The Ellis run is good, but let's be frank it's just another Ellis series of cool rear end dude doing cool rear end things because he's awesome, which is great. Lemires run actually feels like something is happening with the character, using things specific to that character, whereas to me Ellis's run could be about Batman or Nemesis or any of the other hyper competent people he has written.

I dream of a TV series using elements from both Lemire and Ellis's run. Also get Gabriel Byrne to play Khonshu.

For a minute I was thinking of Millar's Nemesis guy then I remembered that Dr. Nemesis is also a thing, but I don't think Ellis wrote either, they are just very much in his style. Batman autopiloting batwing to smash guys on roofs would be something real special. Gravel would be a pretty cool show.

Nah, it's got solid Moon Knight elements. From mystical elements like Khonshu and fighting ghosts to his mental illness to Moon Knight fitting the role of a protector of those that travel at night to his changing costumes, etc. I think perhaps it's just a bit more subdued because both the volume before and after it went all in with the "LOOK HOW INSANE HE IS!" angle.

And he was brought back because Hydra valued only strength? Only for it to bite them in the rear end. Makes me wish the reveal happened in the main book versus NazSteve.

Okay, is Ares seriously back or is this just like the Sentry appearing for a cup of coffee in Uncanny Avengers and then disappearing for 5 years? Because I could definitely do with more Ares.

I like it better than the famous Doom page because Fisk actually struggles for a moment instead of just being the Marvel version of Batgod.

I'll explain my point of view in the common geek language of wrestling. If Roman Reigns no sells someone, it's awful. But if Rey Mysterio wins a match after after a long, hard fight, that's awesome. Doctor Doom is basically Roman Reigns; Potentially cool with mostly terrible writing.

That's an utterly bullshit analogy, both because Reigns is FAR less popular than Doom has ever been, and again, because no selling people like Kilgrave is Doom's entire raison d'etre; He's a supervillain who is inherently above other supervillains. Sorry this is giving you so much trouble, but this hill you've chosen to die on is a very dumb one.

You're taking this way more seriously than I am. That's not even in response to anything, it's just like, I didn't think the disagreement we were having was that enflamed. Anyway, another more serious analogy might be if Doom flicked the Beyonders away with his fingers. Doom is cool because he comes out on top of massively one sided uphill battles. It's not cool if he can just step over the hill. As the Kingpin does, I can buy Doom resisting Kilgrave, but not without even a flinch.

Doom is probably also augmented to gently caress with internal technology and mystical bullshit. Dude naked in a field would probably count as superhuman.

But Doom is a villain. If other villains make Doom their bitch, then how are we supposed to take a powered hero fighting Doom seriously? Unpowered heroes should have uphill struggles for the audience to root for, absolutely but villains need to be powerful because they ARE the uphill struggle for the hero to overcome. Doom has to be better than Purple Man for story purposes because Purple Man was frankly (until Alias) Z-tier. Doom has to be able to credibly fight the entire Fantastic Four on his own. You could argue that having unpowered villains for powered heroes is therefore a bad idea in storytelling terms, which would be a different conversation (which again, we should otherwise we wouldnt have Doom, but it' still be a more interesting discussion). To put it in terms you might understand; You want Andre to bump for the Brooklyn Brawler on TV days before a PPV match with Hogan.

TenCentFang posted:Did Kilgrave make Fisk his bitch? Fisk wasnt actually that big a deal until Daredevil became popular (he was created as a spider-man villain, but spider-man had way more interesting enemies who could do everything Fisk could do AND were a physical threat). Fisks main opponent is now one guy who isnt as blind as a regular blind guy, and he doesnt have to be a physical threat (although he is shown to be very strong and able to hold his own in a fight with Daredevil. I think he's at least once said to have trained Sumo believe it or not). Can you imagine a fight between Fisk and the Fantastic Four or the Avengers?
