Brian Bendis Illuminates The Illuminati

[gildea]

That Carnage part in the 1st post annoys me. Not the stupidness of the question, but how Bendis writes it off without giving him an actual answer.

That guy didn't deserve an answer. He insults bendis in his first sentence then goes on a moronic fanboy rant that culmanates in nothing of interest or importance.

Bendis could have been a lot crueler.

I agree, the Carnage "question" wasn't really a question, just a rant from the interviewer. I still think Bendis comes off like an incomparable *****ebag and just flat out refuses to address questions on a lot of issues, but the Carnage thing was unnecessary.

according to marvel, one of the new warriors survives the blast and is incarcerated for provoking the accident in the first place. im guessing its speedball.

The last page of last week's Amazing Spider-Man issue confirmed that it is Speedball who survives. There's a news report on TV and they say something to the effect of "a disaster has occurred in Stamford, Connecticut... we're getting word that the blame is being placed on an individual named Speedball... who or what is Speedball?"

Can't say i really seen too many "issues" just fans whining about how things fit in.

Where is the inginuity that brought about the no-prize where fans would work it out themselves???

We've gotten lazy and *****ier.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe, but it's ultimately the writer and editor's responsibility to make sure things fit in some cohesive way, otherwise the whole comic universe falls into disorganization.

 

[MajinShenron]

Good interview overall. I didnt like his Carnage answer though.

Bendis is a great writer and this one shot was testament to that.I think it's about time Marvel got real and finally established the fact that after all of Hulk's rampages there HAD TO have been casualties.There is no way that nobody was ever hurt or killed whenever Hulk was involved in a slober knocker in downtown NYC.Millar showed this in Ultimates with that church ceremony scene.I think's it's about time that somebody established that in the MU.

Ummm no, keep Ultimate and 616 separate.

 

[Darthphere]

I always assumed the Hulk killed people (accidently). Why else would people be afraid of him?

Because hes a ****ing huge green monster?

 

[GNR]

Ummm no, keep Ultimate and 616 separate.

I didn't mention bringing it together,I just meant that it's time someone finally admitted that Hulk has killed many people over the years during battles and rampages.

I'd go so far as to say that he knows what you NEED better than you do.

Comics fans need to get out of their asses and get ready for CHANGE. This whole "We like our stagnant comic characters, weee" mentality is genuinely starting too annoy me.

No, change is good. Change is great.

Shilling is not.

I'm personally a fan of series that have a definitive beginning and end and have stories that flow and make sense and if you look back go "oh yeah, now I see."

Not someone that pulls out stupid moves with insepid writing for shock value and to "break the internet in half."

And no matter where I sit, a jackass is still a jackass in my opinion. Bill Gates can still come across as a jackass to me (not saying he does but...) even though he's got more money than God.

There are great writers out there...Brian Bendis is not one of them.

You probably shouldn't be reading marvel superhero comics then.

Why, its been said hundreds of times in the books he hasnt killed anyone. We should change that now because Bendis doesnt like it, or it doesnt make sense to you? Lots of things dont make sense in comics but it wouldnt be that incredibly ridiculous that hes never killed someone. Injured, severly injured sure, but why is it necessary to have the Hulk be a killer? And is it really the Hulks fault in the first place since most of the time hes provoked.

There is already a thread about the hulk killing....

Ok.

 

[gildea]

Ok.

lol one of those moments where i typed directly what passed through my head then 2 minutes later wondered why the hell i typed it.

Ignore me i think i've gone soft in the head.



"THIS JUST IN, READING BENDIS COMICS TURNS MAN INTO PEDANTIC IDIOT"

Youre no idiot my friend.

Thing is, I don't like that it's canon that Captain America never killed anyone during WWII. It makes no sense to me that a special-ops super-soldier in the greatest war the world had ever seen would never be ordered to assassinate anyone.

But you know what? There's nothing I can do. It's canon. It's been stated several times in the past. So if I was a writer at Marvel, I'd have enough common sense to know not the F with continuity because it doesn't suit me. It pisses fans off.

 

[The Watchman]

Q: BMB, mah man, I was wondering how Civil War would be dealing with the heroes loss of autonomy, in that, if the act comes to fruition, will heroes lose their motivation to actually be heroes?

BB: Ask me at the end of the summer.

I finally got a question in and he gave me the run around

 

[Wolverazio]

Yeah because there aren't any good Marvel stories out now or in the relative past that respect what's come before while changing it.

Young Avengers
New X-Men (under Morrison)
Wolverine (the double sized issue was a great Wolverine story IMO)
Astonishing X-Men
Son of M
She-Hulk
Captain America
Hell, even Deadly Genesis depending on who you ask

Yup, I guess since Bendis is a poor writer, all of Marvel should be written off.

Yup.

Though, Brubaker I think gave as close as a good explanation as you can get. Capt. was the poster boy so he wasn't "allowed" to kill, while Bucky f'ed the Nazis up.

Again, not the most logical...but not just blatantly disregarding continuity for his own sake.

Then you clearly havent read an issue of Daredevil, Powers or Alias.

Is it really, I thought it was established Captain America did kill, you know with Bucky slitting people's throats and such.

Then you clearly.....damn i got nothing.

The way I hear it, Captain America didn't kill anyone because Bucky did all of the dirty work when he wasn't looking.

I dont think its exactly like that.

 

[Anubis]

no they never said Cap didn't kill during the war. They just said Bucky did the dirty work. I mean, he killed like two people in the first issue! Somebody done lied to you my friend.

 

[Wolverazio]

Read Powers, bored me/didn't like it.

Haven't read Daredevil or Alias but Daredevil is being avoided just b/c I have no interest in Daredevil, nothing against Bendis there.

As far as Capt:
My bad, Capt did kill but it was still rarer than Bucky (who did more of the Black Ops type stuff). But Capt knew about it, he just "couldn't" do it.
