Nilbop posted:This drove me absolutely crazy and just stunk of self-indulgent writing, which stunk because I quite like Judgment Day's whole set up of "You're all being judged by an impossible unknowable force, you can't punch your way out of this, it's down to you to be worthy." He didn't castigate the main threat. He argued successfully that the people who could judge him best where his friends and family. And given those are the ones Cyclopes has hurt the most with his flaws, actually makes sense. My only nitpick is that the Celestial didn't bring up Madelyne Pryor. I also think it's silly to assume that Gillen didn't sign off on this development.

I mean the acelestials also are already castigated in that they are supposed to be galactic threats that only show up to get owned. Basically the Galatus problem

Thought to lookup some DUKE MIGHTEN arts after being reminded of his short run on the second ACCIDENT MAN book in the early nineties Yuup, that sure is a Punisher design right there. I liked his abrupt, blocky characters in the AM book (and later BRATS BIZARRE in the same comic) - this, less so.

It's a stupid loving argument because it means a pile of terrible people can just be terrible and it's fine, because by their individual standards it's all cool to giant robot man. So basically Purple Man is morally immaculate, but Captain America fails. That's not judgement, that's just giving a pass to narcissists.

At the very least, I don't see Mystique regretting any of her past actions or failures.

maybe if mystique and destiny each said, "no one can judge me except my wife" they would've gotten a pass

Today's comics showed more of the Judgement process in AXE, including how some of the previous judgements panned out the way they did. I won't spoil, but so far it seems Cyclops passed by calling out the Celestial's gimmick before they had the chance to deploy it.

CharlestheHammer posted:The celestials do not give a poo poo about morality, that’s not what they are here for Are you even reading this event? It's explicitly about the personal morality of each individual person that they are judged. That's....that's just what the event is. And this isn't a 'real' Celestial, it's a Celestial made with the assistance of Tony Stark and Mr Sinister. Like the Celestial judged a woman for not doing enough to pursue her poetry. That's it, one more step in damning the planet because someone didn't give their all for their art. That is entirely the level of stakes the Celestial is working on.

I know it’s really dumb so if you are going to say they are out of character then yes, but if you accept the event premise you can’t really get mad at it for following it’s own rules

I still think the best rebuttal to Scott saying "only my wife can judge me" is to go "sure" and bring in Madelyn

Sort of like a cop handing out parking tickets while there's a shooting spree a block away. All these times, Pete didn't help because he wasted his super strength and smarts on this random dude.
