For all its flaws, this arc has its moments. Here is one of them. (The Incredible Hulk #390)
Also, let’s all take a moment to admire Rick Jones’s impeccable early-’90s fashion sense. (The Incredible Hulk #390)
And good times were had by all. (The Incredible Hulk #391)
One more Rick Jones fashion moment for the road. (The Incredible Hulk #391)
That’s kind of ingenious, actually. (The Incredible Hulk #391)

You’d think gods would have less generic armor. (X-Factor #76)
And then Rahne did some killing. (X-Factor #76)
There is literally no good reason to have this in the story; but then, there’s literally no good reason for most of this story. (The Incredible Hulk #391)
“Good talk! So, back to paternalistic interference?” (The Incredible Hulk #392)

NEXT EPISODE: Tom Taylor and the true meaning of friendship!
I had not heard Jay’s definition of “Four-Flusher” before, but I like it better than the one I had heard. The one I had heard, which makes more sense in reference to Madrox’s comment, is comparing someone to such a huge piece of shit that it would take multiple flushes of a toilet to get rid of it. Literally, “You Four-Flusher” would mean “You are such a big piece of shit it’d take four tries to flush all of you away.”
That was the definition that came to mind, without having heard the phrase before for me. Not sure what that says about me, though.
I’m hearing this on November 2019, and USA intervention is a thing TODAY (see Venezuela)
