Breaking Down the Comics: Disguises
Moon Knight, Issue # 19: Assault on Island Strange
We continue the fight!Ā
And he looks a little tattered there in the cover. Which... You learn that the more beat up gets the better the fight. He fights the best when he's just obliterated.Ā
In fact, that's a very familiar pose... Any time they want to tear him up a bit, they always rip up the knee and thigh.
The story opens with an airstrip in Lebanon where terrorist recruits are meeting up.Ā
Moon Knight crashes the party.Ā
He glides in, easily mistaken as a ghost (a common theme in early comics). They shoot at him, terrified.Ā
"This is the closest I've ever come to a kamikaze glide... No doubt about that... But time was running out and I coudn't figure out any other option!" - Moon Knight demonstrating his lack of forethought into his own safety.Ā
He is trying to figure out how to get on the plane that will take the recruits to Nimrod Strange's island so he can infiltrate it.Ā
Now.... He could have EASILY snuck his way in as Marc Spector. A well known Merc in the field with brutal and effective tactics.... But Marc is also not careful about his 'secret' identity as Moon Knight and his name IS starting to make its way through the circles.Ā
But then we wouldnāt have this lovely display of Moon Knightās sense of humor/wit.Ā
Moon Knight takes care of the last of the guards then runs to the side where he meets up with Frenchie and Marlene.Ā
He instructs them to "give me Spector's Clothes."Ā
Marlene tries to warn him about something but Marc snaps that he has no time and starts to change. He assumes a fake ID (with a Lockle's mustache and some glasses).Ā
He assumes the I.D. of "Yitzak Topol". That's an interesting choice in name....Ā
He, Marlene, and Frenchie are posing as Revolutionaries with "colorful and checkered pasts.Ā
They gather with the other recruits in the back of a truck before the guards return.Ā
One of the guards remarks that he didn't see a 'ghost' but a woman! That's what Marlene was trying to warn him about.Ā
The guards are too concerned about arguing amongst themselves and get in the truck.Ā
They eventually board a plane after having their credentials checked. They have papers given to them from the government agency that they met up with in Jerusalem in the last issue.Ā
Meanwhile, a well armed ship stays just outside the island's patrol range. It's the government people that sent Marc and friends in.Ā
The men wait anxiously and argue. One is upset about sending in civilians, one tries to reassure the others that Marc knows what he's doing.Ā
The first brings up the fact that Marc Spector has worked both sides of the field, both good and bad depending on who paid the best.Ā
The second assures them that Marc was friends with their top man, who was killed by Nimrod's men.Ā
The first is now double worried about Marc going in full of emotions and an eye for revenge.Ā
Back on the island, Nimrod Strange goes to greet the new recruits. He is, as always, flanked by his three lady bodyguards.Ā
He comments again that his blond one is getting too slow and needs to be replaced.Ā
Nimrod looks over the recruits and asks who they are and their past political affiliations.Ā
Marlene gives her cover story and Nimrod notes that she fits the bill to be his new body guard.Ā
He decides to test her and sicks his three ladies against her.Ā
Now this is where respect for Marlene comes from. She's always shown skill in protecting herself. Moon Knight has never had to 'rescue' this damsel. She always ends up saving him.Ā
She was trained with guns when she helped her father on dangerous digs. She learned self defense and then Steven insisted that she learn how to fight. She's parried with Marc countless times and she's also quite smart.Ā
Marlene makes quick work of her attacker and passes the test. She's now a personal bodyguard for Nimrod.Ā
One might imagine that the replaced bodyguard is quite bitter.Ā
She notes Marc and Frenchie talking together and taking interest in Marlene. She's instantly suspicious.Ā
Meanwhile, Nimrod reveals to Marlene that he has a new position for himself too. He has a new outfit full of weapons and the likes and calls himself "Arsenal".Ā
He demonstrates his new killing tools. He has the sniper weapon, the throwing knives, the nunchaks, the firearms, and the garrot that all the former leaders had (see previous issues where Moon Knight kicked ass).Ā
He is now his own slayer elite.Ā
He reveals that in two weeks the new recruits will be ready to strike against Tokyo, Lebanon, Poland, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Buenos Aires, South Africa and Manhattan.Ā
While the recruits are settling in, the angry former bodyguard has gotten her hands on the original recruit list.Ā
She takes count and notes that there are three more than there should be. Not to mention that there is no woman on the list.Ā
Frenchie and Moon Knight slip out at night, Frenchie to check out the planes and Moon Knight in search of the weapons.Ā
Moon Knight sabotages the guns and Frenchie works on all the planes.Ā
Moon Knight goes to check out how Marlene is doing only to find Nimrod with his tongue down her throat, celebrating her initiation.Ā
So he kicks their plan into high gear a little early.Ā
The ex-body guard has her own plan. She raises the alarm about there being two infiltrators and plans to take care of Marlene herself.Ā
Yeah, she can't even win in a training fight against the other two bodyguards, how's she going to beat Marlene?Ā
And yeah, she tries to get the drop on Marlene an Marlene kicks her ass before Nimrod notices anything strange.Ā
Out on the base, Frenchie sets off a detonator and blows up all but one of the airplanes.Ā
They plan to use the last plane to blow up the armory.Ā
There's a lot going on here.Ā
The plane takes off, Moon Knight flying.Ā
This...this is why Moon Knight should not be allowed near anything that flies.Ā
He can't get the plane working right so he decides to just.... crash the plane into the armory.Ā
I'm not going to count this under the tally for 'moon copter/plane crash', but.... Maybe there should be a talley for the number of times Marc/Moon Knight has used a vehicle as a weapon by crashing it into his target.Ā
The resulting explosion signals the government guys to move in on the island.Ā
Meanwhile, Nimrod, now calling himself Arsenal, believes correctly that the island is under attack. He grabs his nearest bodyguard (Marlene) and makes a run for it.Ā
Moon Knight drops in and confronts him.Ā
"You killed my oldest friend--among other things you've done to me and mine. I'm here to avenge those things."Ā
Not very specific there, Marc. Just there for general revenge, huh?Ā
Blinded by revenge, Arsenal uses the opportunity to attack. He lobs a grenade and Moon Knight deflects it but still takes a major hit. He's down for the count.Ā
Marlene is whisked away, attempting to keep up her secret identity, knowing she's the 'only link to Strange's future movements.'Ā
In the remaining rubble, they find a map of Manhattan with major bridges and tunnels marked off, implying they plan to cut off Manhattan island from the rest of New York and hold it hostage.Ā
End of this issue! One more to go in the saga of Nimrod Strange!Ā
This one was action heavy and kinda bland compared to the major themes and imagery in the previous issues.Ā
It served to show and highlight Marleneās abilities to hold her own and her value. It also showed Marcās temper a bit and how he can get so caught up in revenge that he loses sight of everything else around him.Ā
It could have touched on that more, but it had a very complicated plot for Marc to carry out.Ā
I also found it interesting that Marcās chosen disguise had him looking a lot like a young version of his father.Ā
He dons the disguise easily and you have to wonder if this was something he had to do a lot back in the day or something new heās learned to do. Iād wager itās new. Marc Spector the Mercenary was not a man of disguises and not well known enough to need disguises.Ā
It wasnāt till Jake put on the mustache that Marc learned the value of changing his face. Now itās very easy for him.Ā
In fact, heās the only one that DOES put on a disguise. Frenchie and Marlene go as they are and only change their names. While Nimrod knows about Marc Spector, he has not seen his face. And even if he had done research into him, youād think heād know what Frenchie and Marlene looked like too.Ā
So the fact that Marc puts on such a disguise could be his own idea. His own way to feel more comfortable. To remind himself that heās on a mission and canāt be Marc Spector right now. And when Marc canāt be Jake, Steven, or even Moon Knight, he has to put on a different mask.Ā
Marc once more needed and finding any way to not be himself. To put on a mask and not deal with everything that comes with being Marc Spector.Ā
And while in this issue, Marlene still insists on calling him Steven when she can, itās almost half hearted. We havenāt seen Steven or Jake since the start of this particular run.Ā
At this point, Marc has to be clinging to front. He strikes me as the type that clings onto control with a death grip. There is no identified gate-keeper in the system at this point. The system is still freshly aware in many cases. So Marc holds on.Ā
And even if he didnātā¦ Jake is far from his cab and New York comfort. Steven is far too soft for the discomfort of this mission. They have stepped back and Marc is running the show.Ā
But you have to wonder how this is going to affect them all later. Are they going to resent him for running off and resorting to his old methods? Is he causing them harm? Diving into old trauma, bad habits, self harmā¦Ā
When they get the body back, will they be angry at him? Or will he be angry enough at himself? We know Marc does not like being himself. That he doesnāt like to front when at home in New York. Being front stuck for so long, how hard will Marc crash when this is over?Ā
#Moon Knight#Moon Knight comics#Marc Spector#Marlene Alraune#Analyzing the comics#Sorry it took so long guys but things happened#It was also hard to find motivation to do this one#Nimrod is not considered a BIG Villain and you can tell they really wanted him to be#Sometimes villains just don't hold up#I think it was a design flaw#He had potential but he was no candle to Bushman#Plus his three sexy bodyguards thing made him feel like a bond villain

luke fumbling in recruiting percy has to be one of his greatest failures. a beautiful thing the show does regarding luke and percy's relationship is building rapport between them through shared moments like settling into camp, eating meals together, but especially through swordfighting lessons. the swordfighting scene at the beginning of episode 8 not only reveals that percy and luke already share similar beliefs about the fear-based system the gods have cultivated, but it's clear the conversation stays with percy when he fights ares and later calls out zeus on his waning skills as a father and a king. however, luke's plan fell through the moment percy learned that the winged-shoes were meant to drag him to tartarus. not only that, but the shoes nearly killed grover, a friend percy cared for deeply. if nourishing loyalty and trust was the key to ensuring a partnership with percy, then it was luke's faulty planning, arrogance, and impatience that cost him the greatest ally he could ask for.
#i think it's incredibly interesting to see how easy it would have been to recruit percy#if luke omnitted the shoes from his initial plan#then percy would've returned to camp angry at zeus for being a neglectful parent and king#angry at hades for encasing his mother in gold and trapping her near-dying soul in the underworld#angry at hepheastus for designing a trap to encase other demigods in gold as a test of faith#and angry at athena for leaving annabeth to die over something that was percy's fault alone#i think hermes and poseidon are the only gods percy would tolerate because they've expressed remorse and longing for their mortal family#and i think THAT is where percy and luke would have clashed had luke been successful in recruiting#luke insisting the gods will never change and percy over the years learning that maybe they can#and then annabeth telling percy abt the great prophecy and he has to decide if he wants to follow destiny or create his own#i would eat that shit up y'all#anways rant over#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#pjo headcanon#percy jackson#luke castellan#the lighting theif#the lightning theif: the series#pjo tv series#pjo tv concept#luke fatal flaw should've been impatience#(too quick to act on a decision without thinking it through)#(the one trait from his father he can't seem to escape)#luke recruiting percy#traitor percy

I love Raph and havenāt said that enough so to be more specific I love that Raph is a soft boy who loves bear plushies, a gross boy who eats an assortment of things that are definitely better left alone, a smart boy who is more than capable of taking down villains through planning and fortitude alike, a strong boy who is dedicated to training his muscles and fighting prowess, a teenage boy who loves his brothers but is more than happy to tease and roughhouse with them, an angry boy who sometimes lets his anger take a hold of him to cover the fear, a gentle boy who is generous with hugs and affirmations to those he loves, a capable boy who takes on more than should ever be expected of a teenager, a good boy who just wants to be a hero and slowly comes to realize the cost of that duty, a good boy who has no reservations about putting himself in the way of harm coming to his family, a good boy whoās a great brother and son and person and deserves only the best the world has to offer.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt raph#rise raph#heās so wonderful frfr#my poor boy is traumatized but still so proud of what they accomplished because theyāre HEROES#what started as something fun - Saturday morning cartoon-like heroes vs villains esque - soon becomes his calling#and he loses himself a little along the way#because the world is TERRIFYING now#if they donāt do something about the bad things in the world then worse things will come#and Raph CARES too much to let it happen#even at the expense of his own happiness and youth#and he luckily reigns back that fear - knowing his family is there to keep an eye out with him#and he finally lets himself be a kid again#heās very well rounded and his flaws are so good because (like the others) they are ALSO his strengths#I like how itās softly implied that bears are his fav animal too bc thatās cute af#headcanon that he likes them so much because a stuffed bear was the first toy splinter managed to get Raph#but yeah one of my favorite things about tmnt is that the characters are well rounded and rottmnt exemplifies that immensely#with raph being no exception!!#amazing big brother and character#thereās a REASON in my tmnt main character tierlist heās S tier!!!!#hot take but in terms of who should be leader I think it should be less whoās the better leader-#-and more whoās the better leader FOR THIS SPECIFIC MISSION#bc all four can be great leaders fight me on that#APRIL can as well 100%#doesnāt need a designated leader for them to succeed#they just need ~communication~#one of my favorite things tying Raph and Leo together is that they both *hide*#Iāve talked about Leoās many masks a lot but Raph has one too#and itās the mask of a hero - the mask of the protector

Can I ask what the formulas are that donnie calculates to make a big boom(??)
Just curious, lolol
Of course! Thereās a few different ones in there including the infamous e=mc2, but the majority are meant to calculate the energy released in a nuclear explosion. Thereās also the BornāOppenheimer (BO) approximation (which makes the assumption that the wave functions of atomic nuclei and electrons in a molecule can be treated separately) for the sake of his creative process. Admittedly tās not 100% accurate (because nuclei and electrons CAN move at the same speed) but Donnie is working on the fly here with nothing but his still limited mortal brain and it has been accurate enough to aid his basic needs in blowing up Krang. So uhā¦ just trust him on it haha!
#Iām a designer not a physicist#so apologies if my research is flawed#but wanted to try and have some scientific accuracy for Donnieās sake#I think itās important that all his mystical looking feats are still rooted in science#Donnieās shoulder marking is still facing the wrong way and it bugs me#Q&A#rottmnt#rottmnt replica#replica#kathaynesart#save rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#unpause rise of the tmnt#tmnt

Sight of a Star - Blue-ish Star RyÅshÅ« and Don Quixote
#HERES HOW BLUE-ISH STAR BELIEVERS CAN STILL WIN I PROMISE#Rendering sucks but I do like how these look very much. I hate drawing armour. big fan of dramatic shadows however.#but! as for justifications:#B-iS is an abno regarding what one so desperately wants but cannot have - possibly connecting to Blue Star and the paradise-like place-#people wish to reach by throwing themselves into it. though what is offered by B-iS is a much less refined yet as tantalising#given the text of 'The irresistible allure is almost tearing you apart' and the less refined bit being implied by both design#[jagged edges of the actual blue shape and legs like dolls - both unlike BS' much rounder and more naturalistic design]#in short it's the manifestation of impossible dreams - for Don this is her quest for a just knighthood in the City of all places#and for RyÅshÅ« [though idk her source] it is her final work of art - the Hell Screen#when approached one's body is 'pushed away' as if a manifestation of how it is unachievable. at least it is for them#'To be truly blue the one with the true blue must be left alone in oneās blueness.'#is what I interpret as: 'to truly dream the dreamer must be left to one's fantasies'#dreams by nature do not intersect well with reality. all their flaws will be shown and they will crack under the pressure of the real world#it is why the dream pushes them away. to preserve itself. also probably has something to do with how DQ also has void dream#and this abno gives pride boosts in its event. and I personally see pride as a sort of 'self assurance' or 'self above others' so to speak#as to chase ones dreams one must think themselves the exception. as the one that can persevere over the City#plus the HP damage and the various juxtapositions in the 'forward' option may be in reference to how dreams and reality don't mix.#harming those who chase them. though all the same the 'backwards' option shows that simply tossing them aside shall hurt in its own way#to think oneself 'impure' enough to give up on chasing it is all the same resignation on your uniqueness#as for the gift: the name is possibly to do with how lower stars seem easier to reach. and the effect of damage at minus SP....#going insane dream chasing?#but to take ones leave allows for it to be left behind without any further effects. you did not look at your dreams. acknowledge them at al#but are you better off like that? not dreaming? forgetting that brilliantly unfinished star?#but anyways I hope you liked my rambles. also this abno and everything related to Blue Star is so tastefully C flavoured that I love them#and fun fact! when I was first generally mapping sinners to unfightable/EGOless abnos I entirely forgot RyÅshÅ« somehow. which led to this.#they don't have weapons they just kick real hard and it works well enough#limbus company#ryÅshÅ« lcb#don quixote lcb#š š¬

I feel like the Primaris should have been the catalyst for like, an imperial civil war. At the very least, much unrest in the house of Guilliman. Their existence, let alone rollout/integration, should have had many chapters absolutely rioting. It should be beyond the pale by several orders of magnitude and be seen as an enormous overreach by the more autonomy loving chapters, a blasphemy by the more orthodox chapters, and an existential threat to chapters with geneseed quirks. Plus anyone with any awareness of the thunder warriors should take one look at them and recognize the writing on the wall. Guilliman should absolutely recognize what they represent, what they imply. Like they're the leading wave of a paradigm shift that doesn't bode well for what came before. And I say this as someone who's not averse to Primaris, I just think they could've, should've, been a waaaay bigger deal. I know they loathe changing the status quo and we're never getting rid of the posterboys but I think we missed out on something interesting.
#40k#primaris marines#like if anything I think they should have made them even more different than oldmarines#to the point where they very literally *are* intended to be upgrades in some fashion#either in ease/reliability of creation or actual ability#or both#I personally would have had them be āstreamlinedā astartes that lack a lot of āadvanced/nicheā features of marines#in exchange for a much less demanding selection process and a much higher survival rate#augmented by Cawl-designed (and ofc primaris only) gear that Bobby G is putting a lot of resources into stockpiling#Primaris should be a revision to the design meant to address the flaws and weaknesses of the Astartes *from guilliman's perspective*#easier to produce easier to replace more reliant on imperial supply lines and locked down so they can't rebel without leaving everything#ultima founding chapters also should have had *very* short leashes and been Minotaurs tier agents of Imperial will#maybe even have some that are clearly out to eat other chapters' lunch and occupy their niches#especially problematic/autonomous chapters#hammer home the ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½we're replacing you with the upgraded modelsā message

I love how The Boy Wonder is characterizing Talia. Like, I have some disagreements (mainly in that I still don't like the idea that her relationship with Bruce was somewhat encouraged by Ra's because like...idk it just feels weird to me. I also don't like that Talia seems pretty chill with murder, since I still think she's most interesting as somebody who kills only when there is no other option) but overall I think it's a pretty good way of showing her as a complicated woman.
She knows her father is cruel and will do things that go too far, but she genuinely believes in his mission and will do whatever she thinks will serve it (another benefit of actually touching on the ecologist angle of the LoA). It's also notable that she only fully betrays Ra's when she knows that HE has compromised his own cause at the altar of ego. Her loyalty to the cause doesn't mean she'll let Ra's do whatever he wants, ESPECIALLY as it pertains to her son.
Her relationship with Damian is also complicated in a way that feels a lot more in-character and reasonable than usual. No matter what her intentions were with the action, she abandoned Damian to Bruce and that HURT HIM. It's given him issues where he constantly strives to not just be good but to be BETTER than the others so that he won't be left again. It can be the right decision for both Damian and herself AND ALSO cause them a lot of pain. She loves him dearly, he is her heart. But just like she puts herself through suffering for a goal she believes is righteous and just, she puts her son (her heart) through that same pain because she believes it is the right thing to do. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.
It gets a bit too self-deprecating at the end for me (I honestly don't think Talia would consider herself unworthy to be proud of Damian), but it shows her with a level of self-awareness and an understanding of her errors. Issue 4 also shows a lot of my favorite traits of Talia's in full force: her perseverance and her confidence in her own moral judgements (if not in her interpersonal relationships).
#the boy wonder#talia al ghul#again I have issues with her characterization. but this is some of the best we've gotten in years#this is a more mature version of the Talia I loved before she got all fucked up. the things I like about her are all there#and it shows her ACTUAL flaws + mistakes vs ones the author just made up out of thin air to demonize her#'she did not let me have pets' or 'she locked me in a box in the desert' vs 'she left me with my father who was not prepared for that#and regardless of her reasoning or if she did it because she loved me it STILL HURT'#...yeah I think I know which one makes more sense for Talia#ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HER DESIGN??? HOLY SHIT SHE IS INCREDIBLE

I thought too hard about Among Us and now I have serious concerns regarding that reactor
#among us#radiationposting#ice speaks#WHY DOES YOUR SCRAM NEED TWO PEOPLE#DID THE IMPOSTERS BUILD THAT#every design idea i came up with had at least one fatal flaw and the solution also had their own fatal flaws#that's probably on me but still#i came to the hilarious conclusion of 'you better save all that xenon for later because you WILL need it'#'but it will decay' bold of you to assume that the reactor can go that long without threatening to blow up#i might study nuclear engineering actually because no sane person thinks about this for so long

seeing a bunch of yugitubers finally white knuckling teeth clenching admitting that links were actively detrimental for the game and that pendulums were not the core issue is so satisfying, actually
#i will fully admit pend has some mechanical flaws overall with card design but thats more komani being uncreative#i have no idea how people saw a mechanic actively restrict and break every other mechanic for 3 years#before needing to shamefully be changed didnt have anyone at the time going āhm maybe links arent goodā#like ofc a huge issue is stacked af generic extra deck boss monsters. but fundamentally links mechanically are just too broken#you can turn literally all cards into advantage how were people ok with this. and this is coming from someone who thinks links CAN be good!#'uuuhhhhh pendulums are busted!!!ā hyou summon monsters for free!!!!!ā turn 1 you can summon like#3-4 if youre being generous. and how is that worse than the 1 card starter into 37 special summon step combo#ābut pepe!!!!ā zoodiacs. spyral. firewall dragon being fucking banned. are you listening to yourself#its genuinely incredible how people whine about the card text but are like 'yeah i can remember a half hour combo line no sweat"#being made to wait at the airport for ANOTHER 12 hours so im allowing myself to be a hater#anyways learning that pendulums have less total cards than links is my 13th reason. its my 9/11#i have no fucking idea why konami hates pends so much but man do i want to dissolve them for it (alongside other reasons)
