UXM #10 - Danger

[brooms]

Half a page of the most recent issue of Uncanny X-Men.






V. eventful issue - cheating, blackmailing, incest vibes, dragons - it's practically an episode of Game of Thrones.

I bet there's a million lost artifacts that think they were a part of a utopia in that galaxy alone.

[brooms]

none as cool as UNIT.

[sir_mikael]

I've recently discovered what your icon is of and I hate the world for not allowing me to see the actual video.

PS. "throwing shade", wig snatching gif, "flops", obvious fabulous taste... do you... visit ONTD by any chance? :) I know I've seen other SD-ers there during my lurkings but this post just screams ONTD so I had to bring it up.

[brooms]

i do! :D

and omg i think i still have the video in one of my pendrives! i'll take a look through them tomorrow and if i find it, i can upload it to mediafire for you!

[sir_mikael]

Woah, that'd be awesome. Thanks!

[brooms]

archie & matt being goofballs!

[sir_mikael]

Omg thank you!

Haha, those crazy kids...

[darkknightjrk]

Yeah, this was probably the best UXM issue Gillen's done so far. :D

[brooms]

i'm upset that they probably won't use UNIT in avx now :[

gillen should be one of the head writers of this event, ugh.

[thanekos]

You know, Unit would make a great thumbdrive case mod.

[q99]

I remember that guy from SWORD!

[shadur]

So do I, and I want to know who let it out of its cell -- and what Brand is going to do to the unfortunate souls who were responsible for it escaping.

[brooms]

it's heavily implied in the previous issue that he got himself out. he wanted to meet hope.

[lonewolf23k]

Isn't there a mutant with machine control powers left? How about getting HIM to talk to talk to that mind-controlling machine with an attitude, and teach it some humility?

[akodo_rokku]

There is. And he's dating Danger. So really, Box should be levying a canadian-style ass-whuppin' on Unit any day now.

[twomasks]

Wait...isn't Box married?

[akodo_rokku]

Diamond Lil was killed during Necrosha.

[brooms]

excuse u, unit doesn't need to learn humility, simpletons around him need to learn how not to be flops.

[icon_uk]

I can think of two offhand - Madison Jefferies on Utopia and Taki at Wolverine's School. Warlock is a borderline case too.

[sir_mikael]

Wait, is that the asian kid in a wheelchair from the old X-Terminators? If so, that's kinda awesome.

[icon_uk]

Yup, Taki has essentially the same powers as Madison, a sort of techno-kinetic (Though IIRC Madison was always called a "transmutator" by Byrne, who created him)

[long_silence]

Wiz Kid doesn't go to the Jean Grey school. He goes to the Avengers Academy. He hasn't done anything at all.

[icon_uk]

Ah thanks, I knew I'd seen him in a "kid crowded" scene, so thought it was the Jean Grey School.

[cainofdreaming]

Creating an universe wide utopia never works. Because sooner or later you're going to run into the Flock. And their most famous member - Lockheed.

Okay, sure, there's Galactus, Celestials and those other guys too. But really, they're pretty much an afterthought compared to a whole race of rhyming miniature space dragons.

[espanolbot]

Gymnasium or no, at least she has the technology to invent legs.

[dr_archeville]

I'm LOLing at how the person with a Dalek for an icon says legs are an indicator of advanced technology :)

(Why have legs when you can fly?!)

[md84]

Is it really an accomplishment if you "almost" bring peace to the universe? That's just a nice way of saying you failed.

UNIT's still pretty impressive simply due to the fact that it's still running after countless millenia without any maintenance. Though given its ego, which I doubt its creators programmed it to have, maybe it's suffering "software rot".

[salinea]

UNIT is creepy awesome.


what the fuck is this animate gif from? I find it pretty disturbing.

[brooms]

don't worry, nobody was harmed. it was a miss competition and the contestant who placed 2nd was a little upset, but snatching the winner's wig was all it came from it.

[salinea]

Nasty.

[sir_mikael]

"Conversely, you are a gymnasium with pretensions." XD

[leoboiko]

For an artifact of godlike science, he has quite the feel for sarcasm. I’m reminded of Marvin somehow. “Here I am, a brain inches from unifying the Universe, and I have to talk to a videogame that, for mysterious reasons, wears the body of a human teenage sex fetish.”

[angelophile]

I love UNIT, but not enough, I'm afraid, to pick up the book, considering the rest of the cast and art team on the book. Alas.

[brooms]

this arc only had two issues (9 & 10) and it's worth it, imo.

but i'm biased, i'm really into gillen's writing.

[pyrotwilight]

So I take it Danger asked Unit to mate with her (or get married)?

The only real response would be that of Darkwing Duck in such an event.

LETS GET DANGEROUS.

[brooms]

So I take it Danger asked Unit to mate with her (or get married)?

nooo, she's responsible for mantaining his new cell in utopia. she thinks she has it all covered and when UNIT proceeds to tell her otherwise.

very emphatically.

[equinox216]

"I'm the sole remaining artifact of a species with almost godlike science that came within INCHES of uniting the universe into an empire of peace."

Hold on, corrected that for you:
"I'm the sole remaining giant flying sex toy of a species with almost godlike science that came within INCHES of uniting the universe into an empire of peace."

I mean, seriously? A giant flying phallus named 'UNIT'?

[sir_mikael]

"I mean, seriously? A giant flying phallus named 'UNIT'?"

He probably had a brother called TOOL.

Although UNIT has never struck me to have that shape. I think of him more like one of those things you make your own soda popcicle in. I'd fucking love to have one in the shape of UNIT. You'd hold on to his torso and arms when eating. :D
