Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

[Con T.]

Wow, and you're how old, early 20s? I figured you'd have gotten into them the same way most of us did, which is, of course, X-Men the Animated Series. I loved that show, and after my parents got me a couple of episodes on VHS and a few action figures to play with while watching I became a fan for life. I still have some of my X-Men action figures scattered around my house.

Don't get me wrong, the animated series was brilliant; actually, most of the series churned out for the WB were pretty badass at that point. For some reason, I couldn't help but enjoy the Rouge-Gambit relationship

You do love Cyclops! Awesome. You'll find that this forum is pretty divided over Cyclops' awesomeness. It's pretty much Shocky and me vs. the world, but glad to have you on board.

What could people possibly have against him?

Beast and Bishop are awesome too. I think my top 5 X-Men would have to be...

Cable
Gambit
Archangel
Cyclops
Beast

Very solid top 5, I say.

I also really enjoyed X-Men Evolution. Pretty damn great series

The Rogue/Gambit relationship was great, Storm saying awesome stuff before using her powers was great, Beast quoting great authors and thinkers that the majority of the show's audience had never heard of was great... that show was just fantastic.

Though I'm not sure if that was WB. I think WB did most of the DC stuff and the Marvel cartoons were on Fox.

What could people possibly have against him?

He's kind of a hard ass, and I think the fact that he's right 100% of the time wears thin on them.

I also really enjoyed X-Men Evolution. Pretty damn great series

Evolution was okay. Not as good as TAS, but very enjoyable. I tried to watch Wolverine and the X-Men recently, but I wasn't a big fan of that. There's an Avengers cartoon out now that I don't keep up with, but when I watch it I'm surprised by how good it is.

Shit with all this talk about X-Men, I may need to skip my Wednesday ritual of Psych before bed and just watch X-Men instead. Decisions, decisions.

Watch the new episode of Psych! I've got two hours until it starts on my end.

Or you could just watch the old cartoon online.

Been a while.....just a few things:


Cyclops is a badass despite people claiming he is a bitch. I assume they are all jealous because they dont have powers or get to bang Jean Grey.


Iron Man 3 was good, not great. Great would have been:

Spoiler

IF WE ACTUALLY GOT TO SEE THE MANDARIN KICK ASS AND USE HIS RINGS NOT JUST HAVE HIM BE A HOMELESS DRUGGIE ACTOR. not a knock on Kinglsey because he owned that scene.

I moved and remember why I hate moving.


Mexicans will take your money, run and then run again when you find them. Not too wise to go right back to the first place I saw you, dumbass.


My ex working with me has been quite pleasant, way different situation than I anticipated. Dare I say, even enjoyable.


I started writing RP's to nail down my comedic character. Oddly enough it spawned the idea to awaken someone you all shall meet soon enough. WZCW has been put on notice...... your nightmare has just begun.

What could people possibly have against him?

He comes off as a bit of a bitch in the movies.

Though I'm not sure if that was WB. I think WB did most of the DC stuff and the Marvel cartoons were on Fox.

This is correct, it was on Fox. This and Spiderman, another awesome 90's cartoon.

Watch X-Men. Psych will be available On Demand so you won't end up missing it

Or you could just watch the old cartoon online.

Or you can watch the 90's cartoon online with funny dubbing.

Last I checked the whole thing was on Netflix.

You're a bad influence.

Been a while.....just a few things:

Jeeze, it has been a while. I'll chalk it up to the fact that you moved.

Cyclops is a badass despite people claiming he is a bitch. I assume they are all jealous because they dont have powers or get to bang Jean Grey.

You're on Team Cyclops too? Awesome.

Iron Man 3 was good, not great. Great would have been:

At first I was a little pissed about that, but I grew to accept it when Kingsley just nailed the shit out of the role. Besides, Guy Pearce was enough of a villain for both of them.

I don't look forward to moving. Luckily, I'm at the point in my life where I don't really have anything I can't move myself.

My ex working with me has been quite pleasant, way different situation than I anticipated. Dare I say, even enjoyable.

I wouldn't let your wife know you feel that way.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of Saboteur being awesome.

 

[Bernkastel]

Netflix is limited, so that's why I watch pretty much everything online.

 

[GI Cake]

The Animated Series in its entirety is on Netflix. When I was house sitting for my Grandma I think I spent a whole day watching each episode back to back. Fantastic show.

Oh hey, a Fave Five list

Iceman
Gambit
Storm
Rogue
Cyclops

 

[justinsayne]

Current fave five

1-Iceman
2-Angel
3-Beast
4-Quintin Quire
5-Psylocke

 

[Richard Blonoff]

J, what are your opinions on the other Summers brothers?

 

[JGlass]

J, what are your opinions on the other Summers brothers?

Havok has had the unenviable task of living up to his brother his entire life, and I think that's what has caused a lot of the anger in him. He clearly has just as much good in his heart as Cyclops, but he clearly has different ideas of how to achieve his goals than Cyclops, and I think a lot of his anger stems from him hating how similar he is to Cyclops.

Still, you gotta give the guy props for striking out on his own and saving the universe in his own way. He definitely has leadership ability, but I think he suffers the same flaw that Wolverine does that prevents them from being as effective a leader as Cyclops was: he's unable to completely separate themselves from any situation emotionally.

He's also nailing Polaris last I checked, which is good for him.

Vulcan is just an asshole. I also don't understand why he's so powerful when Havok and Cyclops have a relatively normal power level, though supposedly neither of them ever gives all they can. I hope he stays dead as he further complicates the already complex dynamic of the Summers family.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

*Psssst*, someone talk about The Hulk so I can talk comics?

 

[JGlass]

All I wanted to do tonight is eat leftover baked ziti for dinner, read Lethal Lottery, and watch The Office series finale, but NO. Instead I have to go to Baltimore to help my sister move out of her dorm because apparently she can't do it herself. She got all that shit down there by herself, shoot!

 

[Mitch Henessey]

I took in a midnight showing of The Great Gatsby last night. Amazing 3D effects, Leo is outstanding, but overall, it's a bad case of style over substance.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I actually don't really like the X-Men; comics, cartoons, movies or otherwise. There are, of course, exceptions.

I genuinely don't, Quentin. I genuinely don't.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

J, congratulations.

Spoiler

definately agree. plus he kind of did what I expected Mandarin to do in how he dismantled the armor with his hands. just really wanted to see the rings

I wouldn't let your wife know you feel that way.

she cant hear you she isnt here. we split.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of Saboteur being awesome.

You are safe, for now or at least until you pose a threat. Until then, please sit back and enjoy the carnage.

 

[Blue Chipper]

I'm thinking about watching a fairly recent zombie movie. Any suggestions?

Edit: is the Dawn of the Dead remake good?

 

[Theo Mays]

My stupid DVR cancelled my recordings again so I have to wait for The Office to get On Demand. So yeah, bored out of my mind and I'm all alone. C'mon son.

Warm Bodies. It's an enjoyable horror comedy, but I was hoping for more of John Malkovich. You could also give the [REC] films a try, but I'd skip over the third one. And although I think it's horribly overrated, Zombieland is worth a watch.

28 Days Later is a must-see, if you haven't already. Unfortunately, 28 Weeks Later is mediocre at best.

Edit: is the Dawn of the Dead remake good?

It's a solid remake, and of course the violence and gory stuff is more intense and nasty.

I have the power to spoil the fuck out of this finale. Oooooh boy.

Thanks for the recommendations, Mitch. Some of these I've seen, but I'll definitely give Warm Bodies a watch. I might watch the Dawn of the Dead remake too.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Go watch Rec, warm bodies is funny, But Rec, along with Return of the living dead are the only zombie movies, shit even horror flicks that scared me. I've watched Rec twice now, and its still a pretty fucked up movie. But i've never woke up out of a dead sleep, like I did after watching Return of the living dead. Its not really the whole zombie thing. Its just the tar man, and what he says. I had a nightmare and woke up just drenched in sweat, and puked. This was like last year too.
