BornIn1142

Name: Kaarel Jakobson

Bio: An idealistic cynic, a hopeful pessimist, a stupid intellectual... Truly, BornIn1142 is a man of contradictions. Hey, is anyone actually going to read this? I'd be surprised.I'm a guy from Estonia (and I don't blame you for not knowing where that is) currently studying in Scotland. There's really not much more to say. Comics and anime are my two main interests, but I'm also an 'aspiring writer' in the same sense as half the Internet seems to be. Mostly novels/prose, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't loooove getting into the comics business. I'm a bit of a douchebag, as you'll notice.

    What’s Wrong With You? The Hank Pym Issue
    February 17, 2012 5:39 pm Yes, that's precisely the point. According to this article, there's something wrong with the people who get over this ridiculous and tiresome hang-up, as opposed to the far more reasonable people that LET an incidental writer's whim from decades ago "ruin" a character for them and refuse to see the big picture. How does this make sense? It doesn't.

    What’s Wrong With You? The Hank Pym Issue
    February 17, 2012 1:49 pm This must be the first time that a What's Wrong With You? article rails FOR the very attitude I would expect a What's Wrong With You article to rail AGAINST. This attitude that one mistake - disproportionately small compared to other ones from the same storyline - renders the character beyond redemption is frankly shocking to me. In the context of real life, it's even slightly disturbing. For the record, Josh, do you regard Spider-Man and Mr. Fantastic as "ruined" characters as well?

    The Most Dysfunctional Comic Book Romances
    February 16, 2012 12:08 pm I'm sorry, what? Is that last one supposed to make some kind of really satirical point or am I supposed to take the disingenuous ignorance at face value?

    DC Announces ‘Before Watchmen’ (UPDATE)
    February 1, 2012 7:54 am Wow. I knew they were making a prequel, but I wasn't prepared for such a thorough round of milking.

    January 21, 2012 10:18 am I'm sorry, but those are some pretty weak rationalizations for a weak drawing...

    January 19, 2012 6:20 pm In fact, it's downright terrible. Selina's spine is impossibly bendy, her upper and lower body are off-kilter and her leg literally seems to do a 180 degree turn at the knee. The heck is going on there? o_O
