The New Improved Official Stupid Question Thread Marvel Edition

[Ace of Knaves]

Heroes is Dodo doo doo.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I've got all of this season's episodes sitting on Hulu still. Every time I think I should watch them, I remember the second and third seasons and then put it off again. I think I'm just gonna delete them and abandon the show. Bryan Fuller's gone so what point is there to watching anymore? He wrote pretty much the only good episodes the show ever had.

 

[chamber-music]

I stopped watching Heroes. It just got too stupid and I stopped caring about the characters.

Sylars motives changed every two bloody episodes it was ridiculous

 

[sdc10]

Too bad because this season is actually good again

 

[Panthro]

Is X-Men: First Class worth reading?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

If you like the original X-Men, absolutely.

 

[Jordacar]

Too bad because this season is actually good again

Not from what I've heard.

 

[Panthro]

If you like the original X-Men, absolutely.

I do like the original X-Men, I just meant in general.


Is the Thor Son of Asgard stuff worth reading?

 

[sdc10]

Not from what I've heard.

Well idk about you but i like to actually watch something and form an opinion about it myself as opposed to having someone make it for me.

 

[sdc10]

What is the reason for Magneto's "youthfulness"? did he have something done to him or is that just a result of the slow movement of time in the MU?

 

[Anubis]

He got turned into a baby for a little while. Not. Joking.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I do like the original X-Men, I just meant in general.


Is the Thor Son of Asgard stuff worth reading?

Yes. I actually loved the Son of Asgard stuff. The art's a bit dodgy at times, but otherwise it's great. Thor figuring out how to use Mjolnir for the first time is priceless.

 

[Varient]

Magneto,...

That guy should be ANCIENT!

 

[Anubis]

I wouldn't mind them changing it to his family getting killed in some other random genocide. There's been plenty since WWII after all.

 

[sdc10]

Magneto,...

That guy should be ANCIENT!

Shouldnt Xavier also be as old? Magneto had something done to him, what's Xavier's excuse?

 

[Silicon Surfer]

Xavier's body is a clone of his original. The original got turned into a Brood queen. Sikorski of the Starjammers cloned his body and they transferred his mind into it before the final transformation.

Oh wow... i knew he was cloned but i never knew it was for this purpose...

Does Xavier himself know?

 

[Silicon Surfer]

Yes, he knows. His cloned body was originally undamaged and potentially able to walk. He had psychological issues that prevented him from doing so. He eventually conquered those and was able to walk again. Then he got reinjured and was back in the wheelchair.

 

[MarvelWarrior]

Who is the Red She Hulk?

 

[sdc10]

Who is the Red She Hulk?

Hasnt been revealed yet, her only appearance was at the end of that one issue. I guess Loeb figures his writing isnt enough to keep people interested so the only way to do that was to keep the identities of the Red Hulk and She Hulk a secret for as long as he can.

 

[Manic]

Thanks to cloned bodies and being turned into a baby, Xavier and Magneto are surprisingly among the few characters whose origins haven't been affected by Marvel's sliding timescale. While Iron Man's origin switches wars/international conflicts every decade, Magneto is still a Holocaust survivor and Charles is still a Korean War veteran.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Have they ever updated the FF's origin? I think Reed and Ben were initially WWII vets, weren't they?

How about SHIELD? How old is it? Iron Man played a big role in its creation in the '60s or '70s or whenever, since Stark Industries provided most of its initial equipment and tech. Has that been changed or has the creation of the organization itself simply been moved up to about 10 or 15 years before the present, like many of the individual heroes' origins?

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Reed Richards was in WWII??!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

When the comics first started, I think so.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Interesting, he doesn't come across as the soldier type. Maybe a military tactician or R & D or something.
