The Complex

[natevegas]

So, how long before Quicksilver is killed in the comics?

Gambit will be next on the hit list.

OMG, this one is the best! Even in the description of the "Expansive 2015 plans" that is on the other page, there isn't a single mention of the X-Men or the FF. lol

Yeah read that part about Spidey toys among others reached 1 billion in retail sales. There goes the movies are the only money maker argument.

[Venomous Mask]

Gambit will be next on the hit list.

His future looks grim, but Quicksilver's MCU death makes his existence in the comics on very shaky ground.

This thread is facepalm worthy.

I will leave as i please.

Are you talking about us or about Marvel ?.

And until about two years ago, only about a handful of people knew who GOTG were.

And most of those people were familiar with the old rooster anyways.

Well, Deadpool already kicked the bucket, so..................................

I thought Scarlet Witch put a curse out to effect on her family line and Quicksilver fell but Magneto didn't retcon happen? I thought her spell killed him but who knows I can't keep track.

The more I think about it, the more Deadpool's death is possibly the most perfect example of the Complex. He was well on his way to becoming a top-tier Marvel character, then out of the blue, he's killed. It made no logical sense.

You may be right. I know that neither are considered the children of Magneto anymore.

It definitely did not kill him, just "struck him down."

You guys. Duh.

[Snyderman]

That's fine. I just didn't want you to hurt your head with all your facepalming. We need insightful posters like yourself.

Damn right y'all do.

Eh, I don't buy that he's gone for good. That's what Joss wants, sure, but the Russos are in charge now & they're pros at reviving people (Fun Fact: Joss was against reviving Bucky for Winter Soldier). If I recall, the guy has 2 more movies on his contract (which could have been a "just in case" thing more than anything else). Plus you have an OP twin sister with the potential to bend reality & a Time Stone just waiting to be used.

Marvel Comics: Where nobody dies for good except Uncle Ben.

As for the comics, both of the Twins are getting a push in Uncanny Avengers, so there's that.

[autbey]

Damn right y'all do.

You're adorable. Ignorant as hell, but adorable.

Which is one of the reasons why her whole "my spell didn't affect you, you're not the daddy" thing is suspect. She meant to kill them both. Her spell didn't work on Pietro, and it obviously didn't work on Magneto; does that mean Pietro isn't really her brother, either? Why oh why couldn't Marvel have just said, Wanda hexed away her relationship to Magneto from that point on, because her powers are still wonky and she's still insane? I still don't understand why they had to create a completely ludicrous High Evolutionary story to cover the retcon. My theory is that a certain editor vp of publishing wanted the extreme version of a retcon; Marvel higher ups could've been satisfied with a cosmetic fix.

Well, maybe Quicksilver is only her half-brother, and that's why he was knocked out instead of being killed.

i do not expect him to say anything that will put his career in jeaopardy.

Indeed. I guess it's unrealistic to expect that the real-life people who edit and write about super heroes might be a little more heroic themselves.

I mean hypothetically speaking, if an editor has sat in the same chair in the same job for 25 years, and never worked at another company, never edited anything but the same comic books, wouldn't such a hypothetical editor be terrified of change, of losing his job even to be promoted to another Marvel position? So logically, wouldn't such an editor pander as if his life depended on it?

I don't understand why Brevoort keeps fielding those questions. It does more damage to his reputation than help.
