The Official Stupid Question Thread: Marvel Edition - Part 5

[KevanG]

Not as far as I know. Everyone else seems to have gone back to see him and he's gone everywhen else.

 

[DawnWarrior]

In Avengers #56, Cap and the others get sucked back to WWII and get to witness Cap's last mission and Bucky's death.

 

[KevanG]

Well there you go.

One of these days Cap is going to get some massive PTSD flashbacks, steal a time machine and gather a few hundred versions of himself to go fight WWII without a single casualty and still fail to save Bucky from the rocket. Then he'll pull a Hal Jordan and grab the Infinity Gauntlet to fix everything but accidentally make it the 'perfect' version of the 50's until time itself ends.

so...is MArvel rebooting their universe in that theyre going to be starting at the beginning of each hero's respective story or is it just a loose reboot like the DCnU

 

[Anubis]

Whatever they do it'll f**k everything up.

I think it is a loose reboot. They aren't going back to year zero with their heroes but I think they may streamline some of their backstories.

 

[KevanG]

So are Marvel and DC doing pretty much the same stories with Convergence and Secret Wars? I've been ignoring both until they figured what the **** they were doing but the little I've seen it's pretty close to identical.

 

[DareDemon]

I've never encounter Hank Pym growing big enough to enter the Macroverse before. I get that he can poof! disappear into the Micro/Macroverse, but when he gets too big for our universe how does he not crush Earth? Or does he not need to really get that big to go to another verse?

I tried googling it, no answers. I can't even find the real name for the macro verse anymore. I thought it was "overworld" or something.

 

[KevanG]

Eh, it's the weird part of comics Physics. It's similar to how the microverse access works in that he just doesn't drop into sub-atomic levels but enters another universe. As he gets bigger his body shifts into another dimension 'somehow' due to the Pym Particles with his mass being shifted over to that as he grows so it doesn't affect the place he comes from. It also helps break the square/cubed O2 law that he and other giant figures have (like Godzilla) so he can breathe, move and basically not have his skeleton collapse when he gets too big.

Pym Particles seem to be less an atomic particle and more chunks of Infinity gem.

I googled it after and came up with this. Not sure if it would add or clarify anything I said but go nuts.

 

[DareDemon]

So basically he doesn't need to get THAT big to go into Overspace. Just a few hundred feet maybe? I was thinking he had to grow bigger than celestial objects or something to be big enough to enter another dimension.

Thanks for the answer!

Edit: I thought the topography of the dimensions was Microverse>our dimension>Macroverse/Overspace (different names, same place)

But it's actually Underspace>Microverse>Ours>Macroverse>Overspace. Cool. Glad I finally got that. Thanks again!

 

[Panthro]

Is the Spider-Gwen Stacy AU story worth reading?

 

[KevanG]

From what I've heard it's good.

 

[MadVillainy]

hmmm I figured that was the case.

This might be unpopular but I actually wouldn't have minded a reboot and return to Year Zero

 

[PunyGod]

The main purpose of the reboot is to make the comics resemble the MCU. Going back to year zero wouldn't accomplish that.

But what are they going to do when the comics start becoming convoluted again in a couple of years? Reboot again?

This is why chasing the movies is such a dumb idea. Marvel has always been quick to alter their comics to match every movie that comes out. DC is actually owned by the movie studio and they almost never do this.

 

[KevanG]

That's one of the issues I've had with the MCU, every now and then they give a big change to the comics with pretty much no notice besides "Surprise, the movie did something different so here we go too."

Well, so far they have almost no movies at this point so it's too soon for them to start pointlessly changing the comics just to match films that will be rebooted 20 or 30 years down the line anyway.

I agree it's foolish to change the comics to match the movies though. Let them be their own separate universes I say.

 

[PunyGod]

DC has no movies? 4 Superman movies? 4 Batman movies? 3 Dark Knight movies?

This is what I was referring to. Most of these were big successes but the comics never did anything to tie into them.


Thats not to say that you shouldnt incorporate a great idea from a movie. But you shouldnt change the comics just for the sake of having them match up.

he's most likely referring to this new connected cinematic universe they are trying to create and as it stands, there is only one movie "Man of Steel"

 

[Panthro]

Yeah, that's what I was referring to.

 

[Anubis]

I think they should go full Reboot with Marvel. If DC's constant reboots has taught us anything, it's that picking and choosing only f**ks s**t up worse.

 

[PunyGod]

OK but when I said DC never makes changes based on movies I was referring to ALL their movies not just the most recent one.

Remember that Marvel has been adapting their comics to the movies since long before they had a cinematic universe.

 

[Mace Dolex]

Im just a casual Avengers reader but in the comics how in the hell did Scarlet Witch and Vision hook up, I mean isn't the dude an android or something?

 

[KevanG]

She heard this song and just got curious.

[Lobo]

Are Cyclops optic blasts hot? Have they ever burned, or melted anything? Or made something catch fire?

 

[KevanG]

He shoots beams of concussive force despite what the early X-Men books said. The energy comes from portals in his eyes from a dimension of limitless kinetic force.

Aka PUNCHES FROM THE PUNCH DIMENSION!!!!
