Comics what is the worst thing since BND

[bryanss3]

I'm excluding the loss of the marriage cause we all know thats the worst

 

[carnageehw]

None of the above.

The unexplained gaps in time that make it feel like a completley different character.

I'm going to go with Harry being alive and divorced 3 times. I'm still waiting to see how they explain how Harry came back in this reality, but not in the pre-OMD reality, and yet, nothing changed in spider-history due to the marriage being erased except for Peter and MJ just living together.

Also, if Harry returned from the grave years after being dead and buried, then he must be a zombie, as he came back to life, and didn't need air at all...

 

[moraldeficiency]

out of those harry, but the worst thing? Peter Parker the spazzing selfish d-bag.

 

[The Lazy Reaper]

Kraven's daughter is probably the best from that list. Anti-Venom is a close second.

I'm neutral about Flash's legs. I don't know what to think of it either way.

Everything else sucks. If I really had to choose, it'd be Menace. Seems kinda pointless to have a Goblin knockoff when the real Green Goblin is still alive and well.

Worst character so far is Vin. Just doesn't do it for me.

Everything else has been golden.

"it's magic"

Hmm, I'm not too sure on this. I've really loved alot of things since BND.

I actually thought Vin was probably the most well rounded of the BND cast.

he has reasons for the way he acts. even though he is a little over the top sometimes.

Worst character so far for me is DEXTER BENNETT. hands down.

True. Vin's probably the least likable of the new characters for me right now because...well...that's how he's supposed to come across right now.

But you're right about Dexter, too. The way he was acting at first I thought "Wow. This guy's going to make the Bugle into an honest paper! He seems to actually have a good head on him!"

But then he quickly showed his true colors and he's even worse than Jameson. He's Jameson but without the qualities that make him relatable.

Yeah...I retract my former choice. DB all the way.

Harry being alive and Venom/Green Goblin not knowing the identity are the worst things so far to me. I still don't see the point of bringing Harry back. I mean, yes they fleshed out the character a bit more at the end of New Ways to Die, but he's been pretty much useless through out.

 

[bryanss3]

they prob brought harry back just so they could make a new goblin and make try to make it seem like its harry even though its not gonna be, the truth i could see them making menace do something like kill Norman and harry or something stupid like that. but they are Osborn's they always come back as stated by Norman in the last NWTD

 

[shinlyle]

they don't need to explain it
"it's magic"

So they've been saying...up until the solicitation for the upcoming issue that read something along the lines of "The completely logical, non-magical explanation for Harry's return from the dead".

You know what? Both explanations are pretty stupid, if you think about it.

 

[Matt Murdock]

There've been some incredibly bumpy plot points in BND, but I think they stem from issues that have been present since the 80's and 90's. The symbiote overload of the 90's was a huge issue, and storylines have grown so convoluted and messy that people just don't want to keep up anymore.

Spider-Man needs to get back to the basics: good guys fighting bad guys, and good guys winning.

 

[Spec Spider-Man]

I voted Harry, but I like brand new day also.

 

[The Joker]

Harry by a million miles. Why on earth did they bring him back? Morons.

Anti-Venom would be second. Another redundant symbiote character. Yeah, that's really needed. The latest in a long line of shallow plot devices to try and keep the Venom character fresh.

 

[Matt Murdock]

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but all of the characters would remain fresh if the writers would sit back and take a breath with them. Comic sales have been declining so much lately simply because of the utter trash that flooded the market in the last decade.

 

[jewmaican20]

All of the above, and then some.

Bringing Harry back nullifies one of the most heartbreaking events in comicdom. Harry's death scene was so tragic and they just retconned it out of existence.
Top thing that's not listed? Marc Guggenheim writing it. I thought that when the Writer's Strike was over, we'd see less of him.

However, seeing John Romita Jr back in the saddle IS good, and I did enjoy the varying artists...

 

[bryanss3]

Harry Osborn did die.....he just came back it says it in NWTD 6 its like the first or second page when he's arguing with Norman. I guess they want to stick with Everything happened the same except they MJ and Pete were never married. They're gonna tell us how he came back in a futire issue

...eh. That's the problem with *magic* - it's too easy and convenient for retcon.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Agreed. I actually dont mind Anti-Venom or Ana Kravinoff. Flash losing his legs was actually kind of touching. I miss the realistic tone that ASM used to have, and #575 was a nice return to that. It was a BND story that I actually approve of. That said, of the options listed, I gotta say Harry being divorced from Liz. And alive. I dont see the point of that.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

The worst thing since BND is putting up with the big whine-fest that this board has turned into.


j/k... well, half.

amen!

 

[Styleshift]

I liked the story where flash lost his legs. even if you dislike BND or Guggenheim, you've gotta give credit where it's due.

the last image specifically was powerful.

Now....I don't quite like where it might lead (flash becoming a pity character)
but it was still a good story nonetheless. probably the best one to not even feature Spidey.

I still stand by my opinion that DB is the ABSOLUTE WORST character of BND. probably worst to come out of a spidey tale in a while. since typeface....

This post is kind of unfair. You guys don't even have the real "worst of BND" up there. If you did everyone would be agreeing. not just the Anti-folks.

 

[carnageehw]

Harry Osborn did die.....he just came back

Only in comic books.....


Regardless of how they explain it, Harry died, and because of BND he was brought back. Will they explain it in a way that makes it seem like it would have happened regardless of the retcon? Of course. Will that make it so? No.

Also, the fact that such a great character died in such a great story wasn't even given the curtousy of a proper story to bring him back is all kinds of stupid.

Imagin after Aunt May died in 400.....30 issue later she just magically reappears, and they promise to explain it later.
