Nothing in the story matters, and there's basically 2 rules. 1) It's Batman and his friends vs Superman and his friends. 2) You can't kill off Batman or Superman until the end. That's it. Everything else is open to you, regardless of how weird or stupid or just plain out of character it would be for your idea to happen. So it lets you do anything.

It also helps that "Superman becomes a tyrant" is a pretty good starting point if you know what you are doing. Also it has the benefit of being an Alternate Universe tale too.

Calling it anger is wrong. It's more like weariness. As I see it Laura is a character than Logan. Jane is different than Thor Odinson. Miles is not Peter. Kate is not Clint. They use the same hero name but they're different people, and, at least theoretically, put a different spin on the original's dynamic. The difference in the situations is that this is Logan. It's clearly intended to be a big Wow! Cool! moment but for me at least it falls flat because it seems like it's happening just for the sake of being unexpected. And also because the Frank Castle appearance was pretty popular so the management is on the look out for situations where they can do stuff like that again. Also I don't see a clear line of how Wolverine would become Phoenix. I mean aside from dying and coming back to life. But it's comics to that's not that noteworthy. The phoenix has always been shown to go for pyschics as it's avatars if it has a choice. So why wolverine? Though they do both like redheaded telepaths so I guess they could bond over that. Who knows, maybe it'll work out well. This is just my reaction to seeing a single splash panel.

I think the previous bazillion issues of Jason Aaron's Thor has earned him enough good will to trust him on this one thing. It's not like this is the first time a character has been shoved into a wildly inappropriate cosmic role for a gag.  Edit:for some reason this issue doesn't seem to be on Marvel Unlimited because ours is not the best of all possible worlds, so I don't know what happens in the actual story.

Because he's the last being in all of existence. You don't get picky when your choices are 'have a host' or 'dissipate into the vast, cosmic nothingness that is the end of all reality.' Though honestly I think that the Hulk would out-live even Wolverine. I know they did a comic where he had just continued to loving survive for ages.

Galvanik posted:Calling it anger is wrong. It's more like weariness. Yes, I'm sure 'management' is why Jason Aaron, who's been telling this Thor story in installations over several years, would suddenly decide to drop this cameo in his book. It's definitely because the Frank Castle As Cosmic Ghost Rider thing that was done by an entirely different author was so popular that someone marched into Aaron's writing space with a copy of the comic and told him to do the same kind of thing. Yep. That's gotta be it. The writer, after all, has zero agency in this sort of thing, and there's clearly no reason to believe that he's telling this story for a reason that may range anywhere from ''there's actually a really good reason for this and you will find out when I'm done" to "gently caress it I thought it would look cool." Let me guess, you thought Jane Foster as Thor was editorially mandated too. (psst that was sarcasm)

Or maybe comic book writers are nerds themselves and will cream their pants at the chance to make their epic childhood fanfiction canon.

Keeshhound posted:Why is a comic that was literally made as a tie-in/advertisement for a fighting game so drat good? I keep asking this myself. I am trying to find a good answer beyond those posted and it just seems to boil down to the creators having fun and hence being inspired to keep doing whatever they feel like to keep having fun. It shouldn't work, in some ways, because writers doing whatever tends to draw the sometimes righteous ire of editors. But maybe, since it was "just" a tie-in comic the editors showing benign neglect towards the series is on purpose. And, since the two big staples of Supes and Batman are more or less leveled in power when they use things like those pills they used to have, they don't have to keep figuring out contrivances to keep the story going.

MikeJF posted:Isn't this them acnowledging that? "Yeah, we're never going to let wolverine loving die, are we. I know it, you know it, here he is at the end of time." I hate what I'm about to say, but Claremont's stated idea for the End of All Things is Wolverine (as the Immortal Undying Killer) and Jean (as the Embodiment of Love, Life, and Rebirth) finally getting together in the dead universe and starting the next one. I first heard that on J&M X-Plain while in my car, and I rolled my eyes for so long the guy behind me honked because I wasn't going at the light. Claremont is responsible for the X-Men I love, and in a very real way responsible for the kind of superhero comics I love, but his Big Ideas are universally incredibly stupid.

Don't go for that "chaos rippling against the laws of physics for billions upon billions of years" thing, if you want a universe you have to have some kind of guiding force to make sure it ends up all right. Do you want infinity stones? Because that's how you get infinity stones.
