I figured you guys were coming to it.

LOL@Storm.

"Guys rescue me! Guys....?"

*static*

*sounds of Jubilee and Wraith having shadow sex*

I figure next step is insane killing spree with Storm yelling, "No work and all read makes Storm a dull girl!"

 

[dragonrazor]

either way, i'll have to have someone get Wizard's book back to him or something....either that or the wall of metal was a fluke caused by the infection

Arc... My bad it was Genosha. And the comic was Xmen Adventures #7.

Ithica, i did edit my post last night to have Gambit respond to ya. i realy wanted to do it originally but forgot. Sorry.

 

[Shaq]

That animated gambit from the video game is freaking cool JD.

I wish I could get Nate Grey from X-Men Legends 2 on the PSP on my sig

 

[Screech]

I got Deadpool on my desktop

Heh ... NP ...
Hey was Cable there as well ... I forget since it was so long ago since I have watched 90's x-Men cartoon & read the coresponding comic ...

I was waiting for anyone to hear Storm's call ... Considering Jub & Wraith don't have com units ...

 

[dragonrazor]

yes, Cable was, but he probably wouldn't remember it, since he changed the timeline by infecting Wolverine with Apocalypse's supervirus

Well that's the time paradox of time travel stories and one of the many reasons why I don't like them.


The first time they happened (Bishop's classic story, Also the identity of Cable) they were great. But now they are so weak and convoluted it is ridiculous.

Bishop changed time by preventing the X-Men traitor and he still remembers that.

Technically you would think if Bishop prevented the future in which he was born he never would have existed to change time in the first place. That is the inherent weakness of time travelling stories.

They are explained by the multiple universe thing but that gets so old.


If you take a character like X-Man, he left the AoA, went back to the AoA at an earlier part of its history and while there was told he would come back at an even earlier point later in his history all of which were integral to events that happen in the AoA and this would never occur cause his series was cancelled.

 

[dragonrazor]

time paradox sucks

 

[Arc da Rat]

Well the future is ever changing so there is no real set future time line ... Bishop came back in time after chasing Fitzroy (?) to prevent his time line from ever happening ... In doing so he became an anomaly ... Cable is another one ...

In Marvel it's very difficult to destroy a continuum, changes made in the past through time travel result in the creation of an alternate timeline. The future that Bishop hoped to recreate still exists, but he's created an alternate future with a different outcome.

Which is why I dislike it as a plot device.

It doesn't allow for finality. It is too convenient.

Apocalyptic world?

Just travel back in time and change it.

Late for work?

Travel....


Oh and we haven't forgotten you bunnies. After this sl we're probably going to do an X-Men reboot of some kind so when stuff gets set up you'll be able to create your own entry.

Your character kinda has an interesting backstory that probably needs to be explored so just saying you're a student probably wouldn't do you justice....hmm....

 

[dragonrazor]

it all confuses everyone

 

[Shaq]

it all confuses everyone

And at least Marvel only restricts messed up time travel stories to single characters.


DC has a crisis on endless realities or whatever every decade (if you count zero hour they average one universal continuity changing event every 7 years)

Superman from Earth 3 was killed?


OMG!!!!!!


What are they going to do?

Not like it matters since that's the Superman we read about


The Time travel stories are like that. Obviously the 616 verse, Ultimate verse and movie verse are the only ones the fans really care about. So a time travelling story always means the only ones who will really get damaged are goons we never even see on a month to month basis.

 

[dragonrazor]

Cable is a much better character than Bishop, but i like Bishop's mutant power

 

[Shaq]

I agree but Cable is too villain dependent.

Now that Apocalypse has been reduced to a weak villain (He gets killed every 3 years sadly) Cable just doesn't have his appeal.

I read he recently resurrected Apocalypse because he was so confident that heroes would be him again and it would make them stronger.

WTF???

Resurrecting a guy whose destroyed worlds?



Stupid Writers.

Bishop didn't have as big a rut after the x traitor was discovered. He became one of the less interesting X-Men yeah, but his prescense made sense and he did add to the team.

When they made him a cop though they were really unearthing the essence of his character.

In legends status cable is better but mostly cause who he is tied to.

Bishop stands on his own just as much as he is tied to the x traitor sl

 

[dragonrazor]

yeah, you have a point...actually, several <<

 

[Ithica]

Thank-you Jeremy.
I guess I'll skip the killing spree. I figured Storm could pick up a picket fence on her way to a school and make kidcabobs, bwahahahaha.
*coughs* maybe next time.

I get to post; I get to post.

Killing kids to make a story "dramatic" so we can "feel the loss" will be the next trend in comics which is why I find "civil war" laughable.


Yeah, a parents sees Galactus about to destroy the planet one morning and a dumbass hero makes a mistake and the heroes are the ones you get pissed at?


Right.

1000 kids die, yeah that's bad in OUR world, in there's that's just a low level Magneto attack.

 

[Ithica]

Going off on a tangent, Shaq?
