I am very sorry to write that I agree with virtually everything that Songbird/Diamondback wrote. I WANT to like the above mentioned marvel characters but what these characters have done in past stories matters to me in order to continue liking them in the present. It is not possible for me to do so because to me Brian Bendis has succeeded in making me dislike them to this day, ever since he wrote all 3 of them in past stories.
I am envious of everyone else who like the above mentioned marvel characters.
She was horrible before, she was horrible during, she became even worse in the sequel. She is unbearable. Honestly, I'm kinda creeped out by how much it would please me to see her die.Now was this before or after she temporary became Cammi/Hawk...(Cammi wielding the DH Amulet that she's taken from Chase during the endgame within the AVENGERS ARENA Series)..?!?
You know which two heroines are lame? Songbird, and Diamondback.
....just kidding. But when your screen name is taken after two heroines and then you start picking on popular heroes, you're just asking for it...
Oh believe me, EVERYONE picks on my favorites. Not just you, but Hazmat and Cassie Lang were already listed in this thread. I think this thread was made to start flame wars, but hey, I can fight fire with fire. I at least give a definitive reason why I dislike certain characters.
this thread has a high potential to turn misogynist. Just saying. In any case, I was somewhat disappointed in the choice to make new Ms. Marvel a shape-shifter, which I feel is an over-used power. Body stretching is one thing, I guess (Ms. Fantastic?) But if she eventually starts turning into a bear or whatever... (sheesh)..
I'm also underwhelmed at X-23. Aside from the intentionally uncreative codename, I'm just not a fan in general of the Weapon X project being this unending source of metas.
Ms. Marvel (Ventura) seemed to be put through some bizarre plot-twists, and at this point, I'm not sure what her status quo is.
Also, I'm rather offended at Gorilla Girl on principle. I don't care.
You actually have a good point with the Shape shifting, but it's not used much by the heroes besides Hulkling.
There are parts I love about X-23 and parts I hate. I love that X-23 is always fighting an uphill battle, and I think that's cool concept for her character cause it makes her sympathetic. What I hate about X-23 is that she is the kiss of death on any Teen hero team she joins. She joins the New X-Men? Almost all of them are dead or in limbo, while everyone gushes over how skilled and swift X-23 is. It actually came across as rhetoric that the creators of X-23 would say how awesome X-23 is at the same time say how much fun is it to kill the other X-Kids. And then Liu goes on about how she doesn't care about the other X-Kids when she writes X-23 off with Gambit and so on.
That's actually what I really hate. When writers have clear biases and screw over other characters so their favorites get the big push. I do like X-23, but I just think she was a wrecking ball to the New X-Men.
I hope I didn't offend X-23 fans.
New rule: In addition to nominating a character, it's probably a good idea to also indicate which writers are responsible for your appreciation (or lack thereof) of said character. Let's face it, there are no bad characters, just bad writers (and creators).
Pod... I joke I joke. In all honesty; not loving the idea of this thread. ALL characters are only lame because a writer did a poor job. Look at Screaming Mimi! Who wouldn't think she was a joke? A punk wrestler quasi-prostitute with daddy issues. But under Busiek (then Fabian, then so many writers since) she blossomed into one of the best characters EVER!!! A leader as good as Captain America, a hero as complex as Storm, with powers more awesome than the Invisible Woman. And anyone who doesn't like her can....
There are no bad characters, only bad writers.
P.S. that said, Cassie Lang is AWFUL
Some characters just don't work, regardless of a good writer or not. Scarlet Witch for example, no matter who writes her, she's still boring.
the only times I had any interest in Scarlet Witch was when she went mental and disassembled the Avengers and when she went mental and almost wiped out the mutants.
