Either the front page or board post? Or prevent you from reading or commenting in those threads? No. Your need to post everywhere lately on what's "fitting" for the site is the only thing wasting your time and pulling you away from it.
I was writing it as the news broke. No one is going to open the website and miss the front page headline and not get the news (and it's hardly news that needs multiple threads discussing it, so what's already on the site will do the job). Other than this the hottest topics of the day are all Meta. Lighten up, Francis.

Rather than the Gardner threads. I mean, if you're not getting enough "happy joy" animated gifs it's your own fault (because that's the kind of discussion you're missing). But since you ask 4 posts before this you've been giving your 2 cents on policing the boards with this:
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/moderator-action-sticky-1#comment-1954917
And just earlier today (not two months ago) this:
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/ot-you-have-no-shot-kate-upton#comment-1954779
That's the truth. And not truth, but opinion- someone who starts up an old flame war on Rich Rod probably shouldn't be the guy judging what's fitting or not for the boards.
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/devin-gardner-granted-medical-redshirt#comme...
But hey, flamebaiting Rich Rod is such great discussion on "Michigan Football's biggest day of the off-season" have at it. Just don't act like a moral authority when that's what you're bringing instead.

You sir, are an idiot. It's official. The mod-action sticky is intended explicitly for board-worthiness discussion. The comment in the torpedoed Kate Upton thread was a question to see if I were in the minority or if others agreed. And, finally, the RR discussion in the Gardner thread is unavoidable - he was responsible for using Gardner in 2010 in the first place, leading to the uncertainty.
So yeah, how many times did I suggest caving threads again? That's what I thought.

Where did I say you were suggesting threads be caved?
I just said you can't help comment on what is "worthy" on the boards. The funny part being that the Gardner threads you promote as being so important are the exact home for the kind of Upton gifs you decry.
And Rich Rod was only unavoidable because you brought it up. No one else did in two threads. Because our coach of three years ago shouldn't overshadow Gardner's good news. But much like you can't stop yourself from reading and posting here, you couldn't stop yourself from throwing out some flamebait and then act all shocked when someone bites. That kind of stuff distracts from the news far more than an OT post and is truly idiotic.

Thanks for a great post.
I think "Butterfield" is becoming a walking advertisement of why the old posbang/negbang system should be reinstated. I don't always understand some of the negging that goes on, but when someone with Butterfield's body of work attacks someone with M-Wolverine's body of work, it's definitely neg-worthy.
Anyway, thanks for the trailer; I was thoroughly entertained. I know this sounds a bit simplistic, but if I didn't want to click, I simply would have looked at the "OT" and moved on. Instead, there seems to be a small element here that wants to turn every OT post into a meta referendum on OT posts.
Maybe there should be a meta referendum sticky post for the people who whine about OT using bandwidth on things that are irrelevant, when their whining is doing exactly what they are whining about: using bandwidth on things that are irrelevant.

I don't expect every thread to be a 900 post open game epic. Some are just for fun. And if the post got more positive votes than negative enough people were interested than not. It's the off season, and the site skews a little "geek", and this is one of the biggest movies of the summer. As I'm getting the links and typing it up, I hear on the radio about Devin. After "Yay!" I think "boy, this thread is dead in the water now" but not "man, now no one is going to read about Devin if I post this." For those who weren't aware, just some fun info to kill time between Devin and the inevitable open thread that was coming for OSU/Indiana.
So you don't have to post. I post it for you because I figure there are enough people around here who enjoy it. Obviously I have no problem taking the hits so you don't have to.

I'm curious to see how they'll use the Mandarin's rings of power.

Looks great though, and rumors of an Ant-Man introduction in the post credits, so I'm excited.

That's what I'm reading. They say that they won't cross over with The Avengers at all, but I wouldn't be surprised if they end up being a piece of left over tech from the Chiutauri.

What we're trying to figure out is how they translate that into the movies, particular an Iron Man movie that other than being in the Avengers has tried to be a bit more reality based than the others.

I've recently heard different on the post credit scene. Read on for a maybe, possible spoiler.....................Tony receives an SOS signal from space by someone named Star Lord. He dons a new space armor and takes off. That's it. The SOS will be explained in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Tony will meet the Guardians in their movie's post credit scene. There they will explain that the SOS was a warning that Thanos is headed towards Earth. That sets up Avengers 2.

The post-trailer teaser after Avengers showed the aliens talking about Earth being the place of death and all (oops sorry if you haven't seen it yet) (and, um, why haven't you seen the Avengers yet?), in the context of IM3. But... I don't see any aliens in the trailer. Did they change their minds? Was the teaser just like Tina from my sophomore year in HS -- a total tease and nothing more? Or was that not for IM3 but another one of the movies?

A question for fellow comic
A question for fellow comic nerds. Did any of you actually read any of the Iron Man series prior to the movies? He always seemed like such an uninteresting character apart from any of the Avengers plotlines, I could never get into them the way I could for the X-Men or Spiderman. The movies really seem to show that he's a much more important character to the Marvel Universe than I'd ever realized before the films.

Nope

Never read Iron Man.I never read the Avengers comics either. To me they were too goody two shoes. Kinda corporate super heroes with their switchboard operators and adulation. The only thing I read that they were in was the Secret Wars series. The only comic that i read then was X-Men. I liked the whole dark ousider thing they had. Oddly though I'm not a fan of the X-Men movies except for First Class. Characters were either underutilized or didn't act like the comics. Fox really messed the franchise up. They should have used stories from the comic's classic era. Then while I didn't read Avengers comics I love the Marvel Studio movies for Avengers, Iron Man ,etc. They took great care tying the solo movies together and building up to Avengers. It was refreshing in an era of churning crap out to get a quick buck.

I'm on the other side...I was always more Avengers than X-Men
I'm on the other side...I was always more Avengers than X-Men
I mean, as a kid Spidey was king (insert Spiderman tv show theme here). And loved the Hulk, in comics and tv. But I didn't really get into the X-Men until later. Though my early exposure to the Avengers was the Marvel Super Heroes tv show taken right from the comics...literally...and X-Men probably not till the role playing game came out, and they looked weird. But they had this guy with a really cool name....Wolverine....and for awhile he was the only one I really liked (Nightcrawler too. Cyclops is a dick). I mean, when I started, Beast was an Avenger. And when that cartoon had Cap, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Sub-Mariner they were cool.
And while in Marvel Iron Man was never first string with me with Spidey, Hulk, Cap, and even later guys like the Punisher, I always liked him. He is/was actually my brother's favorite, so some bias leaked over I'm sure. He was James Bond as a superhero. Cool, got the ladies, had the money. And he had some of the best regular continuity story arcs that came AFTER the early Lee-Kirby days. A lot of titles suffered through the 70's and 80's...Iron Man got better.
Since the movie became popular he's become less of a B lister and more of a Marvel A- lister, but the first movie may be the most perfect comic book movie too. It may not be as good a film as a Dark Knight, but to represent comics on the big screen, fun and all, you can't do too much better. (Though Avengers was the little kid in me coming back out again....wow, all these characters, on the big screen, TOGETHER). And mostly because they have Robert Downey Jr. What Marvel has done is adapt things for the big screen, but really do a GREAT job casting. That's not true for all the other movies. I even doubted them when they cast Chris Evans as Cap, and then the movie amazed me with all the heart it had in it. Everyone has a blunder eventually. No one bats a thousand. Even Pixar did Cars 2. But till they completely screw one up, I'm with them.
But then what do I know, my favorite character is Dr. Doom.

I completely agree that Iron
I completely agree that Iron Man really started Marvel on a path to good films, you could argue before it came out that Marvel really only had a good showing with X2 and possibly the first X-Men.
Obviously this is really only going to be just opinions clashing but I think the X-Men comics were the perfection of the comic book world. They had vast collection of interesting main (Wolverine/Iceman/Nightcrawler) characters and plenty of even more intriguing secondary characters(Bishop/Cable/Sunspot) and probably the best collection of villains (Magneto/Apocalypse/Bastion/Mr Sinister/The Government). I really don't think anything comes close to what Kirby and Lee accomplished as to when they created the X-Men.
You weren't the only one leery of Chris Evans being cast as Cap, after seeing him as the Human Torch and basically every other role he's been in it was hard to imagine him as the ever vigil Captain, but he pulled it off very well. Assuming you like the F4 because Doom is your favorite character but, do you think they'll reboot that series at some point ala the Amazing Spiderman? Because those F4 were the epitome of terrible Marvel movies, and Galactus as a giant cloud.....SMH. Anyways it's nice to some other comic nerds as well.

I concur about X-Men being perfection for a time
I concur about X-Men being perfection for a time
I think the Chris Clairmont written era of X-Men wa the most popular any era of any comic has ever been. From the mid 70's to the mid 80's. They dwarfed the Avengers. That's why it disappointed me so much that they messed up the movies. They should have been bigger than the Avengers movie. They were popular to a degree but the Avengers was a phenomenom(and rightfully so). Here's what i would have done. Make the First class 60's era movie first. Then do the modern day era trilogy. With the first of those they could use artistic license to bring the new team together because the whole mutantt island thing in the comics has too many people. I would have Magneto and the Brotherhood about to do something big and Xavier only has Cyclops and Phoenix. So they recruit the classic era linup(Wolverine, Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Ariel, and Rogue). They come together as a team and beat The Brotherhood. At the end you see Phoenix start to get a little unstable. In the second movie you use the storyline where they fight the Hellfire Club lead by Sebastan Shaw. They win but as in the comic the Club unwittingly unleashes Dark Phoenix. Then in the 3rd one it is the storyline of the fight for Phoenix. Phoenix is destroying civilizationns across the universe. All the races unite and send their best warriors to unite and kill her. The X-Men are protective and stand up to them. It's decided that the 2 teams will be dropped on a moon to fight. The winner decides her fate. The X-Men actually lose and Phoenix kills herself because she knows she can't control the power anymore. A dark ending which I loved. Then if there's a demand for a fourth I guess you can go on. Maybe the Days of Future Past story which they're making now. But I do the Dark Phoenix saga to start off. But Fox messed it up IMO.
I understand this type of post and have no problems with random topics when the board is dead.
But damn, probably the best news Michigan football will receive all off-season just occured approximately 15 minutes ago. Iron Man can wait until we calm down, dontcha think?
