PREVIEW: Original Sin, #7

[Link]

Nick Fury and Woodrow McCord being the Guardian on the Wall is the Original Sin. It was the first time someone was put on the wall, and, it was a sin because there was a lot of wet works. That's why the Avengers are so sour on Nick for doing this. Dr Strange said the super heroes were already taking care of all the alien threats as they come up. But Nick Fury tells Stephen how naive he is, that Stephen can have this comfortable notion that he thinks he is taking care of all the threats because he isn't. The Avengers think The Guardian on the Wall is antiquated, and has been superseded and they are going to arrest Fury and put him away.

But something else happens in the end, and the Man on the Wall is reinstated anyway.

Also, have you noticed how everyone who took any of the Watchers devices are changing? That's another thing that makes me think Nick Fury aged so quickly too, because Nick took a device too. It must be a security device Uatu placed on every device, that anybody who touches them, ages rapidly, like evolution in 5 minutes. That's what happened to Reed Richards one time he picked up the least lethal of Uatus devices. He evolved into a long eared Alien, until he put the device down and then he returned to normal. Maybe Nick is carrying a device of Uatus too?

Thats actually a really interesting observation

[yeah yeah]

I thought the man on the wall was supposed to be a crack shot. That preview looks like the age is getting to him. They're floating right in front of him, and he missed them all.

he isn't trying to kill them. they might fundamentally be less important than the man on the wall; but they have their uses for when something slips through the net; and he likes most of them

its the same reason in DC Spyral hasn't shut down the heroes (yet); their worthless in the long run; but they do some good and they (usually) make it easier to do their jobs by trapping anyone who might be a threat one day in the twisted game of dress-up and cops and robbers

Considering how many invasions Nick Fury DIDN'T stop, he'd have some nerve calling anybody ineffective.

Any threat that Nick Fury could have stopped single handed with just a jet pack and a zap gun wasn't much of a threat in the first place.

Yeah I agre...this whole Nick Fury man on the wall thing is a little weird. I mean...there were sooooo many threats earth faced and other heroes face day to day and Nick is supposedly the greatest of all? Neutralizing threats that others wouldn't be able to overcome BEFORE they're threats? So fury could take out guys with a gun and gamma bullets that Strange can't? Or the Hulk? Or the Avengers/X-men? Weird.

To be fair, his missions could've ranged from blowing up a death star to intercepting recon. Either way, it's entirely possible he could've prevented something huge in its early stages with massive potential for destruction, whether the heroes could've defeated them or not. We'll probably never know. This was kind of just crammed into his history with what seems like little thought.

This is Marvel's attempt to try and get comic fans, to accept these types of deception and surveillance by a comic character, so we'll give carte blanche to such illegal activities in the real world, under the guise of protection from terrorism.

Which is strange, considering the last Captain America movie leaned heavily on the side of privacy rights.

You know what Marvel needs to stop doing, they need to stop revisiting characters pasts and changing them as often as they have been doing. I want to read about a characters progressive life, not revisit their past just to change the presents status quo.

Are they warning shots? They made a specific point of how accurate and precise the shooting was in the earlier issues. They should have made a bigger deal in the story of how big the threats were that he dealt with. None of the things that he did appeared to be big time. At this point, he should have been battling cosmic beings and fighting off Galactus.
