Bagley saved Bendis' ass time after time during their USM run. He straight out avoided his guidelines and wen't by his own pace. Same thing with Capullo and Snyder on Batman.

I don't know this perfectly, but at this time, I'm pretty sure Osborn is still publicly believed to be a good guy. I haven't read much pre-JMS Spidey (once they get the constant mixing spin-off books it becomes a nightmare to keep up with), but I think Osborn being a gibbering madman doesn't become common knowledge yet.

>>85911530
Its Bendis Anon. This is the guy who made it look like Captain Britain was some upcoming amateur superhero not worth contacting when the badoons invaded London in his GoTG issue.

This is the guy who has completely shat on speedball in all his comics written by him, even tho Speedball basically started the same way spidey did and was part of a very competent team.

Well not everyone dude, tons of marvel writers have tried to revive the new warriors with speedball included. I think Slott (back when he was good), Yost, Ewing and Gage probably love the new warriors. In my experience only Millar or Bendis shat on him a lot and those were the biggest mainstream writers of Marvel.

I never liked the warriors or speedball but even for me their treatment of those guys was down right atrocious.

>>85911855
Bendis is a continuity whore when it suits him Anon. He genuinely doesn't care if he contradicts old stuff in the name of the story HE is wanting to tell. He is insufferable twat like that.

A lot of his early haters hated him because he was so smug about it. Now its cool to hate him but for entirely different reasons.

I mean this is the guy who kept tons of notes of how marvel universe would be fundamentally altered if Hank Pym was removed from the equation. Of course those notes became worthless because he didn't do jack shit in age of ultron but whatever, Bendis does what he pleases.

I like to think JJ genuinely feels bad for the last thing he said to her basically being chewing her out for something HE didn't like.

>>85912040
But thats the thing, he contradicts them because he wants to tell the story HIS way. Which includes contradicting his own shit multiple times.

I swear there was an interview where someone called him out on it and Bendis just answered the point is he is writing comics as entertainment. If you were entertained then does it matter?

The entire world to forget thing is a recent thing started by Peter and continued by Daredevil I guess.

>The identity of Iron Man was publicly revealed when Tony donned his suit to save a dog from being run over. This was then later covered up by Stark claiming to have given up the suit with someone else now inside.

Not a mindwipe like OMD but close enough I'd say.

Yeah, this is basically the most badass Jessica Jones has ever been in the decade she's been. Like actually badass, not just threatening.

I mean, it didn't last long, but she fucking smacked the Green Goblin with his own glider, after flying fast enough to catch him on the damn thing. Imagine what she could do if she actually, you know, worked out a bit.

He can't always jerk it to murdering Peter.
Plus side, post OMD, now that he doesn't know who Spider-Man is, he can fantasize murdering Peter Parker AND Spider-Man.

You can tell that was made ten years ago, because Miles isn't on that list of characters Bendis loves, but HAWKEYE is.

Thanks, OP. This was fun.

>>85914508
Any time, Anon.

>>85914355

it seems like the thesis is predicated on usage = love and not what happens to them. which Bendis sells but i dont totally but from him.

anyway he clearly hates hawkeye cause dude wasn't hawkeye again until like fraction

>>85914396

>Bugle cover references the classic "half Parker/half Spider-Man" thing

neat.

I really enjoyed this OP. Top points old chap!

>>85911989
Bendis is a sick fuck who gets off on women suffering. He's literally a /co/mrade who made it into Marvel.

>>85911285
He did this sometimes in Alias too.

>>85911897
It's intentional, like a flash of the Green Goblin personality.

>>85910663

>feet

who thought this was a good idea?

>>85912611
I think it's mental. She was still pretty down through most of Alias, and all of the scenes shown in flashbacks where she flew, it was a completely joyous, freeing experience. Later once she's doing better personally and she starts wearing the Jewel costume and working with the Avengers, she can fly ok again.

Like POTTERY.

>>85916669
Oh, wait until New Avengers and Tigra.

>>85913816
*RUMP*

>>85918138
That's what I'm talking about, yeah. Like I said, Bendis is sick in the head.

>>85910663
>Today, we see what Jessica got into after finally leaving the MAX line.

Is it "become a pointless hanger on to the Avengers?"

>>85910982
Who the fuck formatted that first framed paper? That thing is a fucking disaster.

I actually really like Pulse, more than Alias, even though I have copies of both. Watching Luke beat the shit out of Osborn was a cathartic experience. I hate that smug fuck.

Technically, the Pulse trade goes all the way up to the birth, but I suppose it makes sense to show what got Luke into trouble in the first place.

Danny is such a dick to Jessica though, to the point of going against what Luke would want. I have no idea why the writers thought that was a good idea. He's usually pretty likable.

>>85911041
Not having Ben Urich at the Bugle in a MCU was a suboptimal.

>>85911389
>Bendis doesn't read comic books

Yeah, that tracks.

>>85911687
I miss when Norman Osborn was a mostly chestless corpse.

>>85919222
No, that's what she became after this. Around now, they're still trying to convince people she'll stick around.

>>85919702

She will, if only because of the MCU.

She was already 'popular' enough for Bendis to justify keeping her around and in some prominent books, even if it was as a side character. Alias and Pulse did well. Now? She's in the top twenty most recognizable MCU heroes thanks to how well received her Netflix show was. She's one of, what, five prominent female heroines? And has the biggest role of all of them, with her own show? (Widow, Wanda, Jessica or Skye are probably equally known, and then Wasp and maybe Carter.) We'll have to wait for Captain Marvel and see if Carol can pull off her own solo as to whether she stays the only female hero in a solid solo MCU product.

Her ongoing will be here to stay, I imagine.

Wait, is Bob Hope one of New York's most powerful people?

>>85912158
>If you were entertained then does it matter?

And if I'm not entertained, as I almost always am not with Bendis writing, but his sloppy continuity craps up something I was enjoying?
What then?

>>85912179
Don't worry, we'll get worse, as Luke degenerates into Generic Black Man.

>>85912643
>So what's Stiltman been up to, lately?

Hopefully, getting ready to save the day by fighting Captain Hydra's Evilvengers next year.

>>85913259
>Peter, Spider-Man was Germany when Ned Leeds was murdered. He's never around when you aren't around, except for that time your cousin, who I'm pretty sure was your clone, stayed here when you moved to Portland.

>>85913527
90s cartoon and Raimi-Man both have him.

>>85913662
Can I just take a second here and complain about Ultimate Goblin and the fact that it's not at all goblin-y in any way?

616 Green Goblin is a goofy Silver Age design... but it fits the name well, and has seen some good adaptations to the times to make it a bit less outwardly silly without making it a fire barfing Hulk.

>>85920808
So, thoughts on the more armored Goblin costumes?

>>85913875
Pfft. He did actually kill Peter's baby, though.

>>85914222
Well, at least he's losing shirts again, even if they aren't bulk bought golden silk.

90's shit, didn't happen because Pete and MJ weren't married. Though they stayed together through all of Kraven's Last Hunt, Venom, The Clone Saga, and John Bryne and a fat man trying to kill MJ is the straw that breaks the camel's back.
