The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 4

[Manic]

I'm more comfortable with your skepticism than I am searching through old threads.

Is the What IF? AvX Just Marvel's way of saying the Avengers were right and a big **** you to anyone that remembers the real history of the Phoenix Force?

And why did Jean choose to just save Logan when there were other people around she could have saved too? Makes no sense to me...

 

[Lord]

Are Avengers: Earth's mightiest heroes and Avengers Assembled part of the same universe? When the later was announced they said it was going to be a follow up, However the wikia lists them as being part of different universes, and Assembled being in continuity with Ultimate Spider-Man and Hulk Agents of SMASH

People actually read the What Ifs? I think you're the only person I know that's bought one since the original series ended way back.

They are not. Everything Loeb and Man of Action said about how it's a spiritual successor and they're not saying EMH never happened? LIES!

Okay, I'll dial it back. From what I've seen so far, EMH was designed as a (very effective) crash course of Avengers lore, weaving all those classic stories with a bunch of the modern ones, tying it all together into a great overarching story with an expanding stable of characters.

After 6 episodes, Assemble has so far utilized the fixed roster from the movie (and Black Widow is the least developed), and basically scrapes up all the filler stories that EMH skipped over. I don't hate it. It's a perfectly adequate downgrade.

I'll be passing on it entirely

I have it recorded on my dvr and it's the show I least care to follow. Even when I watch I'll be doing something else while it plays in the background.

Old Thor did. The one from the (possible) future.

You got a link for that Thor 2 spoiler? That's pretty interesting.....

It's from what was shown in Comic-Con, http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/07/21/comic-con-thor-the-dark-world-footage-shown

In which comic did what you say happen?

Spoiler

It took place during Jurgens run on Thor. I think the arc in question was called The Reigning. Jason Aaron has used Old Thor during his run as well

I think the point in the sentinels is that they're tough for mutants to take down because they're big hunks of metal, expendable because there's no human law enforcer putting his/her life on the line, and downright intimidating for any mutant that sees one coming.

We've seen time traveling sentinels from the future that adjust their defenses and strategies based on the powers of the mutants attacking them. The Prime Sentinels were humans fitted with nanotech enhancements who were less likely to crush a crowd of innocent onlookers if they got knocked down.

how many humans have the means to apprehend and/or take down a super powered mutant on their own? You have to take into account that these were originally created in the 60s by those who hated and feared mutants and they were very technologically advance for the time. Since then they've been modified numerous times to make them more efficient and safe. There's been no less than 15 different models and that number rises with new stories

Ah ok. Well considering that one of the most feared known mutants at that point in time(relative to the movies) is a guy who manipulates metal, it's still pretty stupid(unless there's a model which has no metal whatsoever). Having seen some of the images of the Sentinels in DOFP they're not as big as how they were made out to be in 90s animated cartoon or the Wolverine & The X-Men which is a good thing as it's not as over-the-top I suppose.

 

[Manic]

They could make some of the sentinels out of non-ferrous metals, though that wouldn't really make much of a difference to Magneto in the comics. He can do all kinds of electro-magnetic and gravitational stuff, not just control iron like in the movies.

 

[Anubis]

Though all the power he had couldn't stop those sentinels from killing 6 million mutants.

Does Nick Fury still need his Infinity Formula? I thought I read somewhere he doen't need it anymore as he makes his own or something?

Probably not. If it's like any other serum in the Marvel Universe, if you have it for such a long time, it permanently changes your DNA for good. It happened to Captain America with the Super Soldier Serum.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

I wasn't aware Fury ever actually needed it. I thought it was just something he did that the writers made up to justify how long he's been around.

Magneto is just one mutant and there's a mutant out there with a power for almost every possibility. You cant account for every single scenario. Some models of sentinels came equipped with power dampeners so Magneto being able to control metal was a moot point if he had no access to his powers.

Though all the power he had could stop those sentinels from killing 6 million mutants.

He was in a wheelchair and recovering from having Wolverine impale him in the chest. He could probably barely lift up a small car at that point, let alone take on a bunch of sentinels

Does Deadpool know who Stan Lee is?

 

[runawayboulder]

More or less what it's for. He did use the last known sample to save Bucky at the end of Fear Itself, so I guess it has some healing properties as well.

 

[Anubis]

Not that it matters, they'll probably end up killing him off for good come the next big event so his Sam Jacksonesq son can be the only Fury in the MU.

 

[runawayboulder]

They pretty much already exiled his ass to limbo in favor of the Sam Jackson knockoff. I can't remember the last time I seen the real Fury.

The comic movie era has certainly had it's negative impact on the long time fans.

YES KING Thor actually loses his ARM to Wolverine who is blown out of existence just AFTER.

The Old King Thor in the God of Thunder title is SUPPOSED to be an older version of that King Thor time line (which isn't OUR time line anymore) and uses Destroyers arm to replace his own.

BUT if you have read the Thor2 PREQULE comic,

Spoiler

TYR is in Thor 2 and Tyr does loose a hand but to Fenris the wolf and MAYBE we actually see Loki Cutting off TYR's hand not Thor's. We'll have to wait until the new trailer comes out to see for sure.

What trade follows Thor: Gods on Earth?
