Anyone else feel like it was a total rear end pull how Tony was cleared of any wrong doing with the Gamma Bomb? I was eating up every page of Smart Hulk utterly destroying and outsmarting Tony and then it was just....blah.

I was eating up every page of Smart Hulk utterly destroying and outsmarting Tony and then it was just....blah. I thought it was a neat switcheroo. Hulk is a character about self control and taking responsibility for your own actions (at least I like when he's written that way). It should be Banner's hubris and he's dealing with it. It would kinda suck to have Tony dealing with the world of bullshit he has to deal with and ALSO be the Hulk's superdad forever. It was a nice twist for me. I really dug that series on the whole.

I was eating up every page of Smart Hulk utterly destroying and outsmarting Tony and then it was just....blah. That deus ex machina annoyed me at first but in the end, the series works: there are some nice bromance moments, they do explore the fact that Tony has so many holes in his drunk past that he could have done some awful poo poo he's not aware of and at the end of the day, it's bitter sweet: Bruce doesn't know he could have avoided all that poo poo if he had been more Bruce and less Tony. I liked that Bruce was characterized like in Waid's run: he's not the punchline of everyone's joke but is another smart guy that the others tend to overlook. Millar's Ultimates taught me to hate these times Bruce is characterized as a nerd loser everyone hates. So, is Hulk supposed to remain smart now?

I kind of hope the next issue has a good twist in it because while it hasn't been bad I just want something unexpected. Like it's a mystery where everything is lining up to exactly as it should be but there feels like there's something missing. That and everytime Fury is all "there's no time to explain" while even the characters within the book are all "no, there is, just explain things already  ".

"There's not time to explain!" he repeated seventy three times proving he actually had ample time to explain. Also eye patch sporting military guy just chumped a bunch of more powerful people with no real explanation beyond badassry. Aaron really did say to himself "I can make Identity Crisis better."

I'm a lot more familiar with Marvel comics than DC, and I never read Identity Crisis, but on the face of it "Nick Fury chumps the Avengers" is a lot more believable to me than "Deathstroke chumps the JLA" Part of it is the fact that Nick Fury, despite being an rear end in a top hat, has always been one of the good guys before.

Spiderdrake posted:I don't even think this is on the same scale. Deathstroke reacted faster than a Flash and overpowered the will of a GL. Old Fury like, temporarily recalled Iron Man and told Thor mjolnir dickbutt to knock him out of the orbital fight. And violated the sanctity of meat night. If it is Identity Crisis done better, well, then yeah this is better. The major difference is that IC is a pile of steaming crap.

I think we can deduce some of what makes Thor unworthy with some assumptions. First, is that secret is not inherently capable of making Thor unworthy. That is to say that only when the secret is revealed to Thor, is he now unworthy. Second, because the secret makes him unworthy, it can reflect anything he's done to this point that he's known about, or anything else about him that he is aware of, otherwise he would have already been unworthy. Third, because the secret itself makes him unworthy, and we've seen other people who thought they were worthy attempt to use the hammer, Thor still believes himself worthy, but the hammer now doesn't. This is an interesting point because this means that: The only reason Thor is unworthy of the hammer is because he now knows the secret; the existence of the secret had no bearing on him wielding the hammer prior to this point. That's going to be a tricky secret to write, I'm curious what it will be. SirDan3k in the General Thread posted:It's about making Thor think he's unworthy and that kinda failure would probably do it. I mean if it was actually straight up Thor is unworthy automatic hammer loss Thor wouldn't have to hear about it, it'd just happen. See I don't think it works like that. Just because you think you are worthy doesn't let you wield the hammer, and while I think an argument could be made that he doesn't think he's worthy now that doesn't coincide with him trying to pick up the hammer. If he suddenly realized "I'm not worthy" he wouldn't start trying to pick up the hammer. The secret is told to him, the hammer no longer follows him, and he goes to get it back and is now realizing "I'm not worthy because of what Fury said."
