Doesn't that treat the medium with a certain low regard? Yeah, there are certain tropes that we accept with comics, but it doesn't have to be that cornball.Wolter wrote:I have a "Comic Books get a pass" filter on my fakey dialogue detectors.Dr. Medulla wrote:That's something that pulls me out of the experience. For the same reason that the Silver Surfer never appealed to me. Kind of like what Harrison Ford told Lucas: "You can write this shit, George, but you can't say it."Wolter wrote: speaking in fakey highbrow language.

No, it means when there's a fucking dude with an enchanted hammer pounding his enemies into the ground with a mighty "THRAAAAAKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAADOOOOOOOOOOOOM!", my focus is not on the hokeyness of dialogue.Dr. Medulla wrote: Doesn't that treat the medium with a certain low regard?

He gets a pass on all things Norwegian, and a partial pass on all things Scandinavian. Just like you get a pass on all things related to getting your ass handed to you by Lincoln.Wolter wrote:He doesn't get a pass either.Dr. Medulla wrote:I'll defer to Esmark on this.

Oh, he gets a pass on Norwegian culture, but no one, not even King Haakon V, gets a pass on not digging Thor.Dr. Medulla wrote:He gets a pass on all things Norwegian, and a partial pass on all things Scandinavian.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Re: Flex and Wolter's Den of Nerdly Awesomeness
Leave it to the Canuck to question why something as flagrantly awesome as Thor is...awesome.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
