    I've only ever seen him in Ender's Game and I thought he was ok in that. Nothing inspirational or endearing about him, but he at least looks the part of a young nerd. One article I read questioned his ability to be funny and quippy, citing that his other roles have always been serious characters.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    They've already proven that to not be the case though. Because at one point where kid Cyclops died, present Cyclops vanished from existence. And when they healed kid Cyclops, present Cyclops reappeared.

    Oh yeah, there`s that, but then how do you explain Angel and Jean having radically new power sets?

    Goes either way. You could say Cyclops death was bad writing.

    I mean, he's currently the CEO of his own scientific corporation. That's a pretty long road from the teenage newspaper photographer he started out as.

I give it 10 issues before Parker Industries is down, it`s been self destructing for a while now. And then it`s back to living with the ancient mummy, yay.
    See what I mean now?

    Interesting take I read in a vulture article today about the Ultimate Universe:


    Bendis wasn’t blind. He knew that by 2011, the decade-long Ultimate experiment had lost much of its luster. He was constantly talking to colleagues about how to fix the world he’d launched. “I would say, ‘Hey, what did we do right? What did we do wrong? What would I have done differently?’” he recalled. “In those conversations of what we did right or wrong, we’d come about the idea of Peter Parker being of a different race. That if you really look at the origin, there’s no reason that character wouldn’t be of color. In fact, maybe it makes more sense.”

    A) Everything until the near end of U-Xmen and F4 was perfect, the severe drop in quality a result of constant writer changes.

    B) Ultimatum is an insult to humanity /Thread, Bendis having ZERO clue on what continuity means, Anything Loeb touched besides Ultimate X.

    C) Right, except that Miles` story was completely sleep inducing considering that ALL of his villains for the past three years or so since the character debuted have been defeated in exactly the same way. The fact that all his arcs seem to be closely related to him somehow made it seem as if the character still hasn`t started having his own adventures.

    Well, with the folding in of Ultimate into 616, that should change things. I know they are bringing Miles into the fold, and possible SLJ Nick Fury as well.

    Looks like the new Spider-Man has been chosen:

    Wow, another Brit. Also, is he really only 5'6"?


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Meh, Garfield was hotter, 5'6" is not bad if they`re really going with the high school approach is it?

    I think Peter Parker is only like 5'10" or something like that, so it is pretty close.

    Sorry but you must be a tall person to think that 4 inch difference is pretty close. Most 5'6" guys would give their left nut for another inch, and both nuts for 4 inches.

    Those are some interesting guys. An inch won't do much, at least compared to a nut.
