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.

Total chad response too.

The hero we needed.

Question. Does the dinosaur transformation still cure the cancer?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year 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've never met a dinosaur with cancer

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

*taps head* Can't have cancer if you're fossilized.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yes ,but bone cancer

Amazing Adult Fantasy

Sounds like a 70s porn mag tbh..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Speak for yourself you scaleless bitch.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Real dinosaurs have feathers, you scaly bitch!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

read this with the gingerbread man voice. nice pfp btw

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is how my posts SHOULD be read

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I read this issue digitally through Marvel Unlimited.

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

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

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

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

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

[–] leftzero 2 points 1 year 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...)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year 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.

¿Por que no los dos?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Please turn me into a dinosaur.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

it is a difficult choice

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That sounds like your average Republican, like literally.
