Why Civil War II Doesn't Work - Comic Tropes (Episode 32) 

Dude they totally could've used the Punisher.. switching the characters doesn't change anything about the plot. 😂

If only

Batman...?

Bendis use forethought? Naw, gotta pump these f*ckers out!

@@friday6448 Batman is owned by DC.

BINGO, yes!

Not to mention literally fucking ANYTHING can happen in the marvel universe! By the time this happens they lived through several lifetimes of shit & her side wants to try to be preventative, absurdity at its finest.

well, idk about that. If the prediction would have otherwise come true had you not had the foreknowledge it would be accurate.

@@galarstar052 Could be, but it isn't. If a prediction can't account for the effect making the prediction causes, then there is at least some uncertainty. That makes him a valuable source of intelligence, yes, and certainly cause to act, but Danvers especially should be cautious about predictions that can be changed.

@@watchm4ker That is actually why I despise Civil War II so much... I'm a fan of Carol Danvers, have been way back when she still went by "Ms. Marvel"... which is why I know she would NEVER take the position of arresting people like this, it just doesn't makes any god damn sense when you consider both the actions she has taken and the things she's gone through Literally there are so many other characters; Namor, Reed Richards, maybe even Strange, who I could buy taking the position of arresting people based on future visions, but not freaking Carol Danvers, they only put her there because she was popular at the time due to the film announcement, not because it actually made sense to her character

Cuz now the people who go, "because it sucks" without saying why, can direct them to this vid.

+Tony Davis (Battlion50) Or they just read the comic and throw it away like I did.

Dude was I saying why it sucked from the start: bad out of character writing, a terrible plot solely driven by a plot device character created just for the event, and a conflict that made no sense. Tony flat stated why Ulysses's visions couldn't be perfect if they could be averted and Carol literally had no comeback for that, other than I might be able save someone who would have otherwise died so its worth it ignoring the obvious implication of Tony's point: you could also get people get people killed who would have lived something which had already happened at that point.

+Django Fett Yeah, but it had an interesting concept.

I kind of think the addition of Ulysses into the basic story was a problem. By which I mean, what if it was *Carol* who received these visions? That'd explain some of her conviction to believe in them, in a "You can't know, you weren't THERE!" kind of way. Instead we get this mystery kid with vague characterization who gets beamed off earth in the end as a clumsy ending to the ongoing crisis.

100x this. The first CIVIL WAR had a great premise, and then became a series of hamfisted character assassinations. It was this series that turned me away from being a long-standing regular Marvel reader. Curiosity led me to give CIVIL WAR 2 a shot, and I found that Marvel had learned shit-all from the first one, and once again decided to take a hero and make them an unlikable fascist, but worse. Dumb. Dumb. DUMB.

corvus1970 Civil war one was much better at the time. It was written pretty close after 911. At the patriotism was over shadowing a lot nunuance. I think it says more to how people viewed bush for a time

meh. civil war is fine at worst.

@Spider-Man Skipping the movie for this reason seems pretty silly to me. The Carol in the movie didn't do any of those things, and it's honestly a decent hero flick. Maybe give it a try!

Spider-Man While she’s not as bad in Captain Marvel, the movie is just so boring.

Her argument was nothing more than "It depends." 😂

He provides many interesting concepts that the comic never really explores. It makes a small different for street level to cosmic level. What of someone was to kill/murder someone against someone like Thanos getting the stones

The parallels to the MCU vs. Captain Marvel situation are fascinating. And she's in a relationship with Warmachine there? Funny... remember Brie Larson touching Don Cheadle's arm in that interview. His answer: "We talked about that."

@@gustavgnoettgen dude why you got to make this so weird, bringing up actors. Nobody cares

@@theMoporter dude why do you care and even answer. So weird.

Its honestly terrifying how effective it is as a tool to make people turn against each other. Its an incredibly well oiled machine that produces paranoia and suspicion at a ridicolous rate.

Maybe that is just how Orwell sees thoughtcrime, a convenient political fiction masquerading as a sci-fi concept. It should be said that thoughtcrime isn't exactly a concept absent from most legal codes, although usually it's just called criminal intent.

@@pentelegomenon1175 its not really the same thing. Criminal intent are the motivations behind a crime thats already been commited. Someone who commited a crime by accident is not morally the same as someone who commited a crime willingly and maliciously. Its to establish the criminals character as a moral agent and thus determine a more fitting sentence. Thought crime, in the context of wrongthink, is merely having thoughts that are not in line with the ones seemed acceptable by the state. They are by their very nature imposible to prove or disproof and merely serve to let you know(and those around you) that even your thoughts belong to big brother. You cant escape, even in your thoughts. Its very much intended to create an aura of paranoia and mistrust for everyone and even your very thoughts. You never know when someone might accuse you of wrongthink, you only know that youre screwed once they do. And by that same token you dont even know when you might actually commit thought crime, willingly or not.

A quote about children in 1984 "Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it… All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children."

And gets murdered by her for trying to do the right thing.

And unfortunately it doesn't work now if iron man had talked about how he went down this path with the registration act and what he learned from it

LOGIC ALWAYS BEATS EMOTION AT THE END

nny156 ironic how she is now Marvel’s flagship character.

The hero and the protagonist aren't necessarily the same thing.

not to mention that but bruce cant hulk out at that point. Though Marvel retconned that he was looking for a way to regain his gamma powers

But hey, it lead to Immortal Hulk. Which is amazing.

@@AlriikRidesAgain which is fair. Because wow is that book good.

+Jacob Keary Bruce wasn’t the hulk at the time. Another reason the visions were inaccurate.

He put a bullet in his head and the other guy spit it out.

Randolph Defreese Yeah, but Carol hasn’t really been a good character since she’s been Captain Marvel imo. She was at her best, at least to me, back as Ms. Marvel in the New Avengers era

I thought that what made her look bad was the face job, the hair cut, the boob reduction surgery, and the ass and legs reduction surgery? Ohh the other type of look bad.

Louis Victor That too lol

After Brie Larson, CM cannot be made to look any worse. Every time I see an image of CM, I'll always think of the, "I'm a noble, warrior, alien, hero princess" said with Brie's snarky irritating voice. They either need to make her into a villain or kill the character off in an embarrassingly spectacular fashion. Like how they killed Nightwing off in the Injustice comic: by tripping on his own baton while standing up in dead level, falling, and breaking his neck. Yeah, that kinda stoopid.

James Ooten on one hand, he didn’t trip on his stick; it was thrown at the side of his head. On the other hand, what a mind bogglingly stupid death.

sawy sauce I don’t know, he doesn’t look like bendis.

They could've made Ulysses the main villain like he can somewhat manipulating future events cause maybe he had a hatred for heroes when he lost his families or he could've be some small-time crook who gain superhuman ability and being using his newfound ability of messing with everyone in the superhero community, something.

​@@billymccrary2246That would have been a great plot twist, but it would have required Carol having to come to terms with how she made a huge, costly mistake and Marvel can't have even a slight stain on her character.

Some of the writers admit that the only real reason for this book was to tie in to the Civil War movie, so maybe this supposed to be some kind of poorly executed recreation of Spidey holding Cap's shield.

Can we address how again, that stupid twist of Cap being a traitor all along, goes against everything they just set up about him, and it's all for the sake of being "Unexpected"?

wait is Captain American in Civil War 2 not really Cap but actually Hydra Cap or am i just confused?

​@@SuperMcSteel yeah that's Hydra Cap. 2 years late but ye lol

Maybe. Couldn't you just as easily argue that Tony is locked into an "old" way of fighting crime, post hoc, and it's Carol who has accepted change into her life by trying out this "new" way of fighting crime: before-the-fact? I mean, we're trying to apply a really elegant idea, as proposed by a genious filmmaker, to a story that's just so ham-fisted and ill-conceived that I'm not sure it's gonna fit nicely no matter what. But that's, I think, the direction Chris was coming at it from, anyway.

@@Jesse__H I think it moreso it shows how poorly written the story is because we really have two immutable characters as villains trying to act as protagonist to each other.

CAROL IS EXTREMELY ARROGANT

Hero and protagonist are two different things

@@thealien2437 Carol is definitely the antagonist here. The antagonist's defining role is to be the main driver of the plot; essentially, to cause the problems that the protagonists then have to address. That is exactly what Carol does by misusing Ulysses's powers.

i agree some of these editors at these major websites only care about hits that's about it

Tevya Smolka ,that's so true bro

It could be that Tony learnt from the previous experience and doesn't want to punish people who haven't done anything wrong yet (like what was an unintended consequence of the hero registration). Tony repeating the same arc in this story would be pointless. If Tony and Steve Rogers swapped positions it would be terrible but having another new character enter the dynamic works.

@@jayzonedc6474 the issue however is that Tony never addresses that. Any of it. He doesn't say "Hey, Carol I've been where you are. I know how tempting it can be to want to solve the worlds problems in a quick and clean way..." It just never comes up. Which is crazy to me in what is essentially a sequel series.

@@jayzonedc6474 The problem is that Tony in Civil War is pretty much opposite to how he was back in Armor Wars, a previous time he and Cap were on opposite sides. Tony had no problem breaking into The Vault and disabling the Guardsmen armor (the technology of which WASN'T stolen, but that he sold) and allowing a mass break out.

Uh, that's what used to happen in monthly title comic books. They didn't need a 100 gazillion issue multi-arc crossover event for character development and problem-solving. That's why most older Marvel and DC character's series numbers are in the hundreds of issues, between 300-700 issue runs. That's why these characters are so beloved. The focus was on them in the spotlight of their own book, not trying to pick your favorite hero out in a splash page with a jeweler's magnifying lens. They didn't learn the lesson in a crossover study group. They graduated thru the school of hard knocks and you were there along for the ride. These guys make cookie cutter comics like Jason Bourne novels, but once you've read one, you've read them all. I would even settle for going back to the days when the crossover events only happened in the annuals, which were only published in the summer months when school was out. That way the crossovers didn't interfere with the flow of the monthly titles. It was left up to each creative team when or if any of the crossover details spilled over into the monthly title, like a costume change, new power/weapon, team member's injury/death, team addition, etc. That kept the monthly books free of interruptions & you had something to look forward to every summer besides break.

Tony learns from his mistakes

I feel like Starlin is the only one who can ever write Thanos and Adam Warlock well

@@dallasgrey4247 Agreed. I would throw Silver Surfer in there too but I haven't read any non Starlin Surfer stuff to say for sure.

Because comic books are a hobby that is not very popular. People only follow the movies and because of that they feel intimidated due to the years of of information and potential spoilers for upcoming movies. Video games, movies and tv series are much more popular themes that more people visit on the internet. Overall, I would say that this guy is pretty big for for your average comic book channel who usually don't last long.

Because he gives his opinion and doesn't plagiarize comic writers work like Comicstorian and that fat slob Comics Explained

I agree. His channel is incredible. I got into comicbooks in a big way a year ago and he's been a huge factor in my enjoyment.

Scott Sanders how does comicstorian plagiarize

@@scottsanders1485 Comics Explained literally explains comic book stories for the average person who doesn’t read comics and he also gives his opinion. He isn’t that far off from Comic tropes here. If you want to shit on him, be my guest. But pick reasons that make sense.

To be fair every book but Doctor Strange ignored Doctor Strange, Hercules and Scarlet Witch had their own "magic is dying" thing at the same time.

lettersndnumbers what’s weird about civil war 2 with Danny and luke is that Danny was in jail during the event and had a whole break out arc they shouldn’t even be in the main book

@@CAKECO. editorial needs to do their jobs...jeez...

Yes, I am fanboying. Because, it was an awesome series.

Especially, when Squirrel Girl, America, Captain Marvel, and Unbeatable Wasp sold less than 15,000; they were canceled after Infamous Iron Man for no reason.

Even though the smarter writers of DOOM know that DOOM is usually someone who considers himself a good guy and has valid reasons to.

That was so they could do Riri Williams as Iron Man/Ironheart so it could consistently sell between 8K-10K/month. I saw an old interview with Stan Lee talking about the heyday of Marvel in the 60's and early 70's. He said they put a creative team on a 3-month notice once sales hit 150K a month and cancelled anything that wasn't selling at least 100K per month. My, how the mighty Marvel has fallen. They don't have a single book that sells over 60K a month, and that's with making comic shops buy mandatory amounts of each title every month. That's with Marvel counting only what is sold to the comic shops as actual "sales." They don't keep track of, and will not allow comic shops to post what YOU the customer actually buy. It would be too damaging to the brand, to the stocks, and embarrassing all around. Unsold comics are not returnable. If Marvel puts out a crap series that no one buys, the comic shop takes the hit. Not many outside of the business know how dirty Marvel actually is to the local comic shops. They could ship an entire month's run blank on the inside & their sales numbers would not suffer. The comic shops bear all the financial risk while Marvel makes most of the profit. The shops only make cents to the dollar. They have to sell a LOT of comics just to break even. That's why you see comics shops selling back issues, DVD's, novels, action figures, posters, games, trading cards, holding events & card tournaments, selling refreshments & snacks. Comics get people thru the door, but they don't pay the bills. Even with having the shops over a barrel, Marvel still sees the shops as a financial liability. That's the real reason they keep trying to go digital. It ain't environmental because of the paper or because it's the digital age - it's because they're greedy SOB's and they want every single cent paid for the price of a comic. Remember that while you're holding on to a series that sucks over sentimental reasons or habit, all the while keep collecting it every month hoping it will get better, or something exciting will happen, or they'll change creative teams. Why are you loyal to a brand that's only loyal to the $$$? All you are or will ever be is a paycheck to them.

@@jamesooten3659 how do they keep of track of sales and know which titles are doing well in this case? Is it just based on online sales or what?

It's also odd that no one came up with a middle ground. It was use Ulysses or don't. What about using the visions as an investigative tool? You don't immediately arrest people, but get to the locations ahead of time and see if anything is going on. Background check the "perpetrators". Ask Miles to hold off being Spider-Man for a while.

Cap marvel cant change because she is a perfect symbol to fight patriarchy

@@ronniejdio9411 a hate how conservatives bring politics into every discussion, and then accuse liberals of being the one to do that.

@@anonymousoff-brand7538 " turn this off..I wanna watch the news " " this IS the news "

Hell no change can still be interesting even if they resolve to double down on their sins, and ignore them, because the results are all that matters. However the character needs to acknowledge it. To knowingly decide to stain one’s self with evil to destroy evil as it where. Is incredibly interesting.

That is the most compelling post in this column.

That's offensive to nickelback. Wow, never thought I would say that.

I'm through with standing in line at clubs I'll never get in

Why you insult Nickleback so much, they at least done something good, unlike certain MARVEL character

I can't believe I'm defending Nickelback but at least they have some diamonds in the turds. Captain Marvel is just a vast lake of diarrhea that contaminates everything it's in contact with.

mishimaro Possibly. I will say that what little I’ve read of Rebirth (Batman and Mister Miracle) have been very good.

That's a great way to put it.

That reasoning is too complex for the SJW mindset of outcome equality. Under equality of outcomes, Thanos is bad. Thanos living is bad. All outcomes deriving from Thanos living will be bad at some point. If Thanos is killed, that's good. Then all outcomes from that point moving forward will be good. You're throwing too many what if's around in an attempt to derail all the good outcomes everyone will have when Thanos dies. Bad human - Reee! lol.

Bendis should know by now that everybody hates him.

James Ooten I like him

I mean, he's literally down in my basement now so he can always come up whenever I need him.

Yay!

Theres evidence that he hasn't been a great writer (period) for the last several years.

Brian Michael Bendis is not a great writer, period.

Bendis only great event was Secret Invasion. He loses marks for Siege because of the lazy premise.

Michael Langfitt Wow that's a little much. Bendis is great when the stakes are smaller. That's why Ultimate Spider-Man was so popular.

To be honest, until Snyder I'd say a good event writer nowadays was an oxymoron.

Well, what do you expect? With everyone having a "controversy" every five seconds, and getting sued over the stupidest shit. It'd be no wonder many companies have gone the routes that they've taken things. Marvel just wants to make sure that it's "diverse" enough to keep people happy, even though the hard core fans that have been with them for years get alienated. Hell I'm still pissed off to beat all hell that they killed Bruce Banner off just to replace him with some no-name Asian guy that had no real background to the Hulk other then a couple of throw-away story lines in World War Hulk. Much like what they did with Iron Man just now by making him a teenage Fe-male. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good update to characters, or for them adding in characters that are more "diverse", but they need to do it right, don't just slap a pink tag on it, and expect people to just accept it. That's just bad, and very lazy story telling.

Logan Jericho Well, there is that. But it wasn't the reason this event sucked as hard as it does. It's part of it. But the reasons he lists are more major.

You would love Professor Thorgi then.

How is it "PC/SJW" when, as ComicTropes explains in a video, the book avoids actually talking about any social issues and only uses them as an excuse to have heroes fight each other? if anything, people had a theory Bendis is doing this book to sabotage Captain Marvel's push because he was banned from having Guardians save Earth from alien invasions to not make her look bad (which is not confirmed).

I think it's more that the civil war 2 book is linked to events preceding and succeeding it which definitely stray into those territories. It's not that there's PC themes there (comics have always leaned liberal for the most part) it's that there's such a heavy handed one-note method to hammering in the message the past few years that even many of us liberals are tired of it because it's impacting the quality of the characters and the story in service of the idealized themes. Things like characters lacking in flaws is very common, which goes against what Marvel has always been.

Logan Jericho yes! There's so much wrong with Marvel that have nothing to do with "PC" or whatever. The comics industry as a whole, mainly the big two, have always been incompetent

FelpHero the movie was awful. The comic was good but it needs a lot of context to make sense

@@paulakroy2635 Atleast CW is better than those two shite spiderman movies

The concept itself was good given the times. Execution however was oh lord something else even if we ignore the pingpong ball to follow all related issues.

Lightskin Superman woah, this guy doesn’t like the big fun marvel movie. Let us now before him, for he has an unpopular opinion and thus is obviously smarter than everyone

@@darkartsdabbler2407 cope

Ajmal Sohail I like to think of it as a choose your own adventure story. See, these are really the only possible options. Both are terrible. So choose wichever one you want. A reality where protagonists are actively disliked or a reality where incompetence runs the office at Marvel Comics.

Replace Caps as pro government? Cap is usually at odds with the government. Specially in the original Civil War. He is seldom pro government.

They were only preparing fans for the living embodiment of toxicity that Brie Larson is. Talk about casting to type.

He was dealing with problems within Parker Industries.

smashmaster521 oh yeah that did happen man that tie in was bullshit

@@TevyaSmolka The best tie-in for Civil War II, if you ask me, was Captain America: Steve Rogers, because of how great it was to see HYDRA!Cap play everyone like fools...and when the most likable character in Civil War II is a corrupted version of Steve Rogers, then that's a sign that Marvel fucked up.

i can understand why you thought that tie-in was the best within this civil war II garbage but like you said the most likable character is basically hydra/cap who was also trying and basically succeeding taking down the heroes like fly's which is even more messed up the more you think about it like that, also i agree Marvel did fucked up with that big time.

@@smashmaster521 I don't know how a 2-1/2 year old video popped up in my YT que, but I guess my comments have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight re: this. As far as Cap goes, he's a damaged goods character. No matter the amount of retconning, they ain't never gonna wash the Hydra & antifa stank off of him. Factor in that they cucked him by retconning America Fierra doing the Hitler punch-out way back when. Also factor in that Chris Evans was a closet SJW, but let it all cut loose on the fans during the publicity tour and during interviews once AV 3 & 4 were already shot. Add on that Mark Waid doxxed fans, went off on fans on Twitter/Instagram, verbally attacked & embarrassed fans at conventions, and had the ego to write himself into the comic as a future descendant of Cap who becomes a future version of Cap. In my personal view, Cap is washed up & finished as a character. They could pull Fabian Nicieza out of retirement as writer and have Jim Lee handling the pencils/ink and I'd never look twice at it. At this point, how many original Marvel birth-era characters does Marvel have left to throw under the bus for simple shock value? We're gonna p*ss away 30, 40, 50 years of character development for this shock reveal on a storyline I cooked up last night while buzzed at the bar. Yep! Run with it. Yeah, we'll double sales for 1 issue, then drop from 50K a month to 15K, but that's OK. He's an old character with not a lotta miles left. Marvel never learns. Marvel royally screwed Spider-Man fans back in the 90's with the Clone Saga. Prior to that, they were selling six S-M titles a month at 300K per book, per month. That didn't include S-M 2099. So, close to 1 mil S-M books per month in total. At those numbers, why throw a monkey wrench? Oh, but they couldn't resist the temptation. So, yeah - the Spider-Man/Peter Parker you've been reading and collecting for the last 22 years? Well, he's a fake, a clone. Here's the real Peter Parker, he's just been wandering the streets of NY waiting for the chance to take his life back. Long time fans felt betrayed and collectors thought there goes the value of all my old books. Well of course they backed off and fixed the mistake, but the damage was done. In the end they were left with 2 S-M titles, Amazing & Spectacular, selling at 75-100K per month. I read that issue while eating some lunch, went back to the comic store, and told the owner to cancel my pull list for all the Spider-books. I haven't even looked at a S-M book since. As a fan, you've not been burned until you've been Marvel burned. Not only will they burn you off a certain book or creative team, they'll burn you off a character for life. My burn list? Thor, Iron Man, Capt. America, the Avengers, War Machine, Spider-Man, and anything or anyone X-Men related. Wouldn't touch SJW Marvel with a 10 ft pole. So I have nothing left for Marvel except ill will. I've gotten immense enjoyment at the fact the Disney has been leasing Marvel characters out to IDW Comics. It seems that Marvel has no interest in making any comics aimed toward kids & young teens, but IDW will. See, there's Marvel running with scissors AND blinders on. How do you grow a customer base when you alienate your adult & young adult clients and don't even address a sizable demographic? If you get the kid in the store, you get at least one of the parents in there too. If they never develop a love for comics, they're not one day as an adult say, "I think I'll get into collecting comics as a hobby." Here's to IDW doing Marvel better than Marvel does. Their NY Headquarters' 25 year lease comes up for renewal in 2020. Right now they ain't selling enough comics to pay the bills. Disney ain't gonna prop them up for the next 25. I see 2 options: 1) Lose the NY base and pull Marvel into Disney Animation in CA. 2) Phase out Marvel Comics. Lease the characters out to established comics companies like IDW, while retaining the movie rights. Stress that if said companies don't perform better than Marvel, the character leases will be pulled. Bank on the fact that new blood and fresh perspectives will generate great stories that will turn into movie gold. If I were Quesada and CB Chugabrewski, I'd be quaking in my shoes 'bout now.

So, to simplify, what you're saying is that if the roles were reversed you can clearly see how Tony would confront the problem, adapt, & change. However, whatever side of this conflict Carol is on, she would be this blunt instrument incapable of evaluating her perspective and incapable of change. Yep - got it.

@@jamesooten3659 nice

Eh, that last part needs some work

Just say that Rhodey's death lead to a breakdown and she needs to deal with her grief and loss in a better way. She has a history of alcoholism, so this could almost have been a substitute for that addiction. Instead of drinking, she becomes a huge control freak. It's a way to push her to be a better hero.

Or maybe Tony punches her into a coma. She spent several years in one before. She should be used to it by now.

Neither Civil War 1 nor 2 is very good in my opinion.

I guess he hasn't gotten to the level of Bill Jemas, former Editor in Chief of Marvel (The bad kind of editor) and is responsible for Marville (A "comedy" (Seltzer and Friedburg quality) comic then turned pseudo-philosophical spiel) against Peter David's Captain Marvel (Shazam now) and Ron Zimmerman's Ultimate Adventures (from what I hear is a pastiche to Batman).

Spider man reveals his identity, something he wouldn’t do, and it bites him in the ass. Cause now bad guys that want him and his family dead know who he is.

Mario U if that's the case the buried themselves cause look at there sales

The thing is, its an idiotic way to replace the characters. There is a simple concept that lets you replace current heroes with new ones for a large number of them, its age. Tony moves to doing more command center esque work and iron heart takes over the day to day iron man stuff. That would work for any of the human' heroes. I've always been open to new characters replacing old ones. But doing it in this straight up idiotic way doesn't do the new heroes any favors.

All of Marvels problems could probably be solved if they brought back alternate universes.

Black Bolt, Royals, Secret Warriors, Ms. Marvel, Lockjaw, Karnak...

Grim Goblin And how many of them is still going?

And what it has to do with their quality?

Because all but one of them were good enough to stick around. If memory serves aren't the Inhumans being killed off and having their push taken away from them?

What does "good enough to stick around" means exactly?

RedDragonM1 ok liberal

RedDragonM1 maybe in preparation for the movie, I wonder? Either way that sucks, and I’m all for diversity in comics- they’ve often been at the forefront in that regard (at least in the past). Picking fights with readers just seems immature...

I think she's been written all over the place for most of her existence, and there are tons of concerns about that and the general fatigue some readers have with her. We can address all that AND acknowledge that there's also a hefty dose of general sexism when it comes to the character. Like damn, if she does swoop in and save the day, that's not really any more contrived than what they've been doing with Iron Man the last decade. Which is also bad storytelling and tiring, but people get way more visceral when a female character does the exact same thing.

Nocturne22 Iron Man started the MCEU 15 years ago. He's put in his work, as most other character have. She's had one movie, and it was a couple months ago. It's not the same, and it has nothing to do with what's between her legs. Guess what? Woman can be criticized without it having to do with their gender. Yup... mind blown right?

Sadly Brie Larson is the most toxic self-absorbed actress in Hollywood.

Thank you. Something like this takes me a bit longer than a review of a single issue so I do not have the time to do them weekly right now. But I do have plans to create more.

Best one was Hercules: Gods of War. That had little to do with this, amd completed his story.

ZoanBlade90 yeah I can understand that

most tie-ins are

Trembling Colors agreed

And it went onto the shelves at the same time the movie came out.

I used mine twice before someone told me about Comic Book Girl 19. Hadn't seen it. But I'm unlikely to use it again unless I have a really good idea for it, since she has a ton more viewers than me. My inspiration was a character Conan O'Brien had on his show in the 90s based on 1950s robots: PimpBot 5000.

:) Is that so. I thought he was a guest star from her show before I heard him talk. :) Just a thought, maybe it would be cool if the two robots meet in the future and do a review. :) Thanks for the very informative videos. I'm kind of new subscriber. I discovered you with the G.I.Joe comicbook reviews.
