  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)
    May 21, 2012, 07:23:13 AM
  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

  • Biollante: gonna be hard for anyting to catch up, Ridley Scott is pretty much the top of dark visual design imo, and he drew a lot from Moebius for that film, most fillm makers are not really connected to aestheticas of good fantasy film making in the same way

I know BOOM! Studios is losing the rights to its Disney comics to Marvel, except for according to the recent Previews Darkwing Duck and DuckTales.

Bur if DC buys Archie comics, would Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man move to DC to join its other kid aimed comic series including Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, and MAD Magazine?

...So I see this line , see DTH's new post...then go back to the beginning and see that I started this line :o!!!!!!!!!!! Ay yi yi :D :idiot2: ::)
  DTH , you mean that the " traditional " Disney stuff , UNCLE SCROOGE and the like , will be under the Marvel name but the more " modern " , quasi-superhero-y things that might be seen as having more " comic-shop fan " appeal , will stay at Boom! ? :o Frankly , you might think it'd be the other way around , if anything... :o
  Around the mid-90s , before the merger , at that time , the Disney comics in a D&M vein were being published by Gladstone and distributed by them to comics shops , while Marvel was publishing Disney-based comics of their " new generation " ( Beauty and the Beast , Lion King ) properties which they of course distributed to comics shops...while , for non-comics shop - " newsstand " ???  - accounts , Marvel would distribute Gladstone's D&M titles , those copies would have an additional seal/trademark upon the covers indicating that ! It seemed like a good idea , but I suppose it didn't work out financially-speaking , it was something like the 3d of the 5 or so attempts to publish Disney comic books in the US started during the comics-shop years ( I.e. , after Gold Key/Whitman/Western's " old-style " Disney comics were discontinued about early 1984  :'( )...

Well, I don't see how that's a bad thing.  It will certainly allow those comics to get better distribution and probalby talent as well.

...Are you referring to that mid-90s split of the Disney titles and their distribution between Marvel and Gladstone/Hamilton ?
  No , I agree , it seemed like a good idea - but I suppose it didn't work out financially well enough to continue , and it's years in the past now .
  Is that what you meant ?????

What if Image Comics had bought Archie?  :coolsmiley:

Quote from: Brunette on September 07, 2009, 06:00:34 AM
Now Marvel would probably be sanitized for the precious kids. ::)

Not that I really care; I'm more of a DC fan myself.;D

If I remember correctly, Disney said they would stay out of Marvel's way concerning the comic business. Or I could be wrong? They are using the licence to release media though.

If I took a shot at writing an Archie movie, would anyone mind?

Seems like a good deal for Mavel.  If the comic/film business dries up, they'll be supported by Disney.  Unless Disney tries to dump them, but I don't think that's really in the nature of the company.

There could be a slow creep into the corporate culture at Marvel, but I don't think "non-squeaky clean" stuff is beneath Disney at this point anways.

This makes me darn angry. :knuppel2:

BOOM's team did a great job on The Incredibles, and I can predict how Marvel will screw it up. :'(

Bad art from third-stringers who never saw the film will abound, & the writing will be done by some sullen lout who sees it as being "beneath him". :tickedoff:

Worse. They may try to make it "dark". :tickedoff: :tickedoff:

The writer & artist at BOOM got punked by Disney Corporate Suits, plain & simple.

At present . Marvel's management is being very unwilling to issue the traditional " Ducks & Mice " Disney characters - Obviously , Donald , Mickey , etcetera . - too .  :( So they are in limbo  >:( .
