Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I just re-watched and noticed Raven standing with her arms folded in the background when he's dancing with Nightwing and Starfire. Gave me a chuckle.

Apparently the really tan guy near the beginning is Rob Liefeld, who, from what I understand, is really great to the fans, even if he's a terrible artist.

The cosplayer must have been in nerd heaven shooting this one: Stan Lee, plus Deadpool's creator, plus his current writers all in the same video.

Yeah, I saw him signing at Comic-Con, and I was struck by how friendly and accommodating he was. People loved him, and he loved them back.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't get why accommodating==getting paid lots of money to draw. Surely he could go into nursing or something and be a superstar there instead....

Yeah.

Fully clothed female superheros finally look like they can fight crime in the winter.

Except for Wonder Woman, they all look great!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Rob Liefeld has far too extensive a history of douchebaggery (hitting employee Dan Fraga in front of his kid brother, his disparaging twitter comments about other comic writers and artists, the hissyfit he threw over Shatterstar, etc.) for me to give him credit for being nice to fans who are no doubt stroking his ego at convention booths.

Speaking of fighting crime in winter, you guys have seen Hanie Mohd's sweatered supers, right? There should be cosplayers under that tag too, which is supercute and flattering.

I just posted that link on another site, ita. Weird synchronicity.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I love those sweater supers!

And I really dig the cosplay trend of taking these forms of critique out onto the street and to the cons.

Also, the guy who did the objectified sexy poses Hawkeye, and the whole Rockabilly Batfam group.
