Not sure why you guys would want to follow someone who barely posts, and in only one forum, but I don't judge.

You seem like a nice guy. There needs to be a bigger reason?

Guess not. Long as I'm making people smile and not annoying anyone...

Of all the comic book characters I've ever read about -and there are many- I don't think there are any as unlikeable and monodimensional as Hawkman.

Obviously, I am now putting thought into "How would I write All Star hawkman".

Have him spend three issues in mortal terror after discovering The French Microwave Cookbook? 

Not familiar with Hawkman, so how is he monodimensional and how would you fix him?

I'm still figuring out the fixes, but here are the problems:

- In terms of background, his issue is actually that he has too many dimensions. Hawkman has had his origin retconned dozens of times over the years. He's been an Egyptian Prince, an reincarnated Egyotologist, and a cop from an alien world of bird people. The problem is that rather than overwrite the character, DC decided that these are all in play at the same time, making him pretty horribly convoluted. And that's ignoring the times he hasn't been multiple people at once.

- In terms of personality, Hawkman is a dudebro. His solution to problems is straightforward- bash it with a mace. He's often painted as the "Token Conservative" to Green Arrows "Token Liberal", and like GA, he can pretty obnoxious.

Funnily enough,like Green Arrow, he's been massively overshadowed by his love interest. I would legitimately argue that my generation are more familiar with Hawkgirl and Black Canary than we are with those two jerks.

In the opening scene, where Cap kisses his muscles—does Bucky say "TOO SEXY" and crash the copter?

 

Never mind you don't need to answer that I'll just stick with my "TOO SEXY" headcanon kthnxbai.

I'm not a member of your generation, as far as I know, but I can confirm that I've heard of Hawkgirl and Black Canary. Never heard of Hawkman, and I only know of Green arrow because of the show.

Well, millennial? Mid-20's...

But yeah. Green Arrow has the advantage of being a character on the Justice League cartoon (as did Hawkgirl), but I feel like Black Canary has had the bigger comic push.

Honestly, I think of GA moreau "BlackCanary's Boyfriend" than the other way around. I do wonder how common that line of thought is...

Buffy: 

Witches in fairy tales can bless good girls with gems and curse bad girls with insects and snakes as a result of the words they say.

Witches in the Poterverse can turn into cats and torture people with a curse of pure pain. 

And after seeing Willow's spell send Buffy and Spike off gleefully planning their wedding, I've reached a conclusion: 

She is the most terrifying witch of them all.

Following is the replacement for friends here.  Of course I'm following you!  You were on my list of friends before.

Of course, I missed a bunch of people 'cause my friendslist got lost in the forum switchover.  Plz friend me.  I am so lonely.

Bahahahaha!

"Something Blue" is one of my favorite Buffy eps, right up there with "Doppelgangland"

I didn't catch the exact words but I think I'll stick to your headcanon too

also that last scene......totally could have been Cap and Bucky. Almost anyone is better than Sharon Carter.* :/

 

*as Caps love interest. She's great as a side character.

Just wait until you get to the episode "Tabula Rasa" (in season 6, I think). Much funny!

Also, how many TV shows include an episode called "Tabula Rasa"? I remember one on Stargate: Atlantis, and I have a feeling the "everybody loses their memory for an episode" schtick is pretty popular.

Urgh, yes.  Sharon was pretty much pointless in that movie, other than to give Cap an on-screen romance.

Frankly, I wonder if the character might not be better served moving to Agents of Shield. Yeah, that cast is getting pretty crowded, but it would let her be developed as a character in a way that the Cap films have singularly failed to do.

Also, can you imagine a time travel episode titled 'Agents Carter'? Because I can, and that would be great.

I think it's like mirror universes; it's fun to cut everything loose and play around for an episode or two.

I cannot believe The Economist asked this question.  Language warning, for those of you who'd like one.

There aren't exact years, but a millennial is someone born sometime between the 1980s and the early 2000s.

Wow. That... was really dumb of a headline. Perhaps the actual article is better because I've tended to like The Economist. But man...

It's almost as if millennials as a generation (which is under many definitions more expansive than baby boomers) don't have a lot of money yet. Or!

They realized diamonds are a TOTAL SCAM long ago and we are the first generation to say that crap is stupid and lab stuff is better.

[Mestiv he/him]

Diamonds are not even the nicest of stones. The ones that have some color are much better. I bought my finacee a ring with tanzanite and she loved it ^^ Diamonds are just well... boring I guess.

Exactly. And judging by what I've heard of the diamond industry, I wouldn't be enthusiastic supporting it, even if I could afford to. If my significant other proposed with something that meant a lot to both of us—for instance, if our first date had been to see Deadpool and they dressed up like Deadpool, got down on one knee and held up a chimichanga, I'd be stoked.

….there's that, too. Woohoo. A white, shiny rock. Heck, it's not even as interesting as other white, shiny rocks, like opal: 

Look at that. Look at all the pretty, shiny rainbow goodness.

Nah, I'd suggest we share it. Rotten chimichangas aren't that romantic.  

Or how about freshwater pearls? 

[Mestiv he/him]

I've never understood why people like pearls that much. They look ok, but how can they even try to challenge sapphires, emeralds and rubies... I openly admit that I really like shiny things
