Critically acclaimed? Really? THe first issue was Booooooring with just Hawkeye beating up some goons, and you're claiming it's Critically Acclaimed?
Whatever?
Hate to pour water in all that whine (since it isn't ancient Greece) but you understand basic marketing or what a critic is, right? To perhaps be a bit more enlightening, remember the film Bridesmaids? Remember all the positive reviews and commercials hyping the hell out of it? That was well receive / critically acclaimed and I honestly thought the film was mediocre, with a predictable ending / running half an hour longer than it needed to - but my personal opinion doesn't stop it from being critically acclaimed.@Dman1366 said:
I think he is thinking a reboot is bound to happen given how @#$ed Marvel Earth is right now.
I loved Bridesmaids, but I get you. I mean, I was bored out of my mind during Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and everyone acted like it was the funniest movie I ever seen! Still, I think people are overpraising AoU 1 when it was just mediocre and the arc was, well, not that good.
And they aren't rebooting. Why do Marvel NOW and then reboot everything that just got started? It makes no sense. Further emphasizing that AoU really is out of place because it was supposed to come out 2 years ago.
DC launched a lot of books right after Brightest Day only to reboot a few months later....maybe Marvel had planned on rebooting two years ago when this was intended to start but because of DC's reboot they decided to hold it off.....I hope I'm wrong...but another thing to point out is that Bendis and Quesada felt that they couldn't trust anyone else with the ending of AoU and decided to do it by themselves and apparently are the only ones at Marvel that know how the book ends at this point
They AREN'T rebooting. Marvel NOW is a smashing success. And Hickman said he's planned out 5 years of Avengers stories.
Age of Ultron is just a Bendis story that took too long to be made that they're shoving it off onto the public and acting like it's important, when really all it will do is probably kill Hank Pym.
well since you know of Marvel's plans then I'll take your word for it.....I'm just pointing out evidence that could point to a reboot
Except it's not. Avengers Arena is still going, Avengers will be going on for years, Guardians of the Galaxy just started, and so many other titles. Why on Earth would they reboot?
EVERYONE knows the stories of these heroes. A reboot would do nothing, especially since the movies are the reboot.

@broo1232: The DnA Guardians of the Galaxy book was FANTASTIC! This Bendis book though? He basically did the same story Loeb did with his Nova. Right down to the bully scene. And even worse, Starlord only cares about Earth now? When before he was going on about how Earth was insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe?
I guess everything has to be daddy issues and NYC being the center of the Marvel Universe.
Though, GOTG bothered me. Mainly because Starlord saying FU to the rest of the galaxy and only defending Earth. Just seems to encourage isolationism. "To hell with other nations, just save America." That shouldn't be what the GOTG are about.
Also, Starlord loved his dad. They even went on adventures. Why the Daddy issues?
