I bet I'm really going to enjoy the behind the scenes of story of what the hell happened in the Alonso/Cebulski switchover, especially as it regards the current storyline of "We're bringing Wolverine back! No, not like that. No, never mind we're not doing that either. Well uh... hold on we're going to figure this out eventually. Give us another few mini-series."

Gatts posted:It really is. Americans love for bland food confounds me. I wish my tongue could appreciate bland blobs of barely cooked overpriced meat. Like a good steak is awesome but it’s crap compared to so much else that is offered in the world. And the best high end steakhouses still do stuff to it and give it accompaniments or cook it in a certain style or technique. To be fair I haven’t had authentic Kobe yet. In what galaxy is steak bland and in what universe are steaks solely American

I feel like this conversation stopped being about steak a while back and now people are just using it as an excuse to shittalk various people and their places of origin.

After reading like 40 issues of sentry books i have come to the conclusion that everyone who thought that that character should have a) been created in the first place, and b) been placed in mainline continuity are loving morons

The Sentry has the Hank Pym problem in spades, where the Marvel Flaw has essentially replaced all of the character. Also every single artist started drawing him with long blonde hair, which is exclusively a villain look.

Teenage Fansub posted:Dark Reign Avengers was good Yes ill admit i thought dark avengers was quite a bit more fun than i thought it would be, none of it because of the sentry tho and the arc where he kills the molecule man (which is why I started investigating the sentry as a character in the first place) is where bendis really jumped the shark. And really bendis has a huge part in why he sucks because he makes him like literal god in some parts but also sometimes seems to realize the makes him so op he breaks the story so he can also arbitrarily lose to thor for reasons on occasion but also being able to kill the most powerful being in the universe, and he seemingly has no idea what the void is or should be (and tbh after reading all of it i still have trouble putting a coherent narrative on that myself, on top of it being kind of gross ablist perceptions of mental illness funnneled into a superhero story reading it in 2018), and also apparently he doesnt bother reading the actual jenkins series, or just bother asking jenkins whats the deal, so he continues to run off an outdated and incomplete backstory, it's just a mess Obviously jenkins definitely has a hand inthis with regards to his powerset and all, but bendis just has him in more issues and has him like Be God a lot and not be more contained to fighting the void and dealing with his mental health issues specifically like in jenkins series Jordan7hm posted:Age of the Sentry was good too. I just finished this before posting and yeah it was really good and the story with tobin and coover doing the romance story was  but they couldnt even leave it alone and out of continuity, it had to be reed just reconciling the void through bedtime story theories

Every time I think of the Sentry I remember the big reveal that he was the first guy Rogue had ever slept with, because his powers meant hers didn't matter, or whatever . And Jenkins never quite seemed to grasp why that irritated folks.

I really wish I could see more behind the scenes comics stuff, 'cause I'd love to know Bendis! was asked to, for example, return Doom to his status quo, or if he didn't want anyone playing with his Iron Doom Man action figure after he left. Cause it LOOKS like he just set up a bunch of poo poo and left, as if to say "do something with this or don't, peace". Like, if you know you're leaving and aren't going to actually DO anything with the revelation that Tony's evil biological father is alive, why make it a plot point? Or, like I said before, was he working with the next writer, setting up something that, ugh, Slott is going to use? I personally don't mind Bendis; I've never read the things people complain most about when it comes to him. (e: Oh, wait, his X-Men started out cool and then turned to serious poo poo. gently caress 'im for that) But I sure wouldn't give the smallest poo poo if nobody ever used The goddamn Hood in anything ever again.

Supposedly Hickman was going to write a Doom ongoing after SW but he was burned the gently caress out so Bendis grabbed him up.

Does Bendis still write like 8 books at once? I feel like that might be his biggest problem, and why he relies on Bendis-speak so much.

At DC he's doing four ongoings at once with both Superman comics and two Jinxworld things edit: so far. Powers will start up again this year too, but I'm sure those outside-DCU things aren't gonna stick to a monthly schedule. The Superman comics are shifting from a two-per-month schedule to one, so he's not going too hard. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 00:19 on May 28, 2018 |

Well let's not kid ourselves, the Jinxworld books won't really be ongoing in the sense of the word we're all accustomed to using. At least not for very long.

Nearly dying probably was a big derail in this plans to wrap everything up and put it back into a good starting place for the next writer, but usually Bendis returns the toys back to the editorially mandated toybox reasonably well (like, he didn't erase the time-displaced X-Men as it was a push from above, but he brought back Wasp before he finished his Avengers run).

Apropos of nothing, but this whole time in the background while I’ve been busy erasing my mind and wondering if I’m a Skrull I’ve actually been rebuilding our friend the Vision! Just a spare project about resurrecting a living being whose death was the catalyst for our team breaking up and being completely redone, no big deal” Everyone else - “ Hey cool. Also Storm is here now, let’s go beat up Norman Osborne”

I'm a fan of Quasar and I was fine with killing him off in Annihilation. Wendell gets to go out as a big drat hero and he's such a minor character that if they brought him back again it was 50/50 on it being really lovely. But as the old saying goes, nobody stays dead in comics except Bucky and Uncle Ben.

Last I saw Mole Man was dating one of his monsters thanks to Squirrel Girl Shawn posted:Vampires, Leprechauns, and Aliens feature way more heavily in X-men than you'd think. Not to mention that Canada is a lot more evil than you would think Also question for the thread, if you had to choose to have one character in main 616 continuity be permanently killed off, who would you choose? Personally I'd pick Punisher, he's just never felt like a good fit for the main Marvel universe*, or indeed most of it's variants either, so yeah I'd have him die in an appropriate fashion and then have the Punisher name picked up by a new character who fits into a Superhero universe better *funny thing is the Ultimate version of Punisher feels like he would fit in much better in the main continuity, as they integrated him much better into weird superhero shenanigans than 616 Frank Castle has pretty much ever been
