Oh yeah! The moment where Colossus smashes a general's head in Ultimate X-Men 10 was pretty intense.

Ok I was gonna say not really, but damn this is awesome...

As imposing as he is, he's that gentle giant, and yeah of course has has amazing moments but apparently Colossus is not the guys button you want to push lol

It's what happened to Wolverine since he started appearing in every damn marvel comic, which is even before AvX. So many different authors writing their own interpretation of the character that we had him appear as a Mary Sue, a homicidal psychopath, a wise samurai, a hypocrite, and an angel all in one week.

@rabbitearsblog: that is, to a large extent, because independent comics have one writer, so there isn't any "I want to leave my own mark on the characters by ruining them" going on, and the whole comic series is usually one person's vision. Also, the companies and the editors give something near to total freedom to writers in terms of content.

@xwasright: And the bigger deal the character is, the worse it gets....a character having multiple writers on their own series is one thing, but once you start getting into crossovers in big expanded universes, then that character suddenly becomes the company plaything, with basically nothing but the core character history remaining constant.

@weatherwitch21: DC jobs my favourite characters.

And I suppose I've watched way more of DnC. Maybe to the point where I'm basically indoctrinated, but when the cringe is just right, I know he's right.

It’s the directors choice. It’s their movie they are making, and fans should respect that and be open to different ideas. However, it doesn’t hurt to adapt some fan theories into the story.

@gladeusex: I have gone through 1 2 and 3 except 2 except with me its storm. 4 umm dc kinda shits on my favorite characters as well so cant really say that.

5. there are good independent comics but will never ever say dnc was right.

Fandoms have always had influence over properties and always will. Without the fans there can't be any successful movies, television or books. So on the one hand listening to the fans can help a franchise be more successful but on the other hand olicity.

Only a little off topic, but I would personally argue however that non-fans of a franchise who become in charge of said franchise and changing shit up, could either be worse or just as bad as fan input to a franchise's direction.

I do not believe for a second that the directors and makers of the new Ghostbusters reboot were "fans" of the franchise. They skewer it under their personalized world view to make political statements. That is in some ways, much worse than fan inputed influence to franchises.

You also have to be careful of politicalists who are infiltrating our entertainment and media who are not actually fans of said franchises, but only wish for said franchises to appeal to their politics which is less preferable to fan media.

Not all customers or audience of a franchise are "fans" if they're only looking for the next power female character who has a tasteless character and is just a political caricature.

@rabbitearsblog: Me too and i guess the love of him with any girls is meaningless now.

@kgb725: Yeah but still ain't needed romance at all and just destroy all past relationships of bobby drake
