Oh damn it. Right in the heart. That hurts.





Also, another cherry top to this whole debacle:

Spymasters tears are so manly they went thru his helmet

[elwood]

I don't read this book. Can someone explain why he quits this time?

[crabby_lioness]

Fraction, again.

[elwood]

Ha! I did not notice that until you pointed it out..... Nice!

[brooms]

... someone should put together a post with scans of scenes where X person tells Z person they love him/her while stabbing them, shooting them, decapitating them, setting them on fire, kicking their ass, etc.

i feel like there's a lot of that. i can only think of two examples rn, but i feel like there are more. much more.

[blackruzsa]

Well, and I still think it was a stupid decision despite all his arguments, he allowed Hammertech to be attached to his armor to keep track of his alcohol levels >:/ State-sanctioned. And so, his armor is pretty much useless now that Hammer can turn it on and off.
And he's sort of hostile against the Avengers... idk if it's a plan or him breaking down...

[blackruzsa]

I know right? What's the other examples you can think of, incidentally?

[icon_uk]

And another gay Marvel character bites the dust.

Considering this is Tony "I can build a super-tech suit of armor with a box of junkyard crap" Stark, I'm awaiting the revelation that he's hacked into the Hammertech device and knows how to override it.

[elwood]

Thanks for the update.

[beoweasel]

Yup, that's what I was thinking when I read that too.

[goattoucher]

Why the whistling fuck is he wearing a non-face-shaped helmet under a face-shaped mask? That... I don't even... AAUUUGH!

[sinisterlink]

Dude, did you really need to stab him to death? Couldn't you have knocked him out or done something that would have put him into a temporary coma or something? Yeesh. Reminds me of those movies or shows where some guy is yelling about how much he loves his wife while he's in the process of beating the crap out of her.

The sad part is that there are lots of people who would see this and be like, "Well yeah, he killed him, but he was really upset about doing it and didn't really want to! Poor baby." I have learned this from my adventures in other fandoms.

[brooms]

but i feel like there have been much, MUCH worse in comics!

i see that it's been made into a trope - http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KillTheOnesYouLove - so there must be!

[lascoden]

Another? Oh no, who else did we lose this week?

[thanekos]

I love that Spymaster was wearing a mask the whole time, because it kind of justifies how plastic-y his skin as Pimacher looked.

Doesn't quite help everyone else (though, really, it's only bad when they're under sources of light).

[blackruzsa]

Indeed.

[lascoden]

My god, they're all Spymaster!

[blackruzsa]

I'm half hoping he didn't hit any major organs or parts and someone will come rescue him.

.... I'm optimistic.

Hate that he had to be killed. What, no knockouts?

Anyways, I don't think it was a crime of passion so much as it was a practiced move... I mean, if he's Spymaster then his whole identity is dependent on being Spymaster, so much so that no matter how happy he is with his handle, he has to drop it and purge everything that could compromise him.

Sucks that love apparently goes one level down from the job, but it also makes a sad bit of sense ):

[blackruzsa]

Must be hell in the summer.

"Dude, did you really need to stab him to death?"

Even if the guy did have to die, aren't there different ways where it would be even less likely he would feel any pain? I mean, surely snapping the neck or even shooting him in the head is more likely to be quick and painless than stabbing him in the chest.

[lascoden]

Well, if it was a quick stab, right into the heart, it would be instant death. I would expect a professional such as him to know how to do it.

[shadowpsykie]

me too :D

[shadowpsykie]

welll i think the Jean one is slightly different than the others.... what with that fact that it was either that or burn to death in the sun.... i honestly would want that better....

[shadowpsykie]

freedom ring is still the poster child... i've since forgiven the writer as he kinda fan boyed out when he got the gig and wanted to combine both his ideas into one story... the unfortunate outcome was that he created a cool gay hero that was made to also be a superhero cautionary tale.....
