Why are there no healers in superhero comics?
In-continuity it just seems weird how rare a powerset it is, and from a writer's standpoint it'd enable much more grimdark action sequences for arms to be pulled off only to be repaired next issue.

Much like resurrection, the idea that "who cares if you got your arm ripped off, Healbot will just make it grow back tomorrow" lowers the stakes by subtracting consequences.
Granted, everyone seems to recover from the ridiculous bloodsheed in Invincible anyway, but at least they're out of action for so long that Kirkman mainly uses it as an excuse to do a timeskip.

I like this thought, the only problem I could see with having healers is that they'd likely go OoM at the worst times. Anyone have a Mage table?

Anyone notice that all the bad guys in Korra seemed to be totally right until halfway through the season they suddenly turned all FOR TEH EVULKZ?
I mean this is a show were the "heroes" tried to illegally usurp the army to start a world war,attempt assassination of political enemies, prop up proxy dictators to exploit native resources , and defend autocratic regimes but all the bad guys easily could be heroes of there own series without the adition of off screen slave camps and sudden turns to satan worshipping.

Well judging by the shitty sells numbers on filthy betahumans comics, the partner-up between marvel and fox on Legion, and how villainy the shithumans have recently been; I would say that after this shitty event we might get our X-Men back to normal. Oh and the push-back (canned) shithumans movie helps too. ;-)

Likely its going end Gundam Seed Destiny style with the Inhumans flawless victory over the X-Men due to Perlmutter's pettiness and spite at Fox for owning the movie rights.

I liked One More Day. Always hated that cunt MJ. She's always been nothing more than the ultimate waifu for neckbeard fags who want to self-inset as Peter and imagine they're married to a supermodel redhead.
As character concepts, MJ and Peter never made sense relationship wise.

When is Marvel going to stop pandering to minorities and women and go back to pandering to people that need it the most: Straight White Males? Or is it only pandering when it's done towards minorities and women?

So let's recap some of the shit this show thinks it can get away with in terms of writing.
April has constantaly been shown as a barely capable fighter at best for 3 1/2 seasons straight, constantly bumbling around with very little improvement shown but cut to "a few months later" and now she's way better, thank god for undeserved and off-screen development. Not only that, they are clearly setting up her becoming corrupted by an alien artifact that enhances her powers, no matter where they go with this shit it's going to suck hard.
Speaking of all that, let's talk about Shredder who is basically April's opposite in that regard. He spent three being untouchable, not a single real defeat for him throughout the whole series until midway through season 4 where a few nerve pinches puts him down like a bitch to the point where he need to lie down in bed with badages and mutegen treatment? What the fuck, a few throwaway seconds in an episode he's barely even fucks his shit up? Not only that but somehow this causes his criminal empire (which was barely even touched upon before episode 66 and barely touched upon since) to fall into decay, like there weren't any proxies or anything, all for Karai to put an end to all of it somehow.
Continue.

This brings us into Karai, her character development is the fucking worst in the entire show. She starts out as an evil cunt who does or at least attempt to do horrible things just because she wants to do them, which isn't a bad starting point but then we get to how she changes. See ,nobody in this show can simply develop into the persona the writers want, it has to happen instantly so they can have time to promote action figures. So she goes from evil cunt, to misguided good girl, back to evil cunt and then to anti-hero, why? Finding out her real daddy is a filthy sewer rat makes instantly turn on fake dad who clothed and fed her, then fake dad puts a magic worm in her brain to restore her personality, only for filthy sewer dad to make her puke it up (side note, you puke from your stomach, not your brain) which leads her to team up with an old friend we never saw or heard from before to take down fake dad's evil empire by building her own evil empire... Do I seriously need to say more? All her character development is either way too sudden or a literal manipulation.
All of this are the pillars of the latest episode and it really irritated me how that one episode put all this into perspective.

>>85515811
Yeah this show is pretty retarded on the writing not to mention the Donnie/Casey/April love triangle having no resolution and you know it never will because they will milk it as long as they can.
Also Mikey never learns anything.
>>
>>85515890
Remember when at first anti-mutagen was hard to make but then when they needed an unlimited amount of it they just stumbled upon the ability to make an unlimited supply and forgot how to to it, all in the very same episode they needed it? Literally everything that happens after the halfway point of season 3 rests on a sudden forced convenience.

Spidey can do stuff with the web shooter and web cartridges that he can't with organic webbing (web bombs, sticky web, change the angle without moving his hand and how much he sprays them, etc..) also him making his own web and web shooters showcases that he's smart.
Also shooting his bodily fluids everywhere is gross
