It probably took him 30 minutes or more to build that train too. That's dedication, knowing you have to just sit back down and building all over again if things go wrong!

I wish your comment was pinned

You know you can buy used trains for chump change at most model railroad stores if you needed one for, say, a youtube video gag, right?

Rich McGee Wow! That’s fascinating! Thanks for taking the time to let us all know. 🙄

manticorephoenix Yeah, the guy couldn't express himself well and apparently has never heard of a run on sentence. That said, saying "lol this guy shouldn't breed" isn't an argument.

So....Metal Gear in Vietnam.

@Giant Scorpion of the Apocalypse Having a good idea, and what Sam propose is a very good idea, don't automaticly make you a good writer.

@Giant Scorpion of the Apocalypse Sorry to wrote the truth.

We've seen it already, it's done to death as the opposite version these days

@@dakota4384 You said that like it's bad thing, that people critisized this war.

Another correction. Communists are in fact evil. They executed millions when the peaceniks & media convinced the politicians to leave the war

yegenek hence why Iron Man is a super obscure hero to this day

Stan Lee actually said he did that to annoy the lefties, knowing full well that they were the majority of his readership (college students specifically). I'm rather fond of it just because it feels right that some of the heroes should be from different backgrounds than you'd expect. Having him be part of the military industrial complex was certainly different enough.

Maybe Otto Binder was really a 10 year old, and when he put on his magic hat and said the magic word, he turned into an old man comic book writer.

@@c_huntermc Otto Binder was born in 1911, so he was 56 when this was published in 1967.

@@RaimoKangasniemi it's called a joke

@@-Teague- Binder was a pro with a long career; both in comics and pulps. This was a low point, but joke or not, he deserves a little bit more respect.

It's like a spiritual predecessor to Axe Cop.

SHA.....SHIT!

Not just some kid - to your kid brother, so he can use the powers to go fight a war that was crushing the souls of older men, by playing practical jokes on men on both sides of a conflict that was already a cruel joke on everyone involved... it's like the "gift" that keeps on giving!

If we're at all honest, the writing is just terrible, but there is a sort of breathless naivete and optimism to it that really couldn't have survived very long into that dark and cynical decade as public opinion of the war and of the U.S. military turned more and more sour - the whole thing must have read as rather old-fashioned and out-of-touch before the second issue hit the shelves. Still, I think the goofy and surreal mindset that could plan to write a serial about a world where the U.S.A.'s difficulties in Vietnam could be solved by a half-baked jungle-wizard, a well-meaning American kid wearing a magic hat, and a troupe of imaginary pineapple-throwing monkeys reads much better for what it is today, with a little distance from the whole mess. I think the artwork is generally pretty good, besides - probably far better than this story deserved, but I can't help wondering what might have been had the artist's talents been hired toward a more mature, insightful, balanced, and serious treatment of the Vietnam war, more in line with those old Sgt. Rock or Combat Kelly comics, or contemporary television shows like "Combat!"

@@pietrayday9915 Honestly I think most comics artists were under served by their writers. Maybe I do just like looking back at a more naive and less-cynical time. You could make up all this ridiculous stuff and people would enjoy it for what it was. I feel like every time a new concept is introduced in modern story-telling it requires a large, unwieldy explanation - an explanation that doesn't make the original concept any more believable than if it were not explained at all. I miss unrestrained imagination.

I like this redo of _The Green Beret_ story a lot better than what was reviewed. Gives a little more ground, realism and grit to the story. Hopefully this pitch will become an actual comic. I'd read that.

@@laineydoodles9297 Yes, it'd be interesting to see it executed by an artist familiar with the conflict. My take on Green Beret would show the ugly side of war, with its share of sociopaths and war criminals and the good one through Bellemore, who starts off as a complete Jamoke, to finally end after many hardships as a dignified military figure being decorated with a silver star. I can imagine the highlights of the story: - Bellemore having it hard from the drill sergeant. Learns the bitter lesson that a good soldier must learn how to swallow his pride, as following orders is necessary for survival. - he meets his rival, basically an ugly reflection of his own image. He learns that sometimes, personal prejudice have to be stomached and nothing can be done about it. He grows stronger out of the experience as a result. - he meets the main antagonist, his corrupt superior in the battlefield. - his first arms. Thinking he doesn't need anything to shine out of sufficience, he wents on to be a complete letdown. That's when he decides to don with the super green beret. - his spectacular rise and his rival doing his utmost to smear him. - his struggle to not be mobilized on a frontline taking him away from Holton's unwanted grave. Resolution as he points out the strategic value of his P.O.I. - the black Tuesday. Led by his corrupt superior, knowing that he is dead wrong, Bellemore faces the risk to face martial law if he disobeys. He decides to, and save his rival and some brothers in arms from a vicious trap laid by the vietcongs through unreliable informants. That's when he measures how much he grew in maturity as Holton simply guided his steps. - The rivals relationship, developing into a deep seated, brotherly respect between the former enemies. They fight alongside with great efficiency from now on. - His trial, where he's finally acquitted of all charges of insubordination. - More fights. He realizes that the Vietnamese, like him, faces the fear of death, doubt and such. - Faces Vo Nguyen Giap in person in the final battle, but the general narrowly escapes. Won it without the super beret on as it taught him everything already. Bellemore's most climactic victory, as the American camp Holton died on is reinvested and bodies are repatriated. - Bellemore at the funerals on the village Holton fondly remembered. Bellemore places his silver star on top of Holton's body alongside the super beret. Despite many offers from the army, he decides not to renew his terms and find his calling as a park ranger. Also regularly helps viet veterans reinsert through the actions of VVA.

Pretty much all of marvel's comics (excluding the golden age) were digitized in 1999-2003. On the internet I mean, by pirates, but marvel can take the results of their work without asking.

Can it be an Alan Moore style revisionist take on the character?

​@@gmosphere I'll write. I was already thinking about something along those lines.

Same, I got the jabbas palace set when it came out, slipped and it completely shattered. I'm still a little sad tbh

I can't wait for the Fatman movie.

With Zack Snyder and his Jesus symbolism

Cowardice for not enrich the military industrial complex?

I was expecting him to mention this. Or if the guns got reloaded magically they're going to explode in their hands. To be fair though it's the kind of mistake a kid with superpowers would make.

Nva or American lol
