CharlestheHammer posted:I already mentioned the dumb rationalization part, but I guess having it fleshed out is nice. T'Challa was right back then.  If this entire story ends in any other way than the Illuminati realizing their entire approach was wrong-headed and they should've told... everyone... I'll be very surprised.

It's mostly surprising because of how Greg Pak made no bones about Hulk being the undisputed champion of punches during his long run with the character, to the point of just barely beating the loving Sentry in an all-out brawl.

SirDan3k posted:The not-JLA were always going to be stronger, impossibly strong in fact, so they'd have enough hubris to they think they can hope their way into fixing the incursion. Ideal circumstances and perfect beings who've never had to compromise themselves for a second of course they think they can fix it. It'd be a lot more interesting to me if the story had a Night of the Living Dead type twist and the Justice League guys succeeded with ease and solved the entire problem, making the Illuminati look like heartless jackasses.

I was honestly expecting Namor to be secretly horribly remorseful from killing all those Wakandans and therefore unwilling to kill when this book started, but that was well before I dropped it because Hickman.

The Question IRL posted:The problem with the morality in Civil War was you had a dozen different writers all writing different takes on the Registration Act. And all of them made it seemed to have different ideas. (JMS was probably the worst when he came to it.) Oh no my friend, the worst, as usual, was Dan Slott, as he wrote the pro-reg side to be training children to be murderous soldiers and had their R&D department run by a literal nazi. He also had She-Hulk beat the poo poo out of Straw Iron Man while yelling at him about how dumb registration was and how it made him JUST LIKE DR DOOM  , and he had no counter-arguments.

Gavok posted:Yeah. He made a couple appearances since in the afterlife via Secret Warriors and Chaos War, but the most we've gotten is a plot by his evil son to resurrect him. Herc foiled it, which was weird, since the arc treated it like Ares coming back would be this terrible thing. Greg Pak just completely ignored all of Ares' character development and wrote him as a 60s villain any time he used him. It's part of the weird stubborness that pops up every so often in his writing.

Namor is almost always at best a morally grey character if not an outright villain, it's not really difficult to salvage him doing something supervillainish. Also yeah, his horrible crime is not something that actually happens in real life and is problematic to have in a hero's past.

Well, logically the Marvel earth should have laws about such things since extradimensional beings and aliens were proven to exist decades ago, but that kind of logical societal adaptation to the fantastic elements would make it hard to write really dumb stories about congress being opposed to superheroes so I suppose there isn't a system in place.

Red Skull's worn a mask most of the time. He had a real skull face for most of the 90s but that was a temporary situation. For some reason they always make it a real skull face in movie adaptations.

Any time I try to get into the premise at all I just end up realizing how stupid it is to give superheroes a no win scenario that can't be solved without huge moral compromises. Like you know in the first Spider-man movie when the Green Goblin drops that busload of orphans and MJ and tells Spider-man he can only save one? And then Spider-man saves both because he's a superhero? This entire premise is like that on a grander scale, but instead of manning up and doing the impossible, the heroes are just whining at each other about what sacrifices need to be made.

Skwirl posted:Oh yeah, he takes off his mask and makes the most hilarious kissy face at her. Ultimate Spider-man has always been great, but I honestly think it lost a step when Bagley left. I couldn't disagree more. Bagley's art was serviceable at best, and the book never felt as alive as it did when Immonen was on it. Also, Bagley drew Spidey as an anorexic twelve year old girl in the spandex, which you could argue is what a nerdy 15 year old would look like wearing it, but then everyone is surprised he's just a teen when he unmasks.

Yvonmukluk posted:I keep trying to get into Hickman's Avengers, but I just find everyone involved too unlikeable. Why should I care about any of these people? They're just being petty assholes instead of addressing the real problem. Plus the whole 'Illuminati blew up a planet after murdering its superheroes who were looking for another way'. Still having trouble getting over that. I mean it's a well-told story, but I just can't muster up the energy to care. You should probably stop reading it, then. I stop reading comics I don't like, and it's greatly improved my quality of life. Just because everyone gushes about it doesn't mean you have to force yourself to get into it. Hickman will eventually leave the book when he's done blowing up everything and having Reed Richardses make out with each other, and then you can give Avengers another shot.
