TM2 Dinobot Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I don't usually read AS-SM, but I might have to check this out. What page is it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Most of em. I'll see if I can add a snap tonight. And why exactly are you not reading All-Star Superman young man? It's the best comic in the world ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Can I ask why the unecessary use of that big pic to get a simple point across? Plus it overshadows your text at the bottom there TM2Dinobot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I gotta agree with JL. Plus, thats a fugly pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Everytime I see that picture, I just want to throttle the guy in the pic. No offense to anyone who posts that thing, but it just devalues the thread even more than the lack of pictures seems to do. It's a good way to derail a topic (case in point) and possibly offend the topic starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good way to derail a topic (case in point) and possibly offend the topic starter. Not posting pics, is not devalueing a thread. Its the information that counts. If you want to see a pic, go buy the issue or kindly ask if the topic starter can post a photo. A good way to derail a topic? Some folks are pros at that...

MINI_MYTE Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I heartily agree! TM2 has used that "photo" in one of my threads and it totally kills the mood (it does devalue the thread). Try not using it in the future. It's really annoying and I'm glad I'm not the only one on the forum who thinks so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Add me to the photo haters list, it's just plain annoying. Seeing in one thread wasn't so bad but it's appeared in several is not amusing and is WAY too big... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 So, I'm still curious as to what exactly Rad is talking about? Guess I'll have to check out All-Star Superman when I pick up my DC 'Mates tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll have to check out All-Star Superman when I pick up my DC 'Mates tomorrow... Wait no longer Mr. Cappy. Here is said picture in all it's Frank Quitely glory Your lives are now complete aren't they? By the way guys. I didnt really mind TM2 posting that picture of himself trying to understand cameras. But I do agree it was a bit on the large side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thanks Rad for the pic, that explains it. I like it, might have to pick up the book again. It saves me a trip to the shop today. Sorry to have steered the conversation away from the topic Rad. The pic was somewhat of a rudish exclamatory gesture and was unnecessary. Come on to take the time to post such a thing that can be done in simple words, plus I think it annoyed many myself included. If I didn't say anything, the habit would continue.

I wasn't saying that the lack of pics was devaluing the thread, but rather saying that whoever tosses in the "This Thread is Useless Without Pictures" seems to think the thread lacks value without images. I guess I should have clarified that better myself. As far as seeing the actual image, it kind of falls short of my expectations a bit. I was expecting something very clearly aimed at us, and had actual plans on grabbing the issue for keepsake value. Still, it was an interesting notion.

gerg Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 So... we all agree this was one big coincidence and people are just overreacting, then? Good. Anyways, I don't mind "This thread is useless without pics" because, when you are discussing something visual, for those of us who may not have such a visual object, attempting to describe it to us completely fails compared to actually showing it to us. Also, ASSuperman as best comic ever? I believe Nextwave/Marvel Zombies need to have a talk with a certain someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 It is a pretty cool coincidence though. Thanks for catching that Rad. As far as calling the thread pointless without pictures, as Shanester said, its far more polite to ask for pictures than to post the massively huge picture of some guy with a lens cap. Though harmless in and of itself, it can come across as rude or downright hateful, even if it is not intentional, as seems to be the case here. As far as saying All-Star Superman, Nextwave, or Marvel Zombies are the best comics ever, everyone has their own opinion, and we should all try to reserve casting final judgment until we have read all the books in question. DC isn't on my pull list and I've never picked up an issue of Nextwave, so I can't honestly say that MZ beats them both hands down. I can say that Marvel Zombies ranks pretty high on the list of comics I have read, but that's as far as my own judgment will allow. On another note, we're the opposite of normal people? I can see how that is an accurate assumption. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
