    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Snikt or BAMF Edition

    When it comes to superhero sound effects, there are several that even the most casual fan knows: Spider-Man goes “THWIP!”, Superman goes “WHOOOSH!”, Batman goes “I DO NOT SMELL.”  The X-Men, though, have managed to snag not one but TWO iconic onomatopoeias, meaning that everybody knows if they hear Snikt or BAMF that they’re dealing with Wolverine and Nightcrawler.  Of course, that does raise the question of which is better, leading to today’s SFX query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) wishes that they still did Cyclops’ eyebeam sound effect, which was “ZARK!”, asking: Snikt or BAMF?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      I’d much rather hear “BAMF” than “Snikt” because the latter means someone’s gettin’ cut.

      Oh, and don’t forget that GI Joe 21 taught us that Snake Eyes goes Silent But Deadly.
