Okay. It is much preferable if they are willing to check through all of the suggested revisions here. 🙏
 
I'm not being subversive, I just don't believe in dismissing a majority vote of staff (including 2 that explicitly focused on the Scarlet Witch stuff) just because you disagree with it.

2 admins and 3 other voting staff fully agreed with the SW stuff.
Although the evaluation of each staff member carries equal weight, the final decision regarding the approval of a content revision may be influenced by other factors such as the expertise and knowledge of the staff members involved, the complexity and controversy of the revision, and the popularity or prominence of the affected series verse. In terms of decision-making authority, bureaucrats are given the highest consideration, followed by administrators, and then thread moderators.

Is not just cuz he disagrees. If a bureaucrat believes a revision needs to be given a bit more thorough analysis, they are well within the means of halting the implementation of a revision. Specially when a revision involves a verse as big as Marvel. Additionally, it is certainly not unreasonable to ask of the staff to be more in-depth or at the absolute least, show they actually read everything beyond just a basic "looks good" (which is why I personally take my time to read stuff and check every single scan before commenting on a thread; and even then, I easily could miss some context, so it getting pointed out is very important).

So please try to keep such comments to a minimum. It's frustrating when a revision takes forever, however that's also the risk you run when trying to revise a big verse such as this one on top of tackling in too much stuff at once.

With that being said, as I mentioned to you in private, I myself am hesitant to participate in revisions for this verse precisely because of situations like this, where its long history and showcases unfortunately start contradicting past information and without proper in-depth knowledge on the verse, revisions pass without thought or care, just seeking to index for the sake of indexing at a certain point, regardless if its consistent. Combined with our strict rules on the verse, there's very little I can provide for the revision. I'm fairly sure I am not alone among our staff on that sentiment.
 
Main things were resistance to the Phoenix Force (which tbf did warrant more than a guidebook statement and I did find stuff from the comics supporting, as shown in the OP) and resistance to deconstruction
Since this seems to be the main thing holding the thread down, I will focus on this

I'm also not sure what resistances to give Wanda based on what you said regarding the Phoenix, other than the obvious resistance to Fire Manipulation.
I believe it would be more a general "has resistance to the Phoenix Force" itself, but not individual abilities not tied to the Phoenix Force. For example, while she can resist the mind manipulation from a Phoenix Force host, if she didn't have an innate resistance to mindhax, another user of the power could affect her.

So she doesn't individually resist every ability from the Phoenix Force based on that, only the PF directly.

For deconstruction, I would note it under her forcefield abilities, as she protected herself with one.
 
Thank you for helping out, Lephyr. 🙏
 
Well, I think that Saman went through that and other sections earlier, and rejected a part of it, and I and ProfectusInfinity also had some other concerns about reliability regarding other areas from what I recall. 🙏

Saman had issues with the PF resistance and deconstruction*, and gave a more satisfactory solution in the quoted post I mentioned, from which I then elaborated.

What specifically do you have a problem with, if you are able to give such? I can take a look then.

Edit: *because everything else, Esseso already implemented in the tabber. It was just those two things left, seemingly.
 
Well, from what I recall, Storm's regular physical statistics and fighting skills were very exaggerated at some point, and I also agreed with ProfectusInfinity about some concerns he had, but I may misremember.

I mainly just wanted Saman to go through the rest of the suggested revisions here, but he seems to have lost interest. 🙏

That was already removed a while back.

Well, the rest of the staff (mainly, Glass and Planck) seems to have went through it, with Glass even pointing out couple of specific issues but found the rest satisfactory.
 
Is the rest of the SW's tabber (once these two changes are integrated) ready to be applied?
IIRC pretty much.

Basically the same verdict as Saman then. I'll just remove it from the OP since it doesn't seem to be applicable to anyone else.

I crossed out the Oblivion stuff Profectus disagreed with

I removed the 8-C storm stuff from the OP a while back
 
Yeah that seems to be the end of that mess.
Okay. What has not been rejected by any staff members here can probably be applied now then. Thank you for helping out. 🙏
I mean Saman disagreed with resistance to deconstruction entirely but IMO Lephyr's solution of it being applicable to forcefields is the best outcome
 
Please elaborate regarding what needs to be evaluated, preferably by including a scan. 🙏

Okay. I agree with Lephyr's solution in that case. The Scarlet Witch apparently needs to actively defend herself to activate her resistance. 🙏

IIRC Saman also had issues with this:

What do you think?
 
He said to keep the empathic manipulation, just not specify that it was Hope, as the comic doesn't elaborate.
I thought the comic clearly indicated that she just drained the hope from him to make him a shell of himself, but that's just me.
 
I don't really notice any spefications regarding when Wanda did from the linked scans alone, other than banish him (and behave in a very unheroic power-abusing manner). 🙏

She's shown expelling something from his body (see the yellow silhouette), and then he collapses and rambles in a mentally shattered state before being banished.

Scarlet-Witch-Quicksilver-2024-4
 
That may just be a visual movement drawing style of pushing him backwards, without further specification. 🙏

We see a yellow visage knocked out of his body (in a different form than him staggering back), and it causes him to mentally shatter and just ramble. She clearly messed with his mind, especially given her statement of removing his hope.
 
Yeah, I fully agree that she removed the wizards hope now. Very explicitly stated from her.
Yes, but she behaved like an extremely power-abusing and evil villain in the process. I think that I like the current handling of the Scarlet Witch even less than that of Storm.

I very strongly agree with positive feminism based on genuine equality and protecting women from real world abuses, not whatever this extremely destructive casually sadistic power-tripping supremacism is supposed to be about.

Anyway, the revision is accepted, but I now think that Wanda is an evil asshole, so congratulations to her I suppose. 🙏

Tbf the Wizard was threatening her family's lives, so it makes sense she wasn't in a merciful mood.

@Eseseso, if you haven't you can apply the sections on the SW we have accepted. Let me know when you do, so I may close the thread.
Currently working on the SW revisions, I've already applied the revisions to every other page.

Casually subjecting a completely outmatched opponent to a fate worse than death out of a supremacist sense of entitlement is still completely unacceptable behaviour though. It seems like Marvel Comics is just turning more and more morally diseased over the years due to the writers and editors. Even Thor recently stole the soul of a torture victim. Seriously, does that sound like in-character behaviour? 🙏

Let's leave that for the discussion thread.
 
Please write the exact titles of all the pages that you want unlocked in regular text format, so we can help you out with our page-unlocking program. 🙏

Thank you, but I already got them all unlocked and applied the last few revisions. This thread can now finally be closed.
 
Wait a moment please.

Have those pages been locked again already? 🙏
