So when can Superheroes go back to fighting crime...

[Sentry2005]

SBP is definitely emo! When he was imprisoned by the Gl's he was whining about something and started cutting himself. I'm not positive, but I think I saw a panel where he was writng in his journal.

Did he have one solitary black tear on his cheek? That's another sure sign... that and foppishly stupid hair.

sbp?

 

[Darthphere]

sbp?

Superboy-Prime.

 

[Darthphere]

why because he's right.

No, because you think hes right.

 

[The Question]

So you are saying that an event which is selling very well may I add was made to give SOME "fanboys" something to like? How about, people are tired of buying the same thing and made an original storyline to get new readers and keep the ones who are getting bored? And as for your "characters not in-character" theory, what do you expect in Civil War? Captain America was a frozen soldier who was brought to the modern time, doesn't like that much change of what he considers freedom so he chooses the anti-registration act. Hercules, a born rebel joining anti-registration. YOUNG Avengers, being rebels obviously due to the fact many of them are teens. Spiderman having doubts about both sides due to this personal beliefs. Deadpool being happy about getting paid to hunt super heroes. Ironman claiming he knows what will happen and chooses a side he agrees with the best. Many of the X-Men not wanting to get involved in the politics of the super heroes. I can go on and on. I just love the fact you call it "a tickle for fanboys" just because you don't like it.

No, it actually is out of character. Spidey reveiling his ID for no reason, Reed being pro McCarthy-ism, SHEILD getting involved in U.S. affairs when it isn't a U.S. organization, the feds giving the heroes almost no time to register and enforcing registration by hunting down teenage vigilantes with helecopters and machine guns, Cap and crew acting like registration is somehow comperable to slavery or the internment camps, so on and so forth. Everyone is being pretty out of character and acting very irrationally for the sake of the fight scenes.

how is he wrong? Nothing he said was wrong about any of the characters he mention...but nobody wants to mention that. all you said was something stupid about the beginning of his statment.

Everything he said was wrong. Shhhh. It'll be ok, really. Its ok.

 

[Sentry2005]

why because he's right.

But he's not. It's not new having super hero against super hero. Hell the frickin registration act isn't even a new plot device; it was used in X-men god knows how many years ago.

I'm enjoying Civil War, but even a donkey could see that it's not exactly a new story, more like old stories mashed togeather to give the resemblence of something original. That's not a bad thing, I mean in the society we live in it's not the story itself that's going to be new (every story has already been told), it's how you tell it.

And Millar, god bless him, is portraying some characters woefully out of their known and accepted ways of behaving. Thor, Norse God of Thunder, decides 'Hey, those humans... they have the right idea... i'm gonna support the registration.', even when some of his best and most respected friends are against it. Unless there is an orgasmic explanation, that will be one of many things (Spider-Man unmasking is another.. i don't even like Spider-Man and I KNOW that's out of character, as well as his attitude towardss his fellow heroes during the issue 3 fight) that has irked me about this actually quite enjoyable story. I mean, if it were non canon, i'm pretty sure everyone would be lapping it up.

50's JSA, Watchmen, JSA again, X-Men, not bad for a "new" concept huh CBK.

 

[MajinShenron]

No, it actually is out of character.

Don't agree.

Spidey reveiling his ID for no reason,

I guess you never read any Spiderman story upcoming to the unmasking did you?

Reed being pro McCarthy-ism,

Arguable.

SHEILD getting involved in U.S. affairs when it isn't a U.S. organization,

New SHIELD director might think differently.

the feds giving the heroes almost no time to register and enforcing registration by hunting down teenage vigilantes with helecopters and machine guns,

I think it was kind of stupid how Captain America was being shot at before the registration happened, but as for the "giving almost no time to register", I remember them saying a few days. And why longate it when the anti-registration people would try and form a rebellion?

Cap and crew acting like registration is somehow comperable to slavery or the internment camps,

If they shown themselves on the street they would be shot at. What kind of statement is that?

Everyone is being pretty out of character and acting very irrationally for the sake of the fight scenes.

I don't agree.

 

[CBK]

How can you bring up Thor when the Story isn't even over yet and we have no idea why Thor show'd up or why he's on the pro reg side.. if you hate it because its out of character thats on you. I'm enjoying it.

So, you're saying that the characters aren't out of character if you ignore them being out of character? Well, I gotta say, I think we have someone to take over from SupermanSmash boys and girls. Give him a round of applause.

 

[CBK]

I'm glad i dont read any of those books.

 

[Darthphere]

New SHIELD director might think differently.

Its not even arguable, SHIELD is an international agency and its director cant change that, you know nothing about MU politics.

 

[Darthphere]

I'm glad i dont read any of those books.

What books?

 

[CBK]

Most ppl on here are soooo...freak dumb its embarssing...all they want is the same **** and if anything a character does is slighting out of character they hate on them and it...I am so out of this ****ing board..

Do you promise? Please say yes.

 

[The Question]

I guess I didn't.

Arguable.

Not arguable. Fact. Reed is acting very out of character.

New SHIELD director might think differently.

It doesn't matter. SHEILD is not a U.S. organization. It's not and never has been their job to enforce U.S. laws on U.S. soil. That is the job of the military and the FBI.

I think it was kind of stupid how Captain America was being shot at before the registration happened, but as for the "giving almost no time to register", I remember them saying a few days. And why longate it when the anti-registration people would try and form a rebellion?

A few days is not sufficient time when you're registering people for something. Months are necessairy to make sure everyone registers. And why would the anti-regs form an armed rebellion over something like that? Unless, I don't know, they were acting irrational and out of character, maybe?

If they shown themselves on the street they would be shot at. What kind of statement is that?

That doesn't change the fact that registration is barely comperable to things like slavery and the internment camps. Thje feds have enforced it in the worst way possible, but the anti-regs are reacting to it like it's the bloody holocaust.

 

[Sentry2005]

Don't agree.

Do you know these characters?

I guess you never read any Spiderman story upcoming to the unmasking did you?

Oh, you mean the stories where they made a real forced attempt to make Peter's change seem natural, but you could tell it was them shoe horning loyalty to Stark into his character? Yeah, I looked at them. They were pretty much against years of character

Arguable.

Well, Reed himself made the comparison, and he's pro registration... so, it is arguable, if you ignore the facts (like CBK)

New SHIELD director might think differently.

Wow, that makes absolutely no sense. SHEILD is a UN organisation, the director can't just decide to interfear in US policies.

I think it was kind of stupid how Captain America was being shot at before the registration happened, but as for the "giving almost no time to register", I remember them saying a few days. And why longate it when the anti-registration people would try and form a rebellion?

Tell that to Luke Cage.

I don't agree.

"Hey Cap, i'd respect you normally, but i'm Tony's ***** now, so FIGHT SCENE!!!"

That's not being dumb, it's having a different taste of things. What I don't like is how some call anyone who likes Civil War "fanboys".

 

[Darthphere]

Probably uncalled far. I love Civil War, but there are a lot of shaky things about it.

 

[Sentry2005]

Ditto

 

[The Question]

It's enjoyable, but as I've said, it has alot of flaws to it.

 

[Doc Destruction]

I need some friggin popcorn. It's nice to read the opinions of others who feel as I do for once.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Oh, and using fanboy on a comic book forum is pretty silly. We're all fanboys.
