I've Got To Tell You, In My Loudest Tones

What's that title mean? {Nothing. I'm just having a hard time coming up with good titles for your posts, so I decided to just use song lyrics. Graeme McMillan at the Savage Critic does it all the time, he's just better at tying them to the subject than I am.} Okey-doke, so you're gonna help out? {You know it. Let's kick this thing off!}

Well then I'm going to give Deadpool some Applause and a Hug. He really did want to help Cable out, even if Cable was more concerned with protecting Deadpool, and he hit that whip guy with a stoplight. {True, that was hilarious. And painful looking.} Yeah, but now it looks like he lost his best friend, so I bet he's sad, and that's why he gets a hug. {Ah, Wade'll be fine. A little beer, a few Maude reruns, some senseless violence for a good or profitable cause, he'll be just dandy.}

{Hmm, if you want a big pop from the crowd, better give Gambit a Bonk.} Really? {Yeah, nobody really seems to like Gambit.} Well, it wasn't very sporting of him and Sunfire to gang up on Cable like that, but it doesn't seem like there's anything left of them to bonk, but okay, Bonk for their ashes. {One other thing, it's a Gambit complaint I've heard often. You're an experienced warrior. Tell the folks why a person whose main power is to essentially turn anything into a grenade would also carry a staff.} That's easy; because you won't always have the distance between you and your enemy to use your long-range weapon, so it pays to have something to defend yourself with in close combat situations, until you can get farther away. {Thank you. What's next?}

Bonk for Pietro and Applause for Callisto. Callisto kept Marrow from getting her powers back until they learned it would kill them, but Pietro gets a bonk because he still blames other people when his plans don't work. It isn't that they 'lack vision', it's that your plan is terrible, and won't work!

Bonk for Davos, because he killed a guy who wasn't even trying to defend himself, and because he's the cheater, not Danny! Bad guys never notice when they say stupid things like that! {Not very often, and if they do, they won't admit it. I guess part of being a villain is never admitting you were wrong.} Hug for Danny, who doesn't get to try and find his friend that got kidnapped. Danny doesn't know Jeryn had been helping HYDRA, does he? {Don't think so, but I don't think that would change anything. Danny would know it was under duress, and save him anyway.} Yeah, you're right! Go Danny, win the {Tenkaichi Budokai}! Hey, I didn't call it that! {No, but that's what I'm calling it. Next time you type the post, you can call it the other name if you want.} Phooey. I'm going to end with Applause for the Colleen, Luke and Misty, since they all showed up to help Danny. I hope Misty and Colleen don't get in trouble for helping an unregistered hero. {Technically, Danny is registered as a lethal weapon. He just isn't working for SHIELD. Plus, Danny didn't hire them, so no big.} Good. They should watch their language though. They curse too much. {Well, the Heroes for Hire don't fu, uh, fudge around. Mmmm, Fudge Rounds.} You're drooling on the keyboard. {Huh? Darn. Hand me a paper towel would you? Thanks much. Anything else?} Not really.

I'm almost ashamed to admit how many times I've ripped off song and album titles for my posts ...

Awwww...Deadpool does indeed deserve a hug. Heck, Cable could probably use one too.

Kyle Rayner REALLY could use a hug. Sinestro kidnapped him, beat him up, took away his powers and infected him with Parallax. He's not having a particularly good day.

A bonk to the Guardians, (except Ganthet and Sayd) for being omnipotent, but stupid.

A bonk to all the X-men for being incomprehensible.

A bonk to Tony Stark! You KNEW that was coming.

fortress keeper: Hm, I had never noticed that. My music fu is very poor.

sallyp: Watch out, you just gave marvel the idea for their next ongoing, the Incomprehensible X-Men! Every issue will involve discussions of exactly what future Cable is from, what's up with psylocke, redefine the relationship between Logan and Sabretooth, and talk about whether Jean is herself, or the Phoenix, or a clone, or all three at once, and so on. It'll be awesome!

Calvin, I wouldn't put it past them.

The Incomprehensible X-Men?

Isn't that essentially the 90s?
