It leaves a sour taste in my mouth...

I don't think a creation will ever truly die. They will just run out of stories to appear in, if anything. For instance, Peter Parker could be killed, but that doesn't mean another everyman can't take up the webs and swing. Get my gist?

 

Alpha Flight isn't dead.

 

Yeah. If you need to have a death, don't force it. Killing off characters because that;s the way the story just progressed, that's fine. But doing it just to do it is bull.

 

From what I understand, the Alpha Flight that died were from the past. And, in Marvel, if something changes the past so drastically or in a manner that it would possibly damage the fabric of reality, the universe just creates a copy of itself where those events happened and keeps the regular timeline the same to protect itself.

 

If killing them off wouldn't actually kill them off, they're expendible. The point of that scene was to say "Holy ****, that guy is powerful. We're ****ed."

 

To me comic deaths have little impact now.

At some point in time they WILL return.

Although I do admit to being gutted when Lady Jaye was murdered in GI JOE because when a 'Joe dies they tend to stay dead.

 

Death is a part of life. As long as it's not a cop-out death, IDGAFF. But, as pointed out, at Marvel death only means a vacation.

 

...................................................... sarcasm,right?

 

Nope. That's how Marvel time travel works.

 

It does indeed suck....>The only characters that stay dead suck.


But at the same time would you rather have them come back or have copies keep taking thier place?

 

Only time I ever hate it when peope die in comics is when someone kills them because they don't like them. Not to move the story or anything but just because they hate everything about them.

 

So...They don't want to write them and they aren't clever enough to write them out of the book so they start their run off with a "shocking" death

 

Look, everyone noting the fact that Alpha Flight isn't dead should be winning no-prizes, but that's probably not what the Marvel executives had in mind. They're probably just gonna let half of them survive or something.

 

That or use them as cannon fodder for some super strong bad guy they could have beat with ease.

 

Well Guardian and Puck and Maybe Sasquatch are all in the Civil War Poster.\

And After CivilWar Millar is launching a New Alpha Flight Series.

I just hope that Guardian, Sasquatch, Puck, Puck 2, Yukon Jack and Major Mapleleaf all lived.

 

Listen, guys being a super hero is a dangerous job. Sooner or later your ticket will be punched. Even Superman died...once at least

 

There were two Alpha Flights running around. This past one that was brought back in New Alpha Flight was the one that got killed.

 

My guess is, because of Speedball's powers, he got blasted FAR away. My guess is he is in some other country(got there from the blast), or maybe in hiding. He'll reappear, get arrested, and be sent to prison.

 

death should be a major event for a hero...like Captain Marvel's
it shouldnt be used is a writer doesnt like a character or doesnt have ideas for the character

 

exactly. What if a writer had an idea for one of the character then he's killed off by some ass who doesn't understand him and see's no use for him. I just wanna know was there a Consensus that they should have died? or was it the Writers decision?
