Can Marvel writers think up of no other name for Tony's relatives than "Arno"?

Disappointed it isn't Arno, and think it's amazingly stupid that we're once again pitting Stark (who is now techie scum?) against another hero (I guess since Cap is billed in several titles at once at any time Daredevil was a close second?). I wasn't happy when his color scheme changed from red/gold/blue lights to black/gold/red lights, and now he looks like, I don't know... GLADoS in that picture? Man, now I can't unsee it :stare: Anyways I hated pretty much every single part of that press release.

Stark needs to create some technology that backfires causing other heroes to distrust or be annoyed at him (for a little bit) for next year. That's all it is.

How about reinstating a secret cabal with the intent to blow up a bunch of planets and then mindwipe Captain America when he goes against him. I bet something like that'd do it.

To be fair it's just a piece from a mashable article, not that Marvel got it incorrect.

quote:

Writer Tom Taylor and artist Yildray Cinar will collaborate on the book, which spins off of upcoming Marvel event series Avengers & X-Men: AXIS.

"What we’re doing here is a little different — it’s Tony Stark, the one and only Tony Stark — and in the aftermath of the Axis event, he will surrender to his id and his legendary ego," Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso tells Mashable. "You’ll see Tony in a new place spiritually and intellectually."

And this new Tony Stark isn't an "alternate universe" creation, nor is he being replaced or mind-controlled, like Spider-Man was (by arch-enemy Otto Octavius in the book's spiritual predecessor, Superior Spider Man, the 2013 title that was initially met with nerd-rage but lasted a whopping 31 issues.)

"Yes, this is Tony," Alonso said. "What you're seeing in Superior Iron Man is a Tony Stark who’s seen both his worst and best impulses all let loose. It is Tony, but he’s going to be in a zone now where he’s never been. He's more ambitious, cunning, egotistical ... all of those quantities are unharnessed. He has a vision for the world. I like to think his position is defensible — controversial, but defensible."

And this new, hubrissed-out Tony Stark won't just be confined to Superior Iron Man — he'll show up in crossover Avengers titles, rub shoulders with Captain America and make his special brand of trouble all the other Marvel titles with which he's involved.

"Don’t look for anything to contradict this Iron Man for the foreseeable future," Alonso said.

Those are fine because he's still being a hero of course and not a film plot. His crazy out of control helper app (which I wouldn't be surprised if it was named J.A.R.V.I.S.) is what'll put him at odds with everyone for sure

I should have been clearer: just the one about Superior Iron Man. I'm pretty jazzed about everything else that's going on, if only because I get to razz all the cynics I know who think that 616 is beholden to the MCU: now, I get to point at Thor being a woman, Falcon becoming Cap, and Iron Man looking like a Mac Book threw up on him.

Most teenagers who use memes are doing it ironically or sarcastically on twitter, or they're genuine and annoying like Tumblr. Considering Kamala writes fan-fiction she's probably the type of girl who uses memes non-ironically. I agree, and I'm in the camp with that being in-character for her.

PaybackJack posted:

I had to go look this up as well. Apparently there's a 616 version kicking around now, and he and Tony are out doing stuff together. I haven't read an Iron Man book since before he ran off into space so I guess this is a thing now and they're going with it as opposed to a single arc. I guess after Gillen wrote a fairly forgettable run of X-Men and a footnote run of Journey into Mystery, he's aiming to leave a more permanent mark on the universe by creating a brother for Tony Stark?

As far as I know his JiM run is almost universally beloved, and his X-Men run, while sort of brief, had a lot of fun bits, was pretty well-regarded, and sort of did a lot of important gap-filling and character work in the midst of AvX. Also his Young Avengers has a great big following, I don't think he needs to worry about his legacy at Marvel.

Valkyrie wouldn't be Thor though, she'd just be Valkyrie with a hammer which is not the marketing or advertising Marvel do. If it was as simple as that then more than like 5 people would have bought the Sif ongoing when they tried to make it happen.

It's just a bother when there is a point where a character is replaced, and there's certain criteria needed for the replacement that can be met with existing characters, and it's like "no, make a new one".

This is especially difficult if you're an X-Men fan, and there's a toychest full of cool characters going unused mostly because new ones need to be manufactured only to be overtaken by newer characters and so on.
