QUOTE: I doubt this J Michael Straczynski Doctor Doom joke would work at all in any other medium:  Link

I'm probably not appreciating the joke as much as I should since I never took to the change from uppercase to lowercase letters in comics, and that dialogue doesn't "feel" like Doctor Doom to me.

:-O

But overall I think comics aren't "burdened" by having to show the in-betweens of action. Doc Samson is shown Winding up, next panel the Hulk is flying upward walloped! Dr Strange can make an incantation and then we can see the effect of it, we don't need to watch two light sabers bounce off each other for five minutes. 

I also think many action scenes reply on regular action scene tropes like parkour moves or slides when our superheroes don't necessarily fight like that. Again, I think Marvel did a nice job unlike a lot of films by showing a \distinct fighting style of Batroc vs Cap for instance. But overall everyone fights the same overall in these films and tv shows.

3. I feel comics are better than movies at showing you things that are non-literal. Movies can sort of do this (say the whole screen is drenched in a certain colour), but not particularly well. But you can have lines of alarm coming off Spidey's head, or waves of stink coming off a pile of crap, and so on. Now with modern post-production techniques, you could overly these on a movie, but I'm not sure it would be readily accepted by audiences. it just isn't part of the language of cinema in the way that it is a part of the language of comics.

I'm sure there are others.
