Ultimatum Edit Week 4: Day Five
June 11th, 2009 by Gavok | Tags: arcana, doctor doom, jeph loeb, kitty pryde, Marvel comics, nick fury, reed richards, ultimate edit, ultimatum, wolverine, zardaAs we last left our unfortunate heroes, Nick Fury is visited by Mr. Fantastic, Dr. Doom and Zarda. He doesn’t seem at all surprised to find out that the world is being torn apart in his absence, as he apparently warned Doom about it back in the day.
Hey, ever notice that the current Squadron Supreme series takes place five years after Ultimate Power, but only months have passed in the Ultimate Universe? What the hell is up with that?
ManiacClown and I will be back tomorrow to finish off the Kitty Pryde scene and finally get to some actual Magneto action. It’s about time.
My god, Finch is bad at drawing faces. This is probably the only reality wherein Kitty Pryde is the illegitimate daughter of Renée Zellweger.

I loved the Joe Besser line…and wonder how many people caught it.
The Ebay jokes were great. Even the “Night Court” card set. 😀
The crack about Logan just being a head and living…priceless. God that mini-series was crap!
by MLD June 11th, 2009 at 08:53 --replyWait, that was Kitty? I thought it was Mary Jane!
by Ultima June 11th, 2009 at 10:22 --replyNice ‘Black Snake Moan’ reference. My brother got me that on DVD for Christmas, but nothing about it makes me want to watch it. Should I? It looks bollocks, but not in a good way.
by Sads June 11th, 2009 at 12:47 --reply@Sads: It’s okay. Not great, but watchable. The whole thing about chaining her up, which they make you think is the entire movie, is really just a 20-minute segment.
by Gavok June 11th, 2009 at 13:17 --replyThanks! That does make it sound a lot better, actually. I’ll probably get around to watching it in the next month or so, now.
by Sads June 11th, 2009 at 13:34 --reply@Gavok: My wife and I dug it. It’s Big Sammy L getting to be a badass like usual, but in a different way. Plus, you know, the whole chaining of a scantily-clad Christina Ricci should appeal to any nerd guy’s inner Heavy Metal-watching 15-year-old regardless of why he does it.
by ManiacClown June 11th, 2009 at 13:39 --reply@Adam: Nope. All of the meetup has been in Ultimatum and it consists of “Doom grabs Reed from a minisub, suddenly they are in another universe”.
by Syrg June 11th, 2009 at 14:31 --reply@MLD: I caught it as an old timey joke that I’d probably know from too much Looney Tunes as a kid. But you’ve reminded me that I also know it as the worst Stooge’s catchphrase.
by HitTheTargets June 11th, 2009 at 21:59 --replyOh yeah!! Looney Tunes did use it. As I read your post, I remembered a huge elephant saying the phrase before punching another character. 😀
by MLD June 12th, 2009 at 08:13 --reply“I’ll never get good feedback.”
Outstanding. I actually LOL’d.
