gonna be todays purchases (comics ed) ongoing forever thread

[jerbear]

what did you guys think of colossus turning into a big monster in uncanny

yeah i don't get this bullshit either? he's the juggernaut now too or something? kill him off too.

[jerbear]

lets make a list of characters we hope die in this thing, so far we have:

cyclops
colossus

[jerbear]

throw the red hulk in there i have no idea whats going on with all these hulks anymore

[hey look]

im totally ok with colossus having cyttorak or whatever in him

[jerbear]

oh i missed:

luke cage

i see your spiderwoman and raise you black panther. it'd set storm right off which could be pretty cool tho i dunno who leads the xmen when cyclops gets offed. rogue maybe iunno.

[manvstrees]

did you guys just not ever read any of the good x-factor stuff or even 1990 xmen or what
i mean i know for a short while havok was "what if cyclops was cool", but that ended in the 90s

cyclops>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>storm is my point.

[manvstrees]

cyclops's era is over only because no one can really write him well right now or do anything cool with him
which isn't to say he isn't awesome

if he died and magneto and rogue took over for real my mind would be blown

[Rhodes]

To be fair, I've never cared about Storm, either.

[jerbear]

Remember the 90's maaaaaaaan

[SNC]

Storm should get her Mohawk back

[manvstrees]

Remember the 90's maaaaaaaan

no we are in no way talking about 93-99

[hey look]

im re-reading xombi right now.

best miniseries

[Rhodes]

That book rules.

[Beyerstein]

im totally ok with colossus having cyttorak or whatever in him

you're a fucking asshole. colossus in the juggernaunt helmet is the most annoying, uninspired thing on the planet

also colossus, storm, and the real nightcrawler need to be on the x-men.

[Beyerstein]

how come regular juggernaut never turned into a monster

[reepicheep]

The best thing to come out of this shit event would be to wipe the past 3-4 years of Xmen continuity away.

Like I would have absolutely no problem if Nightcrawler suddenly teleported from the grave alive and well. Or the phoenix burned away cyttorak from colossus. Wolverine reminded the writers that he has regularly used children in the past and is not all of a sudden some gentle fucking uncle figure. oh yeah and stabbing someone to death doesn't do shit to the phoenix.

Cyclops as sole leader is an interesting idea, but he needs new writers.

The idiotic one liners as explanations for fearing the phoenix are really irritating me. "Wasn't Rachael a phoenix host?" "Yeahhh... but uh she was hard."

Is Wanda supposed to be an autistic retard now or something?

[reepicheep]

the roundtable approach does not work for an event like this, we need a single vision.

[Beyerstein]

yeah wolverine is sposedta be dangerous and animal like. he doesnt run a daycare

[creationist]

i thought it would be interesting to watch, replacing professor x's idealism with scott's pragmatism...

scott's moral compromises and spock-style utilitarianism dragging him gradually towards the dark side. they even added magneto to the team as if he needed a push. i mean really, where else does the character have to go?

i guess they don't have the guts to have him lose his way completely and become the team's new foil, a more modern magneto, but it would certainly be interesting to watch.

[Beyerstein]

cyclops and the brotherhood of evil mutants

[manvstrees]

the roundtable approach does not work for an event like this, we need a single vision.

that's the core of it, yeah
fuck of an idea in the first place

[manvstrees]

one very fuckin stupid thing is a bleak kill squad x-force that scott set up, only to put him back on the boy scout side by declaring it over and having it continue against his wishes
if he's going to be this pragmatic guy who's veering towards magneto, then keep doing that

[Beyerstein]

what if cyclops merged with apocalypse

[reepicheep]

if somehow no mutants end up getting their powers back, Cyclops needs to have magneto rip utopia back into space... and yeah turn into the brotherhood, what else could he do now.

[manvstrees]

scott should visit the school and instantly try to kill young apocalypse

[manvstrees]

if somehow no mutants end up getting their powers back, Cyclops needs to have magneto rip utopia back into space... and yeah turn into the brotherhood, what else could he do now.

who even lost their powers? no one really.
utopia should be asteroid m again though, absolutely

[Architecture]

Flash was pretty bad, Aquaman was pretty good, All Star Western was okay, Super Crooks was awesome

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit down and read the whole Omega Effect crossover (I've been waiting like three weeks for this)

[manvstrees]

i'm just thinking about the watxm/uxf issues i'd write with cyclops taking off his visor when he sees kid apocalypse and the ensuing fantomex/cyclops fight
such a no-brainer

[Beyerstein]

can you imagine driving the wrong way on the freeway head on into a truck full of comics

[Rhodes]

I'd totally be down for Utopia/Asteroid M, yeah.
