i like do know the exact reason why dani is always lighter on comic covers than in the comic itself and like. obviously there's the thing of the colorists not coordinating character designs with the cover artists etc etc but like. it's also just bc marvel thinks that a dark-skinned indigenous woman will sell worse than a light skinned one. like lowkey that's kinda it.
I wonder if “we have to torture this special character. in the lab facility. with secret science.” is an interest all 12-year-old children share or were we just the generation exposed to Maximum Ride
ALTYou’re right. How could I forget to credit anime for its role in putting the special character in the secret torture facility (for science).
Genuine question: Isn't this just Bond villainy and/or medieval torture dungeon? Or what kind of facility are we talking about?
The Facility is a critically important part here. See it’s a Science Facility. It’s run by a very shady clandestine organization, which is incredibly powerful. They’re maybe part of the government, or if not the government then something Illuminati-like.
As such The Facility is very high tech, and likely buried underground or hidden somewhere no normal person can access. The Torture being done is for Science, which the Facility is for. It’s all scientists in lab coats doing the torture. There is so much lab equipment and probably a lot of devices hooked up to the special character which will beep and go off the charts when the special character has a violent mind explosion. This part is important.
A lot of really good mentions in the notes here
- Mewtwo
- Secrets of Nimh
- Wolverine
- Akira
- Elfen Lied
- Shadow the Hedgehog
And a special mention to the couple of people identifying that a 12-year-old stuck in school all day is, perhaps, in a way, a special character being tortured in the science facility.
i think to get into (superhero) comic books you kinda do have to get over yourself and be fine with not always knowing the full context. stop being afraid of not knowing who all the characters are or what happened beforehand and just jump into reading whatever you want and learn everything along the way. stop being intimidated by there being a lot of comic book, that's a good thing
