Comics I think they should bring back Ben Reilly and Kaine

Th' guy who ran th' tests faked th' results as a request of Gaunt as a request of Norman.

An' don't mind Ock, he's just bitter 'cause they killed off his favorite villain and he didn't like it too much.

Okay I just read Alpha and it said in it Pete and Ben ran tests that said who was who. What happend to that theroy.:confused: Did Marvel just pretend that didn't happen? I also read in it there was a clone called Spidercide,couldn't they just say that the "Ben" who died was really a clone with Spidercide's morphing ability? I think that degeneration/ash theory is stupid. Who thaought of that ppffff:mad:

Read the Osborn Journal One Shot, and you'll realize why the tests said that.

EIC Bob Harras thought it up, those writing the conclusion to Revelation told him that degeneration doesn't work that way but he said "in the case it does" Not sure if you've read the Life of Reilly yet its got a lot of interesting info about the Saga and what was going on in the background.

id love for them to bring both these two back, if i did it for ben i would say the ben that was killed was just another clone that was under orders from osborn, the clone sacrificed himself and bam during this ben reilly was knocked out and cryoed by osborn

I just knew that out of the few clone saga fan boys we have here,YOU would be the one to pipe up and make that stupid remark.

Pay careful attention now:

1.I'm not bitter over anything.I didn't like that Ock died in that saga yes.But I'm not bitter about it.And here's why.......
2.Ock's death was retconned.What's to be bitter about?? He's alive and kicking,and larger than life.

Now I know you just can't handle the fact that people just didn't genuinely like the clone saga,because I've seen you going around spouting your ignorant BS like "Everyone knows Ben Reilly is the best Spider-Man,even though they won't admit it".

Love the way you speak for everyone.You know what we like and what we're bitter about :rolleyes:

I think the clone saga SUCKED.Deal with it and move on.It should make no difference to you what people think about it.So don't go around dictating how we feel about things,just to make yourself feel better.You don't speak for everyone else,and you certainly don't speak for me.

Capeesh?? :)

P.S. If the only way you can respond to this is with petty insults,then don't even try it.Herr Logan might have humoured your trolling ways in the other thread,but I won't.
 
Sheesh, people can't take a joke. An' I believe you called me a troll when I've done nuttin' of th' kind, so if I was to respond with an insult it would be justified.

And I wouldn't gloat so much about Ock bein' back. Ninja resurrection? Matrix redesign? SUCTION CUPS on th' tenticles? Think he was better off dead. He was at least cooler before then.
 
Oh, and PS...Herr Logan is th' kinda ******* I'd punch in th' face should we ever be in th' same room. I have no quarrel with you, despite yer pitiful taste in comics. :p

Oh it was a joke now?? Sure ok,it's always a joke when they get called on it.

An' I believe you called me a troll when I've done nuttin' of th' kind, so if I was to respond with an insult it would be justified

You went into that JMS thread and insulted Herr Logan for posting a dictionary definition of a word he used to back up the debate he was having with someone.

That is trolling.And you continued on doing it,calling him all sorts of various names.

And I wouldn't gloat so much about Ock bein' back. Ninja resurrection? Matrix redesign? SUCTION CUPS on th' tenticles? Think he was better off dead. He was at least cooler before then.

Now look who's bitter.

I'm going to gloat alright.Just because you don't like Ramos version of him doesn't mean everyone does.I mean you're consistently praising a saga that many Spidey fans consider one of the worst periods in the Spidey comics.So if you want to try and rip on a temporary artist's rendition of Ock,then go for it.Not that I personally have a problem with Ramos style of Ock.

Btw you can bet you clone saga fan boys would eagerly accept a little ninja ressurrection if it meant getting your clone boys back :D

Oh, and PS...Herr Logan is th' kinda ******* I'd punch in th' face should we ever be in th' same room

Yeah yeah big man flexing his 'muscles' on the internet.Wow I'm impressed :rolleyes:

I have no quarrel with you, despite yer pitiful taste in comics. :p

My pitiful taste in comics?? Yeah I'm not the guy clinging onto the ghost of a character long gone and forgotten by most people :p
 
Yes, that time was a joke. When have you known me to back down from a fight, as you so nicely pointed out there? If it wasn't a joke I'd own right up to it, but it was a joke an' that's why I said it was. I don't need to lie to a buncha faceless mopes that I'll never meet. Call me on whatever th' hell ya want, hopefully I'm of th' mind to give an adequate response when ya do.

No, I wouldn't praise a ninja resurrection 'cause they're lame and lack imagination. I WOULD praise a creative resurrection scenario. But, since current Marvel lacks said creative talent I'm not even thinkin' about it now. Wanna read some good ideas? Head into our Ben thread an' go back a few pages. Some fan scenarios in there that would rock.

And you actually LIKE th' redesign? I thought it was a lame an' cheesy move outta th' 70s. I mean, he's CALLED Doc Ock because after th' accident he had 8 limbs. His limbs were designed to aid in his science, meanin' they should bear no real resemblance to octopus tentacles. But, they suddenly decided "Oh, he's Doc Ock, so let's give him the full nines!" To me, that was unecessary. And sorry, but th' goth/emo look don't fit th' character. I actually liked when he was in a business suit. Made more sense than spandex an' a helluva lot more than this.

And FYI, this ":p" is a tongue smilie whatever, which meant that bit was a JOKE too. Too lazy to go advanced an' pull th' thing up and I can never remember th' codin' fer this board as every other board a :p would automatically convert.

I give as good as I get, bunky. People like Herr need to get taken down a peg or two here an' there. Just 'cause yer on th' web where ya can't face no reprocussions fer bein' a dick don't mean you have free license to be one. Oh, and FYI, all I said to him initially was he needed to get a life 'cause he was compeltely full of himself in that post. So if that's a huge insult, then I guess people gotta learn to take it if they dish it out. I treat *******s like *******s, that's how I am, that's what I do. Since they act that way then I ASSUME they must wanna be treated that way. And Herr is an admitted *******.

Like I said, I got no problem with you regarldess of what you might think. You gotta defend yer Ock like I gotta defend my Ben. Just a minor disagreement back then which I promptly got outta my mind once it was over.

Believe it or not,I don't follow your every movement.Usually you're alright in this forum.Ocasionally you can come across a bit arrogant when it comes to your opinions.

But Logan never picked a fight with you.You waded right in and insulted him first.

If it wasn't a joke I'd own right up to it, but it was a joke an' that's why I said it was. I don't need to lie to a buncha faceless mopes that I'll never meet

A word of advice.Next time you crack a 'joke',add a smiley to it.Otherwise it's just words on a screen that look like serious context.

Call me on whatever th' hell ya want, hopefully I'm of th' mind to give an adequate response when ya do

I don't call people names.Not my style.

No, I wouldn't praise a ninja resurrection 'cause they're lame and lack imagination. I WOULD praise a creative resurrection scenario. But, since current Marvel lacks said creative talent I'm not even thinkin' about it now

Then blame Marvel,not Octavius.It's not a slur on his character that that's the method they chose to ressurrect him.He didn't pick it or plan it.The Rose's cult did.

But Spidey going around wearing that eye sore of a costume,or MJ keeping dirty secrets from Peter about Gwen for years.That's a slur on their characters.

And you actually LIKE th' redesign? I thought it was a lame an' cheesy move outta th' 70s. I mean, he's CALLED Doc Ock because after th' accident he had 8 limbs.

Yeah I like his redesign.Not my favorite Ock style,but it's not the worst.And I like his classic spandex look,and the armani suit and the trenchcoat look.It's all good.

You want to talk about bad designs,go look at what Spider-Man is wearing right now.

And FYI, this ":p" is a tongue smilie whatever, which meant that bit was a JOKE too. Too lazy to go advanced an' pull th' thing up and I can never remember th' codin' fer this board as every other board a :p would automatically convert. But yer gonna precieve anythin' I do how you want so I don't care.

You didn't use any tongue smiley in your original post.

I give as good as I get, bunky. People like Herr need to get taken down a peg or two here an' there. Just 'cause yer on th' web where ya can't face no reprocussions fer bein' a dick don't mean you have free license to be one

If you find someone is being a 'dick' then report them.Don't make yourself as bad as those you're persecuting by slinging vicious insults at them.

Oh, and FYI, all I said to him initially was he needed to get a life 'cause he was compeltely full of himself in that post. So if that's a huge insult, then I guess people gotta learn to take it if they dish it out

You attacked him because he posted a dictionary link explaining a word,which helped back up a debate he was in.

What the hell is so wrong with that??

I treat *******s like *******s, that's how I am, that's what I do. Since they act that way then I ASSUME they must wanna be treated that way. And Herr is an admitted *******.

Herr was minding his own business,debating with someone else.You came along and insulted him.Herr doesn't wade in and rip into someone simply because he dislikes how they back up their arguements.

Like I said, I got no problem with you regarldess of what you might think. You gotta defend yer Ock like I gotta defend my Ben

I've got nothing to defend.Ock's popularity hasn't waned since he was introduced over 40 years ago.And I expect it'll be the same in another 40 years time.Just like Spidey.Why do you think he was ressurrected so quickly?? Fans kicked up a stink over his death.I wish Marvel were as prompt about fixing Spidey's current mess as they were with Ock's death.But then Joe Q wasn't in charge back then :)

And Ock's had some cracking stories since his ressurrection.If the only complaint is his new look,then I'm greatful.Because other characters are getting it much worse right now with characterization and design.

Just a minor disagreement back then which I promptly got outta my mind once it was over.

As I said above,the next time you crack a joke,use a smiley or two.I'm not a mind reader.Otherwise it looks like you're being completely serious.

Well... that's not strictly true. :o

If I see someone throwing infantile and erroneous arguments at their betters, I'm sorely tempted to jump in and call them on it. I just haven't done that as much in recent months. Some people call it "growth." I call it what it is-- "laziness."

But you're damn right I'd never disparage someone simply for the fact that they used real evidence to back up their argument, and when one person's argument can be utterly destroyed simply by showing them that their argument is worded incorrectly (which is the case in the "grown-up world," and whether or not policy law is fair or sensible, it owns each and every last one of you... believe it), a dictionary definition is all that's needed.

I went through the same nonsense with some gutter-trash plebeian over a year ago when he made a thread about how Wolverine is a "wimp." I definitively disproved his worthless, puerile argument simply by showing him the definition of "wimp," and he still wouldn't act like a grown-up. I argued his individual smaller arguments (how much he loses, how many arch-villains he failed to kill, etc.) as well, but I didn't need to.

He lost that argument before he even thought of posting it, whether he's man enough to admit it or not, and the same goes for anyone who thinks that Spider-Man has ever been an "everyman" before Marvel decided to strip him of his unique character traits and make him a bumbling moron. That's only in the last few years, and that doesn't reflect at all on Spider-Man's actual creative origins.

By the way, necessary or not, the defense is much appreciated, Ock. ;) :up:

:wolverine
 
Wolvie25th: "...a buncha faceless mopes."

Thanks for that...

I'm not sure what happened in the other thread you guys are talking about, but just reading through this thread alone, it did come off to me as a joke. That's how I read it anyway. It'd be like if we said Lizard (poster) didn't like the Feral storyline because Black Cat knocked him off the roof and he had to spend time recoving from it.

Though it's probably none of my business, so I'll butt out...
 
Here's my problem. I love the Green Goblin. I think he's a great arch nemesis, and I like him alive and torturing Spider-Man.

I like Aunt May. In fact, I love all of Spidey's supporting cast members. But Aunt May, MJ, and Jolly Jonah are the ones that I especially feel Peter needs.

Yet so many people here complain about their resurrections. ...and a lot of them want Ben Reilly back.

I've always thought of Ben's death as fairly close to Harry's death. Mostly in that "saving people as a last action," sad kinda way. Ben saved the lives of all of the Daily Bugle employees, and some other supporting cast that were there, stood up to Norman, beaten as he was, and jumped out and took a glider for Pete. Noble death. Touching story. Very emotional. Everything that May and Harry's were. Yet people swear up and down how May's death was "tarnished" and Harry had better stay down, having had such a beautiful death.

I mean, you see my point, right?
 
I would have a problem with Marvel bringing Ben Reilly back. I'm all for Kaine returning though. Could simply just come up with a "He's been away hiding for a long time" story for Kaine. Reilly kind of left a bad taste with a majority of the Spider-fans just cause he was meant to "replace" Peter. He's dead now though.

But like I said, I'm all for Kaine returning. He was just completely badass. I enjoyed Ben Reilly has a character but I think he's best left buried.
 
Ben should stay dead. It's just impossible to bring him back without more tired and overused plot-twists.

no it's not go to the ben reilly appreciation thread and there are a number of really great ideas you could use.

It really isn't, if anything his death was flawed seeing as thats how only the degenerative clones die (and im not even sure they went into dust) the spider skelton clone found in the smokestack proves that, so his turning into ashes made no sense unless it was another already degenerative cloen and Ben (a perfect clone) was still alive (or dead he could be dead BUT HE WOULD BE A FREAKING SKELETON NOT DUST!!!) yeah so they just need to explain that, it's not even a retcon it's just finding flaws in his badly thought out death

Shway.

And FYI, I meant way you talk in th' past sense.

Because the Clone Saga was in the past? :confused:
 
I hate the idea that these two important characters just got sweeped under the rug as if they never exsisted.

I think it has to do with my loving spider-man so much. Often times comic creators will try capitalize off a popular character by making another related version of the character usually a younger or female version.

These characters can be quite good but most are just plain lame.

Ben was different. He was Peter. In mind body and heart. He wasn't a cheap copy.

He was a mint condition replica.:)

And after all the angst and misunderstandings he developed into Peter's twin from a tube. Laughing about shared childhood memories and protecting eachother.

Unlike most clones and duplicates who whine and complain and never get over themselves.:mad:

They should bring back the Scarlet-Spider and baby May. After all she is going to need her uncle Ben.:spidey:
