NFL Texas Longhorns Skull Flower Ugly Christmas Ugly Sweater

September 12, 2023

Part of what made the NFL Texas Longhorns Skull Flower Ugly Christmas Ugly Sweater is that it actually has some quite interesting/cool individual scenes mixed in all the mess. Lots of scenes from the movies are directly “stolen” from it or some others are quite known as “cool”. Out the top of my mind: getting Banner to Hulk by throwing him out of a helicopter, Quicksilver accelerating until he burns another speedster, zombie marvel and Cap waking up and recognising a baseball game were all Ultimate Universe. Even in Ultimatum, I actually think that using Madrox as a mass suicide bomber was an interesting use of his powers, even if the whole thing is a mess. It did age very badly though. But it had also lots of interesting new ideas and it was a great point to get into comics for new readers. I remember at the time starting to read comics and I was constantly asking myself “Who the hell is this person?”. Then you read a bit into the start of the UU and you didn’t have that problem at all, as the characters were being introduced.
