I've kept up with the new spider-man basicaly by reading BSS sadly Miles garners the same illogical gut reaction as Ben Riley of "Not MY spider-man!" if the trend continues I'll pick up most of his issues from half off long boxes and start liking him. The funeral issue for Peter was probably worth it just to see the emotional fallout from the mandatory alternate universe Peter Parker death. That little girl part was like a punch in the soul for me and got me thinking about how many regular people Peter probably saved off camera, we get the highlight reels not the day to day grind.

LightsGameraAction posted:EDIT: Straight up out-thinking Reed wouldn't have worked since he's advanced about 1000 years ahead of anyone else, out-thinking him by realizing that because of how advanced he is he thinks he holds all the marbles, and has forgotten that chaos is a fundamental mechanic of life is great. That's a good point Reed had spent a thousand years controlling all the variables in his little experiment and had practically forgotten that he could be surprised.

Kaleidoscope posted:I don't really think it's racism by the people who were miffed by the changes as much as comic purists. Thread was originally meant to be a [poor] joke. No there was a shitload of racism that was followed by "I'm not racist it's just because of continuity" after people got called on it. Even now when it gets brought up by some angry pod-caster or blogger it's pretty much "I'm not a racist, I've got black friends but NICK FURY ISN'T BLACK!"

Well it was the nature of the beast to take more risks sadly the ultimate universe is not allowed the level of continuity fluidity to ignore the many risks that didn't pay off. I do confess I hold Loeb largely responsible for the current mess. He hopped onto a surefire property (which if you pay attention he always seems to do) and ran things into the ground.

I doubt it. They'll push through a few faltering titles for NOW but the ultimite line suffers sales wise form the same thing most people here like about it, it's very different from the current marvel universe. It did it's best numbers when it was just retelling old stories with a twist the further it strayed the worse the numbers got. Now thanks to Loeb sweeping all the pieces from the board it's too alien for most people to get into. I think the Ultimate line is turning out to be proof that sticking with bad decisions just for the sake of maintaining continuity is a mistake.

And they don't confirm it was Ultimate Nick Fury just that it's one of his disguises that are supposed to be genetically locked to him but since the traitor is moving shield tech it's basically a guaranteed red herring.

I hope his parents/shield/whoever just puts the loving hammer down on his 13 year old rear end and says "not until you're eighteen." Every-time Bendis finds some reason for everybody to give Miles a pass on that when the last Spider-Man died before he hit seventeen feels like because the story says so bullshit.

Did the Ultimate line even release digitally for those? I honestly can't remember, which is a sign most people probably didn't know about it if it did. If a guy who reads BSS didn't know about it who the hell did?

Eh it's astronomically rare but you can end up with "identical" opposite sex twins. One of the twins loses their Y chromosome and ends up with X chromosome Monosomy/turner's syndrome. Drew is a comic writer "a quick google search says that can happen no time for further research off we go!" version of that.

Opposite sex twins do not have the same DNA. Identical (as opposed to fraternal) twins are the only ones that are equivalent to clones.

Well we know they are going to have ongoing but have they said the comics are going to print? I figure the lagging Ultimate universe might end up a proving grounds for a digital only release, or maybe digital and a very limited print run test. Of course it might just be a run of the mill event to drive up sales.

It's no use arguing some people just want to watch a character languish in obscurity and get killed for a body count bump as long as it can be "in canon".

If the speculated "Miles comes to the 616 and beats Doc SpOck" comes true the first thing Doc Ock is going to do for his "badass" comeback is kill Miles off panel/in one page and leave him strung up and bloody for Peter to find, you can  me on that.

I'd rather him die with his universe then watch him get strung along with none of the things that made him a good character left. Anyway as disconnected from the rest of the line Bendis writes Ult. Spiderman all Hunger ending the Ult. Universe means is when he gets tired of it five years from now we know how he ends the series.

It's easy to see where the dude is coming from you want to write a story and let it speak for itself but people won't stop bugging you to confirm or deny how they think it's going to end. If you don't say anything people take it as confirmation but if you deny it you rob your story of tension. That poo poo has got to get to you eventually. While speculation and spoilers long predate the internet readers and writers have much more access to each other now then ever before. Gone are the days where you just stop opening mail and relax you are now expected to play PR guy all the time. One outburst doesn't an rear end in a top hat make. I'm pretty frustrated by the rumor because it'd be mind numbingly stupid, like DC editorial "gently caress you I'ma break everything!" level stupid, to kill Ultimate Spider-man when it still moves the numbers and gets the critical acclaim it does.

Teenage Fansub posted:I bet the intention is to carry the book over and blam the rest, seeing as it's the one well regarded thing in the place. Nobody has been able to give a good reason why they would bother carrying Miles over into the 616 and stripping him of almost his entire supporting cast. The Mayday Parker Spider-Girl was the only comic set in MU2 or whatever it was called for years by virtue of fan support, Ult. Spider-man has fan, critic and finical support. I mean Loeb's not ghost writing the event is he?

I didn't see a whole lot get undone except re-powering Thor with Reed's future tech and Ult. Tony resurrecting himself with the gems the first chance he got which was very in character. Hell most of what Reed did was beneficial and didn't get undone.

Is everybody mixing up Infinity and Hunger? Because I don't really see the connection between this and Infinity aside from trying and failing to use the Infinity Gems while the connection to Hunger is pretty spelled out.

Sigma posted:This arc of Ultimates ends with a mad woman trying to get ahold of the Infinity Gems to save the world from the events of the future, as well as showing a side dimension where everything has been destoryed. Both of those things are plot points directly out of Hickman's run on Avengers. See I saw it as an obvious set up for Hunger's Super Galactus, not an incursion, destroying the universe. Devourer of Worlds elevated to Devourer of Universes.

Waterhaul posted:That was kind of obvious once they announced that Bendis/Bagley was doing Cataclysm but I was at least hoping that Fialkov would get to do at least something interesting with the book. Even keeping Super Galactus would've been a fun addition. I've had a think about it and I believe the point of hunger was actually to nerf Galactus for the Ultimate Earth, which is down most of it's heavy hitters and wouldn't be able to convincingly give a non-wounded Galactus a fight.
