Unacceptable 90s superhero trends not done today

[TomServofan]

Ah, i certainly agree with the "pouches and ridiculous big guns" part.

Funnily enough i'm kinda a Cable fan, which was the living embodiment of those two trends lol.

Did you think they improved Cable with the Deadpool movie?

Meh, it was pretty average. It was enjoyable enough i guess for what it was but i would certainly not say improved.

They did want to make a more today kind of Cable character.

‘90s swimsuit special comic book issues, especially the Marvel Swimsuit Specials

Jubilee was like 13 years old in the 90's and Marvel had her wear a two-piece swimsuit/bikini. Beside Jubilee, Wolverine was roasting hot dogs with claws right rom inside his body. Can you get hepatitis from eating those hotdogs on a skewer being Wolverine's claws.

No one's getting hep from Wolverine's anything. The virus wouldn't last a femtosecond against that healing factor.

Clones and Knockoffs are a 90's thing?!? HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Tell that to all the Wolverine, Hulk, and Spider Man knock offs running around now. It is so much worse now with multiple versions than it was in the 90's when there might be 1 knock off running around. Marvel is probably 25% knock of characters these days.

Every single one is wrong wrong wrong WRONG!

Um... if anything, Clones have become mainstream.
Lateness? Still there. We just don't complain about it anymore.
Pouches? Check.
Big guns? Maybe that raccoon got them all?
Armour is everywhere.
Jackets are common.
Bare-faced masks? Jean is still doing it!!!! And Havok.
Extreme is more extreme.
Bad artists with their bad anatomy come and go.
Same with horrible makeovers.
Pretty much everything Bendis was doing on Avengers was copycat. And Aaron is continuing the tradition-- 1000000BC Avengers?! Good grief!
Some companies are still doing the swimsuit issues... Zenescope and the like.
Sexualization is still happening... as if that's a bad thing.
All covers are gimmicks. If anything, it's worse today than ever.

What about bad comic movies?

What about bad comic movies?

DC has that covered.

[Scott Taylor]

Legacy heroes? Still happening today except its more focused on adding diversity.

[CliffHanger2]

Consistent creative teams. Action driven stories.

[TomServofan]

DC has that covered.

Yup you can say that.

[Jack Dracula]

DC has that covered.

I watched Batman v Superman DofJ again the other day and it was actually better than I'd remembered.
If that same film had come out in the 90's or even early 2000's it would've been a sensation.

[Gray Lensman]

That is partly off-topic as Mockingbird's baggy sleeves go back to the 80s. Also, baggy sleeves are great for storing snacks, and fighting evil makes a lady hungry.

Hostess snack cakes I presume, as they had several ads with the comic characters in the 1980's.

Weird faces and uncomfortable pants.

Look at Feral in that group shot.

It makes me realize that every X-Team had their own "savage" character. X-Men had Wolverine, of course. X-Force had Feral. X-Factor had Wolfsbane. Alpha Flight had Wild Child, until he ended up in X-Factor when Wolfsbane left (and then eventually they had Sabretooth, too). Excalibur may have been the exception, but then they briefly added Kylun to the team. I mean... it's like the weirdest diversity hire, isn't it?

But it seems like a lot of other new team books from indy publishers also always had a default Wolverine knock-off on the team, as well.

While it doesn't take way from the point, is that Feral?

While that stretch is a little foggy, it feels like she turns up later than that issue.

Also, it's that particular artist's work. Doesn't make it easy to tell who I believe that is and Feral apart.
