I love how people act like big changes like this haven’t been happening for the longest time.
I guess people just forget, and when the next thing comes up they get all “Comics are so dumb now, they used to be good and stable and made sense” and shit like that despite them actually being more ridiculous in their changes in the past.
So now we’ve been over two of the four big changes happening, girl Thor, and black Cap.
Now we still have the “Superior Iron-Man” in San Francisco, and he’s apparently going to be an anti-hero of sorts like “Superior Spider-Man” without the mind swap.
I actually like that armor, I always hated that red and gold color scheme, and the black and gold suit wasn’t much better.
Then we got poor old Wolverine who is going to die shortly.
This is the only one that really bugs me, because i’m a firm believer that Wolverine is one of the only Marvel characters who shouldn’t be killed, not because they’re popular or anything like that, but because it’s just how their characters should be portrayed(others would include the Punisher, Deadpool, the Juggernaut, Taskmaster, etc.). It just fits their characters to be unkillable, but not unbeatable.
When I picture specs he is riding a spaceship into the sun, to blow it up into a billion pieces of fat horny girls.
And his co-pilot. This Dr B character…Words haven’t been invented yet that can describe the…procedures of life…that he endeavours to achieve.
Can we call this giant fuck of an attempt by Marvel to change shit up “Don’t worry we’ll reboot all this shit gradually over the next 5 years so you don’t equate us with DC”?
I realize that makes no sense, but neither does anything DC or Marvel does, with their comics.
I find it odd that people seem to have made up the minds about the new characters before anything really has happened since the announcement. The announcement itself among all the other changeups among the Marvel world looks like a publicity stunt, sure, but there’s no real detail on anything else, for better or worse.
ANd even if it did start as a publicity stunt, if the writer/art teams can get a good story going out of them, why not?
(I’m fairly sure Quesada is still in charge in at least some capacity for some reason.)
I mean, he appeared on The Colbert Report last night–Wednesday–to explain the Captain America thing and I literally recoiled and only partly due to surprise.
No one’s saying she can’t be a good character; it’s just that we’re cynical about the motives behind this and don’t expect her be a good character because of that. It’s not that it can’t happen; it’s just that it’s unlikely to given Marvel’s history.
No one in here is going to be frothing at the mouth if fem-Thor turns out to be a good, interesting and/or likable character. Well, until Marvel inevitably does something to her to let original Thor get back his powers.
It’s ultimately up to Marvel to overcome its own bullshit since there’s really nothing all that inspiring about something starting out as a publicity stunt even if some good can still come of it.
(But, yeah, I don’t touch superhero comics anymore, so her fate doesn’t really affect me.)
No lie. I wouldn’t mind this being Gwen Stacy, if only because it gives Marvel yet another way to fuck over poor Peter Parker.
Then please do enlighten us to “the point”, master of jnana. Dr. B bless him, specs at least tried to do without being (completely) condescending, even if he seems to have only lost people the further he tried to clarify what said “point” actually is.
I may not agree with whatever “the point” is, but I’m fine with being made aware of it.
If it’s that Wolverine would make a better Black Panther than T’Challa, then, well, duh. The only person who doesn’t get that is RockBogart.
-Ultimate Spiderman: From the Ultimate universe where Peter got his shit wrecked and died. He’s the youngest and is black. Costume is black with red web printing.
-Scarlet Spider: A bad boy clone of Spider-man, is the second and more violent scarlet spider. He’s the biggest one and is in the all red suit with the black mask.
-Peter Parker.
-Superior Spiderman: Just Dr.Octopus in Peter Parker’s body after a mind-swap and the death of the latter.
-Spiderman 2099: A more badass Spiderman from the future. He’s also hispanic. In the crazy dark blue costume with sharp red designs and forearm spikes.
That isn’t Superior, that is Ben Reilly when he took over the Spider-Man mantle. That is his redesigned suit with the outward webshooters (Impact webbing!).
