I had no idea it actually stood for Hal's Emerald Advancement Team!

Shhhhh, don't bring them here.

― Huk-L, Friday, 24 September 2004 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Quick! Google-proof that text!

THEY'RE COMING!

― Matt Maxwell (Matt M.), Friday, 24 September 2004 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

We should build a force field over ILComics, like the one over Gorilla City, that keeps the outside world, and all their warring, o-u-t.

REMAIN CALM

EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL

PLEASE PROCEED TO THE DESIGNATED BOMB SHELTER IN AN ORDERLY FASHION

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING

Is the fact that I don't give a flying fuck about the Hal controversy indicative of my Marvel Comics zombieism?

Thou shalt not worship Kyle Rayner.

Yeah, like a test pilot is really relavent in the 21st Century. Why does DC hate change?

― RaynerRox, Friday, 24 September 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, if people were complaining because of Judd Winick and his Real World involvement, I would at least have context in terms of seeing why people would care. It's kind of like the whole Spider-clone nonsense or the Magneto/Joseph thing; IT'S NOT SACRELIGE IT'S A STORY SETTLE DOWN BEAVIS.

I think, more than anything, it was about the early days of the internet and the changing paradigms of fannitude.

― Huk-L, Friday, 24 September 2004 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Changing paradigms of fannitude?

There's something wrong with the above. Just can't put my finger on it...

― Matt Maxwell (Matt M.), Friday, 24 September 2004 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Whoops, that should be "changing diapers"

― Huk-L, Friday, 24 September 2004 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I hope those two posts up there are from you knuckleheads and not actual real-time g00gle arrivals, because I think I am now stricken with THE PHEAR.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 September 2004 17:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, 'fess up.

― Huk-L, Friday, 24 September 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

(they were both me)

― Huk-L, Friday, 24 September 2004 17:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't care either Dan, and I was reading lots of DC at the time (including Green Lantern). The only real problem with the Hal/Kyle transition, for my money, was that they went from a pretty good writer to not such a great one.

I can think of things that would piss me off if Marvel or DC did them to certain characters -- but I can't imagine reacting in any way stronger than just not reading the comic anymore, you know? But that might not be true -- the Swamp Thing stuff at the end of that series DID piss me off, maybe in part because I'd been reading the title for so long and had been such a fan. But I didn't form AHOY, the Alec Holland O...something Ysomething, or anything like that.

Seriously, though:

I'm reading that like the human scientist is all, "Okay, see, they could surround it by a force field only gorillas can see," and the gorilla is like, "Actually, I was going to go with OPERATION PINKY SWEAR and save my force-field dollars for PANTS."

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 24 September 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I've gotten plenty pissed off re: changes & storylines (see my kvetching about Millar's Spidey), but mostly because of seemingly inept execution or flagrant disregard of continuity & character elements in a continuity-sensitive context. Or they change the motherlovin' costume. Bastardos. But, yeah, activist action outside of pitching a mild nerd fit & spending my money somewhere else never occurred to me.

That said, some of the ancillary things H3@T's done (like bringing J0hn Br00me (sic?) to a con, & setting up this G!l Kane Scholarship fund) seem pretty nice & great. Of course, if the scholarship has to do w/ maintaining the legacy of GL & having to draw sketches for all H3@T members, then I reserve the right to reverse my stance.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 September 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

"Sorry, I can't go out to the pub tonight, guys -- I have to draw naked pictures of Katma Tui for my scholarship."

Apparantly, they frequently take comics to kids in hospitals, too, which is nice of them.

― Huk-L, Friday, 24 September 2004 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, if ILC had an excelsior thread.

Dude, you know they're only trying to recruit 'em while they're young.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 24 September 2004 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

See, I was gonna make that crack, but then I thought of the CHILDREN unlike some people here, JORDAN.

SHAME.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 September 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Besides, everybody knows that John Stewart is the only Green Lantern who matters, since he's on the cartoon (with a badass new look this season!).

― Huk-L, Friday, 24 September 2004 18:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, I propose we never start an Excelsior thread on ILC, as every thread is chockfull of laughs (& nuts) and choosing the best of the best is impossible and unnecessary.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 September 2004 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Now I want to start AHOY!

The part of Swamp Thing will be played this evening, with much yelling, by Richard Dreyfuss.

Holy crap.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 24 September 2004 18:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Shouldn't that be Gilbert Gottfreid instead?

― Matt Maxwell (Matt M.), Friday, 24 September 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Does he sign "Green River" to his deafmute daughter (played by Haylie Duff) at the end?
