Azrael One Million is loving hilarious, post that if you're reading through DC 1000000! I didn't realize Kang was so smooth in the bedroom:  I honestly didn't even realize he was a human guy and just wearing a helmet.

He's Immortus too, right? For some reason even though I knew that it never occurred to me that if Immortus was a human dude then Kang must be too and that was just a mask.

"Council of Kangs (Multiverse): A group composed by Prime Kang and two Kang's divergences that were tricked by their future counterpart Immortus to eliminate all divergent Kangs in the Multiverse so that Kang's destiny ended with him becoming Immortus. Note: This group should not be confused with the Council of Cross-Time Kangs which is a group of aliens and other beings who all took up the guise of Kang the Conqueror after killing alternate versions of Nathaniel Richards." Nebula manages to become a Kang for a while (after being killed or something good lord that was some confusing poo poo, I was just reading through old She-Hulk appearances) and was apparently so rare as a female Kang that she was sleeping with multiple other Kangs to gain access to their tech for her own plot. Hot Kang-on-Kang action, once the Comics Code Authority is sent to the Negative Zone. (Oh dear gently caress, it was Ravonna Renslayer, whoever that is, her Marvel wiki entry is... complicated-looking. I stand by my comment, that it's a total Kangfest.)

I don't know if it's on purpose but if you chart Dr. Druid's appearances in Marvel comics he just wanders into books, makes everything worse, and then leaves. He literally ruined Johnny Blaze's entire life in one issue and didn't even apologize.

The only reason that story exists is so Captain Marvel (the good one, not Carol) wouldn't be team leader anymore.

And until Civil War 2, Carol was on that list...  I kind of wish I could be a fly on the wall for the conversations between the MCU folks and comic folks when that happened. "Hey guys, our movies are going really well, and stuff like Guardians has shown us we can pull out more obscure characters and the audience will trust us enough to go for it. So next, we're thinking it's time for us to have a female lead. You guys revamped Captain Marvel, right? She'd be perfect. Military angle, attractive without being overly sexualised, got that cosmic tie-in the guardians... what's she been doing in comics lately?"

There was a Spidey issue (or possibly a CM issue) during the first Civil War that was really great, even though Carol was on the wrong side. I think somebody here pointed out that it was a Bugs Bunny cartoon, but with Spidey as Bugs and Carol as Elmer Fudd.

I love Marvel took this to its logical conclusion and made his ghost the villain of that Squadron Supreme book from a year or so ago. Also didn't the story that lead to him joining the Avengers literally end with him failing at the single task the team gave him and giving a brain hemorrhage the person he was supposed to save?

I think Blackout did blow his brains out (or possibly break his neck) fighting Zemo's mind control, but Druid was trying to get him to stop because of the danger.

Comics Carol being a total fascist won't affect viewership for the movie, but movie Carol being cool isn't gonna make comics Carol get revamped either

good day for a bris posted:The Assassination of the Hero Carol Danvers by the Writer Brian Bendis. Funny thing was, Bendis was the first to actually bring back a few of her character traits and character flaws and such that Deconnic removed (an action which I personally thought made the character kinda bland), and then he went ahead and made her an almost comically extreme exaggeration most likely to try and balance out Iron Man committing literal war crimes during his hissy fit.

I don't think Carol's ever not been a fascist. And yeah KSD's take on the character was replacing flaws with blandness.

Civil War 2 in a nutshell: And every time something like this, or one of the prophecies turns out to be self-fulfilling, or something else happens, Carol doubles-down on the jackboots.

The part where Ulysses tells her a woman is gonna bomb some place, and she drags the ultimates out to arrest her, only the woman doesn't have a bomb and she gets arrested anyways and Carol has shield black site her until they can create some evidence is still the best-worst part And the series ends with everyone in America calling her the coolest hero for no reason at all and Obama telling her she's great at her job site fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jan 8, 2018 |

So when exactly did Marvel decide fascism was cool and good? Because between both Civil Wars and the Captain America thing, I think I'm starting to establish the barest hints of a pattern.
