Welcome to Gaia! ::

I would love to hear your analysis of Pirates vs. Ninjas from Antarctic Press. I'm sure you've got to have a genius twist of philosophy on ninjas as well.

I'm surprised you haven't thrown the original post for this thread on your blog at all. Especially right after your Batman is back to being interesting piece. That would sure throw a wrench into the gears for your readers.

I've been reading this thread for 4 pages to determine how serious you are. I have come to the conclusion that you're straight nuts and it's awesome.

Ninjas I'm OK with. Sure they were assassins and couldn't fight for s**t, but they did their work and didn't make a stink about it. I skipped the Antarctic Press comic as I'm sure it would be some flotsam about sword fights and rum. In actuality if a pirate and a ninja ever did 'battle' the pirate would most likely attempt to rape the ninja (most ninjas were women) and the ninja would let the pirate think he's got the upper hand and at that point kill the worthless b*****d.

He's both deadly serious and a dangerous fanatic. You should hear this guy on the subject of pirates, who he hatefully claims are "rapists and murderers" rather than the dashing and glamourous buccaneers that history knows them to be.
But they were Rapist, crooks and murderers. And all Cowboys did was chase cattle around. Princesses were mostly used as bargaining chips between kings. And Knights and Samurai were actually really mean most of the time. And Mongol Warriors knew nothing about breakdancing.

Real life kinda sucks.

What about Chinese pirates? Not only were they more likely to ENCOUNTER ninjas, they were about half crewed by women. (Sailing wasn't just for men in the South China Sea- whole families lived on boats, so piracy could become the family business.) Cheng I Sao, the woman who presided over the most successful confederation of pirates in history, had extremely strict codes about things like rape. (ie, heads got whacked off.) Plus, drinking wine mixed with gunpowder is WAY COOLER than swilling rum like those Caribbean buccaneer shmucks. User Image Really, there ought to be more Asian pirates in these comics. They're much better role models than the raggedy bands of rum-soaked freebooters in the Caribbean. (Sorry, PinderPanda.)

I hereby call for a letter writing campaign to Disney to do away with Johnny Depp and his movies glorifying rapist thugs. These horrible movies shall be replaced by a new franchise of Chinese pirates starring Michelle Yeoh. It'll teach valuable qualities like the importance of family and proper swordplay.

Pretty much anytime the subject of Johns was broached. Look, I understand. You're wanting to distance yourself from him as a fan now that it's been revealed that he promotes necrophilia.

Yaaaay! pirate
if this thread is a really drawn out attempt at satire... it's not funny.
Satire isn't supposed to be funny.

Yes. I'm really put off by the 'zombie invasion' of Marvel and DC.
As well you should be. I urge you to write letters to their editors and tell them to stop this sort of nonsense before someone gets hurt.
This is an interesting thread...it's clear that Marty is very much serious about his 'batman-is-a-vampire' theory, but, even if Batman is a symbol for attracting people to vampires, why not let them? It's probably than some of the other crap society wants us to be, nowadays...

Now, I honestly shouldn't mention this, but, (directed at Marty) my personal favorite comic book character happens to be Raven from the (Teen) Titans. Are you going to tell me that I am now destined to become a vampire fanatic, a Satan worshiping occult member, or something else?

And I do agree that pirates were not happy, nice looking people, they were scary murderers and rapists...at least, I think so...even though I'm a total sucker for Adam & The Ant's pirate garb/theme. wink
