    Default Unpopular/Controversial Opinions

    Hello, there! I hope I'm not 'stakes claiming', but I had seen a thread in the Spider-Man subforum of this topic and thought that said discussion could expand into the larger Marvel multiverse. In any case, are there any opinions or thoughts you hold that others or the majority of people do not?

    If I'm allowed to, I would like to start by saying I am rather fond Sam Alexander (and subsequently, his titular Nova series), I think Dan Slott's run on Spider-Man is wonderful, Civil War was a good event (and a decent self-contained miniseries), the Utimate Spider-Man cartoon is fun but not great, I would like to see either ROM and Starshine or the Spaceknights to return, I prefer Doctor Doom as a benevolent dictator (like in Doom 2099) than an evil supervillain and I was disappointed by the lack of inclusion of Spoderman in Spider-Verse.

    What are your opinions?

    Yeah, Civil War was a triumph - all the tie-ins.
    Gwen Stacy should never have had babies to Norman Osborn.
    Gwen Stacy was a manipulating girlfriend to Peter Parker
    Marvel was vanilla by 2004 and needed to change.
    Bill Jemas was a genius

    I have others.

    Events suck
    A lot of writers have gotten lazy
    Gwen Stacy should never have been killed
    Hank and Jan should be together
    Mary Jane was not a good match for Peter Parker
    Spider status quo should go back to the Daily Bugle
    Most characters shouldn't have kids (FF being the exception)
    Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!

    I think we have a thread like this on this board already but i'll bite

    If the characters aren't aging they shouldn't get married and/or have kids
    We need better comics

    Rogue belongs in the X-men.

    Cyclops is always right.

    The Marvel universe hasn't been interesting since around 2002.

    I don't think that opinion is in any way unpopular or controversial. I'd say the the opposite opinion is almost if not entirely nonexistent.

    You could be right. That wasn't the impression I got when this came, but certainly this view conflicted with Marvels view, but I take your point.

    UNPOPULAR/CONTROVERSIAL OPINION...?

    The new Fantastic Four movie is going to be really good.

    I've got a couple:
    Deadpool isn't really that funny.
    I've enjoyed most Marvel events that I've read. (Except Fear Itself).
    Wolverine shouldn't be on The Avengers.
    The current Avengers (Marvel NOW) are way to powerful.
    Nick Fury Sr should be able to co-exist with Nick Fury Jr.
    Hyperion is awesome.
    Captain Marvel needs more publicity.
    Sam Wilson (as Captain America), shouldn't use the shield.
    Cyclops isn't evil, but misunderstood.
    Norman Osborn is a better Avengers villain, than a Spider-man villain.
    Currently Reading in Single Issues/Trades:
    Marvel:Hulk (NOW), Ant-Man (NOW), Avengers: Time Runs Out,
    DC:Earth 2, Superman: Earth One, The Flash,

    I did love Norman Osborn as an Avengers villain. It was just when I was getting into comics, and it was grand.

    I agree here. My unpopular opinions:

    1. Bendis's Avengers run was actually pretty good issue by issue.
    2. Civil War was a pretty good event.
    3. A lot of "classic" Marvel runs are not aging as well as people think they are.
    4. Age of Apocalypse is the best X-Men story ever.
    5. The DnA run is considered brilliant because it ended when it did (See the Annihilators follow ups).
    6. Read together, the events from Avengers Disassembled to Avengers Vs. Xmen make for a pretty epic story arc.

    Lightbulb

    * The Dark Ages of Comics where not the 1990's, but from Late 2004 threw 2012 during the Famed Heroes vs. Heroes and Schism Era!
    * I don't Believe in Hating Hero Characters in any Form; but not being interested, bored or just not liking some make Sense!
    * I Really Like Rogue as an Avenger and an X-Man!
    * Death has become Boring, a Bad Plot Surprise Ploy and near meaningless since their is always a way to Comeback!
    * Scarlet Witch was a Target and Victim of one of the Worst Character Assassinations in the most Lazies of Ways I have ever Seen! It Ignored over 15 Years of Character Development and just ignored it did not happen!
    * Scott Summers is Not Evil and was Misused in AvX!
    * Possession is Possession!
    * Mind Control is Mind Control!
    * Every character can and should come back from Bad Story Writing and Usage!
    * All the Build Up for Hope Summers over the Years was Completely Botched and Wasted in AvX!
    * SpiderMan 3 was Not That Bad of a Movie, I Enjoyed it, it just Wasted Venom's Use the Most!
    * Avengers and X-Men Divides of the teams should not exist in a shared universe!
    * I enjoyed AvX, But allot of Heroes where really OOC, Especially Captain America and Cyclops!
    * While it is good to engross in all dialogue of a Story; Bad Ideas, Mis-staments and Holes Happen and if forgotten by future stories should be seen as such!
    * Recons are a Double Edge Sword, but a Necessary to Save Characters and Stories form Bad Choices!
    * All Heroes and Their Fandom's should have Equal Rights in being Respected for who the Fan Likes!
    * The 1990's where Extreme and Gimmicky, but not as bad at times as it gets blamed for being!
    * Heroes vs. Heroes was one of the worst ideas to Befall Marvel and all comics in general!
    * The Schism in X-Men Needs to End!
    * Villains should be Villains, not replaced by Schisms, Family/Friend Feuds or Heroes vs. Heroes!
    * It does Fall Victim to plot holes and early bad writing, but Uncanny Avengers is a Fun and Exiting Book! It is a Good Read!
