  • Biollante: probalby, but 59 percent is considered a "blow out" in political terms, some people are on shaky ground right now, there was evne a conservative pollset that worked for Bush warning people that if Republicans are against things like gay marriage in the near future, they would endure catastrophic losses, I don't know if it's this political cycle, but the paradigm shift already happened a while ago

  • Banshee: Because we fans take our favorite stuff seriously, that is why.

  • PTF: It's a magic hammer. It doesn't have to make sense. :)

  • Steveinthecity: I wonder why it's always readers that catch mistakes with art, powers, plots, continuity, uniforms, etc. and not the creators and editors?  I hope they're not secretly laughing at us. ;)
    May 22, 2012, 05:09:43 AM
  • 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???

Well, at least Betty's ditching her lame tambourine.

I usually don't get the Archie digest, but that old lady doesn't seem to be the problem in the story. It seems like Archie can't stand people finding out about his little lies and bad behavior.

Offline Banshee

I think the old lady's a busybody because she's lonely and bored at her age. :-\

And isn't there a thing that Betty COULDN'T do? She's so talented at everything!

Oh, yeah...she couldn't tear Archie away from Veronica or win her approval, either.

So - Veronica is of course, Betty's only flaw!XD

Offline AyaBlue

Betty's a bit of a doormat too, I'm always fond of the stories where she sticks up for herself (usually when dealing with Veronica, Archie or random person #879). That would definitely be something that I'd like to see happen more often.
