I feel like people are acting like people are talking like people are accusing Slott of something a lot worse than being petty and it’s really weird

Karma Tornado posted:given that this whole thing reads like he's had it in the can since like 2006 there's a nonzero chance Slott actually started the Squirrel Girl is unbeatable running gag in the first place entirely to have it pay off with an otherwise nondescript space villain beating her and then saying like "and here I'd heard this INSIGNIFICANT EARTH WHELP had actually DEFEATED the MAD TITAN" with an editor's note that said "it's true, the Watcher said so!!" The talk to squirrels thing came up all the time in the Ryan North comic, and her slightly less nice duplicate used it to effectively conquer the world in the original graphic novel that came out.

The level of vitriol hasn't really risen above "I wish this comic writer I don't like would stop writing comics, and I especially hate it when they write comics about characters I like." People aren't wishing physical harm or financial ruin on him.

Yeah, Dan Slott has 100% been petty in the past and will continue to be so in the future. No doubt about that. Guys who engage with people that criticize them on Twitter like he does are always petty. But the pettiness in this thread towards him has also been a thing even when it's not warranted. Such as in this case. Also if anyone actually thinks that panel from the FF comic is petty then they're just looking for something to complain about. It's not. It's just basic Bad Guy Dialogue 101. If you want to call it hacky then by all means go ahead because it sure is that.

Remember that time Slott had Peter access Doc Ocks memories and he relived Ock and May banging? He's such a good writer.

Blockhouse posted:I don't think anyone would bat an eye at that if it wasn't written by Slott. The scene wouldn't exist but for him. That's the point. I find it hard to believe any other writer would include Squirrel Girl of all people in a serious scene to get stomped by his long-term project villain. Blockhouse posted:someone having a comic book character say something is not always a personal endorsement of the writer's views Blockhouse posted:okay so like that bit in gwenpool where the entire joke of the two-parter with deadpool is that gwen actually doesn't like deadpool that much means that chris hastings also dislikes deadpool because why would a comic writer ever give a character a personality trait or opinion that they do not also share Blockhouse posted:I don't deny that it's a sloppy attempt at playing up a villain and it doesn't work but I think the level of maliciousness people are getting out of it comes off as this thread's weird obsession with projecting every lovely thing they can think of onto Dan Slott Blockhouse posted:You don't understand. This guy wrote some comics I didn't like and called me a doodyhead on twitter. Therefore he is my mortal enemy. Let's cool it with the whole getting-mad-at-opinions-others-don't-have thing. Nobody is saying Slott should be tried in the Hague. They're saying a dude with a history of being publicly petty is being publicly petty.

If like him to be standing on a curb in front of a huge puddle and then the bus he's waiting for doesn't stop and instead splashes through the puddle soaking him to the bone.

Wishing continued employment writing comics is probably more akin to wishing financial ruin than the opposite tbh

Can I just mention how hilarious it is that the reaction here to this one preview is the most I've seen anyone talking about the 'Reckoning War' anywhere? It's the biggest event in Marvel comics that nobody seems to care about, and even other comics don't seem to be bothering to try and mention it. Hell, the villains still don't even have a page on the Marvel wiki!

Is Reckoning War really supposed to be viewed as most that just a storyline in a middling comic? At my store the one shots have had almost no takers, so I think the public is giving it the attention it deserves.

It's really hard to take an event seriously when the major inciting incident is the destruction of Earth's moon, yet they couldn't get a single other comic to reference this. Presumed significance is the life-blood of these big events, yet they basically telegraphed from the beginning that this would have zero ramifications beyond the event itself.

I woudn't even consider Reckoning War an event. It's just a crossover between a couple comics. I don't consider it an event unless it has a wider reach than a handful of titles. I'd say the last event we had was probably King in Black. Devil's Reign and this only affect a few books. Pretty much all of RW is contained in Fantastic Four and She-Hulk right?

Not even something like Nightcrawler going "Mein freunds! Look! The moon is destroyed!" Jack Russell realizing he can't transform into a wolf anymore. Nothing.

Conan leaving Marvel again. No more Conan comics at Marvel but they will continue to be able to reprint collections. Conan in Savage Avengers is likely still going to be a thing for the time being. Just not solo books. https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/marvel-conan-the-barbarian-rights-leaving-publisher/

I also don't think Conan published by someone other than Marvel will move anywhere near the same numbers. Also, googling to figure out how he isn't public domain, he is in most of the world and will be in America in 2028, so they better hurry because I bet Dynamite comics will start publishing crossovers with their version of John Carter the moment that happens.

This is why they're pulling it guaranteed. They want to get a few years of money in before anyone can publish them.
