"Yeah and because we did that an entire planet was killed and Bruce went crazy all because of something we thought Bruce MIGHT do." BAM. done. Shows character development for Tony and explains why Tony would be against it. because the last time he tried to pre punish someone it backfired BIG TIME.

That whole "drinks are definitely on me" bit seems especially wrong from my perspective, since there's a story in the 90s Invincible Iron Man series where Carol nearly killed Tony while drunk and in her Warbird persona before blacking out and ending up in the hospital. Granted, the two reconciled and Tony ended up sponsoring her at an AA meeting after defeating Ultimo, but there's a difference between characters moving past a crippling issue of theirs and going "LOL drinx".

This. But its Bendis and when people point out his disconnect with continuity, they are usually right.

What's really frustrating about She-Hulk supporting Carol was in her 00s series, she was actually assigned a case where she had to defend a man who killed someone because he had a device showing the victim was destined to kill him. Jennifer only said he was guilty and only defended because she was ordered to but eventually turned the case on its head by revealing the victim and perpetrator were the same person (it's complicated).

I've had a lot of time on my hands and have been going back through all your videos, so I've had a chance to see them as a body of work instead of just an experiment or an attempt. The content and tone of this episode is uniquely enlightening and engaging. I'd like to tell you why as well. To begin you obviously were interested in this book. Even though you don't like it in the end it's obvious you invested in reading it. Also, you have a great knowledge of both the lore and the authorship, which allows you to contextualize your thoughts, and you find excellent panels to illustrate examples. And you have a positive, expansive, taste that isn't cynical, or snide, and is secure enough to not take disagreement personally. That's totally to the core of my favorite content you create and I always look forward to your videos. It's always nice to find guys I met like 15 years ago at WWChicago are still making stuff. I always look forward to your episodes.

ComicTropes - you should have an episode about retcon tropes. She-Hulk gets angry about Banner's murder and Hawkeye's absolution from the crime and yet she offers her support in CW2. Stake of James Rhodes' death lost when he reappears in Punisher. I'd love to see the new Retcon Trope in comic writing these days.

I remember when *Infinity Gauntlet* came out in the early nineties, I thought, "Oh no, not *another* Marvel event!!" Not too long before we had *Marvel Superheroes Secret Wars* between 1984-85, *THE* original crossover event (and still the best) which went on to gain widespread acclaim, then we had *Secret Wars II,* which didn't really live up to the original's expectations. Then came *Acts Of Vengeance,* spread over many Marvel titles what I thought was a good idea (pitching heroes against unfamiliar foes they're not used to). When this came along, I'd reached event fatigue and decided to give it a miss (and we haven't come to the *Onslaught* saga yet!!!)

Note also that them finding out about things that would happen was a central element in the series this happened in: Jean Grey in particular was pretty unhappy about the whole Dark Phoenix thing, and refused to return (as you would), so it's not like Bendis just didn't think of this.

Celestials are so far beyond any of these heroes that nothing they could do would even be noticeable by them, which is why one having minions is so damn laughable. Also of note, the people who wrote Guardians of the Galaxy 2 also don't seem to understand the comic Celestials either because they seemed to think that Ego was one as well, when in actuality, if the Celestials showed up to judge Ego, he wouldn't be able to do a damn thing about it.

Who wrote this comic again? Did he ever READ past Marvel comics? Did he KNOW who the damn Celestials were? It sounds to me that this guy just kind of, "heard of them" and "Heard that they were powerful" and tossed them in. The comic "Marvel Zombies" also had this problem too. They had Galactus show up. The zombie superheroes actually somehow knocked Galactus off of his feet, beat the crap out of him while he was down, and then ate him. I was like, "Um... what? Galactus is made of the Power Cosmic. These guys, zombies or not, wouldn't even be able to penetrate his armor, let alone his... skin... if he has... skin..." I don't know what it was with that time period of seriously de-powering Marvels entities of the universe to turn them into wimps that the heroes could just easily punch into pulp, but given everything that we knew about them prior, it never, ever, could have happened!!! What was next? Spider Man winning an arm wrestle with Eternity? Oh wait. Everything was gritty and ultra-violent back then. It would have to be The Punisher shooting Eternity, ripping his head off, shoving his head into his butt, cutting his gut open (because Eternity will have a gut... a bloody one.) and he'll die horribly. and The Punisher will say a one liner like, "My bullets are eternal!".

@@BlackburnBigdragon he's just being a troll. But to answer your statement about Ego, the writers don't "think Ego was an eternal" they made Ego an eternal for the films because they wanted the concept to be more easily accessible to general audiences. They wanted the idea of vast and unknowable power to be closer to home and even in his home in Peter Quill's case. Having magical space giants just show up could be interesting, but at the end of the day they wanted to humanize what is essentially an inhuman concept while also connecting it to the main cast as opposed to something utterly divorced from them. In other words, its an adaptation. You know where you're adapting a source and not coping it beat for beat. New character dynamics are sort of the rule and not the exception. Plus I'd point out the fact that Guardians one foreshadows the Celestials at every turn. Nowhere is the freaking head of a Celestial and we even see one destroying a planet causally. And that's not even getting into the fact that Comic Ego doesn't ever seem as close to as strong as his movie counterpart., but the movie counter part also isn't close to as strong as other Celestials we've seen in the films. So my point ends up being, they're obviously doing their own thing and so maybe take it for what it is? An utterly divorced continuity where characters and events can and will be fundamentally different from their comic expressions.

Your complaint about the formerly tough foes being whipped is why I love Hickman. When alternate Terrax shows up in New Avengers, he’s treated with respect a badass minor character should have. It’s one of my favorite moments of the run bc Terrax the Enlightened comes off like a total badass even though they eventually take him out. Edit: the Ulysses character and story would’ve worked way better if they’d scrapped the event and developed it over a period of time, finally coming to a head in a mini-event.

But killing Rhodey as a plot device to service other characters is crap.

25:45 great idea for a What If? What if Hulk and Ultron had a baby? ( it could be the female Ultron that Frank Cho drew)

Wait...Bendis is credited on that Illuminati cover. So...did he forget his own story?

The answer is yes!

Bendis could have strengthened Carol’s argument by pointing out that the possible future that Ulysses saw didn’t happen because they acted on it. Moreover, by not acting on information that you know will cause people to die, doesn’t that make you complicit to the crime itself?

Hey what's the name of that song that plays when he is talking about war machine?

This guy got passion though

17:42, nice Age of Ultron allusion.

17:16 That moment when Brian Michael Bendis makes you wonder if you might be an alcoholic.

Waiting for the Tom King comic tropes, for me he's the one which the tropes are the most noticable

I have an episode about his Batman run.

Everytime I hear of something stupid that happens to one of my favorite characters I clench my teeth, shake my fist at the sky and yell "BENDIS!"

Have you reviewed plots in the movies and video games like injustice 1 & 2

In re: to Captain Marvel and Iron Man joking about drinks on me? I am a recovering alcoholic and have been involved in AA since 2013. A lot of times me and some.of.the guys/girls use that exact joke on the way out of meetings. If we can't laugh at our frailties we give them too much power. Just a consideration I love love Comic Tropes

How Minny comics did exmutants first ten 1986 isshues sell ? Including the special isshues and the annual ?

6:50 except for Secret wars 2015 (an event I actually enjoye) which centered around Doctor Doom and acted as a send-off for the Fantastic 4

I think it was established that the past X-Men have been in the present for too long that they became a paradox so they can't be sent back. That's why this story doesn't deal with that.

I would have had Carol say that the Ultimates were combining some r&r and introducing Ulysses to the team and WarMachine was visiting Carol Then the kid has a nightmare on his 2nd or 3rd night in just when people are getting comfortable and high on the previous victory over the Celestial and to impress his girl it would be natural for Rhodey to volunteer for the mission

The movies have done, what, Dark Phoenix twice and Fantastic 4 origin two or three(?) times? Not sure they're looking for anything new or groundbreaking from those books.

Eh, to that I say read Hickman's run of Fantastic Four. That was a recent run that reinvigorated the series. Let movies be movies and comics be comics. Because at the end of the day the types of storytelling on display aren't even close to being the same.

Sometimes something is so painful you have to laugh. As a person who is aware of both Iron Man's and Marvel's history, I buy it. It's a bit odd for the moment they're in though.

I actually like most of his non-story related but narrative related tropes, like characters repeating themselves, a lot of dialogue and not much fighting. It's an style that suits more grounded and character based stories, like Ultimate Spiderman. However, as I haven't read Civil War II, I don't know if that tone was the correct one for this event.

wwhulk was both reactionary and precautionary to the continued damage that hulk caused on a regular basis

Once a hero disregards civil liberties they are no longer a hero.

I missed back when you actually talked about tropes with your sticky papers

That picture is pretty funny because if you stop and really look at Kurt's face he's got this dejected and almost angry facial expression, but if you just skip over his face because he's less detailed standing in the shadow he has kind of a goofy face. XD It makes you have to do a double take.

12:29 I see the cover to Marvel UK Collectors' Edition Avengers United in the video.

Spider-woman used to be able to glide, but right before she joined the Avengers, she was given the ability to fly.
