If that isn't a classic example of what pretentious writing is...
That's so bad. And just proves how very disconnected Coates is from the concept of Wakanda and being Wakandan. (If he was ever connected ,at all).

[QUOTE=jwatson;5389509]OMG this would be the best thing ever if someone in one of the panels were was like "who?!" Cause that's how I felt. Like we fighting for whom. Lol
This just looks like trash sorry. Even the speech. like most the heros in the panels ain't even from wakanda. Thank black history month it's almost over[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm pumped. seeing all marvels black heroes working together to save wakanda is amazing and our girl storm is about to show out!!! can't wait for these next few issues!
[QUOTE=jwatson;5389512]That's what I thought too but it could very well still be Xavier then jean took over bit for mental purposes I'm just sticking with jean did it. Shows how much of a jumbled mess this event has been.[/QUOTE]
no it defintely wasn't jean. like I said issue 3 established it was Xavier who connected all the heroes. Reed asked Xavier if the heroes somehow lost connection would Xavier step in and he obliged. saying otherwise would be to purposefully ignore that statement and issue 3 which lead to issue 4. did you read issue 3 by the way? Jean is not mentioned once there lol.
that said I the event definitely fell flat for me. was hoping when storm finally got out we would see her cut loose but yea, no that didn't happen lol.
[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5389289]yes Xavier was keeping all the heroes connected as per issue 3. he was assisting Dylan to use knull to free the heroes. upon freeing them, the heroes were working together to attack knull and his army. when it was finally thor and storm's turn we got this:

complete let down on what could have been epic.[/QUOTE]
That is rather under-whelming. Storm could have pulled off this feat by herself.
To be fair, they are essentially destroying almost all the symbiotes that had taken over NYC in one strike(after Namor's wave collected them). The page doesn't do it justice. This whole KIB story has been messy, but I'll give Cates a tinsy bit of respect for the audacity of it all. It's wild he pulled off a company wide story about symbiotes. Meanwhile Coates's space opera he's been telling for years still isn't finished, and he's been teasing [I]one[/I] single symbiote villian(Killmonger) as his big finale....

yea it was very underwhelming. I love the idea of the both using their lightning to break through the symbiote barrier that had encased the earth. that would have been epic.

I'm wondering how the orisha play into this. I saw a scan where they are collectively doing something their powers a while back. and baby guess what? I got my lipstick and ready. I will see you girls in the ladies room...

Ummm they are trying to kill a celestial level God. No time for half measures. If thor is present it makes perfect sense for him to be doing his thing too.

I think the point is not to say thor isn't needed (which for what was shown i don't think so) but for an attack where both storm and thor did one would expect it to look more impressive than that.

yes girlie. Coates is about to shut it down as he has been since the hadari yao stepped onto the scene!

I agree 100% and its nice seeing Storm work together with Thor and Namor. Still though, this particular feat just doesn't impress me much.

I see. As an aspiring artist what would make this sorta thing more visually interesting? It was all going into one point at the epicenter... maybe a wider shot? More bolts?
I gotta say this hyped me up pretty good when I read it, but there's always room for improvement. When I look at the splash I see two gods about to being righteous thunder down on em
The lightning coming out of both their eyes is a nice touch

well I'm not sure if more lightning is what is required. I think what would have been more impressive was like a chain lightning that extended the entire planet that destroyed the symbiote barrier around the planet with it funneling down to water like the panel from the issue showed. truthfully speaking that bolt as it was drawn could have been done by either storm or thor on their own.
