Quasar??????

[sandwraith]

I really don't think thats the case. I think that Quasar was simply the only "Cosmic" character they could kill off since no writer wanted to use him, Wendell Vaughn, for the time being. I'd imagine it was something like this:

Dan Abnett: 'Morning Andy (Schmidt).

Andy: Morning Dan.

Dan: So Andy...me and Andy (Lanning) were thinking. We need to kill off a character to make Richie's character more dedicated and Annihilus more merciless and evil.

Andy: The entire Nova Corps wasn't enough?

Dan: Faceless victims don't make for great drama.

Andy: This isn't Warhammer Dan.

Dan: I need a corpse Andy.

Andy: >SIGH<...okay. What about MoonDragon?

Dan: Keith is using her.

Andy: Maxam?

Dan: Who?

Andy: Nevermind. Gladiator?

Dan: X-stuff. You need to talk to (INSERT X-EDITOR HERE)

Andy: ***king X-jerks...Pip?

Dan: We really don't need a Hobbit here Andy.

Andy: Christ you ain't making this easy you Brit bastard...Quasar?

Dan:...We can kill Quasar?

Andy: Sure we can kill Quasar.

Dan: I don't know Andy. He's a pretty popular Gruenwald character. Maybe you should ask the others first.

Andy: You're right Dan. How thoughtful of you.

Puts Dan on hold.

Andy: BRIAN! Hey BRIAN!

Brian (Mich...oh you know who):....

Andy: Oh for ***k's....Brian Michael Bendis!

Brian: Yes Andrew.

Andy: You using Quasar?

Brian: Am I using Quasar?

Andy: Are you using Quasar?

Brian: ***k no.

Andy gets back on the phone with Dan

Andy: Kill the *****.

Why would Dan Abnett be the one asking to kill Quasar? Keith Giffen wrote Annihilation.

 

[Egotastic]

Why did he type all that out?

Why would Dan Abnett be the one asking to kill Quasar? Keith Giffen wrote Annihilation.

Dan and Andy wrote the Nova series.I assumed that Keith made the overall plan and let te other writers progress the minis in any way without affecting the main series. Thats how most meta-series work.

 

[sandwraith]

Why did he type all that out?

I'm bored. I like to type. I want to be a writer. Is that SO WRONG???

 

[Egotastic]

If it feels good, there can be no wrong.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The pedophile's mantra.

 

[Egotastic]

My, the things that pop into people's minds. It's telling.

 

[Elijya]

Damn.

I remember when this place was gentler and polite without a biting comentary.

It's an in-joke with stingerman

It is when it's in reference to a grown man.

Yes, because there's absolutely nothing silly about calling yourself "Batman"

 

[Egotastic]

Ha. Quasar just sounds like a bad 80's toon hero to me.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sounds like the brightest known object in the universe to me.

 

[Egotastic]

Sounds like a pre-teen anime hero who's dubbed poorly. And as he shouts his name gleefully, he thrusts his fist into the air.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You're just racist against astronomy.

 

[Egotastic]

I like Star-Lord.

I really rather Quasar reintergrated himself now,... based on both the Star Brand and his costume Jewelry he should be back with a suffiecent power source,... get Genn's Gay sister out of Kree Space so the bands can start sucking energy.

Sigh, I remember during Busiek's early run on Avengers, during the whole "Morgan le Fey" storyline, Quasar was one of the only guys to snap out of le Fey's trance because he felt dedicated to the Avengers. As did Photon, Hawkeye, Cap (duh) and Justice (strangely enough). While I'm saddened by his death I really don't think its decent to bring him back this soon

I was more surprised to read here that Hawkey snapped out of it.
Meh.
I'm one of the few who think he'd be a better Captain A than Bucky.

(yeah I know,.. But Clint Needs to be Captain America More than Bucky does.)

Justice makes sense. He was a giant Avengers fanboy. I'm sure he hates what's happened to the Avengers post-Civil War.

yes,... Just like he hates losing his once future wife, and his teamates the New Warriors.

Meh.

And the official award for bringing back an eight month dead topic with NO valuable input and NOTHING new to add goes to:

STINGERMAN!

j/k but in all honesty, why bring this thread up with nothing more than "Yes."?

LOL. I seem to be getting a lot of that lately!

I was searching through various message boards for Quasar threads -for my site: http://www.bringbackwendell.com/boards.html

Some of the ones I found I haven't been to before.

 

[stingerman]

At least he searched for an existing thread instead of starting a new one


Now bake me a cake

Your wish is my command...

 

[stingerman]

Quasar got to hang out at one of those deep space outposts. That was... important...

Right, he was Protector of the Universe. He didn't have time to hang out on earth with the Avengers.

 

[stingerman]

Quasar has a stigma of being an old, silly comic book character. I mean, his name is Quasar. That's pretty fruity. Justice is a lot more accessible for most people.

I disagree. Gru's Quasar series was great. What was so silly? That he was one of the most powerful super heros? Maybe, if Marvel gave him a little respect things would be different.

 

[stingerman]

It is when it's in reference to a grown man.



Because he's a Hollywood actor. Because more people have been exposed to stories involving him joking around with Beast than Quasar doing whatever he's doing up in space.

And Hollywood actors are not fruity????????

Actually Bendis did have plans for Quasar. He wanted to do a story about Quasar being thrown back in time to Marvel 70s.

"Do you want to hear a comic thing that keeps coming after me from like 3 podcasts ago..
about the comic idea I cant do now but before Life on Mars hit, I had a pitch about...I think
I pitched it as Quasar just for..I thought that was a character that would work..he gets shot back to 70s Marvel and he just can't get back....and Reed Richards is trying to help him...so he has to reinvent himself into 70s Marvel...but with the knowledge with everything that is gonna happen with all these characters...and I was gonna do that and then Life on Mars was literally like the next day it was announced..and i was like Oh i cant do it now and everybody just thinks I just ripped it off but I really didn't...Quasar... And to prove all my friends right that I never let anything go...THAT WILL END UP BEING SOMEWHERE.

How's that for contributing? t:

7 posts in a row? Oh, it's wonderful

7 posts in a row? Oh, it's wonderful

Mostly I am at CBR or the Quantum Zone forums. I'll try to make more of an effort here.

Oh yeah, is this the board with the weird sig and avatar rules?

 

[Elijya]

What's weird about em? We don't allow sig images since it slows down page loading, and just ask that they be kept to a reasonable length, and Avatar sizes go up the longer you've been here and have to be family friendly, that's all.

Anyway, really thought what you did with the cake was cool when I heard about it a couple months back. I miss Gru, and Quasar was his baby.
