Jesus, now Loeb's passing off cliched-in-one-go, over-the-top movie lines. Whats sad is Terminator was probably playing in the background and he subconciously threw that line in. God, I hope it wasn't a conscious, thought-out decision...but then again, nothing in Ultimates 3 seems that way, so it makes sense given the overall ridiculous nature of this title.
Im pretty sure they have editors who read these things before they print it. If nobody went up to Loeb and said 'hey man, you realise you are quoting a movie line every ******* comicbook reader knows, right?' someone isnt doing their job.
In theory, I agree wholeheartedly. In practice, either no such job exists, OR (more likely) Loeb has been given free reign. Obviously, there exists no one who likes the line 'Come with me if you want to live' in this context. We've established that Loeb does not know that. The odds of several OTHER people not knowing that AND those people being hired as editors are VERY low - zero. Therefore, Loeb has been given free reign.
I'm sorry.
Hmmmmm, I thought it was a girl, must've been Bachalo's art. (normally I like Bachalo's art, but In Ultimate War it was kinda incomprehensible)Really? When was that? I can't remember.
Thats how I remembered it. I'm still wondering about the female Unus Gemini is talking about.
The Accuser?Is Black Panther...
Ronan?
Im gonna have to admit that I havent got a clue how this works at Marvel. I just assumed the people who are listed under the 'editor' line at the start of an issue are editors in the traditional way; they point out flaws in the writing and the art. (does it normally work like that?).
Is that the Karate Kid Ralph Machio?
Has it been revealed yet who Black Panther is?

OK here's the plan...
We all meet up somewhere outside of New York City. Where, I'm not sure, because the closest I've ever been to New York City is Detroit. (Actually, I've been IN NYC but it was in a waiting room at JFK airport on a layover to Shannon, Ireland). Perhaps one of you northeastern types can give me some advice on a good meet-up spot.
Moving right along...
We storm the offices of Marvel Entertainment in full tactical gear, which I'm appointing VVD to procure through his connections in the military. You can do that, right VVD? That's how it always works in the movies: "Yeah I know this guy who used to be in the service, he can get us some RPGs and stuff". Houde, since you're a "scientist" I will give you the duty of looking smart with some gadgets that nobody will understand, but will perhaps keep DHS from coming at us too soon.
Next order of business... I'm going to strap some knives to my hands and bust through the front door, ripping the building apart until I get to Loeb's office. We're going to kidnap Loeb and remove him from the premesis (WHO'S DRIVING THE VAN!?) and then we're going to brainwash him. Brainwash him for what? Well I'm glad you asked.
We're going to brainwash him to write better comics. Seriously. I'm tired of this garbage and it seems like they have Loeb lined-up to write ever major comic book on the Marvel Comics roster. This is simply unacceptable. That's like giving Marvel Comics over to Rob Liefeld and Jim Lee (oh wait).
If the brainwashing doesn't take, we'll re-kidnap him and re-brainwash him. Except that Operation: Loebwasher Part Deux will end with Loeb believing he is the janitor for Nathan's.
OK LET'S GO!

I can easily brainwash him.
I can dramatically alter anyone's perceptions and beliefs with just a drop of the pants.
