Yeah but I've never seen Jesus fly through the air and shoot lightning at Ultron either.

So if my rear end is on the line I'd be calling for Thor before Jesus.

I think there’s a few characters that were alluded to being Jesus (the Aquarian, and some guy from Ghost Rider), but even these days, Marvel doesn’t want to directly say a character is Jesus.

Thinking about Dark Reign and Secret Empire, and how the us government was legally taken over by nazi supervillains twice in a few years, how much poo poo has an ordinary person in the Marvel universe lived through? Excluding New Yorkers of course because then the list becomes absurd. But just a regular 30 year old living in like, Chicago or San Antonio or whatever. How many society-changing events have happened in the course of their life?

Dark Reign was just Norman Osborne taking over the security state, not the government itself, I feel like it wouldn't have changed your life that much if you were an average citizen in Chicago or whatever.

While I'm still enjoying Judgment Day, my biggest criticism of Gillen is that he has always been too wordy. It tends to muddy the stakes and undercut tension. It turned me off Once and Future King and it's dancing close to turning me off Judgment Day when he ends up filling pages saying stuff like failing to tip a taxi cab can lead to global annihilation. Making a cosmic judge seem petty gives him character at the expense of his purpose. I was also extremely underwhelmed by how he used Uranos.

It's still mostly good, and I like the inclusion of Eros and how issue 4 ended, it's just not quite where I'd want it to be. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to issue 5.

When is the Franklin button going to get pushed and we have a Pet Galactus vs zombie Celestial fight? Can Franklin still do that? I'm not up to date on FF stuff.

Or a Moira clone is going to get yeeted to get through this? The Judgement Celestial's judging just seemed incredibly flawed, I feel like another cosmic being needs to call it out so it can back off.

Honestly my headcanon has long been that reality is such an unstable pile of Swiss Cheese for the main Marvel and DC Universes that most of these events soft retcon themselves out of existence after a couple in-universe months for anyone who isn't directly involved or connected to the whole Superhero/Supervillain thing*, so for example say in a couple years we have an event where a literal Giant Sized Man-Thing eats most of Dallas, super tragic and edgy loss of civilian lives and property, but within six months Dallas will be completely back to normal even for the people who got eaten and stuff, unless of course you have some new character show up who has a connection to that event(like say it results in someone becoming Woman-Thing) then it still specifically applies to that person

Funny you should mention Dallas, because that was randomly where Fall of the Mutants took place for the main X-Men team, during which large chunks of the city was reality warped by a cosmic being.

Calling it now: this entire 'judgment' is just it deliberately flailing around and making the biggest mess possible in hopes that once it gives a big thumbs up or down the real Celestials will turn up and fix it into proper inscrutability.

Marvel has too many alternate spider characters. The artist didn't know this, which isn't a surprise. Artists are too busy drawing to keep up with a lot of things. But the editor absolutely should have caught that.

If you follow artists on social media a lot of times they'll be like "I don't know who this character is" and just google references. I don't blame them at all. It's up to the editor to catch that since the artist probably provided rough sketches before they finished it up. Or assistant editor or whoever.

In the replies to the tweet the artist says Marvel just sent over a list of characters to include. The wife of the Spinnerette artist is also in the replies and says that they see the funny side, everyone seems to be chill about it which is good because I have minimal faith in Marvel the corporate entity handling this anywhere near as well.

It certainly does seem like an honest mistake instead of when Marvel just ignored their artists blatantly cribbing from Warhammer 40K designs.
