So, are there are still comics where Marvel doesn't make oblique references to the DCU?

[–]KipHackmanFBI 9 ポイント10 ポイント

Which panel has the reference?

[–]vadergeek[S] 8 ポイント9 ポイント

Nova does say "Up, up and away" which was Superman's thing for a while.

[–]alchemeron -5 ポイント-4 ポイント

"A while"? You mean the better part of a century and is intrinsically linked with the character?

Why does it seem to upset you so much?

[–]vadergeek[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Better part of a century? I doubt he was using it regularly up into the 80s or so.

[–]alchemeron -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

As recently as 2006, in a story timed with the release of Superman Returns.

The writer having Nova say that line isn't a matter of conjecture. It is a Superman reference.

[–]vadergeek[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント

He's referenced it, but it's not still a catchphrase.

[–]alchemeron -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

That's simply false. Superman is the origin of the phrase. It is intrinsically linked to that character and is still used in connection with him.

I mean, how old are you? Were you born in the late 90's? How could you not know this?

[–]vadergeek[S] 2 ポイント3 ポイント

It's tied to him, but he hasn't actually said it on a regular basis in ages.

[–]alchemeron -5 ポイント-4 ポイント

And?

In no way, shape, or form does that mean that another comic book character using a very specific phrase, which is part of a culture which supersedes comics, isn't an explicit Superman reference.

It has a long, venerated, obvious history. And I'm simply stunned that someone in /r/comicbooks would be so silly as to argue against it. No, there's a better word: ignorance. An absence of knowledge.

[–]alchemeron -5 ポイント-4 ポイント

The very first one.
