Marvel's panicking with the failure of Marvel Now 2.0. The company is fucked since they have locked down pretty much the company's direction through the summer of 2017. Avengers are locked in with Hydra War (which had to be reworked due to the backlash against Hydra Cap), X-Men are locked in with X-Men Vs Inhumans, though they have a little bit more wiggle room. The only franchise not locked down are Deadpool and Spider-Man, though Deadpool's in doubt due to the fear that the Mercs For Money spin-offs tanking might carry over to the main Deadpool book.

As it stands, if anything major changes, it will be with Spider-Man. The current plan being pushed, is for Gwen Stacy, via Clone Conspiracy to survive that series and for Marvel to reunite Gwen/Peter as a couple in the main Marvel Universe, while using Renew Your Vows as a soft reboot for a more old school friendly comic universe akin to the Ultimates.

Already, there are talks about retconning X-Men '92 into being part of the Renew Your Vows universe and potentially launching an Avengers '92 style book as well. The notion is to do what Archie did with "Life With Archie": Gwen/Peter Shippers would get the main Marvel Universe while the MJ/Peter shippers get the Ultimate Marvel 2.0 Universe.

Plans now are to basically get Hydra War over as quick as possible, with it being a Stand-Off style mini-Xover for the Avengers line. What happens next is not clear, but there is talk about culling the Avengers line and bringing someone outside of Marvel to do what Grant Morrison did with the X-Men books. Whedon has been approached, to write Avengers with a "traditional" line-up of the current legacy characters (Jane Foster, the new female Iron Man, Falcon-Cap, plus four-five "traditional" Avengers: Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Jan Pym, Black Panther, and one or two high profile X-Men (Rogue and Wolverine)
>>
>>Continued

As it stands, one major plotline being pushed is the return of Wolverine, as far as doing a company wide event in the fall of 2017 to bring Logan and Jean Grey back. There are several writers (who will remain nameless) who think Marvel pissed away Wolverine's popularity and that if they bring him back in the right way, they can remind people why they love him and bring him back to huge acclaim like DC did with Pre-52 Superman and Lois.

The idea would be to officially make them a couple and spin-out them, possibly as the heart of a new Fantastic Four book, with Human Torch and Thing. Since they have broken up Jean/Scott and moved Scott on to Emma, there is the thought that there is no real downside of not doing Jean/Logan, since the Scott/Emma 'ship has proven to have legs to allow Marvel to go in that direction at long last.

While Mercs For Money has failed spin-off wise, there has been talks about doing a Punisher vs Deadpool mini-series where Punisher ends up having to assemble his own crew of vigilantes and mercs to go against Deadpool and his subordinates.

Thunderbolts is on the bubble and most likely will be canceled once Hydra War ends. The only reason it's still being published and not stealth canceled, is due to Spencer repeatedly stating the book will serve a major purpose in Hydra War, presumably where Zemo's part of the storyline will take place.

Talks had started with IDW to reprint Micronauts and ROM but the current spat over Hasbro trying to claim ownership of the Dire Wraiths, has screwed things up. Rumor is, Marvel has offered to donate the bulk of the profits they'd make off of hypothetical ROM/Micronaut TPBs to Bill Mantlo.

That's not what the spat's about, dummy. Hasbro owns their own Dire Wraiths, they're just fighting with Marvel over the trademark.

>>Conclude
Champions has been confirmed, hell or high water, for at least 24 issues. They may double ship to get through it sooner than later, but it's the one book that has no fear of cancellation. Same with Scarlet Witch, which is a passion project for James Robinson. Though Scarlet Witch may get retooled next spring when Hydra Wars launches, since Robinson has stated up front he's willing to do crossovers (as seen with Civil War) so long as he gets creative control over what happens to Wanda.

The current arc for Marvel BTW:

Civil War 2
Clone Conspiracy and Clone Conspiracy Fall-Out
Death of X/X-Men Vs Inhumans
Hydra Wars (which will build up during XvI)

Hydra War should end towards the end of Summer 2017, which is also when the X-Men Vs Inhumans fall-out should settle with the new status quo. If plans go well, Avengers should see a form of "Rebirth" relaunch that fall, along with the new Gwen/Peter driven Spider-Man book.

Marvel knows bringing Gwen back and shoving up front might alienate fans, especially the Mary Jane/Spider-Man shippers. So during spring/summer 2017, Marvel will be doing a slow but steady shilling of Gwen Stacy to make people fall for her. Kurt Busiek has been approached to write a Gwen Stacy solo book (basically a Gwen version of the "Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane") to ease fans into the Spider-Man/Gwen Stacy reunion. Mary Jane will still be around; there has been talk about having her being moved out of Iron Man and into Silver Surfer, with the idea of "relaunching" Silver Surfer with MJ as his new companion and having MJ and Surfer travel the galaxy for a bit in order to allow Gwen to have Peter all to herself.

>>
>>86928140
No.

Assuming XvI rehabilitates Scott's entire character, it would make more sense to bring him and adult Jean back together.

Scott's entire arc as a character has been that he's become a horrible human being and the most hated mutant in the world, ever since he started fooling around with Emma. So long as Scott/Emma is a thing, Scott can never be saved from the Mutant Hitler hell he's currently trapped in.

OP here.

Basically the only one who isn't panicking is Slott. And to a lesser extent, Robinson and Bendis, though Bendis is starting to crack after Civil War was universally panned and he got cockblocked by Slott on killing Peter.

Bendis being denied the right to kill Peter was a huge blow to his fat bloated ego, since he has only on rare occassions, been told no and even then, as in the case of DnA and Thanos, he always got the last laugh.

Slott's a horrible human, but he knows the ship is sinking, hence why he didn't object to Renew Your Vows: the Ongoing. And why he's bringing Gwen Stacy back; since he can't do MJ/Peter, he's going to do the next best thing and bring Gwen/Peter back as his hail mary pass to redeem himself in the eyes of fans.

I don't see them doing that since they just did away with alternate u's in Secret Wars.
Whedon has been approached, to write Avengers with a "traditional" line-up of the current legacy characters (Jane Foster, the new female Iron Man, Falcon-Cap, plus four-five "traditional" Avengers: Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, >
Vision, Jan Pym, Black Panther, and one or two high profile X-Men (Rogue and Wolverine)
I love SW and Vision but this sounds like such a blah Avengers Squad.

>a new Fantastic Four book, with Human Torch and Thing
mite b cool. I would have hoped more for a book with Old Man Logan, Robbie Reyes, Miles, and Luke Cage.

"Thunderbolts is on the bubble"
Why they decided to put shit-tier talent on the book to the point that it's so incredibly bland is one of their major fuck ups.

Lol not even the Saint Gwen purist are going to be on board for this shit and Spider-Gwen is already more interesting that boring shit 616 Gwen.

That said the only appealing thing about this is MJ and Surfer's companion because that's a pretty neat idea although I doubt Slott will remove his OC for MJ.

Also Jean/Logan is such a shit pairing regardless of who Scott is with, eughh.

>>86928408
OP here. Wanda is Robinson's Marvel waifu and basically since Bendis and certain feminist editors hate her, the idea is to basically let Robinson have his little sandbox and play with Wanda, have tea parties with Wanda, and basically protect her from those who would have fridged her first chance they could.

I know Robinson hated King's Vision, but softened slightly when King went to him, bent his knee, and asked permission to use Wanda in the book's second half and agreed to give Robinson final approval over his usage of her. Which made Bendis laugh and led to yelling between King and Bendis over Bendis being a jerk and ruining characters for the lulz. Which in turn was one of the reasons why King bailed for DC (since he like the idea that Bendis could crap on his Vision run at any time he felt like it).

>>86928393
The Carol Corp/Inhuman folks at Marvel are feeling it the worse. Everyone knows no one gives a crap about Carol Danvers or the Inhumans, but the powers that be won't stop their push no matter what. Especially with the idiots in charge of Carol; there is one editor (who will remain nameless, but she's the one who refused to allow any writer on CM have Wanda guest star) who famously said that pushing Carol was more important than fans liking Carol, since image is everything and actual sales/fan response is the real enemy since it damages the illusion they want to push.

There is also a sense that Ms Marvel needs to be divorced from the Inhumans to salvage her. One of the reasons for Champions was to give Kamala other friends to hang out with in the super-hero community.

Bendis is cracking up too: Civil War 2 and Iron Man has been complete failures creatively and in the case of Iron Man, commercially. Also, the guy had been plotting to kill the main Peter Parker for a couple of years: it's why Miles survived the purge of the Ultimate Universe. But no one at Marvel will allow him to do it and it's making him seethe with rage.....

Hydra is not behind it.

XvI is basically a band-aid event to salvage things since Marvel has realized that they screwed the pooch putting the Inhumans in direct conflict with the X-Men in a manner that made it clear how little they care about the X-Men.

I won't say how the Terrigen Cloud plotline ends but in general, the plan for XvI is for the X-Men to get vindicated and the Inhumans basically knocked down a couple of pegs and back to being hated and feared and the outcasts of the Marvel Universe.

>>86928576
Marvel wants a big name; there is talks about giving it to Jeph Loeb. I know Kieron Gillen was approached, but his pitch was rejected because he wanted to make changes to the franchise that Marvel didn't want (Marvel wants maximum synergy for the sequel). There was talk about bringing Starlin back and giving him the book, to further kiss Starlin's ass so he doesn't complain to the press about how he created Thanos and Drax but doesn't own his creations.

Hydra Cap is going away and pretty much ending up one of those things we don't talk about. Like how Tony died and was replaced with a teenage version of himself. Or how Human Torch cucked Thing and married his sweetheart. Or Aunt May being dead for about four years. Or Punisher being a mystic hitman from heaven tasked to kill demons.

You are more likely to get a Superior Spider-Man flashback book than you are to get Cap Hydra mentioned once that bell gets unrung.

The series reformated with issue #20 when Yost (who wrote the 00s X-Force revival and created X23) took over. Yost essentially depowered and killed off 95% of the cast, brought in X23, and made Hellion and his goon squad the main characters.

Sadly the trades fell out of print (and #20-47 go for a pretty penny due to the books having a super low print run along with X23 scalper syndrome) and the book was canceled/replaced with the abortion that was Young X-Men, which was so bad that Marvel basically declared it non-canon

There was talk about making the guy who formed the Americop police force gay, in the recent Cap Civil War arc, as a sort of nudge-nudge/wink-wink to the sort of alt-right/log cabin Republican element of the gay community. The guy who owned the Americops would have been a Milo-style conservative gay and they would have lampshaded how Americop's costume was pure leather/cop fetish porn.

Spencer shot down the entire idea because he didn't want to have any "evil" gay characters in Sam's book. Especially after he made a big deal about Sam marching in gay pride parades as a straight ally.

On the other hand, Marvel kind of knows they fucked up making Iceman gay and in the case of adult Iceman, doing their hardest to sidestep UXM #600 entirely. Adult Bobby is gay, but he's now in a "don't ask, don't tell" state of limbo romantically. It's one of the reasons why, if Havok/Polaris ever resurfaces, they'll most likely be married at long last so as to prevent other writers from using Lorna to cure Bobby of his homosexuality.

Carol is going full steam ahead with no changes. The feminist cancer cells are so entrenched with Carol, that you literally have an easier time getting Ike to budge on burying the X-Men/pushing the Inhumans, than getting Marvel to pull back on Carol or get rid of her and retiring the Captain Marvel name for another decade, to rehab it with someone else using the name.

Carol/T'Challa has been brought up, but a certain writer who will remain nameless vetoed it because they have no interest in a stunt relationship ala Storm/BP to boost BP sales.

Bendis doesn't believe in bisexuals.

Honest to God, he doesn't believe in bisexuality and said as much, when he demanded to be allowed to turn Iceman gay.

One of the reasons why Uncanny X-Men #600 took so long to come out, was due to editorial and Bendis feuding over the outing scene; the editor wanted adult Bobby to be bisexual and for Bendis to acknowledge this but Bendis demanded Iceman be 100% gay and eventually wore the editor down and causing him to cave.

How can one man be such a cunt?

I mean, I'm inclined to agree with that thinking, but lol, that doesn't jive with his whole persona lmao.

>>86929219
Nah, man, fist time seeing D.C. in front in like forever lol

So what bits end up making Bleeding Cool?

Bendis being a bisexual-phobic?

Gwen/Peter being the new OTP?

Whedon writing Avengers?

Hydra Cap/Hydra War being rushed Batman: Endgame style?
>>
I could buy the whole Peter/Gwen thing if that is why we are getting Miles/Gwen all of the sudden, so Bendis can step on the whole thing first with his "real" spider-man.

How about focusing on just making interesting stories with their characters instead of big 'events' every 6 months? That would be a novel concept.

Wha-what?

>>86929230
Bisexuality is generally frowned upon in men.

Women can be bisexual with no consequence (and have been for ages) but bisexuality in men is still taboo and acceptable to be discriminated against.

To most straight men, bisexual men are either

1.Sissies and effeminate freaks

2. Worthless betas who turned gay to get laid because they can't score with chicks

3. faggots who are cowards in terms of living in a "closet with a window" in it.

4. Basically Satanic Evil Monsters who fuck both sexes to advance evil schemes and plans, or to show off their toxic masculinity via fucking (and by fucking, in the eyes of the bi-phobic man, I mean rape) men as the ultimate gesture of asserting dominance over someone.
>>
Any Luke cage or Iron fist stuff?
>>
>>86929239
Probably none.

Rich got burnt big time when he posted the stuff about how Death of X was going to be about Quentin Quires and Pixie killing Inhuman kids and Cyclops being innocent and taking the fall by outing the fact that the mists were killing humans, so Rogue didn't have to become the hated figure he became. None of it happened.

How real is this? I know Civil War 2 was right on the balls but there was also the one with the X-Men supposedly getting their own dimension (Granted the school being in Hell could count as that), still that also said Scott was gonna declare war on the Inhumans and whaddaya know Scott's declaring war on the Inhumans

It's not. All the x-men spoilers were bullshit too. The only ones they got right were the ones everyone already knew.

Bendis couldn't think he'd actually get to kill Peter Parker.
>>
>>86929249
If there wasn't a "for real this changes everything this time" event 2 or 3 times a year, how would Marvel justify spamming a bunch of renumberings for that sweet #1 money?
>>
>>86928288
>Bendis is starting to crack after Civil War was universally panned and he got cockblocked by Slott on killing Peter.
>Bendis being denied the right to kill Peter was a huge blow to his fat bloated ego, since he has only on rare occassions, been told no and even then, as in the case of DnA and Thanos, he always got the last laugh.

I remember him gloating about Battle of the Atom: When it came out, he was forced to collaborate with Wood and Aaron on the event since they were writing the other two X-Men books at the time, and he had to compromise with them as to the backgrounds and motivations of a lot of the future X-Men characters. The MOMENT they were off their books, he brought the characters back in one of his own books and immediately retconned their backstories and motivations to what he'd originally wanted, stripped of the contributions of his co-workers. Then he gloated about it in interviews.

The level of hubris and contempt he has for his fellow creators, and the degree to which he wants HIS vision and HIS versions of characters to replace and eclipse existing ones is so toxic at this point it's shocking to me that anyone is willing to him anything that he wants.

It's no wonder he thought that he could replace the real Spider-Man with HIS Spider-Man and have it stick. The man's ego knows no bounds.

>>
>>86928580
>Which made Bendis laugh and led to yelling between King and Bendis over Bendis being a jerk and ruining characters for the lulz.

I remember a story that - bizarrely enough - Bendis told around ten or so years ago, back when Editors were still willing to say no to him and he seemed willing to listen.

He was writing Daredevil at the time, and was writing a story which would see the original White Tiger killed off ("fridged", as they say) in order to advance another story. Joe Quesada saw the script and sat Bendis down to talk to him about this.

The jist of what he had to say was something like this: "Hey, how would you like it if I were to call Kurt Busiek right this minute and ask him if it would benefit one of his stories to kill off Jessica Jones in one of his books? You wouldn't like it? Well guess what? Nobody else would either. So you call George Perez and you get his fucking blessing before I'm giving you the green light to kill off the character he created." (Bill Mantlo was the writer who created the character, but presumably by that point his brain damage would have made a similar conversation with him meaningless)

At that time, Bendis related this story as a sobering lesson about respecting the creation of his fellow creators, but sadly it seems like he internalized none of that lesson and no editor since Quesada has had the juice to have the same sort of conversation with him.
>>
Ok, if the pretend insider is still around:

Who's Marvel's main writers going to be besides Bendis/Slott now that so many writers jumped ship to work exclusively on creator owned books or signed exclusive deals with DC?
>>
>>86929865
It worked for a couple years until they pounded it into the dirt, past the dirt, through the crust, into the mantle, and I think we've hit magma now.

Yeah we're at magma now.

Or to put it another way in a better group of writers's hands Scott's flirtation with fascism could've been great but the dude should've turned around YEARS ago instead of the huge fucking mess we got.
>>
>>86929875
Aaron.
>>
>>86929896
well fuck THAT.
>>
>>86929889

That's part of the story. Once you start down that path you can't turn away from it; the solution for a fascist is always "more fascism." The one thing I will say in favor of your position is that a character who makes no good decisions is as uninteresting as a character who makes no bad decisions.

I remember being a DC fag before the New 52 came along. I consumed morrison bats, new krypton, JSA, JLA, secret six, Birds of Prey, batgirl, Powergirl, Green Lantern titles and even some extended cosmic shit.

Then they fuck up in their reboot and suddenly Marvel start putting out more killer stuff around then. Brubaker was still on Cap, Remender on X Force, Utopia was still a fun thing that existed, Hickmans FF was still good, I think Kid Loki was still alive and adorable.


Now everythings completely shifted the other way. What the fuck.

Even if Marvel higher-ups were all retarded( which at this point wouldn't be a too wild assumption), there is absolutely no way they are satisfied with the current situation.

>>
>>86932853
That's not really fair. He's done some top noch shit in the past, namely She-Hulk and GLA. My main gripe with the guy is that he's been on Spider-Man way too long, which made people wise to his style of writing. Also how he throws hissy fits when confronted with criticism. He should have left on a high note years ago and maybe, /maybe/ come back on occasions for a couple arcs if he /really/ wanted to. Then promptly after fuck off and let someone else have a turn.

>(which had to be reworked due to the backlash against Hydra Cap)
>>
>>86932952
Slott's problem is he's a slow writer (which is why he often has to farm scripts out to Chris Gage). I don't think he has the energy to create and promote his own independent work the way some of the other ex-Marvel writers do, so writing Spider-Man is pretty much the best gig he's ever going to have, after many years spent trying to work his way up the ladder.

So I can't exactly blame him for not leaving, because what else would there be for him to do? And Marvel can't replace him because it's one of their more successful books and they have plenty of weaker spots they can't plug.

So I've never read Secret Wars. I do know that the Ultimate universe was done away with in it but you're saying they got rid of alternate universes in general? I'm sorry but that statement doesn't make sense to me because if that was true then shouldn't Spider-Gwen's series (which takes place in an alternate u) not be a thing?
>>
>>86929674
Slott's Silver Surfer book has been Dr. Who fan fiction from the start
>>
>>86933135
Probably because editors live vicariously through Spidey and a married Spidey reminds them too much of their own married lives.
>>
>>86933226

Yeah, they got rid of all existing ones, including Earth 616, but at the conclusion of that story, the process of rebuilding the multiverse, including restoring a lot of existing parallel worlds began immediately. Web Warriors was all about these characters, post-Secret Wars, bopping between many established and new universes.

One reason I don't find this story convincing is that I don't believe Bendis actually hates any of the characters he ruins except maybe OG Wasp. He genuinely believes he made Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye better characters. Because he's a nut.

>>86934146
Wait, what did he do to Hawkeye?

>brought in X23
X-23 was getting added to the book regardless. The original writers talked about it online quite a bit on forums and shit when they were still on the book; she was forced onto them by editorial (although they didn't sound bitter about it). Their dismissal from the book and Yost & Kyle getting added was a very sudden thing. They had some storylines plotted out for post-House of M, stuff like going to Nova Roma to put to bed the whole bullshit with Magma's background or Elixir going insane in his desire to re-power mutants. They basically learned they were off the book only shortly before the fans did.

I dunno, Bendis is one of Quesadilla's butt boys and DC is angry with Quesada so it would have to be Bendis having a major fallout with Marvel.

He won't get to DC top without some fucking good writing and good selling but he won't get tje priviliges he has in Marvel with DC that's for sure. He would be no ones buddy at DC and he would have to start from zero.

Maybe with good editors and the right motivation Bendis could even produce something decent.

This. It's no secret that the higher ups at Marvel have wanted MJ gone for DECADES and it wasn't just Quesada, contrary to popular belief. And if anything, RYV is a bad sign for MJ fans as it's basically Marvel saying that it's going to be a LONG time before they're together again in the main continuity. If they get back together at all
>>
>>86936927
Meh, I'm used to it. Thankfully they'll now be TWO ongoing canons where Peter's married to MJ instead of just the one like it was from 2010-2015 (RYV and the newspaper strip)

Man, Marvel Comics really needs to take a step back. If I were in charge, I'd really be pushing to do a company wide relaunch/reboot, to wipe the slate clean, and I'd be releasing core titles, with new, talented writers and artists, to bring in fresh ideas and materials, and also use it to establish a concrete basis for the world.

We don't fucking want MJ with powers either. We just want Peter to be able to fucking grow as a person into an adult. To have his 148 year old Aunt die naturally and have him have to actually deal with loss like a person. To have him grow up by being married to MJ and having kids (she doesn't need fucking powers) Tha's what people want you fucking retards.

On a side note, have they ever actually SHOWN what happened between MJ and Venom in between ASM #299 and #300?

I remember in the 1990s, there being fan debate towards whether or not Eddie raped MJ when he ambushed her at the end of #299 and the notion that MJ's "I'm afraid of the black Spidey suit" being a result of said rape.

>>86946201
OP here.

As I stated here (>>86929055) and here (>>86929144), Adult Bobby's homosexuality can't be overturned/downgraded to bisexuality due to Bendis being Bendis. So Marvel's just putting Adult Bobby in a transparent closet where they will dance around the issue of his sexuality without mentioning it and have him live a life as a celibate until they can undo what Bendis did.

And Kitty/Bobby won't happen ever again. Kitty now has been branded with the Brian Bendis tramp stamp, so any writer who wants to use her has to kiss Bendis' ring and he'll never allow Aaron to reunite the pair.

And given how Bendis intends gay Bobby to be one of his permanent legacies, you might actually see a Havok/Polaris wedding just to crash THAT 'ship and cement Bobby with no female love interest.
>>
>>86929055
And she could do it, too.
>>
If I got a chance I'd make Bobby transgender, and use space magic to turn him fully and completely into a 'her' - Roberta 'Bobbi' Drake, Ice Woman.

Just to fuck with Bendis.
>>
>>86948524
I hope someone undoes it. Bendis is a crackpot. Sexuality isn't fixed. It's not even genetic.
>>
Bringing back Gwen for good would actually be really exciting.

>>86948653

Wilson working his satus up as Falcon would have been so much better than swiping the Cap name as a shortcut. Plus, he doesn't even act like himself anymore. Much like Carol.

>>
>>86940074
OP again....

Blade is mostly in limbo while they sort out if they want Snipes back or not.

Certain people at Marvel (COUGH COUGH BENDIS COUGH COUGH) are dead set on making any Blade revival feature a daughter character and in particular, certain people (COUGH COUGH BENDIS COUGH COUGH) would sooner be rid of Blade himself and just use said hypothetical daughter for any future comics and movie project.

Snipes however, was made aware of this by friendly folk at Marvel, so he's playing hard ball given that one of the main reasons he walked from the franchise in the first place, was due to the studio making the Blade movies tried to morph Blade into "Blade and the Nightstalkers" with the third film. And Marvel knows the PR nightmare if they shun Snipes; they fear the PR backlash if they don't bring Snipes back in favor of a female character (a rare case of them knowing their current SOP is self-harming and admitting it to themselves).

Also a bit of a fun fact: Riri Williams? Bendis' "Daughter of Blade: Vampire Killer" pitch, rewritten in Iron Man drag. He got tired of waiting and waiting so he re-purposed his proposed female Blade original character don't steal as a new Iron Man.

As for Monsters Unleashed, it's going to be a non-event event. Basically a filler mini-series largely pitched as a vanity project for various A and B List artists to draw Marvel heroes fighting monsters in a throwaway setting.

I will say Hydra will be involved in the story but it will be in a minor way that won't make it required reading for Hydra War.
>>
>>86948653
That would just make it worse. For the modern SJW, homosexuality is the gateway to transgenderism and then blowing one's head off with a shotgun because you realize that ruined your life by cutting off your dick and can't undo it because dicks can't be reattached and major body level hormonal changes can cause damage to the flesh.
>>
>>86948990
I thought Tim Seeley pitched the 'daughter of Blade' character and book. He was the guy lined up to write it.
>>
>>86948990
Makes sense. Bendis has two adopted black daughters and is really preachy about representing black women. Also, any info on the Bobby stuff? What do the other writers think of that?
>>
I'm kind of curious what OP has to say about Dennis Hopeless. Because, despite the level of shit he's done, his X-book is selling.

And Spider-Woman . . . Isn't that bad. It aint good, but it isn't bad either.

Still, I want him screwed over. Because fuck him for Arena.

Is there any chance of that, Anon? Tell me a story.

>Also, the guy had been plotting to kill the main Peter Parker for a couple of years: it's why Miles survived the purge of the Ultimate Universe

I believe that. Bendis will do anything to insure Miles Legacy.
>>
>>86949709
Another funny story was the hissy fit he threw when he was vetoed from killing off Scott Lang in Alias (even though Geoff Johns was using him in Avengers and had him front and center of the title) and defied Brevoort via writing the death in the issue and having the artist deliver the art to Marvel with Scott eaten alive via his own ants via Purple Man making him kill himself.

Brevoort got so pissed, he basically forced Bendis and the artist on Alias to rewrite the next issue so that Scott was alive and the death scene handwaved as Purple Man using previously unseen powers to project illusions on Jessica.

And Bendis, when asked to write Avengers, only doing so IF he could kill Scott Lang off (and getting pissy at Finch for refusing to draw Scott's corpse, tiny and charred, to prevent anyone from ever resurrecting him) and his pissing match with Heinberg, who flat out QUIT MARVEL when Bendis refused to let him bring Scott back (killing Young Avengers in the process) and then Bendis AGAIN trying to kill Scott (via proxy in the form of his BFF Matt Fraction) after Disney forced Marvel (who refused to bring Scott back to keep Bendis happy) to bring Scott back, so they could get Heinberg to do more TV work for the company.

Oh and Bendis only bringing OG Vision back SPECIFICALLY to fuck over Heinberg, to force him to kill off YA Vision, which in turn caused Heinberg to refuse to do the Avengers vs X-Men tie-in plot point that Children's Crusade was supposed to have (which was that Wanda went insane evil because Doom made her into the new Dark Phoenix, via bonding her to the Phoenix Force, as Heinberg changed the ending to make it a generic unnamed HP Lovecraft monster instead called the Life Force Entity)
>>
>>86949275
That was Bendis' retcon, Anon.
>>
>>86949870
Every time I learn something new about him I hate the guy more.
>>
>>86949870
Why the fuck does Bendis have a killing fetish?
Like damn nigga calm the fuck down with the killing.
I get he wants to be the next Stan Lee in remembrance of popular comic writers but you dont do this by killing and replacing folks with shitty OCs.
>>
>>86949870
And yet people keep acting like he's the nicest guy in the world.

I expect once he's retired or off Marvel books these stories will start coming out more and more.
>>
>>86928994
They made Wolverine the calm and collect leader while making Cyclops the rebel mutant loved by the mutant masses for being action oriented.

I will never understand this creative decision.
>>
>>86949987
Remender certainly had a killing fetish. Hope Bendis follows him to do shitty creator owned crap.
>>
>>86950037
I don't recall who Remender killed.
>>
>>86949870
Is there anyone who Bendis hasn't pissed off by killing characters they were using or would want to use? Did anyone get angry at him for Hawkeye?
>>
So OP, what do the other writers think about what Bendis did to Iceman, Iron Man, and Luke Cage.
>>
>>86949987
He has the list of characters he hates and he'll shit ob them at any chance.

So are they really putting Jean and Logan together? Gross.

>hail mary pass to redeem himself in the eyes of fans.

This is entirely fiction and this line proves it.

Slott loves nothing more than pushing fans' buttons. He would never pander to peoples' expectations like this, nor would Marvel editorial ever let 616 Pete get married again since editorial was trying to figure out how to annul the marriage since pretty much day 1. Clone Saga was originally pitched as a way to remove a married Peter organically.
>>
>>86949987
Bendis is the type of guy who would sooner break a toy than let anyone else play with it. Even if he didn't want to play with it to begin with.

He's also a failed noir writer who literally wishes he was a TV or movie writer. Part of a generation of writers (like Ellis, Millar, Brubaker, Fraction, Gillen, among others) who couldn't get a job in "legit" media or publishing (or in the case of Gillen, forced to do video game journalism, AKA the interacial gang bang porn genre of journalism) and had to resort to writing comics.

Bendis is an Ayn Rand villain come to life. He doesn't believe one iota in heroism, hence why all of his stories have heroes as monsters and fuck-ups and murderers and fail at everything they do. And who idolizes villains like Norman Osborn and Maria Hill and Doctor Doom.

His Ultimate Spider-Man was filled with this: from his second arc, where Spidey brings down Kingpin and rather than be praised, EVERYONE in the police force and the Daily Bugle call Spidey a complete monster, since in spite of portraying Wilson Fisk as a complete monster of a mob boss who among other things, bought controlling interest in the Daily Bugle SPECIFICALLY so he could silence J Jonah Jameson and threaten him with death on a regular basis if he ran anything about his criminal activities, Fisk was GOOD INFLUENCE on New York and getting (temporarily) dethroned as king of crime was going to make New York WORSE.

Not to mention the sick joke that was Peter Parker's death: killed by fucking up something simple, with the lesson being that Peter's only reward for being Spider-Man is that he got to die before Nick Fury could make good on his threat to enslave Peter and harm his loved ones if he refused to be Nick's slave when he turned 18.

Fabian was pissed off but Brevoort (who apparently stuck his neck out to get Hawkeye his own ongoing when Thunderbolts got cancelled/turned into Fight Club-Bolts) didn't give a shit* and even embargoed anyone from using Clint for about a full year and a half after House of M, when the anti-Bendis fan revolt forced him to make Bendis bring him back.

(Bendis has admitted that Brevoort COULD have stopped him from killing Hawkeye, but agreed to let Bendis kill him off, because the failure of Clint ongoing apparently caused some internal politicking against Brevoort for pushing for the title as far as Brevoort pushing projects that failed sales-wise; supposedly this is why Brevoort gave the fuck up and didn't do anything to reign Bendis in on Avengers, as he let Bendis effectively castrate him for the sake of having a top selling book to keep rival editors from getting Jemas and Quesada to remove him from his cushy spot on the Marvel pecking order)

>>86950279
That was the backpeddle when people called Bendis out on the implications of Nick basically telling Peter that he was going to be a slave of the US government once he became a legal adult.

Nick made it clear that once Peter turned 18 he'd be "drafted" and become a literal slave to Nick Fury, doing whatever bloody wetworks Nick ordered him to do, simply because he had powers.

Bendis backpeddled by having Nick claim that he meant that Peter would join the Ultimates and work for him as an operative, but stories that followed showed that Nick was bullshitting Peter to keep him from running when he told him that and was even working on plans to kill Spidey in the event he DID run on his 18th birthday

>>
>>86927702
They'd literally solve all their problems if they just started a new universe that's exactly like 616 except Civil War and everything afterwards is non-canon.

Everything started going to shit when Pete unmasked himself; that was the catalyst for losing MJ, resetting everything, assassinating characters for the sake of big "everyone vs everyone" events, and basically everything else wrong with current Marvel.

Just let the casuals and Tumblr artists consume 616 while all the real comics make up their own universe, where Spider-Man is a worthwhile series and the X-Men/F4 still exist.

But anon, you don't understand.
The Nu-Marvel Comics fanbase doesn't actually BUY stories, they just follow the big events so they can bullshit their way through a conversation with their trendy friends after getting out of the latest MCU romp.

If you make the stories complicated, then you lose this new market of attention-seeking idiots who will buy utter garbage like Squirrel Girl in order to look progressive and on top of things in the Marvel world.

If you get rid of this market of sheep who will eat up anything with a 1 on the cover, you'll have to actually write good stories. And we all know Marvel is allowed maybe two good books at a time.

That's how a lot of DC has felt to me too. It's always about the crossover events.

One of the worst parts is that people even recommend newcomers start by reading insanely complicated crossovers. "I'm new to DC, where should I start?" "Read Flashpoint and Rebirth, then the Crisis saga."
>>
>>86950532
Use the line that you're "pan-sexual" and tell them "you love the person for their soul, apart from gender", it's better branding.

>>
>>86951037
DC does crossovers every now and then, it's never a big sham like Marvel has been. Heck from N52 the only time you could even call a line wide crossover was the anniversary months and that itself is a long stretch.

Marvel is doing everything wrong and soon everything is going to collapse under the weight of all this shit.

>I know Robinson hated King's Vision, but softened slightly when King went to him, bent his knee, and asked permission to use Wanda in the book's second half and agreed to give Robinson final approval over his usage of her. Which made Bendis laugh and led to yelling between King and Bendis over Bendis being a jerk and ruining characters for the lulz. Which in turn was one of the reasons why King bailed for DC (since he like the idea that Bendis could crap on his Vision run at any time he felt like it).

There is of course no proof that the OP has any special knowledge at all.

The thing that is the kicker for me is the Bendis vs. Heinberg stuff. Disney's interest in Heinberg isn't that well-known on message boards. Comic books don't have much crossover with shows like Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Sex and the City, etc.

Disney does their damnedest to keep him working on shows for ABC. Him returning to do Children's Crusade after being gone for so long from Marvel had to be a carrot on a stick from Disney.

He was alright at first, it was only after they got rid of the other 3 that Scott went over the edge and absorbed Emma's power as well.

Those three after Namor lost it were cracking up hard, but that doesn't mean that Phoenixclops wasn't losing it too, that one just knows how to repress feels better.

And if anything was the trigger it was Professor Brainrape telling him it's time for another mental adjustment, PhoenixFrost was losing it hard before the fight began but she kept it together and didn't kill anyone, Phoenixclops was keeping it together beforehand and ended up killing Chucky, then going Dark'.
What was the difference? One was getting an unwelcomed telepathic lobotomy at the same time as they were keeping all that Phoenix crazy at bay.

So the old phrase of "You should never meet your heroes" ought to really be "You should never meet the wrtiers of your comic book heroes". I knew Bendis was a shitlord but didn't know the petty exents he would go for full authoritative control. Most of what OP describes is like a never ending bitch fit to the tune of "I know how Character X is supposed to be better than you!".

DC Rebirth is looking better by the minute. Although to be fair I bet they have just as much in-fighting about how a hero should act or be represented.

DC has been ahead of marvel before, like the September gimmick months and first 3 or so months of new 52

Wish I could find it again but somebody had sales figures since the mid 90s and had the number of months marvel was first and the number DC was first, and marvel was first at a waaaaaaay higher number than DC.

>reunite Gwen/Peter as a couple in the main Marvel Universe
No, this is the wrong type of nostalgia pandering. Nobody cares about Gwen/Peter, Gwen's been dead for far, far longer than she was alive and Peter/MJ is the widely-accepted cross-platform OTP. You might as well put Peter back in high school somehow.

>Classic-style Ultimate universe
I'm down for it, hopefully a) it's done well, b) the fans buy it, c) its success means some more old-school elements trickle back into 616

> culling the Avengers line and bringing someone outside of Marvel to do what Grant Morrison did with the X-Men books
Yes, but
>with a "traditional" line-up of the current legacy characters

Is not that. All the legacies + a handful of classic Avengers is literally Waid's run right now. This isn't going in any sort of new direction. Do a Bendis-style shakeup of introducing brand-new members (although that's incredibly hard since basically everyone's been an Avenger at this point) or go the Busiek route of embracing continuity with a traditional (and not "traditional") lineup while writing new stuff.

> bring Logan and Jean Grey back
Not yet, the X-books are in a sorry state and I don't see a quality, visionary writer on the horizon. If you want to do this, I'd prefer a general Heroes Return/Brightest Day type thing, bringing back all the old fan-favorites who needlessly died in recent years.

>Jean/Logan
Literally the most boring idea possible. It's worse than Clark/Diana because at least those two had never been really been in a quasi-romantic situation before. Jean and Logan spent twenty fucking years doing the temptation/forbidden love aspect, and, like Gwen/Peter, would just be character regression.

Honestly, as much as I prefer Scott/Emma, I think you could write a very strong story about Scott and Jean finding redemption through each other.

You DO know there is no such thing as "Jesse Baker" right?

"Jesse Baker" is a sock puppet account along the lines of "Gossip Girl, created by one of the producers of Beast Machines to troll Warren Ellis back on his old Delphi Forum.....

There are multiple people across multiple fandoms (comics, cartoons, television, wrestling) that have used the idenity. Passing around the name and social media profile log in information like the Gossip Girl laptop. Using the name to shitpost and troll and say things they couldn't normally say to others faces or even online.

To say you are " Jesse Baker" is akin to saying you are Dread Pirate Roberts
