I mean I have adored this character since I was a child and I couldn't give less of a crap what Stan "the man" Lee thinks because he did fuck all during his tenure at the company beyond stealing credit

I mean, yeah, it's dumb, but at the same time, I don't get the outrage, exactly. Not the first time this sorta thing's happened, and it's usually just mind control/cosmic cube/etc shenanigans, so it just strikes me as a bit odd people that people are treating it so...controversially? Don't get me wrong, it IS dumb and a plot point that makes 0 sense, but the sheer amount of drama over it just seems a bit...eh to me.

Either way, from what I've seen of the issue, SOME sort of mindfuckery is afoot, so it's probably less "Cap was hydra all along!" and more someone made him THINK he was, since the former has so many issues that it'd never work as a premise.

Dude, it's modern Marvel, shit could last for about a year before some idiotic conclusion just lead into some horrible looking feminazi replacing Cap.

Marvel is lost and most fans fully expect it to die when people stop going to their movies. All DC needs to do is stop focusing all their money on making movies and take over the small screen or shoot all their heads and replace them with people who don't want to keep recycling things.

Marvel, die? Naaah. I hardly doubt one or two dumb things is going to kill one of the two big comic book companies. :V

What DC needs to do though is get out of this grimdark obsession. BvS probably could have been a decent movie if they weren't obsessed with edginess to the point of messing up characters. But nah, it's all boring, basically monochrome destruction in the movies, if what I've seen is any indication.

Oh, and on the comics end, them retconning Watchmen into the DC universe as the creators of the New 52 universe(Well, Dr.Manhattan is heavily implied to have created the New 52 universe) is really dumb and confusing. Not to mention basically blaming the New 52 on Watchmen(In the issue, it's actually said that 10 years of history removed and stuff was stolen to weaken the heroes and make the world more cynical, which, uh...), doesn't really come off well for DC. Not to say Rebirth is a BAD idea, just the execution...doesn't seem all that great, yeah.


Oh, and I guess I'm not dead. Hi!

Marvel has been hugely bleeding customers; hell, at some point comic stores pointed out that both Marvel and DC had fans coming in droves to cancel all their orders and asking for Image and Dark Horse or whoever instead. While DC may have started to try and get back to what fans like, Marvel has been running full steam ahead into the abyss that is Tumbler pandering. They're remodeling characters to be ugly when they're not outright replacing them, their stories have all been terrible and have been recycling old but recent shit (why is there a new Civil War, the first one sucked and lead to shitty period), the majority of their artists and writers are fanfiction tier and I mean the kind of fans that become fans because its' popular so the fan fiction is way crappier than usual crappiness.



I don't even need to read Iron Man to know that it's shit and wordy as fuck.

Marvel thought they could get away with selling a five dollar book that looked like it was drawn by an angsty sixteen year old, they deserve all the bad sales they get

Huh, really? I heard nothing but good things about that Squirrel Girl comic, at least on the scans site I frequent. The art's a bit odd, but nothing about it seems 'angsty' to me.

It is entirely Tumbler shit, that's why it's not angsty, because it relies on terrible jokes and bullshit story, it's the people I'm calling angsty. Nuangst niggrums. Maybe you shouldn't hang around them, sounds like they don't really care about anything they upload, just the attention they'll get.

Iunno if I'd call the art -bad-, just cartoonishly stylized. Faces do look a little odd, though, but the positive stuff I've heard seems to far outweigh the negative.

The art is terrible, just because you don't give two shits about actual skill put into artwork doesn't mean people who have to pay 5 bucks a pop for a 15-18 page comic should do the same. Cape comics, like Shounen manga, is partly about how well it looks and how they beat the villain which webcomic tier art and a writer that plays a joke mary sue character straight is nowhere near.

Please tell me, what could possibly be positive of such an ugly piece of shit and you better not say anything involving how thick the artist made Squirrel Girl.
