Does the Sentry suck?

[Colossal Spoons]

Hawkeye is going to pay for his nativity

 

[kainedamo]

I still don't buy him taking out Reed with preptime.

He's taken Reed out before when he was far less powerful so, that was really no big deal for him.

 

[Dread]

Hawkeye was badass in SI #2.

But as Ronin. That automatically diminishes it.

Like if Superman beat the piss out of every villain in the DCU, but in Lois' dress. Because that is all Ronin is. Echo's spare dress. Least to me.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Dude, it's been like a year. Everyone's over it except you. Plus, he took the stupid Ronin mask off, at least.

 

[Raiden]

Crap I voted no when I should have voted yes

I never really find out who Sentry really is or is about, but I feel that he's a character who has potentials but got mishandled by Marvel's writing team. I'm sure if Marvel has given him better writings, he'd be one of the best Marvel superheroes out there.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He was pretty compelling under Jenkins' pen in his first mini-series. But it seems that anyone who tries to milk that cow for anything more comes up with crap.

 

[kainedamo]

Yeah.

I think Pak really should have used Thor as the final opponent in WWH.

 

[Doomed_hero]

In his mini series that came out after he joined the Avengers, he came off as a really intresting character, but the more I read him in other books they have really dropped the ball with him.

True. But the problem with SI is any enjoyment is negated by waiting for a shoe to drop. Especially with 8 chapters.

So, you think Ronin is as cool as the Hawkeye persona?

I still probably will never bother with that. Haven't come across it in a library, which is about the only way I'd ever want to give it a try, for free.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No, I think Clint Barton is both Ronin and Hawkeye, and he's cool under either name. When Bendis isn't writing him as a whiny ***** who's married to the background of every goddamn scene, anyway.

Yeah.

I think Pak really should have used Thor as the final opponent in WWH.

I certainly don't. Thor was fresh out of the grave at that point, and the last thing he needed was to rack up a loss to the Hulk before he even had the chance to re-establish himself.

They could have, y'know, had Thor WIN.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Bah, he took up the mantel, and with all the crap controversy and hard feelings that come with it, and he's made it work so far.

He's made it his own thus far so until he 'finds himself' again, I'm cool with it.

.......

And Sentry doesn't suck.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

They could have, y'know, had Thor WIN.

In a comic called World War Hulk? After the Hulk blasted through Black Bolt and Doctor Strange, both of whom he's got a worse win/loss record against than he has against Thor in the first place? Yeah, I don't think so.

Both Skrulls.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm thinking the former is a Skrull and the latter is being ****ed with by Skrulls, myself.

I know. It is a shame that if they wanted to have Hulk win some of those, they couldn't come up with better reasons beyond, "Uh, Hulk gets madder?" Because that's internet debate logic.

Like how Wolverine fanboys feel he can "smell" every attack coming from any direction or opponent sometimes.

 

[kainedamo]

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Heh, Thor smothered Storm by making out with her in that. I loved that bit.

I will say that the upcoming red Hulk fight has me both excited and filled to the brim with dread.

I don't read that book.

Has Loeb gotten any less sucky in the writing?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know, I dropped it after the first issue. I'm picking #5 up solely for Thor.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Come on Kain! That was Hulk and Reed by himself in a box. Who IS going to beat the Hulk in those conditions?

My argument was Reed with preptime and that includes the rest of the Fantastic Four.


See above.

 

[kainedamo]

I don't read that book.

Has Loeb gotten any less sucky in the writing?

Considering the entire premise of the book is that there is a red coloured Hulk running around...

 

[herakles]

Yeah.

I think Pak really should have used Thor as the final opponent in WWH.

NO because hulk fanboy Pak would have had Thor lose! WWH was basically a Hulk fanboy wetdream! the ONLY good thing that came from WWH was that Herc got his own series!!

 

[Darthphere]

I don't read that book.

It doesn't need good writing, it's an action book.
