Maybe he couldn't stand to read Loeb's Ultimates, either.

LoL @ Loeb

 

[hippie_hunter]

Someone has to like it at Marvel since they're giving him another shot

 

[SouLeSS]

Well I mean he doesn't have to read it by any means, but couldn't he be ike "hey, Loeb, what do ytou plan to do with Ultimatum? I need to know so I can start the scripts of XXXXXXX, and I want to kinda fit them toegether".

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, first off, do you really see Millar giving that much of a s***? He's a big-name creator who just swoops in, f***s everything up for a bit, and then moves on to something else. But even if he did care to ask that, I'm sure the Ultimate editor would respond with some variant of, "Who cares? Just write your story and don't let silly things like narrative coherence hinder your ability to net us boatloads of cash--er, I mean, your creativity."

If by "someone at Marvel," you mean "the masses of sheep who are still putting their money down for it every whenever-the-f*** it comes out," then yes.

Judging by the way Loeb writes that kind of concept would completely blow his mind. "continui....wha?"

Or you could actually click on the link, which says that Millar held off on starting with the first arc because he wanted to see where Loeb was going with Ultimatum first.

Sorry to burst your *****ing bubble.

That doesn't actually change anything I said, but thanks for sharing.

The hammering out of details from the beginning to the point that it changes your core idea can actually be positive if it makes the core idea grow and change organically into something better. There are plenty of stories like that from TV shows or movies or novels, where a writer freely admits that they had planned one thing all along, only to find that in making it work within the narrative structure, they realized there was a much better way to do it. Hell, TV in particular is littered with characters who were initially meant to be killed off after one or two appearances but proved to be so interesting that the showrunners decided to keep them around. I mean, look at how much Steve Urkel enriched Family Matters.

Steve Urkel was meant to be killed off!?!

No, but it does make you look (more) like an ass, which is always a nice thing.

Yup, f**ked to death by a robot sex slave Laura doll.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The episode would've been glorious.

 

[Anubis]

Glorious indeed.

Looks like someone's troubles are coming back.

And I had so hoped you were making progress.

 

[Blader5489]

I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and take guff from a transsexual sea creature.

You left off mythological.

You're taking **** off a transsexual sea creature that doesn't even exist.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The only reason unicorns don't exist for you is because you don't believe.

 

[fifthfiend]

I just don't have the belief to spare. I'm using all mine believing in Falcor in hopes that he'll swoop down one day and we'll fly away to Fantasia together.

 

[BrianWilly]

You could at least spell his name right if you're going to believe in him.

 

[Mogwai]

^^lol

 

[fifthfiend]

I clearly don't have the belief capacity for genuine original-model Falkor. But I figure I just might rate his similarly named Korean knockoff.

 

[hippie_hunter]

The New Avengers line-up for Dark Reign has been leaked

Spoiler

Spider-Man, Wolverine, Luke Cage, Ronin, Echo, Captain America

 

[Mr. Green]

Sick.

 

[kguillou]

Wait, how did the lineup get "leaked" out? Marvel's been keepin a tight lid on this thing. Nut if that's true, thats a good lineup.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I want Clint to stop being Ronin already

Other than that, the team looks great

 

[Ahura Mazda]

The team looks fit for fighting street level crime and that is all...
