Eobard Thawne be like “Nice.”

@Angrybrony  
I thought that Thanos was supposed to be this destroyer of worlds with plans to wipe out half of the existing life in the universe, not just a random douchebag.

@TheHappySpaceman  
he’s both.

Hearing the talk about Disney’s Hercules has me curious about how they’d try to adapt the legend of Cu Chulainn.
 
Then again, from what I’ve read about his story, they’d have to leave out several things (adult content) that would make it kinda pointless for them to try.
 
Now, a studio in, say, France, might do a decent job; look at Dofus Book I: Julith and let’s just say I’d bet they could manage to tell the story without excessively sanitizing the story.
 
Admittedly, I just want to see a well-made animated adaptation of my favorite Celtic Myth that doesn’t depart too far from the source material; even if they had to give it a higher rating, I think it’d be worth it.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Well yeah that’s what he wants to do that’s his goal but everyone needs a hobby too.

@Darth Prime  
That sounds dumb.

@TheHappySpaceman  
what do you expect? it’s a comedy comic. it’s a gag that’s not meant to be taken that seriously.

@Angrybrony  
I can’t take it seriously, but it also doesn’t make me laugh.

@WyrmSpawN  
well comedy isn’t universal.

@Angrybrony  
It’s not funny because I feel genuinely bad for the guy, but also I can’t take it seriously because the idea that he’d just do that is stupid.

That thing isn’t supposed to be canon or taken seriously either.
 
It’s just a small joke comic added on to one of the regular comics Thanos was in.

 
I made a Thanos gag picture that no one understood because they only saw the movie.

@Dex Stewart  
I get it

@icey wicey 1517  
You’re awesome 👍

Needs more muscles.
 
Rule #1 of drawing comic book characters: draw muscles.
 
Rule #2: draw more muscles.

@Dustcan  
So if you are drawing females, less muscles then?

@icey wicey 1517  
yes. and less cloths and ass shots.

@Dustcan  
I don’t think I’m very good at muscles.  
Then again,this was a request,and the requester liked it enough to request more.

@icey wicey 1517
 
More muscles, less clothes.

 
Dan Slott did my favorite She Hulk comics.

so a recently saw some doctor doom in marvel capcom art and all i can think of is victor just not having any of danta’s shit. he’d probably get along great with vergil tho.
 
“doom has no time for this pizza and crazy parties”

Watching Konosuba: The Movie. It feels like Megumin’s character in the movie is somewhat of a departure from the way she’s portrayed in the show. In the show, she’s portrayed as somewhat childish and cared more about explosions than others. In the movie, she’s portrayed more like a tsundere.
 
Personally, I like movie Megumin more than TV Megumin. If she continues being a tsundere, she would definitely be best Konosuba girl in my opinion.

Holy hell. I had no idea Megumin’s father was Jotaro Kujo!

I’m currently 50 minutes through the Konosuba movie. And I gotta say, while I think the humor and the writing is pretty good, it doesn’t really have an overarching story. Like, there’s no 3 act structure you would fine in a typical movie, which I feel is to the detriment of the movie overall.
 
Not saying it’s bad or anything, but there’s a difference between doing a TV show and doing a movie. With TV shows, you don’t need a overarching story. You can be episodic if you choose to, which, for the most part, I think Konosuba is. The movie is basically like 4 additional episodes of the TV show. It feels more like a TV show and less like a movie, which I feel is the movie’s biggest weakness.
 
Ironically, I feel the last couple episodes of season 2 had a more movie feel than the movie itself. Seeing everyone band together and help Aqua was this strong, powering, emotional moment. I kind of wish the hot springs story arc was the movie and the movie was instead part of the regular show.
 
Still, the movie is really good. A lot of the jokes really land and you can just tell like the show the animators had a blast. I also really like we delve more into Megumin and YunYun’s backstories and who they are as characters. To me, that’s the biggest strength of the movie, is seeing Megumin and YunYun get character depth that I felt we never got in the show.
