Is Bendis hate just a fad? A trend? Are we really missing out

>>92483036
He's not the greatest but he does get too much hate.

Nah, he just really sucks.

>>92483036
Is OP a shill?

>>92483112
OP here. I mostly hate Bendis but am quite taken aback that there are those who actually thinks of him as a great writer. He's a hit and miss. He's good at his own game but he's not very flexible. There are books of him I did enjoy reading but the books I did not weighs far heavier than those that I did.

Beyond the meme i genuinely hate Bendis' writing and I mean anything I've ever read from him before and after hating him became the default position on /co/.

>>92483171
Nice backpedaling, bro.

Bendis?

>>92483481
I'm not your bro, pal

>>92483036

He has written nice shit in the past.

Now he is awful and needs to be put out to pasture.

>>92483036
What talent?

Cyclops was right. Even when writers try to write him wrong.

>>92484886
Talent? You mean, like, skill?

>>92483036
>Bendis is a great writer

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

>>92483036
>Is Bendis hate just a fad?

No. People have been hating him since Disassembled and HoM. If it's a trend, it's been going on for nearly a decade. It's just now a lot more people realize how shitty he is.

>>92484974
Skill?

>>92483036
bendis doens't have bad ideas

the problem is he doesn't care about his ideas.

"here's the 05 x-men in their youth. what you expected some major arc about what each chracter means and meant and what this kind of time travel meant for reality?, nah they'll just stay here and do jack"

"here's iron man in space with the gotg. what you expected him to come bakc having leartn something? nah none of it mattered"

"let's here's a potential kitty - star lord romance. what, you expected it to build up and make you wonder if it works or nto? nah they'll date a couple times and marry"

Does any of you have that screenshot on how Bendis destroyed Wanda?

He's a great crime writer, but can't plot superhero comics for shit.

Girl Power.

The guy needs to just stick to writing one street level book, anything he sucks at, Guardians, AN X-Men, Uncanny XMEN, Spider-Lad, Ironman, Ultimate End, Avengers vs X-Men, Civil War 2, all have been shit

Siege was when I realized he was shit.

>>92485449
Took you that long?

>>92483036
He can write "close to life" stories about crime and vigilantes more or less alright, but his writing has no place in "classic" superhero stories. Superheroes are larger than life. Bendis turns them into street punks with CW-level "IRL-like" dialogues.

>>92483036

Pre-2010 Bendis was good enough when he wasn't doing events.

Alias
Daredevil
Dark Avengers
The Pulse
Ultimate Spider-Man

Post 2010 Bendis is when he went to shit

All-New X-Men
Guardians Of The Galaxy
Miles Morales
Invincible Iron Man
Uncanny X-Men

>>92485700
Alias and The Pulse are fucking garbage.

>>92485779
It's way better than AN X-Men or his GoTG

>>92485700
Nah shit before then. Can't exclude events or shit on chars I don't like.

>>92483036
his fall from grace started when wrote the Avengers.

still pissed at him for singlehandedly ruining the Hood

Miles Morales is bland as fuck and wins all his fights with his spider-tasers

He ignores continuity to the point where he ignores stuff even he wrote.

His X-men work was the worst X-men I've ever read. 9 months to tell a 4 part story that he retcons in the end.

His Daredevil and Ultimate Spider-man were great but that shit was a long time ago. the man doesn't give a fuck anymore and thinks he shits gold.

>>92485476
I started reading comics when Dark Reign started.

Bendis wrote nice things in the past.
..
Now everything of his that is published feels like the "first draft" of a project. Superfluous dialogue, gaping plot holes, ideas that start and go nowhere, themes that are introduced then barely explored, half-assed, deux ex machinas endings, all things you throw in during the very first attempt to sketch out a story, before you iron out all the details and actually write the real deal, only he never starts that part.

>>92485875
They do but at the time it was also within a level he was better at. It got more noticable because he was working on books he shouldn't have worked on, or at least learned to vary his dialogue and characterization better before working on.

Like for instance, a bunch of nameless goons would talk like this. The fucking Wizard shouldn't be.

>>92485927
> then Spencer went and made her Hydra

Why they do this to my Wanda?

>>92486297
You should see how he wrote Annhilus. THAT was criminal!

>>92486297
Fuck that. My dog could write a better.

I believe Bendis is a good writer at heart. As in, he has the skills and the ideas to make good stories happen.

But he's also a slut. He will do anything for the Marvel editorial even if it hurts his sales, and to pander to the moviegoing audience too.

Bendis is really flawed, but he can write when he isn't exposing his asshole to the whims of the editorial department. He does need editoris though, just not "idea guys".

But then again I guess this is his shortcut for telling the reader, "this is a college educated person."

>>92486297
...Wasn't Dr. Doom with the Fantastic Four just a few years before that?

My reasoning with Bendis is this.

He's been top selling for over a decade, so why should he bother trying anymore if people will still eat up his stuff? He doesn't have to work hard because no matter what he does, it will sell.

>>92486428
Yes, along with the Wizard's clone Bentley.

>>92486477
>because no matter what he does, it will sell.

Sales heavily dropped when he was doing X-Men. Same with his Guardians of the Galaxy.

It's Vision, he knows how Wanda's brain works and muttered something in binary that triggered her to seemingly become a blank slate, Vis is probably siding with Cap because he was one of a handful of avengers who didn't show up to try and stop him from avenging the death of his son on Victor.

If anyone is going to know how to take Wanda down its going to be Vision

>>92486602
By the way, if you're wondering about the increase in #15, that was the Marvel Now 2.0 launch.

Bendis peaked with Dark Reign. He's written nothing even acceptable ever since. He only had a decade in him, like many other writers.

I'm not much of a comic man myself, but from what few comics of his I've read, I think the hate is legitimate. It's not just that he is mind-numbingly lazy and mediocre it's that he writes as though he thinks he's a better writer than he actually is.

>>92486615
no, you moron, Madame Hydra is butt-buddies with Chthon, and Vision was hacked by Zola

>>92486602
And this was with McNiven on art. Bendis's rep for being an A-lister is very overrated given his failures on books like Moon Knight and Spider-Woman. His only real successes were USM, New Avengers and probably DD in terms of sales.

>>92486711
Okay, but how does that disprove anything that I posted? It was Vision who turned Wanda against the faces, the only thing I got wrong was Vis' motivation.

>>92486710
Even CBR which has Marvel's cock in their mouth are wary of Bendis on FF which shows just far he has fallen in terms of popularity.

>>92486753
>And this was with McNiven on art.

It wasn't; this was the ANAD launch (first issue on that list is from 10/15). McNiven was already no longer on the book.

But if you want sales starting from when Bendis started writing Guardians:

>>92486757
no it wasn't, Madame Hydra was the one who brainwashed Wanda. Vision had nothing to do with it.

>>92486844

10/14 Guardians v3 #20 - 61,072 ( 9.3%)

04/15 Guardians v3 #26 - 54,124 (-12.4%)
05/15 Guardians v3 #27 - 49,308 (- 8.9%)

And that's where it ended because of Secret Wars, then eventually relaunched for ANAD as seen in >>92486602

No. Like 80% of the stories are just rehashes of a previous story he did, he doesn't respect the works of other writers, and for whatever reason editorial gave up on keeping his shit in check.
He had a couple good ideas and he's been coasting off of them for around a decade.

But things started to take a turn around Ultimatum. USM felt like it was losing direction. Bagely left on art. Plot lines were left ignored. And with the post Ultimatum time skip, I was left with a status quo I didn't recognize anymore.

The final nail in the coffin for me was killing Ultimate Peter and replacing him with Miles. At that point, all Bendis' writing flaws starting becoming more and more blatant to me. Then he turned Ultimate Reed Richards into a mustache twirling villain and I was just done.

>>92492326
was he wrong

>>92494720
It's not pretty inside his lolsorandumb mind, is it

Say it with me, /co/:

Editor-in-Chief Bendis

>>92499245
Leave.

>>92499651
There's literally no one else left to promote into the position. It's detestable but he has nowhere else to go.

>>92499752
And when he's editor he won't be writing any crappie books anymore

>>92499834
never stopped defalco

He was the coolest writer in the world for me when I was a kid and read first arcs of Ultimate Spider-Man.
Then somewhere around the Venom arc I realized that he just keeps padding stories.
Later I also realized that he has no grand plan and just makes shit up on the fly with no foreshadowing or at times even bothering to remember his own shit.
By the time of Ultimatum I hated him with a passion for being boring and wasting good ideas.

Quite surprised the copy pasta Bendis has not been posted (yet?)

>>92501163
I haven't seen that posted in months.

False. He could always go.

>>92487667
>Bendis like Quesada snuck into Marvel's writing through the art door, believe it or not.

Quesada I can believe, Bendis...

>>92483036

He's... erratic.

As an Iron Fan: Riri COULD have worked. She doesn't. That's all.

>>92486602

>"Let's have him write Iron Man's own magazine!"

>>92486711
>Madame Hydra is butt-buddies with Chthon

If that is true, the entire premise of 'Secret Empire' is pointless. Chthon in the game means the potential extinction of all life on Earth.

But I guess that's just a McGuffin, because who cares about the background of these characters...

>07/13 Guardians v3 #5 - 110,372 ( +54.2%)

What's that peak?

>>92503116
>>92487667
He didn't neccesarily get in because of his art. He was already getting some acclaim for his crime comics like Jinx and Torso and Sam and Twitch. Quesada recommended him to Jemas when Jemas needed a writer for USM.

>>92503338
It was Angela's first full appearance in the Marvel Universe, and was solicited as being co-written by Neil Gaiman.

Of course, it turned out NOT to be co-written by Gaiman (he was just consultant).

>>92492567
>completely ignore AI Tony in Secret Empire #2

...Nnno? He wasn't?

I'm not saying it's all that good, but he was in SE2.

>>92503361
>It was Angela's first full appearance in the Marvel Universe

Ah, of course.

Another thing that turned out to be fucking nothing.

For that matter, where IS Angela anyway?

he makes the best waifus but can't write them for shit

>>92488371
Also two nerds in YouTube talking about it here

https://youtu.be/47kgmXmd2Js

At least there's proof that it existed.

>>92499752
Bendis said he had no plans to leave his writer position at Marvel, plus he's a millionaire so he can afford dicking around.

He's going to be at Marvel until he died or at least Quesada and Alonso fuck off and a new EiC from and creative director come in and fire him.

>>92503635
>no plans to leave his writer position at Marvel
Fuck that. They should fire him.

>>92483036
>Is Bendis hate just a fad? A trend?
No. It's real and greatly justified. His damage outweighs his contributions.

>>92485700
Really? You think that what Bendis did to Mattie Franklin is ok? Alias was readable, but it wasn't good. Purple Man sucked, hard. Even the show did better.

>>92486615
Why hasn't Vision been destroyed yet? Seems to me this rusty piece of junk hasn't done anything good in over a decade.

>>92486297

In creative Limbo ever since he's pissed SJWs off by having her break up with her girlfirned. Even though it was heavily implied that something bad's happened to said gf.

>>92505395
nope

>>92483036

No fuck Bendis. He raped alot of different characters and franchises. He never should have left street level.

>>92483905

What is weird is he seems to be good at his smaller level shit. Jumping between characters stories and groups is fucking murder with him though. He gives no fucks about what happened before or after him. He does what he wants and completely ignores conflicts. Also his resolutions are a let down.

>>92484929
I keep expecting him to resurrect himself through the 4th wall against the writers wishes.

>>92483036
What fucking talent? Reading his books is as entertaining as watching paint dry.

>>92485111
This, I detect absolutely no passion from any of his recent work, he just goes through the motions and phones every issue in. Most of his books feel like a car that's spinning its wheels in the air, movement occurs but no progress is made.

>>92505273
>Purple Man sucked, hard. Even the show did better.

Bravo.

That's not a message. You'd have to be a retard to think it is one.

Why was the publisher doing talent hunts, that's the EiC's job.

>>92503635

The dude has been made aware that television and film doesn't want him, DC wouldn't touch him and that basically leaves Marvel and Image.

>plus he's a millionaire so he can afford dicking around
It's never been a choice for him. His understanding of writing is on par with your average webcomic creator's, unmentored and unedited.

Seriously the annual writer retreats must be fucking murder to attend with Bendis and Slott at the table.

>>92505709

>Powers and Daredevil are the only good comics he's ever done

It's been said before and it bears repeating: when you enclose a comic book writer inside boundaries they do some of their best work; when you tell them "the sky's the limit" their weaknesses come to the fore pretty quickly (unless they're disciplined). Ennis is the poster boy for this rule.

>>92507594
Ennis had good editors overseeing his work for much of his career.

>people being lenient to bendis ITT

FUCKING STOP.

Marvel isn't at a place right now where their staff have the luxury of having devil's advocates. You have to be as closed-minded as possible with people like Bendis, or else he and his illiterate weasel kind will never go away.

DO NOT give him leniency of any kind
DO NOT "well maybe" anything he produces
DO NOT give him any benefit of the doubt

The only way to treat writers like Bendis and Slott is to regard them as shit until they prove otherwise. You know they'll exploit any semblance of doubt about their supposed lack of talent to make them seem legit. DO NOT LET THEM DO THAT.

BENDIS IS SHIT AND WILL ALWAYS BE SHIT.

Nope.

>>92505273
To be fair Purple Man always sucked. It's not the flaw with Bendis. It's the flaw with the character being a complete joke and lacking the charm that makes many villains who can be considered jokes (Rhino for instance) enjoyable.
Even on that show he was a dumb annoying baby rather than a credible villain.
Purple Man is one of Marvel villains who's genuinely lame. Not even "so bad it's good" kind of lame like Stilt-Man or Hypno Hustler.
Why someone didn't permanently (I know he died before. Keyword is permanently) murder Purple Man like it happened to many other shitty Z-listers is beyond me.

>>92499245
I doubt it, unless Marvel moves to the west coast just like DC. More likely he'll get into a teaching position instead.

>>92507305
Bendis knew a friend who was working at Marvel who knew Quesada, nepotism kicked in.

>>92507305
Because the Ultimate line was Jemas' brainchild and he wanted writers for it. Supposedly Harras (who was EIC at the time) suggested Fabian Nicieza and Howard Mackie while Quesada suggested Bendis and Millar.

Bendis is good with a clean slate. But when he has control over 616 continuity it's a total disaster. Bendis made Bobby gay and now he's still gay. Bendis should not have the power to do stuff like that. I am excited about Defenders though.

>>92488732
Good ol NickS was a sperg and nobody liked him

>>92507305
>Why was the publisher doing talent hunts, that's the EiC's job.

Jemas was very hands on during his reign at Marvel. For example most of the first issues of USM were based on plot outlines from Jemas. And each issue of Morrison's X-Men had to pass through him with a list of his recommended edits (which is apparently one of the reasons Morrison quit the book). And of course there is the infamous Marville (written by Jemas).

>>92510489
Jemas' tenure was great.

>>92485108
Are you talking about, like, a developed talent adapted to a specific task?

>>92486397
hurf hurf degrees mean nothing, don't go to college, kids

Get bent.

>>92510563
I liked his "fuck events, we're not doing those" policy but didn't care so much for his "every comic needs to be written as if it were restricted by a movie budget" policy. "If you're epic all the time, then the epic becomes mundane" is a good mantra for writers, but he went too far.

>>92489372
Bendis did get an honorary doctorate though.

>>92510103
>Nicieza
Good idea.
>Mackie
God-fucking-awful idea.
I'm glad Jemas got his way.

Who's got that character list that Bendis killed?

>>92511073
So did Shill Nye.
