Gay Men, Comic Books, and Geeking Out

[Sinestro]

So quick question for all of us who watch bleach, who is your favorite character so far?

For me I think I like Captain's Kyouraku and Ukitake.

Ha! I like them too, theyre like an old married couple (remember Shunsui's reaction when Wonderweiss gored Jushiro?). I'm crazy curious what each ones Bankai's are.

My fave Bleach characters are:

Rukia-cause she's kick ass.
Uryu-I love the whole Quincy thing.
Captain Komamura-I like his heart and how he overcame his shame in showing his true face. Awesome Bankai.
Lt. Hisagi-Cool Shikai & he's hot too LOL.
Shinji-My favorite Visard, his quickie fight with Grimmjow is one of my favorite moments in Bleach.

Just watched "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." Wallace, Scott's "cool gay roommate," is by far the most progressive gay character I've seen in years. If any of you haven't checked it out yet, you really should.

Yes I do remember that part, he rushed to help but Starrk blasts him from the back. I felt sorry for both of them. And I'm also curious for their bankai's.


GoldenMoth: May I ask why you Kon is your favorite?

@Krakenbwool: I saw Scott Pilgrim when it came out in theaters. I liked it, and it was pretty funny in some points. And Kieran played Wallace well.

Yeah, of course you can!

Love Scott Pilgrim! Wallace Wells was very well done. I thought the scene where he stills Scott's sister's boyfriend a bit stereotypical but it's a minor qualm in a great film.

 

[CaptainMellow]

Scott Pilgrim was an excellent movie, one of the best I saw this year. Too bad it didn't catch on more with mainstream audiences, and I don't expect any love when the Oscar noms are announced soon, which is too bad cause a best original song number by Sex Bob-omb would be kick ass LOL.

Avengers/Incredible Hulk marathon on right now on DisneyXD.

i have a fairly substantial comic book collection with emphasis on dc titles. most notably batman, green lantern, justice league and the like.

i've said it before i could probably write a master's thesis on my godzilla knowledge alone.

and i have a propensity for wearing comic book and geek themed t-shirts (*squee!*).

this one's a year old now but its me in my beloved "rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock" t.

[Sinestro]

Yeah, of course you can!

LOL. Well then, Why is Kon your favorite character?

Argh!! I wish my remote worked so I could watch Disney XD and all that. I like that avengers cartoon.

@CaptainMellow: I'm also looking forward to V and No Ordinary Family. And of course Young Justice.

 

[ADamnFool]

I liked Grimmjow.

 

[goldenmoth]

LOL. Well then, Why is Kon your favorite character?

I love Kon because he's so full of personality and I love his scenes with Ichigo. He's just so hilarious

 

[neoachilles]

Watching a marathon of Misfits online, and loving it. I am in love with that mouthy little prick, Nathan.

 

[Sinestro]

I liked Grimmjow.

May I ask why? I'm just curious is all.

I love Kon because he's so full of personality and I love his scenes with Ichigo. He's just so hilarious

I agree. Kon is really funny! I personally like his scenes with Rukia more.

 

[Hemsworthy]

I almost forgot Young Justice airs this Friday, thanks for the heads up, Capt. Mellow!

And hmm...favorite Bleach character? Most def. Kon. I especially liked when they had him lip-syncing the beginning of the 6th opening theme song lol.

 

[Sinestro]

Starkiller, that's one of my favorite openings and the only reason i remember the song is because of the way Kon lip-sync's to it.

And just to throw this out there I have had this song in my head since I found it a couple months ago.

GREAT THREAD!!! Glad to see it. There is a distinct shortage of outlets for the Gay and Geeky - which is why I started heroesnhunks.com/wordpress my NSFW gay geeks blog - mixing gay porn with comic book, video game and action figure news, reviews, previews. I hope you guys will visit and comment - the site has nearly 3 years of gay geeky content to browse thru - I hope to see some comments from you guys!

I've been reading comics for over 25 years (git hooked reading the Dark Phoenix saga and The New Neet Titans arc known as The Judas Contract.

I read dozens of titles. Some current faves are:
X-Factor
Young Avengers: The Children's Crusade
Enjoying the rebooted Avengers Titles (some more than others)
Usually a big X-fan as well... but not that excited by current events - interested in the upcoming Age of X
Very happy that the Teen Titans title is shaping up for the first time since One Year Later.
Loved Blackest Night - and Brighest Day rocks thus far

Also a big fan of geeky TV...

Young Justice pilot that aired was great - i hope new episodes will go up on cartoonnetworks site - but not holding my breath.
V was awesome - so cool that original V baddie - Diana is the imprisoned Queen Mother.
GLEE - muscial theatre gleeks unite!
Smallville - lets see Tom don the cape in Season 10
Supernatural - Wincest is best
Vampire Diaries - I watch for Ian Sommerholder - yum - my fave bad boy of late.
30 Rock - Lemon speaks to me - and Jack has the best lines on TV

Tried to get into No Ordinary Family but don't love it yet.
Looking forward to The Cape.

Also love to do a bit of gayming. I'm a die-hard player of City of Villains (I like the red side of the game better for some reason) and founder of villain group - The Obsidian Oath (we're recruiting - on Virtue server). I've alos made brief forays into some other MMORPGs - played Wow til I got a lvl 75 Rogue his flying dragon mount - they quit playing. Also tried Champions online - but returned to City of Villains after just a few weeks of play.

Used to play DnD with some local buddies, but part of the entourage moved outside of town and now we just don't get together to play anymore. See each other so seldom that we'd rather just party and talk when we get together.

 

[CaptainMellow]

Actually I've been a fan of H&H for a long time, great site, love the intersection of hardcore porn and comic books LOL.
