Here's the thing. You said a "The Thing is an Avenger."
Was he a member of New Avengers during the Bendis run? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a nerd who reads comics, I am telling you, specifically, among comic book nerds, no one calls the Thing an Avenger. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "Avengers" you're referring to the many affiliated superhero teams, which includes teams from West Coast Avengers to Great Lakes Avengers to Young Avengers.
So your reasoning for calling the Thing an Avenger because he was a part an Avengers team on some occasions? Let's get Punisher and Squirrel Girl in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or a mutant? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. Wolverine is an Avenger and a member of the X-Men. But that's not what you said. You said the Thing is an Avenger, which is not true unless you're okay with calling practivally all Marvel superheroes Avengers, which means you'd call Adam Warlock, Dr. Strange, and other heroes Avengers, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?
She puts her finger in his butt like any normal couple
But any sudden movement could crush her finger.
You made me remember about this couple I know. He was going on down there, apparently good enough for her to suddenly close her legs hard enough catching his ear piercing in a bad way and ripping it out. Granting an ER visit.
She always looked good in orange
Is that Natasha Lyonne? I bet if anybody could make it work it would be her. <3
She absolutely would
I bet she's double clicked his mouse before
I bet he jizzes fish tank gravel.
oh my god
Thank you, thats exactly what I was going for.
No need for Viagra
"The Thing! Is his dork made out of orange rock like the rest of his body?
"Listen: you might think about getting your friend some help. He's way too preoccupied with superheroes' reproductive organs."
Just hand and mouth stuff most of the time and a diddy-sized barrel of lube after sanding down the unit for special occasions
With an angle grinder like Hellboy on his horns?
Going by most of her characters I'd say she'd tell you
Daddy needs to get his rocks off!
Same reason Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby works. Charm.
And modern lube technology.
I'm perfectly comfortable not knowing.
Does it need to? It's a film adaptation of a comic.
Sorry, just the 34th rule of the Internet
Those rules are more like guidelines
It's been mentioned there is porn of it (if you want to find it). 34 isn't a guideline It's a statements.
It's a descriptive rule, not a proscriptive rule. It's telling you how it is, not what to do. That shit already exists
Speaking as a furry, trust me when I say people are gonna draw anything from any franchise sexually.
It's none of our business
They gave The Thing eyebrows!?
he already had them. this is the most accurate depiction of the original drawings by Kirby:
So I don't really know a lot about comic books, or the Fantastic Four in general. Did they really make Susan Storm a member of the hero team, and then promptly reverse that to make her a damsel in distress?
i don't know about this particular story line but Susan Storm has been a lot of things throughout the years, including a secret villain. afaik, she is (at least generally speaking) the underappreciated mom figure that keeps the team together. definitely not a weak character though.
Makes total sense if you know her style and humor.
