Servoret posted:To be fair, Professor X brainwashes like every bad guy the X-Men face during the Lee/Kirby run. It's not like Bendis is writing him too out of character. No, it's just grimdarking up a character's actions from a time when comics handled morality differently. If they were playing up the 90's extreme justice era as canon more people would be pissed.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:There's only one company running (most) comics distribution, Diamond, and they're pretty much a monopoly. So when they gently caress up no one can really make them knock it off. Which means it's entirely possible that Diamond hosed up your shop's order... or it's possible that your shop is run by imbeciles. Honestly, it's plausible either way. But mostly plausible the Diamond hosed up way.

Chinaman7000 posted:Look guys I need this settled ASAP, I can't keep revising this month's erotic fanfic newsletter Of course she can make functioning balls but it sill takes her time to produce sperm. So she probably still has them just in case the Destiny resurrection subplot in Wolverines goes anywhere. Obviously she stores them in like the ribcage just like any sane man would if we had the choice.

They later revealed/retconed that the mind controlling super alien was mind controlling the Avengers as well. Which works really well with how mind bogglingly dumb they were, "This baby seems to want to play with my welding equipment, that's just peachy keen!"

Now, now, it doesn't all come down to misogyny, there is a heaping helping of resentment at Lois for being the subject of "Why can't people recognize superman in glasses?" jokes that keep people from seeing comics as a seriously adult medium with blood and everything.

Yeah that's what I mean anybody that just picks it up will get sad no matter what their level of familiarity is. It can be thrown onto any character in any book and you are going to get emotional investment from 80% of people. It's kicking the dog, killing the cop three days from retirement, orphaning the child, it's just a blunt instrument that works on getting reader involved but requires no effort on the writers part. It's poo poo but it's poo poo that people lap up.

I vaguely remember them having a wizard duel that Dr. Strange won in like four panels and then had Camelot adventures. Probably retconed when Merlin was turned into a space and time cop for Captain Britain.
