Outline of the ENTIRE monologuing through TEN FUCKING ISSUES of Secret Empire
1. we were winning and we were not expecting defeat
2. but boy were we wrong and hit us so hard
3. we were at our lowest, lots of infighting and seeing the worst in the world
4. but we rose again to our potential for one last battle against evil
Go back to 1 through 4 again in an endless cycle

The writing is so fucking lazy . Especially since we can see how everything is going on from the art and dialogue. The narration is mostly useless. Plus It could be so much more interesting. Have Nazi Cap narrate how he is dictating the battle. Like the invasion of Wakanda. Maybe 'A advance line of destroyer droids burn their way through the jungle from X bordering country. Once Black Panther has committed himself and his bulk against said line, a small cloaked force will rocket in, under cover of a heavy bombardment from a helicarrier. From there X Hydra operative can use their special ability to injury the Wakanda war effort by doing Y. Then we deliver our hammer blow of our forces on the enemy force here, rupturing the enemies front lines and allowing us to roll them up'. Of course dress it up a bit more.

Bascially Think like a heist movie where they explain the plan, as it appears on screen. Or for a battle version, Tyrion explains the attack on Casterly Rock, where it shows how a frontal assault would fail, but then how the hidden passage allows them to open the gates and take the defenders in the rear.

Then do that for the other battle scenes. Black Widow attack would utilize each of the Champions to allow her to get close enough to get a shot. Then a interrupt narration in a different color. Punisher War Journal entry Whatever number. "There are only so many positions a sniper can take in any given situation to ensure a safe position that allows a proper line of fire and won't be noticed. With warning, preparations can be taken against those limited positions". Then boom the whole area is covered in thick gas to ruin the sight lines. Or Blackwidow is suppressed by Frank's sniping. Or artillery fire drops on her. Just something more better then what we got.

Of course not every fight scene needs it. But then those fights, don't need narration. Just show the fight through the art we see and the dialogue.
>>
>>94849873
Because that continues the early issues things. The main reason why I had some hope for this event is Hydra Cap thinking out how to neutralize his opponents. They weren't all the best plans but on the whole, the trap a bunch beyond earth, a bunch in the highest hero density area and then take apart SHEILD from the inside by splitting it over a few fronts was solid enough. But that doesn't go anywhere. Instead there is a decent Pym!Ultron issue and a bunch of tedious narration back and forth in the rest of the issues gushing over characters I don't really give a hoot about.
>>
>>94849860
Only in the present tense. In the future, it doesn't matter what actually happened because all that exists is their reality and the past is merely speculation
>>
>>94848824
So what the hell happened to USAgent? He showed up in Sam Wilson's book, with the implication that he'd be important later on, then they said he was MIA in a mission, implying Steve had either captured or killed him, and now he's here with no explanation?
>>
>>94848872
>That rack on Wanda

>>94849897
Pymtron really was the highlight of this event.
>>
>>94848779
NOW he appears. Eh, Pete is always irrelevant in events, anyway (all kudos are to Miles now).
>>
>>94849989

>The narration is mostly useless.
The purpose of the narration is clear when you accept the notion that Spencer is writing this event as a metaphor for Drumpf's administration and "white nationalism." Everything makes more sense because that was clearly Spencer's and Marvel's intent from the start.

Instead of Hydra being an ISIS analog like they were Nazi analogs and communist analogs in the past, now Hydra represents our own current government. Spencer's words are meant to ring true to lefties who feel like they want to see a victory against fascism, as if our government is in any way fascist in reality. To lefties, it is.

Doesn't the entire event count as a Trump reference?
>>
>>94849643
Please. Journalists have actually convinced grown assed men and woman that Nazis are fucking beating down their doors, about to come into their houses and steal their children.

Instead, of you, know, there being a hundred people rioting against thousands leading to one idiot driving his car into a crowd.

Three children under the age of ten were murdered in their home in Maryland this week. It got a paragraph in the Washington Post. Right under it was a two fucking page story about a god damned idiot cop flying a helicopter over the whole Cville debacle who heroically crashed his chopper and died because he was a fucking moron.

Nobody cares about the truth TODAY, let alone ten years for now.

Spencer should've had the confidence in his pitch to not even mention it, like Brubaker did. Instead we're focused on if Sam's worthy of the mantle he's borrowing because the comic never shuts up about it.

I don't hate Spencer's writing but when it comes to super powered fights, he is even worse than Benis. It's just people throwing random punches or energy blasts.

Why does this entire event read like a rushed recap?

>>94851202
An old problem Thor used to have to deal with originally was that if his hammer was caught or stopped before it came back to him he'd revert to Donald Blake. I'm assuming that she was randomly banished to some timeless dimension since logistically with the latest retcons to the hammer it would be able to fly to her across dimensions to break her out if you sent her to a regular dimension.

Null fields in the past basically cancel energy over a certain threshold. Including but not limited to kinetic. So a punch, even a super-strong one, gets nulled into a gentle nudge. Riri and Viv can't amp up enough energy to do anything other than sit around.

What bothers me is that this read like in "in the previous episode..." or like a wikipedia summary. No, better yet, a book for kids where you have a big image showing you a panorama of whats happening and then the actual stuff written in a paragraph below

'We fought and fell..." uhhh...so where is the fight? Why are you telling me what happened instead of showing me? Secret wars was also like this. It jumps and skips shit and then tells you how great the stuff you missed was.

In Metal 1, DC managed to cram a lot more of stuff than practically this whole event, and they show you the stuff. It doesnt happen offscreen.

This issue and the last really are "Hydra starts losing because we're getting to the end of the event and they have to start losing" rather than the heroes earning the win, aren't they?

Also, aren't the majority of the population supposed to feel safer, and happier under Hydra? And a lot more jobs created under Hydra?

I get the trashing Steve part, but the way he writes Falcon seems to not be one that wants him to look cool. Like every important thing he does fails and someone else fixes it, his speeches tend to fall relatively flat, and others just use him for a symbol instead of being one. Hell, in this event alone his character arc is:
>Travel with refugees across the border, given up on trying to be Captain America while other people such as the Tony Stark A.I. go around to actually solving problems and planning.
>Get convinced to reappear as Captain America mostly to convince people things are going to change to pre-Hydra.
>Continue being a supporting role for removing the shield to get the powerful space guys in, get shot out of the sky and saved by Cosmic Cube.
>Be on the battlefield but in no way show any amount of tactics on his behalf, just part of the punch things brigade.

Actually, Hydra Steve seems to come off more effective with his limitations being either existing friendships, or in this issue rushing the plan near the end goal which has potential of setting up more enemies at once.

I've really liked this event so far, but man this issue sucked.

For an event that has spent so much time criticizing "Hero vs Hero" shit in the MU, it sure does have a lot of Hero vs Hero.

And of course it ends with just an army of heroes fighting Cap in a MacGuffin powered robot suit. Fucking stupid Hollywood movie shit.

Steve wasn't trashed at all. Everything he did up until the actual event was antihero stuff at best. He was still depicted as noble and dedicated to a cause he believed in for the good of the world. He even specifically removes the Nazi element of Hydra.

We're never going to get a "Wanda saves herself" story out of this.

Best case scenario is Brother Voodoo has to save her again. Worst case scenario is Wonderman saves her with the Power of Love. Either way, there's a very real chance of Wanda being a Chthon-possessed villain for some length of time after this event ends.

That isn't the public's fault necessarily. Well, not entirely. The media that once reported the news are now merely an entertainment industry. Their job is to scare the public, sow fear and mistrust and watch those delicious (You)s roll in. The media has become a shell of its former self in order to maximize profits. You can blame the masses for tuning in and clicking their web links for that. But that doesn't necessarily mean that people don't WANT the truth. It only means that controversy sells more.

>>
>>94859773

So AvX and Secret Wars were genuine hits, Civil War 2 and Infinity didn't start as strong, and had a sales drop over the course of the series, but both could still be considered a hit.

Fear Itself, Age of Ultron, Original Sin, Axis, and Secret Empire could all be considered sales flops as events, but the month-to-month sales drops aren't terrible. Secret Empire is doing better than Axis.

>Remember how long Fear Itself went on for, and how many tie-in books there were, now see how badly it sold for an event.
>>
>>94859966

>>
>>94859773
The drop off from Secret Wars to Civil War II to Secret Empire has to be a little troubling for Marvel.

I'm not sure they have much of a strategy beyond summer events and 1,000s of variants.
>>
>>94860006

Also remember that in 2014, Marvel had THREE events; Age of Ultron, Original Sin, and Axis. And nobody seems to defend any of them, only the Carnage and Hobgoblin miniseries for Axis.

If 'event fatigue' is a real thing, it would explain why Axis bombed.

>It's the return of Onslaught and Apocalypse.
>It's actually the Red Skull dressed as Onslaught.
>It's actually the teenaged clone of Apocalypse, evil and on steroids.

You have to wonder if it would have sold better, especially to X-fans, if they'd brought those two major villains back for real.

And also to Human Beast, Grey Beast, 1980s Retarded Beast, and that goat-looking Beast from S.W.O.R.D.

He could drink a different mutation potion for which form he wants to mutate into. And if tries to stay in that form too long, and doesn't change back to normal, he risks turning into a hypocritical sociopath who wants to break the timeline.

All the better ones have been face turned or at least become tweeners like Taskmaster.

Other villains have lost their equity as snarky writers treat them like jokes because they are too 'comic booky' like this example here.
>>
>>94864918
Because if you consistently lose, you become less threatening. The reason why some villains are seen as menacing are because of their personality instead of their abilities primarily, such as Red Skull. Or you could pull an Ultron and rarely use the villain and make it important when they do.

So how much would everyone shit themselves if the Cosmic Cube brings back Scott Summers to finish of Hydra Cap?

I haven't been keeping up with this.
What happened to 1940 Steve that appeared out nowhere and was it explained who or what he is.

It's impossible for any canon character to be a "Mary Sue" -- the fucking stories are about them. They aren't interlopers from outside the franchise. When directed at a canon character, "Mary Sue" is nothing but shorthand for "Character I Don't Like".

Just say that: "Character I Don't Like". See how that works? Isn't it liberating to tell the truth for once?

D&D Bull monster as inspiration maybe? Or else they got if from the same medieval Bestiary Gygax got his from.

Wasn't he supposed to still be butthurt because of those stranger aliens that were killed because of him?

Canon characters can most certainly be Mary Sues. It's not about canon or non-canon. It's about the characters and how they behave and interact with their world. Characters who are universally loved and validated, who present no flaws and barely experience conflict or struggle.

That said, Batman is not a Mary Sue. He may be loved by the masses in the real world, but he's a dick in his own world, often pushing others away emotionally. He may be physically perfect with genius intellect, but he's still psychologically flawed as a human being.

Compare this with fuckng Riri Williams and her "YAY ME!" attitude, constantly validated by herself and her peers, constantly on the winning side, and constantly shown to be mentally deficient while also getting rewarded for it.

Agents of SHIELD did the Hydraverse/Framework plot in like 3 episodes, why has Hydra Cap/Secret Empire comparatively taken so long to finish?

>Carol and Kamala
>friends

>>94858488
Most Marvel writers think of Wanda as the crazy bitch who killed the mutants, just as Hank Pym is perceived as a wife beater.

>>94867902
>Hydraverse/Framework

It was a third of their season. It was intentionally set up that way - 22 episodes in a season, so way more than 3 dude.

Riri behaves like a villain yet is treated as a hero.
>>
>>94868330

Just like Tony Stark.
>>
>>94868466
no one treats Tony like a hero

I'm actually quite enjoying myself. Like...wtf?

Ha. Great posts.

>>94864918
only certain characters should ever bring up another characters "Class" It's such a bitch move and only ever sets up two types of outcomes either "Hey check out this loser he's so goofy" or "Hey check out this guy i thought was a loser be a threat for a little bit"

>and opt to not fucking kill them even though both Sharron Carter and Black Panther have made mountains of corpses

If one had no idea who these people are, one would think that Black Panther is very clearly a villain here.

Secret Invasion 2 when?
>>
>>94869085
It doesn't even make sense from an in-universe perpsective for people to use these terms. Just because a character isn't well-known in the real world or in-universe doesn't mean he's weaker than more well-known characters or a "loser". Like, I'm pretty sure that the Serpent Society are more dangerous than plenty of "A-List" villains.

It's not just the writers, it's Marvel editorial as well.
>>
>>94869162
Not even Wanda being important in the MCU has been enough to make editorial not ignore and shit on her.

>no one treats Tony like a hero

Except, He is a fucking hero. I could explain why most civilians like RIRI. It is pretty much a PR thing.
