I still lay the blame with the sheep themselves. I'm one of 5 people who loved The Eternals film; there's no amount of online vitriol that can override my personal opinion. But I also like designer clothes, which is really bad I think! There are a lot of strong opinions about the purchase of...

I agree, other than not having respect for them because I don't care about what other people do for work if it isn't criminal. I've never understood the need for professional critics, either (influencers exist in the same vein to me); I find it odd that so many people will let someone else tell...

That's gorgeous. I'm good with the MAFEX or Figuarts (who can remember tbh) brown costume Wolverine but if I didn't have it, I'd pre-order this for sure.

I get that. Tacky is tacky no matter the hobby. I personally don't mind arrogance in a person if there's something behind it. I like seeing people who think highly of themselves, I guess because I don't enjoy the company of insecure people and find them more irritating than the arrogant.

You'd be comatose if I showed you how much I've spent on sunglasses and shoes. I don't have or want children, so that's how I justify it 😂

That's fair! It feels like a lot of projection towards people you don't actually know though. I have friends who are very much hypebeasts, because they can afford to be and because it's an aesthetic they like. They aren't trying to show off their wealth; the average person isn't paying enough...

Why does it bother you? Rich people have always worn rich people clothes.

It's safe to say you're not the target audience, and that's okay. Not everything is for everybody. I appreciate different aesthetics including hypebeast, so NYC is a visual treat in that regard because the looks are purposefully done and put together, even if not your personal taste. I have a...

Yeah, if it's giving purposeful dadcore and not "I don't have fashion sense."

You've earned a lifelong enemy.

X-Men Gold was tuh-herrible, but Matthew Rosenberg's run was even worse and happened around the same time so I think he takes the brunt of criticism that era gets.

Yes to Synch, I need Generation X and Krakoan X-Men versions

The braided head's likeness is way better than the long hair head.

First mistake was buying a Logan Paul figure.

This is where I always circle back to "because he's nuts." If you asked him, he'd probably tell you being Batman is a better option than using his wealth to fund social programs that would eliminate (most of) Gotham's crime, and he'd believe it.

The X-Men also play the No Good Billionaires trope straight. At any given time they're bankrolled by either Xavier or Emma Frost, both of whom are portrayed as deeply morally ambiguous at best.

This is why X-Men is the superior superhero franchise imo!!!!! Except Marvel Editorial's obsession with "persecuted minorities on the brink of genocide" stories for them. The end of Krakoa left a disgusting taste in my mouth because so many people (including creators and Editors) were very...

I think that's the beautiful thing about art; none of our interpretations are right or wrong. The same can be said for that list of creators, since characters like Batman have such expansive lore and nuances beyond the work of one or two creative teams. It's definitely about perspective. To me...

That's what I thought the whole point of the line was, I didn't realize it had a storyline. I ordered the suited dudes to use as goons for ML Kingpin.

Agree, but I'm not a big fan of the super rich white billionaire buys his way into superheroics trope. Batman works (for me) because Batman is clearly nuts. Lex Luthor feels way more realistic than Tony Stark, who gets played too straight as being A Super Cool Guy.

IMO that was one of Marvel's worst stories of the last 20 years. Other than the Phoenix 5 designs being cool (make them pls Hasbro), AvX wasted years of buildup re: Hope Summers' connection to the Phoenix/role as the Mutant Messiah just to shoehorn the Avengers into it, convolute the story, and...

Agreed. I'm tired of Marvel taking everything cool from every other corner of the MU and giving Iron Man a version of it. I'm surprised he hasn't been an avatar of the Phoenix yet but I'm sure that's coming.

I would buy Eye-Boy.

You're so right. I was friends with someone on a Buffy the Vampire Slayer message board who ended up getting a job at DST. He'd give me sneak peeks and let me help design some of the accessories. There's a Giles figure that comes with a "Demons & Dragons" book; I named it! I've tried to look him...

I would love Shi'Ar soldiers for the X-Men to beat up.
