- Despite loving Secret Six, I hated how Gail Simone wrote Knockout and Bane.
One of the few things Morrison did that I like was dealing with mutants as a minority group in a variety of places and ways. House of M pretty much undid that. I wasn't interested in a world with just 200 mutants.
AiPT!: Speaking of alternate realities… if you could go back to any X-Event and change one thing as an editor, what would it be and why?
Jordan: Oh man, you are going to get me in trouble. OK… I am going to go for broke and give you the real answer.
I would not have done "Decimation." Maybe "Decimation" itself isn't an event, but then I would not have done "No more mutants" at the end of House of M. I understand the criticism that people were creating mutants too freely, that it was too easy to just create a character and when coming up with a backstory just say "they are a mutant" … but I think you solve that problem internally by telling the writers to stop doing that. Actually wiping out the large bulk of mutantkind was something I didn't think was the ideal choice and led to a lot of things I was not keen on in its aftermath.
To me, having mutantkind reduced to 198 people means they are not a minority anymore, they are a statistical zero. Hating and fearing mutants goes from being small-minded to nonsensical–you will never meet one, there are less than 200 in the world. It would be like hating left-handed people from Europe with the middle name Stefan–there are probably a few out there, but wasting your time thinking about them is silly.
I've said it before, I will say it again.
Geoff Johns is the Zack Snyder of comics.
It's so squicky
Slott's Silver Surfer is one of the top ten Marvel stories of all time. Don't @ me.
...
X-men is my favorite marvel franchise only under Spider-Man, that being said i dont give a FUCK about the dark phoenix saga. I dont care that the last stand or the current film ruined the story because I never cared for the original story.
I have never liked Jean Grey and i saw Emma replacing her as one of the the best things to happen in the early to mid 2000s X books.
What about Otto as the Superior Octopus?
What about Otto as the Superior Octopus?
As for me not only do I think Superior Spider-Man is one of the best modern day runs of spidey comics, I also think through Ock's view, decisions and failures is a top 5 all time story of why Peter is the ultimate Spider -Man and what makes him so awesome despite (and because) of his absence for the majority of the run.
That's fine, I am also biased by the fact that not only is Doc Ock my all time favorite Spider Villain but I am also a sucker for bad guy becomes good and ends up being even more of a fuck up then they were as a villain.Superior Spiderman was a good story but I didn't care for Otto as a protagonist.
Yeah, do something like Batman Beyond did. That showed how well it can work.After reading the replies maybe it's not as controversial as I thought, but Bruce Wayne needs to go. He should be a supporting character who lives in the bat cave while someone like Dick or Damian wears the cowl.
so much truth in thisX-men is my favorite marvel franchise only under Spider-Man, that being said i dont give a FUCK about the dark phoenix saga. I dont care that the last stand or the current film ruined the story because I never cared for the original story.

I think apocalypse himself is a boring villain.
I absolutely love the Nunzio Defilippis to craig kyle/chris yost run of New X-Men and found it better than the grant morrison New X-Men which is vastly more popular
Dick Grayson should've stayed Batman. Bruce is boring
616 Spider-Man is great, but Ultimate Peter is better
Cyclops is underrated
Damn right. It's not even a contest.Cyclops and Emma Frost >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cyclops and Jean Grey
She-Hulk was a better fourth-wall breaking character than Deadpool has ever been.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures by Archie Comics became more interesting than the original Mirage series ever was.
Watchman and TDKR weren't that good in the first place and aged like potato salad in the sun
Superman is a fun character that works well when the writer isn't star struck.
Bruce Wayne is boring as shit and they should have let Dick keep the cowl.
Vampire Mom Jubliee was the best development the character recieved since Gen-X and every time she goes back to the core team she gets regressed
The Phoenix Saga is the worst thing that ever happened to the X-Men franchise.
It's not even that bad. It's just...Kinda bad.
But the weird reverence for it has frozen the franchise in time.
Let's just move past all that dumb shit already please.
Deathstroke beating the Justice League in Identity Crisis was quite fun.
Have you read Greg Rucka Wonder Woman? I'm not a Wonder Woman fan but when he writes her it's greatHere's a big one: I hate Wonder Woman. I get that she's the only icon option in some cases, get why the gay community loves her, all that. But eagle bustier, star panties, invisible jet but eff that she can fly, I wish someone could make her cool.
Well Oda is the only one who is writing his own work. Too many writers purposely low ball or exaggerate characters in comics. There will never be an agreement in power levels.Superpowers are handled like complete shit and people are okay with it.
Oda did more with his version of superpowers than the entire Marvel Comics managed to do with a zillion of characters in fifty fucking years.
The fantastic element is handled like complete shit throughout 99% of usa-made comics.
Characters are oftentimes good, though.
now this is a scorching take
