Seems like a valid argument

If I was younger I'd call him an antisocial psycopath, but tbh we could probably use less people and more dinosaurs...

Only issue is that it has to remain indiscriminate, and maybe move him around the globe a bit.

more dinosaurs

We've got more than twenty-six billion (and growing) just in chickens alone; I'd say that's more than enough when it comes to dinosaurs.

[–] FatTony 4 points 6 months ago

Total chad response too.

The hero we needed.

Question. Does the dinosaur transformation still cure the cancer?

[–] NielsBohron 24 points 6 months ago

If I had cancer, I would see that as an absolute win.

Shit, even as a healthy (if overweight) man approaching middle age, I'd be tempted to volunteer for dino-gene therapy. "You mean I could continue life as I am and watch my health slowly fall apart or I could be a dinosaur? Can I still talk to my family? You know what, nevermind. Where do I sign up?"

I would like to see how this thing develops, were I can see said comic?

Amazing Adult Fantasy

Sounds like a 70s porn mag tbh..

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 3 points 6 months ago

It's like this Active Adult Community we drive by on our way to our favorite campsite.

Since we're not all dinosaurs right now, it's safe to assume that his plans were thwarted.

[–] EdibleFriend 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Speak for yourself you scaleless bitch.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Real dinosaurs have feathers, you scaly bitch!

[–] SamWoof03 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

read this with the gingerbread man voice. nice pfp btw

[–] EdibleFriend 3 points 6 months ago

This is how my posts SHOULD be read

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's part of Spider-Man & the X-Men.

[–] DacoTaco 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Figured, guy looks like stegron, which i assume is him

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sauron (Marvel comics).

Stegron is, somehow, a whole other (yet remarkably similar) character, with practically the same goals, so it's easy to confuse them.

(Frankly, sounds like Len Wein and Gil Kane might have forgotten Sauron existed and independently reinvented him, from how similar they are; there must've been something about turning people into dinosaurs in the early Marvel zeitgeist, I suppose, since they're both quite ancient characters, Sauron having been created in 1969 and Stegron in 1974...)

[–] DacoTaco 3 points 6 months ago

My mistake, youre right. Its sauron that was on savage island

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I read this issue digitally through Marvel Unlimited.

I'm not sure which story arc it was, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He could charge for that. I reckon people would queue around the block to be turned into sentient dinosaurs. He could be one rich dino dude with huge fanbase of folks who've got his product and idolize him. That's bound to work out well for everyone...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Free cancer treatment. You gotta pay to be a dino tho.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

Absolutely. That's the thing that always gets me about so many 'villains', they could inevitability gain their desired ends much more easily by being 'good' but persist in being evil.

[–] whotookkarl 20 points 6 months ago

Pretty sure that's from the spiderman x-men crossover where spiderman becomes a teacher at Xavier's. It's a pretty short run with just a few issues and a really good read imo.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Mad paleontologist doesn't know that Pterosaurs (which he turned himself into) are not Dinosaurs.

[–] JargonWagon 4 points 6 months ago

Maybe it's a self deprecating joke and he's simultaneously calling himself a nobody! /s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

To be fair he said he will turn people into dinosaurs, not himself.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

¿Por que no los dos?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

Please turn me into a dinosaur.

[–] Entropywins 12 points 6 months ago

If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life

[–] iAvicenna 10 points 6 months ago

it is a difficult choice

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Boomer logic.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 6 months ago

That sounds like your average Republican, like literally.
