->''[[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] had a serious problem spotting tricks. Which is strange, since he spent most of his time around criminals and his half-brother was the actual god of deceit and mischief. Still, Thor stumbled into every trap anyone ever set for him and lived in a near constant state of outrage and surprise. It's probably why he was both immortal and forced to wear a helmet.''

->'''Matt:''' This is when Professor X says [[BerserkButton the dumbest thing]] anyone can say to someone whose life was spent killing Nazis: '''[='=][[JustFollowingOrders They were just following orders]]'''.' It’s like he read it out of the What Not To Say Playbook.\\
'''Chris''': I think the implication here is that if he can’t read your mind, Professor X is just [[GoodIsDumb no damn good at talking]] to you at all.

->''"[[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]], the hedgehog who sent massive space stations crashing to the ground, [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 who learned to teleport using a fake Chaos Emerald in a matter of seconds]], [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure who faced]] [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 down more]] [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed planet-sized]] [[VideoGame/SonicGenerations time-devouring monstrosities]] than I can count on one hand, gets pinned to a wall by robots no taller than him, who he's already defeated more than once! If you excuse me, my head has [[{{Headdesk}} a date with the nearest convenient table.]]"''

->''"Lord offers Beetle [[WeCanRuleTogether a chance to join him]], as a regular human like himself, and when Beetle tells Max to [[DefiantToTheEnd go to hell]], Max caps him in the head. Thus endeth the ComicBook/BlueBeetle... So what's my problem with this? (Aside from the fact that it seems to me that Beetle would easily have [[FakeDefector pretended to join up with Max]] in order to stay alive, as that would be the smart thing to do both for his own sake and for the people he's been trying to protect. What better way to get the full story than to work from the inside, and take Max down from within? But if Beetle behaved logically there, we wouldn't get [[BloodierAndGorier the final-page image of Beetle with his brains blown out]], and since that was clearly the motivating factor behind the previous 79 pages, logic goes out the window.)

->'''Matt:''' Magneto emerges from the submarine, helmet and all, speechifying in a commanding, yet comforting Irish lilt about the superiority of mutants over humanity. Perhaps he’s kind of right, though. The Americans and the Soviets have decided it’s time to wipe everyone on Contrivance Island out... This is when Professor X says [[BerserkButton the dumbest thing]] anyone can say to someone whose life was spent killing Nazis: '''[='=][[JustFollowingOrders They were just following orders]]'''.' It’s like he read it out of the What Not To Say Playbook.\\
