Smeagle, OSC, heroclix

Smeagol sings Mad World, New developments in the Orson Scott Card fiasco, and then I will find something else  Short intro click jump.
What goes on in Smeagle's head after he loses the ring. Well this may be a small little snippet of inside Smeagol's mind w

If you got pat that face right there at the beginning you might have watched a rather interesting video. I think it was well done. I love Lord of the Rings and Mad World and someone needs to animate this video. Maybe do a few more takes to smooth out some parts.

Okay. distraction over. I just wanted to start you out with something nicer. We now move on to more sensitive matters. While I promised to try to not offend anybody. I'm not avoiding subjects.

Orson Scott Card. Nobody denies that he as severely against equal rights for homosexuals. He is on the board for a group that put up 1.8 million dollars in support for proposition 8 (a California amendment to the constitution that made same sex marriage illegal.) Orson Scott Card was recently hired to write a short story for a Superman digital comic that is also getting published as part of the larger collection.

Many people were outraged. Some were outraged because they didn't want DC to be giving their money to a man who spends his money (not just his opinions) an inequality for mankind. Some people felt that Orson Scott Card would not be able/worthy to write a story about a man who stands for truth, justice and the American way. Some just like yelling and had no idea what we were yelling about.

I personally have only read the original Ender's Game. I can look at the critic scores on his books though and see that he fell of the supreme story writing wagon. I can see how DC would want to hire a man who wrote such stories to write a super man comic. The man is a well known name in the Sci-Fi novel scene. He might even be able to write good comics. The problem here is the large number of fans that are uncomfortable buying something that was made by OSC. The idea of their money going into his pocket and to his causes disturbs them and they wish DC just hadn't made that decision.

Here is the new development though. Because of all the controversy, Chris Sprouse will not illustrate the comic. Frankly he is going to have a hard time now after that happened getting an artist to do it. The people have made their point. The comic has been pushed back. You can read better articles about it here

Chris Sprouse.  Nope. That isn't a link. That is me breaking the article. Here is the raw link. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2013/03/05/chris-sprouse-orson-scott-card-superman-comic/1964845/



Last thing I want to talk about is actually not Heroclix. I mean I do want to get into Heroclix but I just threw that in the title for no raison. I want to talk about Ultron. In case you didn't know, Ultron is coming back. This means I want the runaways to come back too. Or.... if they runaways already came back someone to point this out to me. The runaways were cool. they jumped through time and space and shit in a mother fucking frong. FROG. They didn't use a magic ancient artifact that was a living golden frog or anything like T'challa does. No. They had a bad ass frog shaped time machine with a cool as name. What was it called you ask. You will have to read the comics because it is totally not on the wikipedia. 

Do you now how is on the runaways. Ultron's son. Do you know who Ultron is? He is a robot. Pure 100.001%  ROBOT. That mother fucker had a son. NOM may not want same sex couples to be able to adopt but a bad ass robot totally had a son. Then his son decided to be a good guy. Probably his mother's doing. He had a mother. TELL ME WHATS NEXT, ROBOT SEX.  

So yeah. I'm going to be reading a lot of vUltron and misleading you about what happened.
