And being a terrible person doesn't make him a bad character. Cyclops is one of Marvel's most underrated triumphs in character development.
Dick Grayson should've stayed Batman. Bruce is boring
616 Spider-Man is great, but Ultimate Peter is better
Cyclops is underrated

Well, she believes this:
Which is fine but she sometimes goes too far or makes them too quirky.
I hate how she wrote James Gordon Jr. during her Batgirl New 52 run. She just doesn't get the character at all.
The current X-editor Jordan White agrees with you.
It's so obvious, yet I never would've thought of such an apt comparison.
Barry Allen and Hal Jordan should have stayed dead.
Cyborg has potential that DC won't allow to flourish. DC also seems to not care about black heroes in general.
Although he bungles the execution sometimes, Bendis is a good foundation man and decent writer.
(It's a really bad soap opera storyline. And people get so angry about it. I just laugh.)
It was also doing Doctor Who better than the show was at the time.
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.
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

I don't know how controversial this is, but:
Comics would be more interesting if characters were allowed to get older and go away.

Me reading this thread:
Rob Liefeld is one of the most important figures in the history of comics and deserves more respect even if he's not a great artist.
It's very hard to be emotionally involved in arcs because how nothing is permanent and there are so many versions of characters, so I can only enjoy comics in a "hey, in a vacuum this is nice" sort of way.
Agreed. I'm not huge into X-Men besides a few creator runs here and there and the animated series but I've never been a fan of Jean and once I finally got around to the Dark Phoenix Saga I just didn't find it that interesting.
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.
The spidey clone saga was stupid fun.
Bruce should have been retired for good after knightfall.
Bruce should have been retired for good after knightfall.
Superior Spiderman was a good story but I didn't care for Otto as a protagonist.
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.
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.
Yeah, do something like Batman Beyond did. That showed how well it can work.
so much truth in this
Love Emma and the new X-Men and it sucks so many of those characters barely get used.
I like the fresh take on Peter, not sure Ultimate is "superior", but otherwise we just became best friends.
Wait, this isnt drunk thread.
Here'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.
Ironman was Right during both Civil war events
Cyclops and Emma Frost >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>Cyclops and Jean Grey

Wolverine is kind of boring and people mostly like him because of how stereotypically edgy and badass he looks.
Tom King's Batman run is bad.
Mark Millar is a bad writer.
The Wild Storm is the only DC comic that's worth a shit right now.

I agree with TDK for sure. Watchmen is fine. Outside of the ending it kept it close to the source material, hell or high water, I respect that.
Nah it's awful. It could have been any character in Marvel who could have undone their marriage. Why him?
Pretty general opinion. I agree.
As Batman, yes. I liked Bat-Grayson.
Facts.
I agree with Phoenix saga having too much impact on Jean grey and by extension the x-men. Tired of it being a plot device for when they can't think of a better plot device to power someone up. Been used by how many people now?
Disagree on the deathstroke thing. Green Lantern should have taken him out. Flash should have felt the sword and moved instantly. Bad writing. Your opinion is trash here.

1. Dan Slott's run wasn't all that bad. First few arcs were good.
2. All Marvel events in the past 10 years are snore fests.
3. Batman is in too many books and it's hard to follow.
4. Superman is in too many books and it's hard to follow.
5. Morrison's Green Lantern is godlike.
6. Final Crisis makes no sense.
7. In the right hands Venom is pretty good. See Donny Cates.
8. Toqger is trash.
9. All Kamen Riders after Gaim are garbage. Faiz is still the best one, then Black.....don't @ me.

Have you read Greg Rucka Wonder Woman? I'm not a Wonder Woman fan but when he writes her it's great
The X-Men being written as equivalent to real world minority groups is stupid as hell and does a disservice to both the real people who struggled and fought for their rights, and the interesting moral issue of how do you handle the next stage of human evolution. Having the ability to mind control people, or having bone claws, or be able to fire lasers from your eyes at will is not at all the fucking same as being black or gay or whatever.
The only time I ever cared about the Greek Gods in a WW story is during the Azzarelo run, and that was mainly for the Chiang designs. Otherwise they're boring and writers should give Diana's mortal foes more love (with the exception of Circe and Cheetah who are awesome).

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.
Linda Danvers is a way better Supergirl than "crybaby" Kara Zor-El
DC purposely shitted on John Stewart for years and he hasn't recovered since
Barry Allen and Hal Jordan need to remain dead and disgraced
The Justice League International run is the best JL run ever
Comics have better female characters than Manga and are overall just treated better
Storm has outgrown the X-men and needs to be on another team
Constantine was the worst addition to the magic side of DC

Peter David is a lame writer.
If you think "Marvel or DC?" is a valid question, you're what's wrong with comics.
Shared universes was a cute gimmick that's outlived its novelty and smothers mainstream comics.
There isn't a single superhero movie that's a truly great film. The best comic book adaptation (and a great film) is Persepolis.

I love narration and do not mind blocks of text everywhere. The only problem I have with narration when dialogue becomes narration
I don't like how K Vaughan writes, the only series of his I enjoyed was runaways. Y the last man never really worked for me and I don't like Saga
Watchmen is vastly overrated and much of Moore's work is better
Lastly, comics>manga

Martian Manhunter is consistently the worst and most boring part of Justice League.
The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants besides Magneto are pitiful jobbers that should never be considered actual threats.
Norman Osborn is a horrible arch-nemesis for Spider-Man. Doc Ock is the "superior" choice.
