Super Freak
These threads tend to break down into a bunch of comic geeks *****ing over a product they just bought, even though they had every opportunity not to. So if both Superman threads continue like this, then yeah, I'm gonna lurk and post infrequently. I don't need to see post after post of the same redundant comment about one thing.
That goes for every thread on this entire site though. Also if you're reading this right now you are firmly planted into the "comic geek" category.
Funnily enough, it's not the negative comments that usually bring threads down in my experience. People are usually happy discussing the pro and cons and weighing up their options. Fights usually start when people take criticism as some kind of personal attack (read spidey).
It's all down to perception. Some people see a thread full of hate and negative comments. I see a bunch of blokes having a laugh and telling it how it is. Regardless we're all in for $400.
You're mock up is better. I could live with the flame/twiggles/smoke effect if it was clear there was a set of eye ball-s in the head like appears in you're photo shop.
The main problem for me is that as far as we can tell from the proto, he has no eye's.
EDIT: Can we approve the use of the word B A L L S. At least just for this thread!!!! Why is that even on the list!
