Oh no, I've seen how hard that Comics dick gets ridden too. I lost all hope in common sense prevailing when it became some "(ficitional) real guy vs (ficitional) fictional guy" bullshit.
I know that you and Ech could come in and talk Goku and I might actually leave having learned something, but go look at most Goku matches. They are squashes. It's "SSJ OMG IT KMHAMHA SB GG". Kirby got by last year and Sue almost got by this year because enough people could see that the same old Goku debates/posts weren't going to cut it.
And your thoughtful post would be buried under tons of posts like "Vader would just drop the Death Star on his head using the Force". I think Hulk/Juggs is boring because it's the same universe, and thus it's something that's been done to death before. There is a bit more to talk about with Stark and Samus. Iron Man has had a good couple of years of dick riding from the amount of exposure he's had. I'm curious to see how this rematch plays out on the boards.
I'll point out here that there really needed to be a "Mecha/Robot/Armor/Cyborg" division.

The Storm/Vader thread irked me. Not because I did not think that Storm could beat Vader but due to the assumption that "Storm wins because she can use lightning and that is Vader's weakness," conveniently overlooking that lightning would do no more damage to Vader than it would to virtually everyone else.
I also have a hard time with those Marvel fans who will bash Goku and anime in general for being overpowered and then have the bare-faced cheek to not talk about the Hulk in the same way. In the last decade or so, perhaps no comic book/anime figure has become so overpowered as the Hulk. He has gone from a powerful but largely uncontrollable force to standing toe to toe with virtually god-like beings.

Are you trying to tell me that it was not my "Death of a Thousand Cuts/Sand in the eyes/Force trip" arguments that won Vader the title last year?
You wound me, Gordi. You wound me.
I can see both Jose's and Barbosa's perspectives. On the one hand I'm happy that nobody rode a wave of blind fanboy support to the finals. On the other hand both finals are contested by similar opponents: Hulk and Juggernaut are both tanks, and Iron Man and Samus are both techies inside extremely advanced suits of armor.

That is absurd. Doesn't Storm herself make a joke about that in the first film? It's fucking lightning, people. Real lighting. It's not that Vader is super weak to it. Pretty much everything is super weak to it. Captain Marvel? That's a different story.
Iron Man
Deadpool
Hulk
Batman
Professor X
Those are the ones I find most guilty of the sin you have described, and in order. Batman is so low because Batman used to be pushed to the moon and back and people are kinda tired of him being there, much like Goku. Iron Man is still the bees knees to the Marvel boys, especially the ones who've only come into the fold because of the films. Deadpool over Hulk because Hulk has always been super powerful, and people like to forget you can just choke him out. Also, Deadpool gets high on lists because he's comedy back up. He's the Santino Marella of Marvel. X because any time there's a telepath involved people just forget that Charles would probably never do half the shit they say he would to just anyone. Also, you can just shoot the bald fucker. That always seems to work.
To be fair, I think I had disappeared by the time the finals were around.
I hang my head in shame.

I have definitely noticed a backlash against Batman and to be honest I am not all that surprised. That the basis of most of his supporter's arguments boiled down to "HE'S THE GODDAMN BATMAN!!" was going to get old pretty quickly, but it still did not die completely. There were some attempts to transfer that kind of backing to the Joker you know, because THE GODDAMN BATMAN has so much trouble with him, despite the tournament rules saying that he would have no planning time to put in place the elaborate schemes that are the real reason he is so successful. And even then, is he really all that successful?

Iron Man IS hard to beat. He's hardly one of my favorite characters, but his powers are there.
Deadpool should have jobbed to the Dragon. If it was a fight to death, then you'd have to give Deadpool the advantage, but I can GUARANTEE YOU that if Deadpool had to fight a dragon in the comics he'd get eaten before regrowing his limbs in the dragon's belly and cutting his way out from the inside.
Hulk... he's overpowered. A lot of the super powerful guys won't be in the tournament next year (should we have it), and Hulk is one of them. Luckily, there have always been plenty of other powerful people in this tournament, and Vader managed to beat him last year, so that's cool.
I think The Dark Knight was what really kick started a lot of the Batman fanboyism on the internet, and that was already complimented by a healthy dose of real Batman fans going nuts for the guy. It seems like that is finally starting to die down.
Professor X got taken down relatively early in the tournament last year. He makes for an interesting character, but his physical form is fragile. I'm of the opinion that he can probably take on most competitors until he gets to one that can resist his mind tricks, and when that happens he's fucked. That's why he went down to Vader last year.

I still find it odd that Goku keeps being nominated when none of the heroes of the HST have had representation since my BZ tournament. And they are less wanked than Goku.
And I think we should establish some sort of canon for the comic book characters being used. Some of their feats get really hazy.

True, it's easy to forget that Legion's thoughts are that of almost all Geth. Not just himself. Legion's relationship with Tali was fantastic and proves just how wrong the Catalyst is in ME3. EDI's relationship with Joker and just about everybody on the Normandy also proved that.
Yes, that's true as well. I'm glad that they made it a renegade action. I wonder just what happens if you don't press the left trigger at that moment. What Cerberus did at Sanctuary was unforgivable and after that point they and the Illusive Man were beyond redemption. BioWare fitted Henry Lawson into the game so well, it made sense that he was that much of a scumbag after hearing about him from Miranda.
But I'd still take him ahead of James if need be. The party in ME2 was amazing. You'd think that with that many characters BioWare surely would have a couple of duds, but no, they were all great.
Phantoms, Banshees then Ravagers are the worst to fight against for me. Multiple Ravagers always mean trouble, dodging their fire while fighting other enemies isn't easy. And as for Phantoms... well, let's just say that running is not a bad idea one bit.
I've always thought of ME2 as the best game, even after I completed ME3 for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it's surprisingly good multiplayer. Despite this lengthy conversation, I haven't asked a question that springs to the mind of every Mass Effect fan.
What did you think of the ending to Mass Effect 3?

That I don't know what you are talking about might have something do with it.
I get, though, that there are a lot more fun anime icons to use than Goku. Kenshiro I thought was a fine choice who was probably in the wrong bracket. Tenchi Masaki would be fun, if a bit potentially overpowered. Ryoko for sure.
The issue is that more than other medium, comics are printed for years and years and years and years and have to fill that all with something. So much more has to be written about them that powers and abilities change and evolve often. New powers and skills are constantly added that are never utilized or mentioned again. Weaknesses change or are dropped. Different writers take characters in different directions. One can pick and choose different aspects of a character from over time to create a "perfect version" with the strengths of all. Hulk is a pretty good example of that.

I've always been a guy who looks for positives in negative situations. Rose left to go back to Arizona earlier this week to start a new round of chemo, and when I go visit for her birthday next month I though about shaving my head, sort of a show of support. I'm not 100% sure since she loves my curly white guy 'fro, but if I do it I will totally buy a pork pie hat and walk around Tempe telling people I am the danger. I'll have someone film it so I can share with you fuckers.
I put this whole thing in Spoilers, Ming, as even a glance can destroy the game for someone.
I feel bad asking this, but who is Rose? Either way, you have my feels, comrade.
Not only are Legion's thoughts that of all Geth, but they show that the Geth are hardly these hard computing, heartless machines. Legion is constantly asking Shepard for advice because the 2,000+ Geth operating on his server cannot reach a consensus.
It's very tragic how wrong the Catalyst is about things. As I played through the Mass Effect series I realized that the ideology I wanted Shepard to take was one of giving everyone a chance. That meant destroying all forms of mind control and Reaper control, and giving Geth, Krogan, the Rachni, and all the galaxy's black sheep a chance for redemption.
Then you find out that the game was rigged from the start by someone who never counted on the uniting force that is Commander Shepard, and he holds all the cards. Every last one.
I'm pretty sure if you don't press the trigger Shepard just dodges the blade instead of breaking it and then he stabs him in the guts without saying a word. Still badass, not as fulfilling.
But that reminds me, on my first playthrough I didn't shoot The Illusive Man when the first renegade action was prompted, and he executed Anderson. I didn't make that mistake the second time around which allowed for one of the best scenes in the entire trilogy as Shepard and Anderson, humanity's two greatest heroes, sit side by side and look at the galaxy they saved together.
Absolutely beautiful.
We keep coming back to this point, but it's hard not to. Even the recurring non-party characters like Joker, EDI, Illusive Man, and Aria are all brilliantly done.
Clearly you didn't use the sniper rifle. Or maybe you did, but didn't get the most out of it. The sniper rifle will slow down time for a few seconds after you look through the scope, and that gives you plenty of time to score a headshot on a Phantom. I didn't find them to be too challenging when I had my handy dandy sniper rifle. I would imagine they would be absurdly difficult if you were rocking a shotgun, though. Good thing I decided to do my third play through as a Sentry on hardcore mode!
I forgot about Ravangers. To me they are more of a nuisance than anything else. They are easy to dodge attacks from, and if you find good cover against an army of Ravangers it's easy to pick them off from a distance and deal with their children later. However, if they're used to support Husks, Benshees, or Brutes, things that force you out from cover, they're going to pound away at your shield and health within seconds.
The only time I ever really struggled with Cerberus was in the mission at Grissom Academy after you save Jack and the kids and you fight your way to the shuttles. That was ROUGH.
I think it's important to let you know that I was never exposed to the original ending as I downloaded the extended cut right after my original play through.
I've seen all four of the endings and think they are all fantastic (I've only done two in the game, Destroy and Synthesis).
Destroy is, in my opinion, the best possible choice to make. The negatives are that it destroys the Geth and EDI, but it also removes the Reaper threat permanently. It's up to future generations of Humans, Salarians, Turians, Asari, Krogan, and so on not to make the same mistakes we did. They're given a second lease on life and it's up to them to keep the peace and not create a race of sentient machines with the sole duty of killing intelligent life. To me, Destroy is the existentialist ending to the Mass Effect series, so that fits right in with me.
Still, the complete annihilation of the Geth and EDI is quite depressing.
Synthesis is really the only "they all lived happily ever after" ending, but it feels empty. The idea of altering someone's DNA does not sit well with me at all, especially when you essentially turn everyone into a robot of sorts. It would be even more haunting if EDI explained the extent to which their genetics are altered. To they just have creepy green eyes, or do they have some sort of groupthink that suppresses individuality? In my opinion, Synthesis is a very Machiavellian ending.
Control was VERY tempting during my first play through. I have already explained my philosophy to you, and knowing that Shepard was highly unlikely to abuse his powers as controller of the Reapers, I put a great deal of consideration into going for it. But as I thought more about it I thought how much power corrupts. What if Earth is attacked by the Krogan, will he fly in the Reapers to defend Earth? What if Liara's Shadowbroker hub is besieged by an angry Bartarian pirate, would he drop an army of Cannibals on the ship to stop the attack?
Additionally, what if the Catalyst changes the rules again? What if the code is corrupted or changed or the Reapers develop the ability to rebel? I deemed keeping them in the galaxy was too dangerous, so I destroyed them.
Finally, you have the 4th ending, which ends in the annihilation of the galaxy as we know it. It's horribly depressing, but ends on a very hopeful and somewhat beautiful note of Liara describing to the species of the next cycle how to stop the Reapers, and judging by the Star Child's post-credit appearance, you have to believe that they did. It's their galaxy now, let's hope they can do better with it than we did.
All of them were unbelievably powerful, though, and all of them (except maybe the last one) had its very appealing pros and very scary cons.

Tenchi's an omnipotent if you use the OVA's. And Ryoko's close. We'd have to use the Universe versions.

At least with the Hulk, it is more of a linear development. Link is perhaps the worst culprit of all for "picking and choosing," given that people pick powers/weapons from several different incarnations who are not the same person. The Link who has access to the large array of masks does not have bomb arrows because they do not appear in the same game.

Stafford could play this week, & Smith is facing a Revis-less Jets D, not exactly a terrible match-up. I'm not thrilled with my QB situation in that league, at least not as thrilled as I would be if I knew Stafford was healthy & good to go this weekend.
I'm tempted to look around & see if I can put together a decent trade for another QB. Smith is a decent bye week guy, but I don't know if I really want rely on him fro more than a 1 or 2 games.

Mark Millar has been hired by 20th Century Fox as a "consultant" on there Marvel Comics properties, specifically their X-Men films (including Wolverine, & I assume Deadpool), & Fantastic Four.
