Sensation & Wonder: An Absolute Comics Roleplay [DC & Marvel One Universe Style Game]

I finally return from my holibobs today, so hoping to catch up ok the IC before starting on a post.

Also I've been thinking and I might make Tim a roaming character if that's ok, since I'm currently looking to play support for more than just 1 character (unless that's actually fine of course and not an issue)

@Natty

Limitations only exist on driving characters. Support and roaming it's really as many as you can handle.... just be sensible.

@Master Bruce I feel like the first Thor films tried to be very Shakespearean but when they weren't getting what they wanted they just went "Bring in Taika" and he went the opposite way. Honestly think Thors banishment scene and Lokis argument with Odin are two of their best moments.

"Steve. If I could have a word."

The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed genuinely caught off guard by the request, but nodded, apparently indicating a 'standby' motion to some unseen craft awaiting him in the clouds.

"You've been a part of every major conflict that this country's seen since World War II. You were at the forefront of The Cold War, Vietnam, The Gulf War... when faced with all of that horror, it would have been easy to become disillusioned. To turn your back on it all and give up."

A sense of melancholy hung on The Dark Knight's tone, as his caped silhouette stood at the edge of the building. He stared out across the skyline of the city he'd sworn to protect. It all suddenly seemed much bigger than he'd ever noticed before.

"And you didn't. Despite it all, you persevered. I just wanted... no, I need to know."

Turning around fully, Batman's gaze was affixed to the man who'd shouldered a lifetime of burdens. A man who was much older than him, but hadn't seemingly cracked under the same mortal limitations that the vigilante was beginning to fear were creeping upon him.

"Does it ever get easier?"

@Master Bruce

Steve looked down at the ground for a moment. He couldn't lie he had been taken off-guard by the Batmans comment. Always stoic, always unwavering. Steve had never known anyone to be as unflinching as the Batman in his time, and he had known a lot of superheroes over the years. Turning to face Bruce, he tried to make as much eye contact as the man’s mask would allow. "It doesn't.

He sighed as he backed up to the ledge, leaning back against it as he did so. "I'd like to say it does, that as you get older it's easier to get up every day and fight the good fight. I used to want to make the world a better place, to stop the bullies. It wasn't until Japan that I realised that there are bullies all around us, and there will always be bullies. The important thing is that no matter what, no matter how bullies you come across you stand back up to face them. When you get older, all we can ask is that the next generation is ready and all we can do is prepare them as best we can.”

Steve crossed his arms over his chest. "We've done some good over the years Bruce; All we can do is prepare the world the best we can."

He turned away as the hatch of the invisible Quinjet opened, and climbing up onto the ledge of the building he stepped into the back of the craft. Steve shouted down as it began to pull away. "If you ever want to talk, you've got my number, I've got some experience being old."

@Hillan It wasn't till I started rewatching that I really noticed his influences on the films and they uh... they're not great. I get that Natasha isn't happy that she can't have kids but that she thinks herself a monster because off it?

Hey, OOC discussion is cool. That in mind...

What are your unpopular superhero/superhero media opinions?

For instance, considering what's been said in this thread... I didn't think The Suicide Squad was that great. 6/10-ish. It's a vast improvement over the original of course, but from the hype I was expecting something mindblowing, instead I got something that felt like a low to mid MCU outing.

@DocTachyon

1) Incredible Hulk is under rated and under appreciated within the MCU and is one of the best films within the MCU and I still stand that for a solo film it has one of the best, if no the best, final fight.

2) Endgame was overrated. I know a lot of people are like boo you just didn't like how Hulk was portrayed and that's right. More importantly I felt like it suffered from some real pacing issues, I understand why everything is in it and I wouldn't know what to cut, I just feel like it doesn't work.

Bruce Banner looked at the scanner in his hands. Trans-dimensional theory wasn't exactly his area of expertise, but Gamma was and whatever the entity had used to break through the dimensional barrier had created the brieftest of Gamma Spikes, and that was something that he could track. He sighed as he walked into the bar. Bruce didn't like the city very much, infact he actively tried to avoid them whenever he possibly could. Gamma Base, deployment and maybe the occasional visit to the Helicarrier or Triskellion. That was enough civilisation for him. He had a bad habit of breaking civilisation whenever he went too it.

Stopping outside of a bar, Bruce shrugged as he pushed his way in. The scanner pointed him towards a tall long-haired blonde man. Raising his voice above the din, he projected it through the bar. "My name is Doctor Bruce Banner. Everyone but the blonde leave the bar." The toughest of bikers had their eyes go wide at the mention of his name, as they all stood up just abandoning their drinks. Some risked going past him out the front door, careful not to touch him or barge past him. Others rushed through the back and out the door. The Bartender was last to leave, casting a cautious glance between the blonde man and Bruce, who walked round behind the bar. Grabbing a glass he pulled on the tap, filling it with beer and sliding it infront of the entity. He then pulled out a can of soda out of the fridge for himself, pulling the tab of the can open it with a crack-hiss.

"So your lack of reaction to my name lets me know that you aren't a regular visitor. Mind telling me who you are and what you're doing on my planet?"

What colors do you generally have trouble with?

@Enarr

When there's not a lot of contrast with the background I struggle. So dark colours mostly.
