[Majin Boo]

QUESADA: Alright Brian, who's in your New Avengers line-up?
BENDIS: Spider-Man.
QUESADA: Christ, he's in a lot of books as it is. But he sells well, so sure. Who else?
BENDIS: Spider-Woman.
QUESADA: Okay, you can have her on the team too. Who else?
BENDIS: Spider-Girl.
QUESADA: Okay, look. You've got ENOUGH Spider-People on the team as it is. This is the New Avengers, not the New Arachnids. Pick someone else.
BENDIS: Venom.
QUESADA: NO!
BENDIS: I like spiders.
QUESADA: I know you do, Brian. I know you do.

haha. whatever man, i don't really give a ****.

This thread, and the linked article, are a failed attempt at originality.

I wasn't referring to you Futhermore, I was referring it to Majin Boo.

Who said it was trying to be original? I thought the link was worth a few chuckles.

lmao

dear me what a spectacularly poor bit of critiquing that article is.

At least last year it could have been considered relevant, it doesn't even have that going for it.

Just reads like some fanboy of the opinion he is posessed with some sort of insight beyond the pale.

Give me a few minutes and ill write a 5 page essay why Bendis sucks, then gildea will counter my argument and we will be locked in eternal battle. In other words. Close thread.

But yet he's still one of the hottest writers in the business. Whether you dislike him because he killed your favorite character, doesn't write dialogue up to "your" standard, doesn't write stories fast enough for "you"...he's still the top selling comic book writer in the industry.

Maybe to certain comic fans Bendis may not be that great but he's still on top. If those fans were the majority then Bendis wouldn't have a job at Marvel, but that's not the case.

 

[Elijya]

not even funny, and it's really just an attack thread with no actual points. Besides, plenty of "I don't like Bendis" threads have come before

Sales dont equal quality. I think weve had this discussion before.

I guarantee you whatever you would write would be better written, better argued and overall more thoughtful than that piece of filler pretending to be a column.

Possibly, but its just like old hat already. "Bendis sucks!" We know!

 

[gildea]

We need to find something else to argue about.

Beer or wine?

Apparently, theres a strong Millar hate movement starting, I mean bigger than before. I cant wait til the day someone starts a Robert kirkman is overrated thread or something.

 

[Elijya]

oh, we'll see it some day, phere

I know, I think we need to start a pool to see who is the one that starts it, safe bets are GAH or a noob.

 

[gildea]

At least thats something to look forward too.

Haha, I like how GAH's the only established poster who's even in the running.

From the link:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans brag about how Joss Whedon is so good at writing dialogue that you can often take a single line by a character, out of context, and still identify who said the line. Even if you haven't seen the episode it came from. There are online quizzes out there based on this premise. My argument is that with Bendis's dialogue you won't know your Luke Cage from your Spider-Man. So in the interest of testing that theory, I've created this brief BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS DIALOGUE QUIZ! Enjoy!

I don't read any Bendis books, and I got 9 out of 10 on the quiz. The only one I missed was

Moonknight

saying "You're an idiot monkey!! The entire city hangs in the balance over what happens here and you're sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!!"

Well he pretty much hates anything Marvel so.....
