Avengers #8 Review/SPOILERS

[Hypestyle]

how many stories high is the celestial/mountain?

how difficult will it be to retrofit everything?

Is there a Danger Room?

What kind of vehicles can access the facility?

Will there constantly be a threat of "anti-virus" internal Celestial mechanisms going after the residents?

[Hypestyle]

I myself don't think it was intended seriously from tony

For me, that makes little difference, I find the joke in poor taste in and of itself

double in poor taste since Carol was involved with Rhodey, and Tony knows this.

[Dreaded Porcupine]

So Jennifer produces more gamma than Banner? Too bad she and the whole team are going to get beat up in Immortal Hulk (judging from the picture Thor and Cap running away)

Yeah they are. Jennifer is going to get hammered. Bruce is going to disprove this myth. Looking forward to it. Thor got smacked around by the Juggernaut without mjolnir so I don't expect the classic Hulk vs Thor fight that has happened in the past. Should be a great fight.

[JKtheMac]

It's awful man. Thor running away from a fight like this. Obviously, current Marvel writers don't care about his portrayal and prefer him as a joke character like in on Ragnarok.

Ignoring that Thor in Ragnarok was also competent.

Really? It is blindingly obvious that is not happening. Do you enjoy upsetting yourself by finding convuluted excuses to dislike stories?

[JKtheMac]

I don't recall the last tine thor had a real good win

Then you must have not been reading Avengers or Thor for months.

Jen may not fight Bruce at all, if Al Ewing's tweet is to go by:

Replying to @Mbtoon05
Bruce and Jen get to talk, and Hulk and She-Hulk get to talk. That's all I'll say for now.

Thanks to comicfan298 who first posted this at Jen's appreciation thread.

Honestly, there's so much effort to claim that Thor's being written like Hercules and the "proof" of him running away is him rescuing his friend rather than charging blindly into battle.

Oh the celestials thing

I'd thought about that but in all honesty I don't see that as his win, sure he was involved, but he didn't beat the celestials ( I woukd not economic too)

robbie was far more involved and thor himself said his power up was running out before the big win

the uni mind trick wasn't his win either, that was a team thing I was talking about thor alone, but even if I included this it wasn't his win was it

as for thor book, no I don't read that because I think it terrible drawn and written, if Aarons started to change how he writes thor no review has convinced me to pay any for there to give Aaron's Thor a try especially with the art the way it is imo, all I've heard is he again didn't beat the juggernaut?

as an aside your post came across as a little condescending, which I really don't appreciate, I'm sure I read it wrong

Jennifer is going to get hammered.

Considering Aaron is building up a romance with her and Thor, you could say that...

To be fair, it did seem that Thor did beat the Juggernaut but off panel.

You know that's how team books work right? The team, including your favourite character take down the bad guys. If you don't count that as a win for your character you may as well stop counting.

[JKtheMac]

It is somewhat droll how people cling to these things.

Stop the press! If we look closely enough, character X is somewhat similar to character Y!

Hmm is it because X was invented specifically to be a foil for Y and as such is almost identical to them but with a few twists? Is it because there has been a long history of swapping out characters in team books with characters that have similar archetypal roles? Nah - it must be the writer doesn't know how to write them.

It is even more tangential in a book that is actually going to explore archetypes and their team roles, and has clearly begun that process. Every press release and review has mentioned this but again: Is the writer writing the characters in specific ways to appear similar to a baseline archetype for thematic purposes? Nah - he must just not know how to write.

If I squint I can understand that people like characters to be consistent, but honestly where are we supposed to draw that line? It isn't possible to please everyone with his kind of thinking. Except maybe always telling the same story over and over forever more.

Exactly. I know we all have different opinions and I understand that it was meant to be funny but it's actually in seriously poor taste to me.

the fact that they even fought them is BS IMO.

[kilderkin]

Maybe, it didn't read that way to me but I can accept it as possible

but if it was that was a trick missed imo

that kind of win would be nice to see
