Thoughts on Nick Fury Jr?
Nick Fury Jr is an attempt to use the legacies of Classic Nick and Ultimate Nick and the character fails at both.
His name isn't really "Nick Jr" it's Marcus Johnson. That doesn't strike anyone as weird? Dude dropped a name he used his entire life to honor a father he never really knew?
He is young and has the ability to grow hair...but [B][I][U]chooses[/U][/I][/B] to be bald? Make no mistake being bald can be cool, [B][I][U]but it's usually done as a last resort[/U][/I][/B]. If you can still grow a full head of hair, you still grow a full head of hair. Ultimate Nick was bald because he was older and balding and just decided to let it go and go bald.
The eyepatch...sigh. Classic Nick has an eye patch because he is Nick Fury. Ultimate Nick has an eye patch because he is the Nick Fury of the Ultimate Universe.
Why give Marcus...sigh...[I]Nick Fury Jr[/I] an eyepatch?! Because the other Fury's have them? Give him an artificial eye, something unique to him.
