Wait, this is actually a debate? Of course they have too much emphasis on their "main" characters. But it's your responsibility as an adult to know how much you can afford to buy a month. I don't buy every book I want, though I desperatly want to. We shouldn't blame the companies for wanting to make money. And the Spider-Man/Wolverine cross over isn't half bad.
My bets are on Electra, Ghostrider-unwillingly-and the Punisher. In Frank and Electra's cases, however, may be more about saving DD from going too far.
I don't think it's the fact that he did kill Bullseye, but that coupled with everything else. If this were a normal day, most people would probably congratulate the guy. I mean, it's Bullseye. But this, coupled with the Hand and a few others things, just looks wrong. Think of it like a car crash; on a normal day, people would feel bad for you, but that would be it. But if it was something like a drunk driving accident, then people would be a little more concerned and enraged. I admit I did feel bad for Bullseye at the end. He really didn't realize what was going on. He thought it was gonna be like old times; make DD mad, go kill a girlfriend, then go play pool. It was all a sick game to him...My feelings of sympathy quickly passed when I thought about what his usual routine is.
I liked the Surfer's portrayal. The voice acting was spot-on, and the CGI worked suprsingly well. I mean, the character looked great and had a great presence. I wanted everyone else off the set so that I could enjoy the Surfer! But Galactus on the other hand...it wasn't so bad. But I hope they make a Silver Surfer movie one day.
People, most comic book writers are men. Sometimes, men do things they don't realize are offensive until someone tells them. Do I think it's offensive? Yeah, kinda. Do I think Marvel would appeal more to women if they had a Silver Surfer appreciation? A Gambit appreciation? More of Daken in a thong? Seriously guys, those would sell, and we would be appeased.
Let's give the guy a chance. He could be good as a younger Cage, and I don't think it would be too much for him to get a little more fit. Remember, in a movie, a too muscular looking character is just going to look stupid. My bigger concern is the movie itself. Luke Cage is not a good character to have all by himself. He's good in the Avengers, or with Heroes for Hire, but not by himself. Well, at least not as a straight Luke Cage. They may have to redo somethings,but I won't mind as long as it's still Luke Cage and good.
I thought the first issue was fun, Not too great, but I'm definitly excited to see where this goes, especially in regards to Jubilee. And I can't wait for Blade. Will he try and kill Jubilee, or has he grown soft thanks to Spitfire? Is Spitfire even in this crossover? We can only hope...I wish Morbius was in it...:(
I don't think we should put Wolverine, Joker, and Hulk in the same blender. Wolverine was around for years before we found out who he was. I personally like it. We now know that he's some old guy who life screwed him up, and is more reliable because of it. It makes his whole relationship with other characters more organic because we know he's not faking it. And we got Daken out of it. All is well. Joker is suppose to be unrelatable. Sure, we all have our own theories, but that's all they are. I don't want to know who he is because then he would just be another guy. But without it, he's the Joker. And then there's Rulk, who is such a Sue that he makes fanon characters look realistic. Knowing he's, you know, has actually made me rethink the character...kinda...Rulk is still dumb.
At most, I'll go with 2 classic seasons that people will be talking about for years to come. Then the third season will come and it will get axed or something. It will still win an award.
