Marvel is taking drastic liberties with characters in 616 now. Characters are being tossed around, and new ones are coming out of the woodwork. There also seems to be a focus in bringing up older characters to our memory. Meanwhile Ultimate Marvel is becoming more and more like what 616 used to be.
Civil War seems to be Marvel's answer to all the activity at DC. But there are much more inconsistencies in the marvel stories than what's happening at DC and these changes seem to be blatant. Let's take Spider-Man for example.
Spider-Man went through The Other/Ezekiel saga and got improved powers and it seems that Peter Parker's choice to be Spider-man and the accident that caused his powers are suddenly now more of a mystical destiny thing. Not so much an accident like what has been shown for the last 40 years. He is shown as sucking up to Tony stark and acting like a Lackey even though he is like 26 and never wanted to even work with a team before. After trying to join the Fantastic Four, he decided it was better to be solo. So the things he has been doing are contrary to everything he's been doing. But then look...he even has removed his mask to the world. And is a public figure.
Is it just me or are things in Civil War mimicing things that happened in House of M?
Mutants being the main society is very different. But the core ideas are kind of merging. Aside from that, Ultimate Marvel is getting stronger and stronger. Marvel almost seems to favor that universe more than 616.
I think that Marvel is going to need to mimic DC one final time. Because of what has been happening in recent years. And an Infinite crisis of sorts may occur. Either 616 will just be destroyed and Marvel will have us just follow Ultimate....OR There will be another secret wars but something BIG. Something like Universes colliding and time stopping and all of the different dimensions merging..
616
Ultimate
Negative?
etc...etc..
Peter is not going to be married anymore. (Which would piss me off, but that's probablly what would happen) He's going to be dating MJ again. But Gwen might also be alive again as well. And he's going to be like 17 or 18. So senior year of highschool.
Jean will be alive again and the x-men will be together instead of so sporadic. With Charles leading them from behind his wheel chair.
Thor and Hawkeye will be members of the Avengers. But Nick Fury will be black.
Everything will be merged. It will be an Ultimate Fusion. Because it will be more ultimate than 616. You're probably not going to have to have read much of either to understand the storylines.
But ultimate chaos, because what we know now will be lost. And Marvel is causing it by making 616 so..."WTF". I don't even know anyone that reads 616 anymore. Everyone reads ultimate or DC that I know.
