The Official Avengers Thread (Heroic Age Bendis/JRJR) - Part 1

[moraldeficiency]

I can understand that, and really, that's kind of my point with Storm. Cuz I think that when you get right down to it, Mutants, particularly omega class mutants, would in fact count as Gods to humans. Hell, she gets bit by a vampire, and boom. Immortal on top of being a mutant. So in another 1,000 years, would she qualify? By your definition, I'd say so.





And what would this higher level stuff be? Most Asgardians are farmers, warriors, merchants, and smiths. Hardly higher level s**t.

Vampire storm in a thousand years? Definitely a god.

A god can chose to do all sorts of stuff. They might decide the mundane is for them. Or they want the thrill of war. Gods are just above us. Or to put it another way. Dogs are pretty instinctual. A dog would chose to eat and have sweet dogging sex all day long if they could. I might choose to do the same. But despite the similiarity in our actions I'm still a human and it's still a dog.

I would call mutants a stepping stone in between. They're still too human to count. I see them as like a child with a machine gun. They have awesome power but not the skill to use it correctly. Now if they're allowed to grow up and get some training? Different story.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Storm's totally not a god. That's it, guys. Like, kaputski. S'just the way it is. So suck it, Nubs.

 

[Anubis]

Storm's not a God, but that Pheb who wacks it in public down at the local Asgardian watering hole is. That makes perfect sense.

Besides, I already ended this debate with tuff ****.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Gods need love too.

 

[JewishHobbit]

This conversation bores me.

 

[RockSP]

You bore this conversation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bored]

Bore this you conversation!

 

[runawayboulder]

Conversation this you BORE!!!!!!!!!

 

[THANOSRULES]

How About Bagely coming back to work with Bendis, if we must have Bendis, I'd rather see him with Bags.

I'll be buying that series.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

The only reason I'll be buying the new book is because I feel like it's the only Avengers book since Disassembled to give me an actual Avengers team. No Spider-man or Wolverine on my Avengers, thank you.

 

[bored]

What about "Mighty Avengers"? Even when Bendy-Straw was writing that, no Spidey or Wolverine.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm even more pessimistic for this book, considering he's had a legitimately "Avengers" team to work with before, and still made that boring.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

yeah, I read the first few issues of Mighty Avengers. But those word bubbles annoyed the **** out of me. I dropped it pretty quickly.

 

[Anubis]

None of that is a good enough reason to by this book.

If you're doing it for the art, then it will look nice while it sucks.

If you're doing it for the team then it will be all your favorite characters sucking.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I feel like 2 out of 3 ain't bad. It's a team I like that looks good while sucking. I'll take that. At least for a few issues.

 

[hippie_hunter]

The only reason I'll be buying the new book is because I feel like it's the only Avengers book since Disassembled to give me an actual Avengers team. No Spider-man or Wolverine on my Avengers, thank you.

I think that Spider-Man has earned his place on the Avengers.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I think he's earned it, yeah. I just prefer my Spider-man as a loner, with the occasional team-up. It feels weird seeing him permanently on a team to me.

 

[Anubis]

I think it's weird that he's now adult enough to stop with that loner boos**t but not adult enough to be married with kids.

 

[runawayboulder]

I prefer him on ONE Avenger team, not every god damn one. I also prefer him acting like a veteran, not some frigging rookie jerk-wad.

 

[Anubis]

Which he would if Bendis wasn't writing it.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I like to think of Peter pretty much the same as Dick Grayson. Everybody knows him, everybody likes him and they'll never say no to giving/getting help from him, because he's damn good at what he does. But he works primarily on his own.

 

[Anubis]

No he doesn't, he lead the Titans for years.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I had the Dick in mind from Dixon, like his Bludhaven days. Mostly solo Nightwing stories then.

Which he would if Bendis wasn't writing it.

I think Bendis' problem is he wrote Ultimate Spiderman before getting a real crack at 616. And he writes them the exact same. He doesn't get that they are not the same character.

 

[Anubis]

And he still lead the Titans. During that whole run.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

really? I thought that came a little bit after. I didn't read Titans, so I'll trust you on that.

 

[KangConquers]

So does anyone think Marvel will do something extra in the spring with this book to promote Avengers? Often times they've created new characters like Ezekiel Stane in order to create a sense of familiarity for new readers who might be hopping on after the movie.

Maybe they'll add Banner to the team. Hah. Probably not.
