Reality Ensues Thread

that only works if the item goes forward in time, if you go backwards then presumably you keep your current momentum and get flung FURTHER away from the earths location.

cant wait until some space explorer finds where the earth was in WW2 and finds the corpses of all the time travelers with anti hitler gear stuck in space.

those threads are so embarassing. Really push the "what if fantasywas real dude LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" normie mentality.

Is that why we're not buried in time travelers? Because everyone who has tried it has died in deep space?

I'm not the only one who finds this kind of thing to often be incredibly lame right?

It always bothers me when someone does a backflip and dodges a bunch of bullets or lasers or whatever. Even if you have good reflexes, once you commit to a jump like that it's only luck that prevents things for hitting you. I think most people have certain things they can't suspend disbelief for, even if it's relatively small like this.

first of all, fuck off cunt
second, its not actually that common, and i think op was asking for examples of it in stuff where its unexpected for there to be realistic results, its no fun if in a story set in the real world something realistic happens, but if a new episode, or comic came out, and half way through something realistic actually happened, like someone trying to dodge a bullet, or limbo under a laser, but instead of having it work like evry other time in that universe, it suddenly ended with a bullet to the kidney or an alarm going off it would be a nice upset to the status quo
like if there was an episode of tom and jerry, and instead of a hit on the head leading to a large bump, it ended with brain damage and a whole lot of sadness, that would be weird.

that, or maybe hitler was just REALLY good at fighting time travellers.

Only the further you travel in time. But the gravity of the earth captures you. Just like you can jump but always will land the same place you jumped from. Or that momentum in a train where you can jump and still land the same place.

Too bad Dr Mcninja had a poor ending.

You could see he was rushing to tie up all possible 'loose ends' of the series as fast as possible no matter how contrived it ended up.

wait, is that done by the "Two Guys and Guy" artist?

If you're invoking relativity for this, you should be aware that in General Relativity, there is no universal "at rest" or "in motion". There are inertial and non-inertial reference frames though. If a time machine follows an inertial path through time, its movements would follow an orbit that passes near the center of the Earth and peaks at the surface (with some variation depending on the elevation at the departure point). But time travel in General Relativity is just an exotic form of space travel. There wouldn't be any uncertainty about where you're going, and something capable of traveling narratively-useful distances in time would be capable if interstellar travel.

The last one's out of focus to induce boredom right at the end. That's how addicted thou art to the failure ofnothers. Aw, why didn't they finnish, they just didn't have it in them. If only they had stuck it out for a little longer.

>Yeah! It was the obsessive, obese, loser nerd fans who wanted MJ gone!

JoeQ was pretty fat, and obsessive about his vision of Spider-Man.

I still liked it though. I feel like he had that epilogue planned for a long while.

The first episode of the Tick showed that scene well.

like most things it depends on the execution, like if you habe someone try to tackle a door open or a wall down and you have them fail, it’d be funnier to have the character bounce backwards or the camera go to the other side of the wall/door to have it rumble from the force than it is to show them crashing into it, reeling back in pain and then letting out a ‘Wow, that’s sure wasn’t like in the movies at all’

>Is that why we're not buried in time travelers? Because everyone who has tried it has died in deep space?

Still i believe that a time machine might follow the gravity and original starting point. Maybe if you use a time machine in space you will stand still.

>Flomps 3 times and not once

The story of Adolf hitler is the story of a man slowly going insane as strange people in even stranger clothes and tongues attempt to murder him in the name of victims.

No wonder he was on so many drugs.

I don't know anyone that would be stupid enough to suggest that, it's superhero schlock like anything else. I mean hate the idea of 10-year-olds like Hit-Girl or Damian punching and throwing around thugs built like quarterbacks like they're tinker toys, but a lethal weapon like a sword or gun tend to be great equalizers.

She's dual wielding blades that aren't much shorter than she is.

A gun, absolutely. A sword, that depends on the size of the kid. Unless it's stabbing, the kid is going to have a hell of a difficult time wielding a katana, broadsword or zweihander properly.

I'm not saying she should be super skilled, just that a stab or slash to the throat with a sword or knife would end your life just as well as a grown man wielding one.

Fucking kek this one got me

Not really. A kid would need to train like hell to have the proper strength to wield a large blade. A gladius, hunting knife or tonto, now that a kid could wield with relative ease.
Hit Girl wields dual katanas and looks like a stick figure and slices through guys as if she was 6' tall.

Where is this from

Hephaestus. Dionysus.

Didn't Hephaestus get dicked over by the other gods for introducing humans to fire?

You largely overestimate how hard it is to simply push a blade into someone's throat or how heavy blades are. Her wielding blades anywhere near as skillfully as she does is unrealistic as hell, the damage of what the blades are capable of doing aren't.

She wouldn't need much strength to pick up the blade and shove it into someone's gut or throat, but she would need the strength to keep it steady and lifted and aim it properly. One also needs to keep in mind that one wouldn't just stand and get stabbed, but instinctively try to either move out of the way or use their hands to move the blade.
So while a child could, in theory, stab a person with a large sword, the ease with which they could do that to someone who is used to fighting is not great.

Wasn’t that Prometheus?

I can't remember. I was never interested in Greek mythology enough to memorize which god did what beyond some very general knowledge.

what is inertia?

Prometheus, Hephaestus was the god of fire and smithing, and really fucking ugly on top of that.

Yes.

He was ugly because his mother, Hera, through him down Mount Olympus when he was a baby.

Honestly, i would call it more realistic in terms of sci-fi. Kick-ass and Hit Girl always was more you action-martial art movie realistic. Its like Kill Bill or Crank or James Bond realistic.

Imagine if MJ died and Peter eventually married Carlie Cooper, I imagine that’s how people felt about MJ marrying Peter.

It was Prometheus, and another example of why the Greek Gods are scum that any actual hero would be tearing down.

Wait this isn't realistic at all. The ground already supports the weight of the robot. The weight of the robot while the hulk is lifting it is almost exactly the same.

Prometheus tho.

But the weight of the robot is spread out over it's wide feet. All that weight focused into a smaller point, like the hulk's feet, might achieve that result.

This strip does have a point though, I hate it when there's a bajillion of references to everything in lieu of actual plot.

Hard to do that without art. I have a fine-motor deficiency; artwork is beyond me.

Florida has a hero

He was a Titan, not an Olympian.

Yeah you’d never want a accurate Greek team of God’s they’d either not give a fuck or just fuck you up

Maybe literally

That sucks man. Have you tried finding an artist?

The idea that Florida-Man would be a runner-up hero in the STATE of FLORIDA just makes it better.

I wouldn't even know where to start. Do people still use DeviantArt? Where do you go for artists?

I think I remember reading somewhere that Florida has broader FOIA laws than other states, so it's easier for journalists to get a hold of police reports and the like. It's not so much the content of the articles as it is their frequency. Crazy shit like this happens everywhere, it's just not reported on nearly as often as it is in Florida.

Given the size of the blades in relation to her body, it's possible that those are not full sized katanas. They also don't look like they have the width of a proper sword either. So it's probably not a katana but a wakizashi. However it's not curved either, so for all we know it could be a custom job made out of materials that weight less.
I mean they finance themselves by selling 1930s Superman comics and they have a jetpack, so by that logic it wouldn't be a stretch if she used a lightweight carbon fiber sword.

If anything, I'm impressed that the artist remembered that she holds the left sword backwards, for the entire action sequence. It sounds like a minor thing when spelled out, but paying attention to this in a modern comic book is, sadly, extremely rare.

Learn how bearing pressure works.
Try walking around in the dirt on stiletto heels.
Think about why snowshoes work.

Actually it is because Bulk is trying to push against the robot and the robot is resisting and wouldn't need to match the force thanks to gravity and his wider mass.
There is a old physicists saying about this:

"whether the rock hits the glass or the glass hits the rock you're not hurting the rock"

That's not what is making him sink however, by your logic, you could never be used to put a large post in the ground because the earth is supporting you and the post already

No retard. The ground is too weak to support Bulk's footprint in addition to the mass he is trying to lift. Even with the strength to lift it, all he will do is push himself into the dirt. Have you ever tried to jack a car in a muddy driveway? It's exactly that.

I thought that was what I was saying. Sorry.

He's like a god when he does that.

Now try jacking up that same car on cement, which Bulk is standing on.

I honest to god have no clue. I'm not a very social person so I don't know how a writer would go about finding an artist.

No problem, pale-face.

That tournament arc just would not fucking end. I get the feeling ONE likes to create these superheroes but doesn't know what to do with them unless they are god-tier powerful.

I literally cannot draw a straight line without a ruler. My handwriting is better, approaching legible, but that's after years of practice and writing slowly. I've taken art classes and it's just not going to happen; I don't have the hands, or the brain, for anything approaching commercial quality artwork.

Hey, that's okay. I wish you the best of luck with your projects!

Thats not a problem at all though. Murata's art is definitely a draw so there isn't an issue with expanding shit that was a page or two into more

Shit animation in general turns a few panels into episode long fights and shit

Exactly. I try to tell people in other states this, and they accuse me of just making excuses. You'd be horrified how many cases of dog-fucking are simply reported as "animal abuse" in other states.

I've grown so sick of the existence of dedicated 'jobber' characters.

So having 99% of a superhero setting be explicitly them is boring.

Pardon me, but the correct term is white devil.
Thanks, man. I hope you find an artist to make Florida-Man come to life. Your best bets for a publisher would probably be Image or Aftershock.
Amen to that.

>characters without super strength can jumping and swinging around without injury and running out of rope

Considering causing many people to die in war and strife is Odin's main characterization, I think the group might just be a supervillain group.

I don't remember the tournament being that long but I don't want to look it up. And I like how ONE has been setting up the heros. He had an entire chapter of the lower ranking heros banding together and fighting monsters to show how skilled they are, had them run into a monster none of them could beat, have that same monster get one shot to show how strong the S-rank heros are so that the next part when the S-Rank heros are getting the shit beat outta them we can see how strong those monsters are

Its a good way of showing power levels besides just saying X is stronger than Y like some shows do despite X being more menacing

Maybe it's because I was waiting for each new chapter's release, but it felt like everything took an eternity to get over with. Because of that, most of the heroes you're alluding to were vague memories at best, so their fights seemed like filler.

Nah, its just lame since from the start we know none of these characters matter.
OPM was good when it was just goofy one-shots

you can say that about all cape shit though

To a degree. If Batman #671 - #688 has nothing but C-grade heroes on their own adventure, when it was previously established that Batman is fighting a world-destroying creature, then it's safe to assume these nobodies will die. But if a C-grader appears alongside Batman in #711 - #714, then we know that they're part of the overall plot in a significant way beyond sacrificial lambs.

Thanks, user. I appreciate the advice and the well-wishes.

Shit, I meant to link this post to this guy .

Time travel follows Bill and Ted rules in that anything in the past that involves time travel already happened and so nothing in our timeline has changed.

I don't think I agree. Having side characters world build/ show off how strong the big bad is before the namesake character shows up and fights them isn't bad. Having Jonny donuts stand next to batman and get shot by joker doesn't make him more important. Everybody knows the main guy is gonna win in the end

I don't want to sound like some weeb who defends everything but OPM following side characters isn't wrong. The fucking thing has barely followed Saitama since they introduced Garou. He hasn't even been the main character since its a given that he's gonna show up and win in the end

The real problem is that it is all so decompressed that it ruins the pace of the story.

But none of the other characters have any credibility, so all of this is basically a waste. Saitama is basically all the traits people complain about when it comes to Superman and also Goku combined into one dude.

he is.

Attached: best movie.png (684x2842, 436K)

they are in no rush to have saitama beat the fuck outta the big bad I don't know why you are in a rush to see what you know what will happen

He's not a real character he's just a plot device. Thats why they have other characters doing things and showing comparative strengths with one another without him

But the other characters are so damn boring. There's only two people that have interesting personalities: Saitama and the villain he will fight against. Everyone else is just a cardboard cutout with a personality trait taped to the surface.

They are mostly shallow idiots and utterly incapable.
This isn't like the Justice League where people without the superhuman power of Superman are still capable of doing things, there's other way to solve problems than punching it.
Like Saitama himself would be incapable of doing anything against a villain that was intangible.

Also the setting is boring in terms of abilities because ninety percent of 'heroes' are just "generic anime superhuman" instead of having varied superpowers.

Dionysus was basically Sheogorath dude

saitama doesn't even have a personality though, thats his whole thing. He just shows up and wins

They aren't though they just can't handle the biggest bad and their powers are pretty diverse. Have you watched that JLU episode "Greatest Story Never Told"? Watch it

But he kept his word!

Saitama has a personality, but it is buried under layers of boredom and apathy which makes him more engaging than all the rest.

The S-Tier heroes

One is a telekinetic, one is a lamer matter-eater lad, one is a child genius that is still super strong for no reason, one is a scientist who actually just sends Iron Man suits out to fight directly instead of himself, one is a zombie guy that regenerates but is still super strong, one is a speedster that is still too slow to matter when the real plot happens, one is a super strong dude with a box that transforms into different tools, one is the super strong cyborg jobber Genos

The other 8 are just super strong fighters.

King is only on the team because they mistakenly believe him to be super strong because all of Saitama's exploits are attributed to him.

Below S-Class everyone is a super DUPER jobber who is generically superhuman but maybe uses a dumb weapon.
Not counting the very rare outlier like the S-Class Telekinetic's sister who is also a telekinetic but inferior.

He's dull, he's just another manga protagonist that's obsessed with fighting but the joke is he leveled up too much so the fights are boring for this fight junkie.

Exactly, he wants something but it seems impossible to have it and makes fun of the endless "I must become stronger to fight harder enemies" trope. It's fun to see Saitama not give a fuck because he is dead inside.

But it stopped being funny really quickly, especially when more of the setting started appearing.

You have a very weird definition of fun
I like the animation and battles but the “satire” part it’s pretty damn weak

Weird, I find the animation and battles to be okay. The scene where Genos relays his entire life story to Saitama, who then loses his shit and demands a synopsis, is one of my favourite scenes precisely because it fucks around with the
>Let me tell you the story of my life
>Flashback
structure.

Here's a motherfucker who doesn't get it, right here.

OPM takes the "good guy wins" thing and just says, okay, that's given, let's blow everything that orbits that them up to 11. Instead of the hero being in focus and the supporting characters just filling it in around, it's reverse.

black aloy is strong but can't fight for shit and gets beat up for it, metal bat gets stronger the longer fight goes on, watchdog man literally only cares about his one city, the other 2 are jobbers.

I don't get what you guys want? You know saitama is gonna show up and win why not just have the side characters do their own thing to show how strong he is in relation to everybody. He's hasn't been the main character since garou showed up

And that would be fine if the supporting cast was interesting. As it stands only 3 of the supporting cast are in any way made to have something approximating a personality: Genos, Tatsumaki and King. Everyone else is just a cape with a name and a gimmick.

A setting that isn't meaningless, maybe with some interesting development. In the end all that matters is powerlevels just like any other boring fight manga.

That's excellent!

To be fair being black just give you resistance to sun, doesn't make you immune.

Unless you are saying this because you are ginger, in which case I'm sorry.

What motion? There is no "preferred" reference frame. We can all claim to be "at rest".

I always imagined that gravity still acts (if not, conservation of energy is void) but you don't interact with matter. Momentum and energy are also conserved. If your time machine is orbiting the Earth before you make the Jump, you wind up in Earth-orbit just where you'd be in the destination-year if you hadn't Jumped.

On the other hand, if you start from your lab, you loop through a narrow ellipse. Since virtually the entire path lies within the Earth, the odds are over-whelming you'd re-materialize within the Mantle or the Core.
And that would be that.

I'm not ginger, but I've got enough Irish in me that melanoma runs in the family, and I'm already covered in scars where I've had stuff removed. No cancer yet, just stuff that 'looks dangerous,' but it's scared me indoors for the most part.

Is there something special about the guy who makes that comic?

The devil argues well
I fear I must point out that the comic had a flamethrower (and cocaine, which in context was Doctor Rockzo levels of funny) instead of a jetpack

That's a bingo.

I never read Kick Ass, but that thing in that page I'd say is realistic is that you can condition a child to do horrible acts without question.
That's why often a lot of child abusers were abused themselves, it's a lifelong struggle.

You can't train a child to duel-wield Ninja-to and slaughter their way through gangs of adult criminals with little trouble.

What's the joke here?
I can only assume one is a doppelganger of the other and the cop has to chose which one, but I can't know for sure because the strip doesn't provide context.

Seems pretty obvious to me.

Two crazies in wacky costumes are brawling in a bank, this random cop has no idea who the 'hero' and 'villain' is meant to be in the situation.
Its not like they are trained to recognize all these individuals on sight.

It's funny how this has the same development as Spinnerette.

Man spinnerette got so bad, but when the good artist stopped working on it was basically the death knell?

>female lesbian super heroine guilt trips other super heroine who is actual hetero into starting a honosexual relationship with her.

>Comic authors widely still believe in the aether.
I don't even know where to begin with that.

That's got to be the joke but:
>Its not like they are trained to recognize all these individuals on sight.
Thing is in a world with legit superpowers there's no reason they wouldn't be.

is this the Two Guys and Guy dude?

Asimov once thought of this argument, and then had a professor yell at a student in his fiction about it, saying that you might as well say that you'd fall off the earth when you jumped into the air.

It's based on the system used for grading concert tickets.

He was. He survived 49 assassination attempts, and that's just what was recorded on paper.

I found the first one to be more realistic when it came to characters, such as Hit-Girl being a psycho or Kick-Ass still being a loser even after "winning".
Then they shit all over that on the Hit-Girl mini by making her pretty much on Punisher/Batman levels of effectivity and badassery, undoing everything I liked about the first one and that's where I dropped it. I imagined it continued on the same path after that because Millar wanted more of that Hollywood $$$.

ONE has top-tier panelling and comedic timing, and he has good storytelling/pacing. This is why, aside from a few cool spreads/action scenes, I actually prefer the webcomic to the redraw (for the last few arcs at least)

That 2012 election comic made it like 7.5 years
Milholland is just a really nice dude, which makes me believe every single one of his IRL horror stories are absolutely true. Dude's somehow a cosmic stupid misery magnet

yeah. this has always bugged me. at least with superman they explained it as telekinesis or something

sort of related to these topics, I've been looking through a lot of history stuff on Germany's state in World War II, and namely why it really couldn't have won outside of Hitler and the Nazi party drastically having a 180 in personalities and mindsets (and even then they could have at best hoped for a ceasefire) and I came up with this gag conspiracy theory:

>World War II originally lasted until 1498
>But numerous time travellers who were armchair historians and generals rooting for Nazi Germany kept coming back to provide council to the Nazi high command in hopes of changing the war in Hitler's favor
>This lack of proper understanding of the circumstances that led to Germany's defeat and increasingly dumber proposals on how to win the war has actually hastened Germany's defeat as resources are strained on dead-end wunderwaffen projects, troops misdeployed in pointless operations, and generally distracting more competent individuals within nazi command from key points they could have spent thinking of better strategies
>Eventually, we will recall 'World War II' as a very brief skirmish that ended abruptly when Germany decides to charge the Maginot line head-on on the advice of some witless 'Prophet to the Aryan people'

i don't think i get the joke.

>1498
I know it's a typo, but I imagined those time travelers fucking up so much that the entire world's history gets delayed by 500 years

don't you mean pushed forward?

>Italy is in an event shittier state now because Mussolini is trying to convince the Medicis, the Borgias, and other major families to get their shit together

>often a lot of child abusers were abused themselves

I read a while ago that there actually IS no statistic correlation, which is pretty fucked-up.

Idk, I know it's only anecdotal, but the only two Yea Forums related people I know who are into child abuse and/or complicit with IRL child abuse were both sexually abused as minors or lived in households were sexual abuse occurred, though only one considers it as such.

There's a few studies here for anyone with a weird concept of leisure time: www.childwelfare.gov/topics/can/impact/long-term-consequences-of-child-abuse-and-neglect/abuse/
More relevant quote from a quick glance through:
>the transmission of abuse and neglect between generations could be ascribed to detection bias targeted at parents with childhood histories of abuse or neglect.

Okay, goes like this
>being raped as a child is statistically more likely to turn you gay
>gays are statistically more likely to be pedophiles
/pol/ once crunched the numbers, and as a straight male you're 16 times less likely to molest a little girl than a gay man is to molest a little boy.

because the earth orbits the sun, and the solar system also moves and so is our galaxy.

What has happened his life to make you say that?

People need to reevaluate the 'Gotham was based on New York at night' thing...

>turn you gay

The other statistic might be correct, but...

Well, that IS their version of sexual reproduction. I'm sure homopedo shit happens FAR more often, but they won't say either out of shame, or so gays in general can maintain the illusion of being virtuous and innocent. And why else is man-boy love so celebrated and pushed for in the gay community? Harry Hay, leader and founder of the american gay movemen said "If the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what thirteen-, fourteen-, and fifteen-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world."

Did she just drop the guy?

Yep. She'd do that.

Isn't Castro another guy that survived a ridiculous number of assassination attempts, in this case by the CIA? Don't know the numbers exactly.

They were resorting to some ridiculous loony toons shit like sending him a box of exploding cigars.

He is right, and you are stupid.

The CIA are basically an actual evil organisation operating for the US nation, like somewhere between Weapon X and Cobra.

>implying any nation's spy organizations are in any way different outside of scope and efficacy

Thanks.

>basically

Nothing 'basically' about it. They're HYDRA, except they were created in a world where their side had already won and they're not very competent.

One famous joke about the CIA:
"How can you be so sure the CIA wasn't behind the Kennedy assassination?"
"Because he's dead, isn't he?"

Not our guys. But that's mainly a budget issue.

>Some plots aimed not at murder but at character assassination; they, for example, involved using thallium salts to destroy Castro's famous beard, or lacing his radio studio with LSD to cause him disorientation during the broadcast and damage his public image.
It's really loony toons shit.

>CIA keeps sending him exploding and poisonous cigars
>he quits smoking in 1985
Not only the CIA failed to kill him, but they potentially lenghtened his life.

It was like I turned into one of those sad men who didn't have a shaft of their penis. I was so worried until I mellowed out.

The page where she said “I didn’t realize I could be gay, I always thought that was just for interesting cool people!” was a pretty weird one.

This was fucking stupid even in terms of Ennis's shitting on superheroes obsession.

He hates capes and jacks it to soldiers, but its not like the airforce manage to stop the planes on 9/11.

Maybe they're both new.

dumbass wasn't wearing his seatbelt, what'd he expect

See, now, this is where he overplayed his hand.

Because how the fuck wouldn't these guys be trained for literally the ONLY THING THEY EVEN EXIST FOR AT ALL?

>its not like the airforce manage to stop the planes on 9/11.

That is one aspect of the whole thing that could convince me it was somehow an 'inside job'.

It is inconceivable the air force did not have a scenario ready for this sort of thing. This was not the world's first hijacking.

>Because how the fuck wouldn't these guys be trained for literally the ONLY THING THEY EVEN EXIST FOR AT ALL?
Wasn't the idea for The Boys was that Superheroes only existed as propaganda/marketing tools and despite being strong they were generally shitty incompetent people with no real training other than PR training?

How could they be good PR if they were fuck-ups? How could a billion-dollar company overlook this? It took a human lifetime to grow Homelander. It is absolutely impossible that during that time nobody said "Hey, shouldn't we give this guy some actual situation training?".

Superman working for a company, saving lives, stemming disaster and avoiding millions of dollars worth of property damage - that is excellent PR.

Superman being a giant fuck-up who fumbles important mission is bad PR. You might say they could spin it in the media, but it's much better and less expensive to avoid having to spin anything.

>"Hey, shouldn't we give this guy some actual situation training?".
They did, I think. There was that scene of them showing him how to fly a jet. Or was that Black Noir? Either way, it looks like they tried but it never really took, but in the end they made him so famous with the comics and lore they decided it was fine to let him be an entitled baby as long as his appearances kept bringing in the money, which it did.

To his credit, Homelander didn't spend his entire life causing constant fuck ups. The plane incident was noteworthy because it was one of the few major fuckups The Seven did, before they were eventually put under control. After than, any self indulgent bullshit Homelander did was officially sanctioned by the corporation, like with Herogasm.

I agree that it seems a little excessive how incompetent the company is made out to be, but it's not like that doesn't happen in real life. Shit gets bogged down in layers and layers of employees and red tape that even though so much money is being spent they end up not being very effective.

Because Ennis hates and derides all superheroes that aren't the actual Superman for being faggots

The way I see it, the main problem would be telling superheroes what to do. Most of them seem to be perpetually mentally stuck in their teenage phase because of lack of proper upbringing, so if they don't want to do something, it'll take at least a fucking nuke to get them to do it, like they did with Homelander. Naturally, Vought most likely did not want to go through all this trouble, let alone spend so much.

>Or was that Black Noir?
Yup. And seeing how all of the Seven are far too lazy and cynical to care about this stuff, he was probably picked for this because he was the only one who did not explicitly refuse. I mean, why else would they inconvenience themselves by picking the mute one?
The entire plane scene was funny as fuck though.

>but its not like the airforce manage to stop the planes on 9/11

They easily could have if they weren't under a standdown order

This is the actual conspiracy- the attacks weren't orchestrated as an inside job, but allowed to happen and profited off of.

The comic would be an attempt to 'rationalize' the crazy headlines using the pretext of superheroic misadventures to help them make sense.

It COULD be realistic by having the terrorists kill some hostages before the heroes subdue them, and by having the ground control instruct the pilot's replacement if anything happens to them, but he just had to be edgy and go unrealist in the other direction.

Oh, sort of like some people thing Pearl Harbor was allowed to happen to get Americans interested in fighting WWII?

I don't know about that. I think it was less about tying up loose ends and more about finishing big. All out war with his rogues gallery, ot was basically a boss rush.

That was pretty obvious reading the documents of the period, although at the time I don't think they knew the exact time it would occur or they would have minimised the losses.

As for 9/11, even if there was a plot to allow the hijacking to succeed i would guess that they did not imagine that the WTC would fall, and after it did they would eliminate any evidence.

When will we have an honest government?

There's that bit in the Nick Fury comic where they go to Cuba during bay of pigs to assassinate Castro, but they don't find him in the bunker he was supposed to be in, he's off in the front in a tank.

He also basically fucked a different woman every day for several decades.

>the tits got bigger
Yeah they did

S for Special you idiot.

Best explanation I've seen that follows this is that
>Someone, at every level, was warned
>All the warning signs came in
>And everyone proceeded to fuck up because they either didn't take the threat seriously, or because they forgot the drill procedure

Mind you, I might be biased, our entire department had to be redrilled because MULTIPLE people were using gas regulators on high pressure bottles that expired nearly two decades ago. Where if one of those regulators fails, that high pressure bottle of compressed gas is going to fly with enough force to smack through walls.

The most recent example is that he kept his marriage and child a secret until both were a done deal as during the time they were dating a "fan" had decided Milholland's OTP was in fact an ex and attempted to stage an intervention/meeting to get him back together with the other woman. That's apparently not even the weirdest thing that's happened to him. Half his cast is based off real people and at least one of them has been harassed for things their character has done

better without the last two panels

Because anyone can look at police reports there. Their crazy is on public record.

Darkshine was a skinny Japanese guy who worked out obsessively until he became a nine foot tall insanely muscular black man. And believe it or not the same thing apparently happened to Lordgenome, who used to look like his daughter and ended up growing into a huge muscular Arab.

I was shocked cause I kinda forgot about the comic back when there were two good girls so I forgot just how big they got

>hijacking to succeed
In the past when planes were hijacked they were usually just kidnapped and ransomed

Pearl Harbor going down how it did was largely due to arrogance.

>Lordgenome
he was just ten

Even if I know what this is supposed to be about- I can barely parse it.

Funny as shit. But not really realistic, the air pressure wouldn’t be so gentle.

>King is only on the team because they mistakenly believe him to be super strong. So it seems...

I always thought King had the best bad superpower: "Super Worst/Best Luck Maybe?" after all how much bad luck does a guy has to have to all that shit to happen to him and in constrast how lucky he has to be to be saved by Saitama/hide without getting injured. The maybe part is because King doesn't know he has Super powered luck or he simply cant be sure 100% of it so he has to live in constant fear of his life.

>This was not the world's first hijacking.
No, but it was the world's first suicide bombing via plane.

The government had plenty of contingency plans for terrorists hijackings of planes with the intent to get ransom money or some sort of political gain. Killing yourself along with everyone on the plane was never more then a last resort. 9/11 was the first time in the world anyone had ever hijacked a plane with the specific intention of crashing it into something like a missile.
