I honestly think Janet is fine where she is at on Agents of Wakanda. Likely, with her appearing to be assisting Okoye as second in command to her, would likely lead to more development. And honestly a core team of 8 with rotating members (similar to how JA had the Avengers roster set up) no one person is going to overshadow another. This is just a fun team that can tell globetrotting adventures
No.
You're isolating one specific incident - a savage operating in a stealth mission under the ocean - as being somehow unbelievable in a comic that has something outrageous on every single page.
There's nothing about Ka-Zar's abilities in this issue that requires any more of a suspension of disbelief than believing that a team of superpowered people are operating out of the hollowed-out body of a dead Celestial. A team of superpowered people, by the way, that now involves a talking gorilla, a Living Vampire, and a werewolf as part of their B squad or ground team. And whose leader is being privately counseled by an ancient Norse God.
Ka-Zar has lived his entire life - and thrived - in one of the most hostile environments on the planet. He can survive a dip in the ocean just fine. If anything, Ka-Zar's reconnaissance mission is one of the least crazy aspects of this issue.
You seem to think that having Ka-Zar get in and out of Atlantis so easy is insulting to Atlanteans. But it isn't. Because Atlanteans aren't real. There's no one to insult. You don't need to be offended on their behalf. Aaron's just giving Ka-Zar a cool moment to show that even though he's just a guy in a loin cloth, he shouldn't be underestimated.
The problem with those other examples is that their other worldliness has been long established. Thor, for instance, has been a God with superhuman abilities for decades now.
There are different extents to which suspension of disbelief can be applied. Ka-zar is a baseline human, who lacks the ability to breathe underwater. And though he is a bad ass, his survival in the Savage Land is like a mouse surviving in a human's house. With enough cunning, it can be done, but we know who'd win in a fight
Hell, Ka-zar's survival in the Savage Land isn't that unique, frankly. There are entire tribes of humans in the Savage Land who do the same thing he does, every day. And Ka-zar w created before we knew that raptors were bad asses
And can we please tall about how Man Wolf didn't even need a breathing mask in space? Has he been able to not die in space before?
Also, I'm trying to figure out just how the plan to use Morbius works: why is anyone deciding that this is a good plan now? And how is this not going to just make it harder for normal vampires to find food? In Domino, Morbius even says that he worries about how he'll find blood if this plan succeeds.
And honestly? I just have a feeling that Dracula isn't even the real problem here. I think it's the Shadow Colonel and that's why Draculais trying to bolster his own vampires.
Jameson isn't a traditional werewolf. His wolf form is the physical manifestation of a deity from another universe, the Stargod. While he might have never been shown to be running around in space without gear before, I think given the nature of his powers it's not too much of a stretch.
I'm sorry you haven't heard of those phrases. But you are online. Google them. They are pertinent to my point.
So what? I am allowed to talk about one incident, or a portion of a book. Just because I don't discuss every page, it doesn't invalidate the part I'm talking about. FYI, there was plenty of the comic I found unbelievable and eye rolling, but I get to choose what I spend my time on.
??? I thought you hadn't heard of the phrase "suspension of disbelief?" Regardless, I disagree and that's a false equivalency. Just because I don't talk about the whole book, it doesn't invalidate the portion I am talking about. Besides, the talking gorilla, the living vampire the werewolf and living in dead Celestials have all been established many times over decades. They fit this particular comic universe's established history and internal logic. The fact that we (fans and writers and editors alike) have designations such as 'peak human' and super human tells us that there are limitations on the characters, which help set up the boundaries for suspension of disbelief. Ka-Zar is NOT super-human. If he starts doing super-human stuff, then it breaks my suspension of disbelief.
I'm sorry, when it comes to hostile environments: Bottom of the ocean >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jungle. Plenty of normal human beings live in a jungle, yes, even in the Savage Land. While NO normal human beings live at the bottom of the ocean. We aren't talking about a "dip in the ocean." I never said Ka-zar can't swim or take a bath. If you don't understand what makes the ocean THE most hostile environment on the planet, then do some reading / googling. There's an ongoing debate on whether the ocean depths or space is more hostile. And again, what happens in the rest of the issue, believable or not, has no bearing on the one event that I chose to talk about.
This is the second time you've talked about me personally. Please refrain from doing so again. I have no idea why you think can dictate what I should feel and how I should post, but you have no rights over me, and no authority here.
Well, at least we can agree that Aaron is giving Ka-Zar a "cool" moment at the expense of characters that I care for. And that is my main complaint. Writers shouldn't job out other characters to make their favorites look better. As for whether or not I should be enthusiastic about unreal characters our not, that's none of your business, and not your call. You do your fannish thing your way, and I'll do my fannish thing my way.
Exactly. Thank you.

It just seems sort of knit-picky to harp on the Ka-Zar thing when there's so much here to like. I mean, I'm sorry, but we have Broo! Broo is awesome!

I wonder if the Ka-Zar thing will get a hasty patch like She-Hulk did.
But don't most writers do this? Bendis definitely did, Claremont did, and we all know Moon Knight has only survived based on author goodwill.
Like I said, these are characters that many writers have loved for a very long time. There's nothing wrong with them wanting to be used, especially when it comes to more obscure characters like Broo and Morbius.
I know Morbius has a movie coming out, but I think no one has much faith in it because...well, seriously, it's a Morbius movie. Some producer must really like Morbius for that one to work.
'Bendis did it' isn't a defense, it's an attack
I want good, logical story telling. Not writers piddling around with their pet faves and doing nothing. Hell, that was Bendis' entire damn run.
I like fanfiction. I read fanfiction. But professional comics ought to be held to professional standards
When Jen first showed up in the Avengers run, she looked like this:
Problem was, Jen already solved most of her post-Secret Empire problems in the last couple of issue in her own book or at least enough that it didn't justify this trying to keep control or hulking out a dumb hulk, with her terrified of transforming. So after the whole Celestial thing we got this:
For the record, there are still many flaws to this; despite the proclamation that she's keeping under control, she's still being tutored by Black Panther in controlling herself under stress when she has never needed that sort of thing from anyone, so I presume Aaron is trying to do his original plan for her while trying to juggle it with her immediate past.
