postersandstuff Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) In the 80s , here in Norway , Marvel comics didnt seem to be popular , The Phantom was very popular 70s/80s but then in 90s it wasnt as popluar as it used to be , some people blamed cable tv and video games but maybe the stories werent as good as they used to be , theyve now decided to cancel it , kids today have no interest in Phantom The Phantom 1964 - 2018. ........thats a long run though (26 issues a yr since 1970-2013 then 12 issues a yr) BTAS flopped too , only 12 issues were printed I wonder if comics get more respect in France , people like Herge and Goschinny/Uderzo ?

Mercury Man Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Again...this schlep took part in the filming of Iron Man 3. I am sure he got paid for his appearance even though it wound up on the cutting room floor. He is complete hypocrite for mocking the genre, and the people who...."oh I don't know, go out and see a movie", when he agreed to partake in a movie due to Stan's creation. Perhaps his feelings were hurt because he didn't make the final cut. I would love for him to address his time filming the movie, but he will not. He sucks.

I had dancers who were 20 years old to 33 years old, American born and South American born, they all knew Peter Parker was Spider-man. I thought you ran a comic store for some reason. Chuck is a multitalented man who does/did both, and more. That's why I love him. Prince Namor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the topic turned too political, that was never my intention. The boards and grading companies don't exist without Stan and I just thought Bill was taking a cheap shot at an industry and the man when he had just passed. You should be ashamed of yourself. It's not the Mod's problems if you don't understand their hidden (and not so hidden) agendas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unca Ben Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Through his writings, speeches and persona, Stan Lee brought people together. Bill Maher, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsilverjanet Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) One of my posts was also reported where I stated what Greggy could do with my foot.

I don't remember threatening anyone. Unless my post threatened their snowflake sensibilities. ….. never underestimate the bottled rage of a snowflake …. GOD BLESS.... It's been my experience of late, and this is not directly addressed to the two of you, that people using the term "snowflake" to described someone they perceive as too easily offended, are often the first ones who want to squash unpopular opinions. Just saying. ...I was just poking fun at Mike …. I'm not even sure which posts got pulled or what they pertained to. Hopefully, you weren't one of the offended ones, as you've always been cool with me. As for Maher …. I no longer have much respect for him. He is entitled to his opinion, but the boorish way in which he presented it speaks volumes about his character.

batman_fan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Anyone have how to see what post you got a warning for. I didn’t think I posted anything controversial in this thread but still scored a warning from now on I only post “CGC does an amazing job” ”wow that’s very insightful please tell me more” ”cool books” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
