Well, if you listen closely to the dialog, there are enough indications that John Hurt is supposed to be a past version of the Doctor. When Clara is in that wasteland and she starts seeing past...

You know, I just had an interesting thought: if John Hurt is supposed to be the Time War Doctor--and I definitely believe he is--what if in order to stop say "The Skarro Degregations" "The Horde of...

Holy ******* **** that was AWESOME! Great way to close out the season and set things up for the 50th anniversary episode.

The reveal about how Clara was the impossible girl makes complete sense...

Which is exactly the problem Marvel could potentially run into with Superior Spider-Man, as I mentioned over on this thread. After all, Marvel has spent 50 years and billions of dollars promoting...

Sure. And it also depends on the quality of the writing.

To go back to the Kinghtfall example, one of the goals of that story was to remind readers why it was important for Bruce Wayne to be...

Oh, I believe that Peter Parker will return right around the same time, if not shortly after, the second Amazing Spider-Man movie as well, (and get a brand new #1 edition of the Amazing Spider-Man to...

I don't believe being more effective equates with being better either. Nor do I believe Marvel sincerely believes that better effectiveness equates with better people, either. What I am saying is...

But it's also tied into the concept that "the villains see themselves as the heroes of their own story," as well as the implied notions that they were potentially more effective heroes than the...

I would have to say Superior Spider-Man is different from the Clone Saga in this sense: the reason why fans got angry over the Clone Saga and why it nearly ruined the franchise is because Marvel...

It's not that much different than when Brian Michael Bendis promoted Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers during Dark Reign:



Now look at what Dan Slott said prior to Superior Spider-Man #9:

...

Based on what Bob Layton's had in his rough draft/synopsis on his website, I agree that "Gilded Cage" would have been a very interesting, provocative, and gutsy Spider-Man story, without question. ...

You know, this topic reminds me of a scene from the Howard Stern bio-flick Private Parts. In the film, the program director Kenny Rushton (played by Paul Giamanni) is becoming increasingly angry...

No, I'm pointing out that, when it came to Red Hood and the Outlaws #1, people took the advice that is often leveled at those who criticize a comic: "if you don't like it, then don't read it" (which,...

Well, the reason why I think it could end in the aftermath of the Trinity War is because their relationship is tied to it by John's own admission. Plus, there have been indications within his own...

Doesn't necessarily guarantee it will still be a romantic relationship when all is said and done. Not to mention it doesn't discount his earlier statement of "The thing about Wonder Woman and...

And that's totally fine, nothing against wanting to stick around to see if the series gets better or if there's more to the story. It's just that first impressions when it comes to...

Here's the thing though: if Starfire's characterization was "no big deal" then why would Tynion feel the need to retcon it so that Starfire has "selective amnesia" and didn't tell Roy the full truth...

Exactly! And it was because of that first issue that some readers and critics were turned off by the series.

(Oh, and for the record, I'm a he :smile: )





The first issue of a series...

It's because of those impressions reflected in those reviews and articles that Red Hood and the Outlaws--specifically it's characterization of Starfire--is why the comic has the reputation it has in...

Um, in terms of the reviews for Red Hood and the Outlaws #1, it absolutely was universally panned, primarily for it's depiction of Starfire.
...

There's a saying attributed to Thomas Aquinas which says "To err in the beginning is to err in deed." Such was the case of Lobdell's characterization of Starfire which was universally panned and is...

Well, this was a very dialog heavy issue (after all, it is Bendis) but there were quite a few interesting development here:

*Right away, we Miles quit being Spider-Man after the death of his mom...

Ah, but let's not forget that, given all the times Peter has fought Doc Ock in the past, he does know how Doc Ock tends to operate. And remember, if this theory is correct, then Peter does has more...

Yeah, I have to agree with you, RPM. The idea that Peter Parker has really been inhabiting the body of Norman Osborn is certainly one of the better theories (the other being he's in the gold octobot...

Just goes to show Doc Ock really couldn't go on with having mechanical limbs. And unlike Tony Stark when he created the Iron Spidey costume for Peter, Doc Ock also knows how to count. :tongue:
