The Revenant Marvel Comics Discussion Thread

[Antvasima]

Just a note that Jason Aaron did not severely mess up Thor's origin story after all in the recent "Avengers 1,000,000 B.C." comic book, as Thor's mother is still Gaea, the elder Earth goddess. In fact, the story was quite good in my mind.

It seems like my minor Wikipedia activism in that regard might have helped, as I publicly cited some of the occasions where it has been proven that Thor is Gaea's son in other stories via Thor's page there partially in order to prevent Aaron from destroying Thor any further than he already has.

However, Aaron still continued Matt Fraction's work to twist Marvel's version of Odin from a righteous, wise, brave, and benevolent ruler to a ruthless, chauvinistic, impulsive, and tyrannical massive bastard. That is more in line with the mythological version mind you, but nevertheless, I rather liked Tom DeFalco's interpretation of the character.

I absolutely despise Jason Aaron’s portrayal of Odin through and through

I despise most of Aaron's Marvel Comics work. He seems to twist and defile almost everything that he touches in a morbid, revisionist, partisan, propagandistic, mirthless, and recurrently rather nihilistic manner.

I support AIM because they all are wearing masks/suits. It helps protect them from Covid

BE LIKE AIM

 

[Antvasima]

Heh.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Agreed.

Yes.

No, she is supposed to be an eccentric nerd from "our" world that ends up on a one-way trip to a world of fiction, and ends up way over her head due to a combination of crazy antics and initially having no superhuman powers by Marvel Comics standards. I have also heard that she was originally supposed to be a fictionalised version of the former Marvel editor Heather Antos, but that may be inaccurate information.

Anyway, the name was likely just to get attention from a mixture of "Spider-Gwen" (a really dumb name and idea in my view) and Deadpool (a thoroughly unlikeable character) fans, but I still rather like the character, as I mentioned above.

the cosplaying thing came from her Wikipedia article on publication history

“After seeing how many fans were cosplaying as a character who was not even featured in any comic, Marvel editor Jordan White approached writer Christopher Hastingsand editor Heather Antos with the task of creating a story around her. They would introduce the character with a three-issue backup story in the ongoing volume of Howard the Duck (November 2015–January 2016)[4][5]”

Heh.

But uh the bad guys are all wearing masks.

Okay. Thank you for the information.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Okay. Thank you for the information.

your welcome.

also why aren’t the avengers wearing masks

if this comic is to promote vaccinations

cap, hulk, carol, and Natasha should be wearing masks.

 

[Antvasima]

It is just a simplistic promotion comic book. You should probably not read into it too much.

okay but i was just saying if they want to promote at least make the villains ones who don’t wear

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

ah brings back so many memories.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Glad marvel has it’s own Lego sets and games

though I heard Lego marvel superheroes 1 was better than the 2nd maybe I’m wrong

also if you get Stan lee in the game he has every power and stuff.

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

2-C / 2-A Baby Thor

 

[Emirp sumitpo]

2-C / 2-A Baby Thor

Thor got weaker as he grew older

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

2-C / 2-A Baby Thor

I mean, this is not inconsistent, Old King Thor says that every time he cried the whole Asgard realm there were storms when he was a baby, something that Odin himself noticed

 

[Confluctor]

2c via ED seems consistent

 

[Antvasima]

2c via ED seems consistent

I do not think that creating a storm spanning several universes counts as a tier 2 feat, as it is still confined to the regular three geometric dimensions.

 

[Confluctor]

"shook the 9 realms"

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, but shaking a universe is a 3-B to High 3-A feat if I have understood correctly, regardless if it affects 9 universes or not.

The Hulk has a feat of creating an earthquake across infinite universes, and that was only considered as High 3-A (and an outlier) by us.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

at least the Lego version of it can be lifted by anyone regardless of worthiness

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

at least the Lego version of it can be lifted by anyone regardless of worthiness

But can you lift it now?

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

But can you lift it now?

yes. It’s Lego it shouldn’t be that heavy.

Also a man on Lego ideas submitted this

unfortunately despite 10,000 votes it never got approved but hey nice x-mansion

 

[LordTracer]

I remember that thing, it’s a shame that it never became a real set.
