Your Marvel-Only Controversial Opinions (2020...)

[ed2962]

No, it happened in New Avengers Vol. 1 #14, when Hydra performs surgery on Spider-Woman to give her back her powers you can see two breast implants on the surgery tray, she also says a couple pages later that "every part of me was better than it was before. Every part.". Bendis also bragged about in an old (and now deleted) tweet that caused a bit of a stir at the time:

I remember that. That's when Joe Q was actually trying to stir up the rivalry between Marvel and DC fans. Joe was calling DC "AOL Comics" and stuff like that. I have no doubt that Joe encouraged that statement by Bendis.

Jessica Jones was supposed to be Jessica Drew originally. I think Marvel was hesitant to include a Spider-character (even though she's never been associated to Spider-Man and hadn't been relevant for decades) in something as mature and as explicit as Alias so Bendis was forced to create an original character. Hence why he retconned her past existence in the MCU. This is why Jessica Jones was a P.I. (Jessica Drew was one during her solo series), why she had a friendship with Carol Danvers, and also why she was given the name Jessica in the first place, because all these attributes were meant to be part of his story for Jessica Drew.

He then went on to use all of the Avengers in the book. He treated Maddie Franklin quite shabbily as well. I am thankful that he wasn’t allowed to fully butcher Jessica Drew, though.

I have two:

1. Jason Aaron is a mediocre, sometimes bad, writer. My latest example: Why was Valkyrie #10 put on digital release only? If the book was doing that well, they would have published it.

2. Marvel doesn't care about comics shops. My reason is related to the above, they put several books on digital release only. This benefits Marvel because they still get some money for the artists work, the comics shop gets nothing out of it, except maybe to save on overhead of paying for a book that might not sell. This might be another sign that the format is dying and only exists to keep movie properties out there.

Oh, he was 100% a guy with a well-earned chip on his shoulder. His anger was not philosophical (only), it was about what both his racial and neighborhood brother and the racist system did to him. He was boiling with it.

Otherwise, he would have taken the Black Lightning route, adopted an alias and done good in well financed anonymity.

He could not go the traditional route like BL or most others. He was a wanted man for a while. He could not join the Avengers or any team that could expose him.

He is not boiling at all he is pretty easy going guy for the most part. He gets along with his neighbors like DW and is not angry unless he come across something to be angry about.

Aaron was good in the past, but he's one of those writers that eventually allowed his bad habits to get the best of him (happened to Bendis or Claremont, for example).

I have to disagree. Bendis and Claremont weren't consumed by their bad habits. People seek out their work because it's so distinctive. The problem with being distinctive is that when it falls out of style it falls hard. Claremont infuses his work with a purple prose energy. Bendis wants nothing more than to be David Mamet.

I agree with Anthony W's posts about Marvel's pettiness. It's not a good look for them especially when it's mostly one-sided.

Riri Williams didn't deserve the hate she got as a character. Her series by Eve Ewing is underrated.

Although i'm interested in seeing how it pans out I didn't think it was necessary for the Xmen to join the MCU, I liked seeing different characters get focus put on them.

Marvel's best TV series is Agents of Shield

It really is but AOS are never gonna get their flowers until it's too late.

I'll give him this that he brought Jessica back as an A-Lister (even if she's floundered a bit since then) but yeah, I'm glad he didn't get a chance to ruin her character completely. What I'm hearing about the breast implants sounds absolutely awful. Sounds like a Quesada thing considering how misogynistic he is.

Eh, there's a certain amount borderline skeeviness in Bendis's past work. The suggestion that "classic" Avengers were all sleeping with each other...the idea that before he married Jessica Jones, Luke Cage slept with all the single white women in the superhero community...Hawkeye sleeping with amnesiac Scarlet Witch.

I think Bendis’ need for credit and ignorance of black culture ultimately did Ironheart no favors. I would have defended her from all comers if she had been the already introduced mechanic prodigy niece of James Rhodes. “Riri” is right. The ten rings stuff saved it for me even if I don’t particularly like the character.

Peter Parker should adopt a new alias, leave the Spider stuff to Miles, and be allowed to outgrow the misunderstood hard luck hero thing for good. Let his new identity evolve him in-universe to a widely acclaimed and beloved hero on the order of Captain America.

[Toonstrack]

Sam Wilson shouldve remained Captain America, and as far as Im concerned they should bring him back under the mantle ASAP

[Blind Wedjat]

If Marvel is gonna keep throwing Atlantis and Wakanda under the bus to cheaply raise the stakes, then I'd rather have Namor and T'Challa no longer be king of their respective nations. Let someone else take the blame for a change.

Also, I'd like the two of them to somehow reconcile with each other.
