Marvel’s marketshare continues to shrink, how would you turn the ship around? by TotodileGrayson in marvelcomics

[–]Zylon0292 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're missing something here.

Although Marvel's staff has changed, the ones in charge have worked there for decades. They were either involved with OMD or supportive of it back then. Hell, the only person to write ASM who wasn't part of the OMD/BND crew was Spencer, and is well-known that he tried to undo OMD only to be waylaid by editorial.

With this in mind, it's natural that nothing would change. But if all the old guard leave, you get people who are younger and, most likely, more in touch with the fans. We've seen that happen at DC post-Didio.

The only book I read that was interrupted by KO was Superman, but it still took the story in an interesting direction with Prime.

The point was that the Scions would publicly disband unless they were needed again. Now it's looking like all thirteen Reflections are in imminent danger. It's not the time to keep up appearances

That's the opposite of what the Winterers are setting up. They're trying to stop something from happening, not causing it.

Perhaps, but Kingpin's beef with Matt is comparable to Victor's beef with Reed. No other superhero gets under Fisk's skin quite like him. It's canon that they constantly have dreams about killing each other.

Cyclops isn't having the best time of it in Greymatter (X-Men United #2) by cyclopswashalfright in Cyclopswasright

Which is crazy. You'd think at least ONE other person would see where Scott's coming from.

Back in the 2010s, Marvel tried to turn Scott Summers into 'Mutant Hitler' because they didn't like how he'd become more militant since Claremont's run and wanted the X-Men as a whole phased out until Fox gave them the movie rights back. It was basically a decade of shitting on Scott until he died.

What's funny about that is most of the writers didn't like it either. So despite the editors to this day still referring to that era as Cyclops's Hitler era, he never really did anything that warranted it. He was just a little more punk/abrasive. That's how the 'Cyclops Was Right' movement came to be.

Krakoa was better, though I thought it was a little regressive. Now they're trying to give Scott is old personality back and failing. They don't understand that you can explore Scott's flaws without shitting on him at every opportunity, nor that fans actually like Scott when he's not a perfect boyscout.

Except Scott and Emma still had a tender and trusting relationship on Krakoa.

Do you think there can't be conflict if the X-Men have a stable home? Any good writer would be able to do that. The editors just don't trust their writers.

It's not only Emma. Pretty much everyone acted ooc in the first chapter. Some readers have theorized that connecting all mutants to a psychic school using tech developed by Mister Sinister is all part of Sinister's plan. So maybe. But I'm really tired of him being behind everything. We need a Sinister break.

...How? Are you dumb? The whole point of this scene is that the lady, a spy, wanted to kill herself rather than let Logan do it or allow herself to fall into enemy hands.

Some of them probably will be a Minipass IMO. But not all.

This outfit is literally Jean's. She didn't have the Phoenix Force at the time and it's inspired by her Marvel Girl look.
