The Question IRL posted:Speaking of mean spirited, has anyone seen the Force Unleashed 2? Still not as mean-spirited as Marvel's Ruins, which is two issues of "Pretty much every would-be Marvel hero died horribly of cancer and being a mutant is a fate worse than death. The end."

Gavok posted:Still not as mean-spirited as Marvel's Ruins, which is two issues of "Pretty much every would-be Marvel hero died horribly of cancer and being a mutant is a fate worse than death. The end." Was that the one where it was Nick Fury driving around investigating all these new 'superheroes' appearing? And how they all die horrible horrible deaths almost instantly? "Bruce Banner gets dosed by gamma radiation and turned into The Hulk" but the Hulk is just 10 million different types of Turbo Cancer? Sue Richards skin becomes invisible, Johnny is just on fire screaming, etc, etc It felt super mean spirited, but it was also attempting a 'realistic' take of what would happen if mutants and heroes appeared in the real world.

There's also a bit where Professor X is responsible for keeping the mutants under government control and he's done poo poo like amputate Quicksilver's legs. The bit where it shows a newspaper with a photograph of Galactus's corpse and the headline "GOD FOUND DEAD IN SPACE" is where it verges into parody territory.

AnonSpore posted:Don't forget that Peter Parker also got megacancer due to being bitten by, you know, a radioactive spider Also he was contagious and spread it to the reporter, whose imminent death from radiation poisoning then prompted his journey to find out what happened to all the superhumans. This is a reveal near the end of the book, and also features a panel of Peter mutating into a horrible spider monster and dying in an alleyway soon after he comes into work sick and infects the protagonist.

Ruin isn't helped by ending early because the art team went through some poo poo. Maybe it wouldn't have been quite so mean spirited with a little more to it?

I remember Warren Ellis did an interview with Wizard magazine where they asked if if there was anything they asked him to cut from Ruins. He talked about a scene where Dr. Strange was smoking dope (makes sense. Early 90s were not permissive when it comes to Cannabis. ). And a scene where Baron Mordu summons Dormamu, who proceeds to rape him. If true, I think Editorial were doing their job that day.

I always wondered about this. The art changes pretty drastically right in the middle of the 2nd issue and it seems like the whole story just wraps up way too soon. And the FF thing was even worse than that. Johnny starts burning from the inside out and bursts into flame. He stumbles around and lands on top of Sue, who turned invisible and freaks out because she’s now blind. So Johnny essentially burns his sister alive. Doom took Ben’s place and was turned inside out, and Reed was torn apart from his skin stretching off his bones. It’s revealed later that essentially the whole thing is Ben Grimm’s fault - he refused to go because of the shielding issues, and Doom’s arrogance caused them to be overexposed.

Because a hilarously cynical tacticlol realism version of the 616 is about as 90s as you can possibly get? Like, the whole thing is just a very silly, pitch black What If, almost as if it was a ever escalating bet in the pub over what is the absolute worst possible outcome for the Marvel origins. Too bad it didn't include an epilogue where Spider-Ham is a radioactive bacon sandwich, Howard lands behind a restaurant and gets served up a l'orange, and Black Bolt forgets himself and accidentally tells Lockjaw to "fetch".
