Dark Reign (comics)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

 

* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: The low rumbling of a Shockwave, the sibilant hissing of a Rift Creator, or the dying screams of a Martyr, depending upon which side you're playing as.

* [[That One Level]]: Level 5 in the first game, no matter whose side you were on. For the Freedom Guard, it was a [[Hopeless Boss Fight|Hopeless Level]] where you have to collect 30,000 credits while holding off wave after wave of devastating Imperium tanks. For the Imperium, you have to destroy the Freedom Guard base, while making sure the [[MacGuffin|Water Extraction Compound]], [[Sarcasm Mode|sensibly]] located inside the Freedom Guard base, wasn't destroyed. Aside from being an infuriating mission on its own, it also signifies a major upswing in difficulty for the rest of the game.

 

* [[Complete Monster]]: [[Norman Osborn]], Bullseye, Daken, Zodiac, Mr. X, Nuke.

** And Mr. Hyde:

'''Prison administrator:''' Last two months? Mr. Jefferson, it was all this morning. }}

* [[Creator's Pet]]: Justified in ''Mighty Avengers'' - Dan Slott has admitted that he's focusing so hard on Pym in an attempt to rescue the character from the [[Butt Monkey]] status that writers had been handing him for years.

** Spider-Woman's fight with Madame Masque in the fog.

** Thor's fight with Bor, especially when he casually tosses the Dark Avengers ''out'' of the fray.

** Mr. X blocking multiple bullets with his swords.

** Phobos finally living up to his name and practically making Osborn fill his pants. Bonus points for Ares' proud poppa reaction to it.

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]:

** The way [[Incredible Hercules|Hercules]] [[Groin Attack|defeated]] Sentry.

** Bullseye hitting Venom's eye with a dog.

** Spider-Man trying to convince Luke Cage he's not trying to steal his wife from him.

** Deadpool being teleported to A.I.M. headquarters. He decides his entry wasn't badass enough, so he poofs out and comes back ''again''.

* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Norman has one in War Machine, when he recalled memory of his feelings during Harry's birth for Ultimo, who decides that if a [[Complete Monster]] like him is able to feel such pure love, humans aren't so bad at all.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: A few years ago there was a [[What If]]? story where Dormammu said to Brother Voodoo that Earth has to be in ''really'' bad shape if he's managed to claim the Sorcerer Supreme rank. Guess who's got the title not a few days after Osborn took over?

***** Especially considering the just before Siege {{spoiler|the Sentry ''let'' the Void take control}}.

* [[Never Live It Down]]: Lampshaded

'''Henry Pym:''' Are you still dropping them from bridges? }}

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Sentry/The Void in Siege {{spoiler|Not only his newly revealed secrets are damn scary, but also the way he kills Ares by tearing him apart, without a single word or any emotion can make you scream like hell}}.

** In Dark Wolverine Bob has one scary scene, when Daken provokes Venom to fight with him. Sentry out of the blue says "stop" and ''everybody'' in the room ceases to move and looks at him scared.

*** Siege 3 {{spoiler|Sentry vs Asgard, more literal than expected. Also, the final page, with the scorpion/void/storm/HELL-thing! }}

** [[Iron Man]] was rescued for many people who didn't like him after [[Civil War]], when he deleted the entire superhero database except himself from Norman's systems.

* [[Squick]]: There are a lot of icky match-ups (Goblin/Menace, most of Daken's relationships...), but the big one right now is Hank/Jocasta. Readers who know anything about Jocasta's background tend to gag profusely whenever they do anything romantic towards each other, and the creepiness has been pointed out more than once by other characters as well.
