Old Cable isn't geriatric at all. Ageism is shitty

Do you like something *other* than Batman?

Yes, I do.

But you could have easily seen that just by seeing what books I review but I guess that wouldn't have been as passive-aggresive as "yOu oNlY lIkE bAtMaN".

But surely star lord becoming the master of the sun, the two moon dragons becoming one, Hercules joining the team as well as marvel boy, and the guardians now being policed and not a free lance team has changed a lot? I don’t see how we’re back to square one. Also I’m not trying to be like rude or anything I’m just genuinely curious

I think you unfairly underrate comics you don't like. I mean, for example, 1.0 to Zdarky's Daredevil? That's just insulting, not a honest rate. Square one? I do not understand your point. Maybe you wish some charachters have died or something, but, square one? Don't make me laugh.

I don't like anything he's done with Star-Lord. He's neither the soldier-ish version from the comics, nor the funny dude from the movie. He's a zen hobo who constantly looks unaware of his surroundings, kinda like Biden. Couldn't care less about the moondragons becoming one. And the Guardians now being police came completely of nowhere, he spent literally two pages on "building" that. More or less, they're in the same place they were in at the beginnig, nothing of essence has changed.

You don't need to kill characters to make them grow or change the position of the characters in their microverse. Hickman didn't kill anyone in HoX-PoX and he managed to completely reshape the mutants and their position in the Marvel universe. Ewing also didn't kill Hulk, he kinda destroyed the concept of killing Hulk if anything but he still managed to create a very interesting premise and a good run. This is clearly not that. This is just him self-indulging in the worst aspects of his writing.

" He's a zen hobo who constantly looks unaware of his surroundings, kinda like Biden." OMG I laughed at this. His star-lord is very crap. moondragon becoming one with a kiss was a choice, like really? just a kiss so they become one, esier and nonsense way to solve a duplicate. I agree that this run is self-indulging on his Ewigsms, no wonder sales for this are bad. he is writing just for the die hards

Yeah, they argued his whole run, there was absolutely no consensus and understanding between the two and then in a second they just waved all that away and they were all okey-dokey. Ewing is a good writer when he has some sort of editorial control over him, I liked his Immortal Hulk and his Loki but then left to his own devices he can be pretty terrible. I remember his pitch for what he wanted to do next with Loki and suffice to say, Marvel pulled the plug on it and with good reason.

He had a lot of space books and team books and he's not very good at neither, I feel like he's better on solo books. Though his start on SWORD so far has been pretty good.

If you think this is "back to square one" you haven't been paying attention at all

Absolute brain-rot on display with this review.

I did say I won't block you but if you keep spamming me just because I don't like what you like I'm afraid I'll have to roll back on that.

That sounds like hypocrisy to me.

From you? Sure. Weren't you the one complaining that I comment on your posts without bringing any arguments? It sure looked like that's what you did here.

Okay, well, we can talk about how most of the cast morphs from issue one to issue twelve, plus the numerous things that had to be set up to allow for the new status quo. These last twelve issues have achieved a ton, and this is in no way "square one".

For the characteres themselves, nothing changed. And what changed aka hobo-StarLord is pretty shitty.

You literally just said "The characters didn't change but how one of the character did change was bad"

Yes, what's the problem? I said the same thing in an earlier comment. For most of the characters nothing changed and for the one character that KINDA changed the direction was bad.

For Gamora, Groot and Rocket nothing changed. Moondragon and Phyla argued the whole book and then reconciled in one page all of a sudden, coming back to the initial stage of their relationship. Hercules is even more weak. The Prince was so cringey it hurt. The only character that Ewing treated well was Nova, that's the only thing I liked. And Cabal's art. A lot of minuses and very, very few good things.

So how is that square one?

Well, none of them grew, they're basically in the same position they were in before #1.

Moondragon is not even the same character as she was before issue one.

But her whole drama with Phyla went nowhere, they argued the whole book and at the end they were like "we're cool k". Great character development. :))

That's not where they left off though. They left off with Phyla admitting that she doesn't love Moondragon. That's not "we're cool K".

Yeah, she "doesn't love all of her" but she wants to "know it all", so they're still together, same as before #1. I'm getting really tired of this back and forth so long story short: I think this was terrible and I stick by it, you think this is good. It's just that I'm tired of all these comments and it's not like you're eager to move away from you what you think of the book and neither will I.

That's overly essentializing. I know you need to keep things basic, but the depth of the average comic goes beyond that.

Depth lol =)))) Yeah, sure, this comic was deep.

The joke was that comics aren't very deep, and yet they still go beyond your comprehension. You missing the joke is like a cherry on top.

The "joke" was no joke at all, or maybe it was all in your head and you forgot to write it down. :))

I get that it's your schtick to deny reality, but don't try to make it mine.

“Tramps and hobos are commonly lumped together, but see themselves as sharply differentiated. A hobo or bo is simply a migratory laborer; he may take some longish holidays, but sooner or later he returns to work. A tramp never works if it can be avoided; he simply travels.”

How is that misogynistic?

How is taking women’s suffering for granted not misogynistic? Tynion just blatantly ignored there were two female victims of Alan’s cowardice.

Alan literally says he loved them with all his mind, and he was hiding how he felt about men from even himself back then. This is something that happened to many gay men, especially one or two generations ago. But go off with you whiny BS I guess

@Bitchwitcher.I agree with you.This guy or girl only wants to whine for the sake of whining.

Imagine if men complain about female video characters killing more men than women in video games.LOL

FYI: Gay people cannot be sexually attracted to women. What he said is a plain lie to excuse himself. Did he tell his wives he is a gay? Did he tell the truth when he impregnated his wife? Of course it happened that a gay man used another innocent woman to avoid the pressure of the society, sacrificing a poor woman‘a life for his own sake and it’s a shame it still happens and many misogynists just like you consider it’s not a big deal. How proud you are to be one.

I’m talking about there are a group of women who are cheated by their gay husband in real life. They have to face with their husbands who don’t love them and are more likely to be infected with sexual transmitted diseases. This book understated women’s role in marriages like this. And you think it’s a joke like video games. See, that’s just what a misogynist do.

excuse me, but this kind of deception is aberrant and if there is misogyne, a man who does that to a woman is because he hates his gender, I have a friend who was in that situation, just because the unfortunate wanted to have a child.

That act is not only not of a superhero, it is not of a person with a little empathy, it is selfish.

You know alan scott has been gay in this continuity for over 10 years? This is the opening and combining of timelines so things like this end up happening. Infinite frontier is about what happens when ypu open up the entire timeline and a characters past all gets melded into one. The alan scott part is there to show how hypertime makes it work.

Its not alan acting any way! It's the timeline making it work

@MaudBenjamin if we want to blame this bizarre game of Who Wants To Be A Bigot then I could accuse you of homophobia by ignoring the societal pressure for men to marry women and have kids and to never ever do something so insane as to be gay. But I'm not gonna do that because you're clearly just a whiny troll with nothing better to do on a tuesday. Have fun sweetie

Gay men have had entire families with women. Love isn't just sexual attraction. This sort of thing was a lot more common than you'd think. No one was being used. Gay men go through denial and repress themselves because society and culture tells them it's wrong to be gay. This doesn't happen as much anymore because luckily, society has progressed when it comes to its treatment of LGBT people. Of course, your responses reveal your blatant homophobia, so I doubt you actually give a shit about women

People... this also has to do with every comic book version of a character coming together at once. Alan Scott was gay in the new 52 and when that character version was combined with every other one, you end up with a guy who is conflicted about his past. It’s a timeline thing as much as a moral thing. This isn’t a reboot of the character, it’s a combination of past continuities and shows how that causes character conflict.

Or are all looking at it as Alan Scott just deciding now. Imagine what would happen if there were 5.different versions of you and in an instant, they were combined together. What would happen if 2 of the 5 were gay, a different sex, good vs evil? That is what is happening here and actually sets up crazy possibilities with things down the road, not just about sexual preference, but in finding out what characters remember.

@Psycamorean Which part don’t you understand about Alan had two children with his wife? And I’ve said it, transferring the pressure from the society to another woman is selfish. Just because he feels bad doesn’t mean he has the right to deceive another people.

I know this is a continuity issue but I’m just mad how ill-considered it was done.

It's people like you that make individuals like Alan stay in the closet for so long living a lie. Grow up, accept that the world changes, and understand that life isn't always as simple as a comic book.

Oh did I forced gays to cheat their wives?

Nothing in the comic suggests he even cheated on his wives! And you know, people don't consciously decide, "I'm going to let society crush me today!" He never deceived anyone except himself! He loved those women, but denied himself. Which is a very common thing among gay people, and as I said, no one decides to do that, it just happens because people are complex social animals that are influenced by a multitude of things, both internally and externally! There's no morality debate here!

Repeating "a gay" over and over again really diminishes any real point you were trying to make.

Gay men aften cheat on their wives. How do you think he figured out he was gay? LOL

Just like straight people don't know they're straight until they've had sex, right?

Are you serious with that last part? " Straight people don't know they're straight until they've had sex"? Lol. Like that happened, EVER. :))

My point was that straight people don't have to have sex to realize that they are attracted to the opposite gender, and the same is true of gay people and their attraction to same gender. Maelstron thinks that gay people must have sex to figure out that they are gay. Maelstron is wrong. Maybe that clears it up for you.
