Remember when DC thought the Black Adam movie would be a hit?
>>150300504What's Adam up to these days? He's still a good character, like Sinestro. Also for the record, this scene is bullshit. Yes the Rock of Eternity is essentially the source of all magic, but Adam isn't juicing up the entire JL with it, he specifically says "A portion of HIS power". Black Adam may be powerful, but dividing it up among so many people essentially does jack shit. It's kinda like how you can run a thousand volts safely through people if you have it travel far enough. This is also kinda silly considering Diana already has deity blessings
>>150300504fun fact: despite being in some of the biggest movies of the last decade, the Rock has never headlined one as the male lead, only appearing in them as part of an ensemblethis is widely believed to be because he's a crap actor with limited range who takes bad roles in awful movies that pay well
>>150300504Are you telling me Billy could have done this the whole time and just chose not to?
>>150300504Wasn't that just Bendis doing his usual schtick of copying the movies in hopes they notice him and hire him for movies?
>>150300774He seems to be getting good reviews for that MMA fighter biopic. tho it ain't gonna change his rep since it's gonna flop cause nobody cares about that fighter
>>150301081No, it's from Dark Crisis by Williamson.
>>150300579>Black Adam may be powerful, but dividing it up among so many people essentially does jack shit.i think the iea is that adam's specific power protected him from the great darkness / pariah's influence, not making them stronger.
>>150300504My favorite is still the glowing star pasties on Donna.
>>150301394>pastiesJesus, that is one hell of a botched boobjob if her nipples are that high.
>>150301672It was done lightning fast.
>>150301390>i think the iea is that adam's specific power protected him from the great darkness / pariah's influence, not making them stronger.How is it different from Billy's?
>>150300504X-Men? Fantastic Four? Silly comic reader, those characters don't actually exist, now get your ass here and consume your favorite MCU characters
>>150301966You will get the Inhumans and you WILL like it.
>>150301966The attempt at sweeping them under the rug and disrespect was so blatant. And it backfired so hard with the X-Men because they're at their most popular when they're the underdogs, in and out of universe. I remember this tweet and someone sharing that the Captain Marvel book was selling worse than F4 and still got a relaunch.
>>150301966>>150302792>Marvel create ONE TRILLION new Inhumans>literally only 1 (o n e) sticks (Ms. Marvel)>she gets turned into a mutant because the MCU doesn't care about Inhumanslol
>>150302854Carol's book got relaunched like every 12-18 months for 5 years straight up until her movie and the Thompson run. Then once Thompson was left she went right back to not selling. The 2023 volume only lasted 10 issues lmao.
#litty
>>150301966Probably the most blatant example of this-culling all X-Men, the cornerstone the Vs. Series was built on, and replacing them with MCU-friendly picks
>>150302854This is kind of why I've grown suspicious of some posts and tweets that come off like the same kind of gaslighting Brevoort does about Marvel stuff. Once you see it, you can't unsee it
>>150300504The whole Ms Marvel debacle in Amazing Spider-Man and after to get her to become a Mutant
>>150305154>combofiend asked about this>knows the real reason but can't say it>if he said nothing then it'd be an admission anyway>pulls some "functions" bs out his ass and gets roasted for it
>>150303072Hey now, Moon Girl managed to stick too. But like Ms. Marvel, nobody ever brings up the fact that she's an Inhuman anymore, which still solidifies your point, especially since also like Ms. Marvel she wasn't originally intended to be an Inhuman when created but Marvel forced that in.
>>150300504DC spent like 14 years trying to turn the Suicide Squad into the a major part of the brand (despite it’s only big success was the horribly-panned-but-a-financial-hit 2016 movie). It wasn’t until last year’s awful Rocksteady live service game crashing and burning so bad that made them finally stop.
>>150300504Remember that time Mystique suddenly got scaly skin to match the then recent first X-Men movie, only for that to be completely ignored by later artists?
>>150300504how does this even work? even in the Fawcett days, its established that sharing the power diminishes the main Marvel's own
>>150305274The marketing was a trainwreck from start to finish
>>150300504And it would have been a bigger hit then Avengers if they hadn't produced a shitty movie.
>>150305461Disney was so fucking cheap and difficult to work with. Capcom got a raw deal.
The Avengers game, with their dietMCU aesthetic, the opening sequence being Disney self fellating over how amazing the Avengers are. Only to break them away and have you play as Kamala for most of the game. Fucking bravo.
>>150300504Remember when Bendis killed War Machine because he thought he would die in the Civil War movie?
>>150301966The worst part? The inhumans were FF support cast material.
>>150305786>BendisDo you mean Bendis, the famous comic writer who is often discussed here, on /co/?
>>150305786was about to post it kek
>>150300504Ult. Nick Fury was a bastard but really good at his job. Instead 616 got the diet version of him.
>>150305944And they also ruined OG Nick Fury when they were at it.
>>150300504>first one is Dick>second is unknown but we know he died>third one is unknown but he manipulated Brick>fourth one is Brick some literally who cares student who was likely meant to be Dick’s son in Future State>very blatantly leaving two unknown so people could think they were Grant and JasonAll DC had to do was have an unknown guy be roguish and charming and maybe have Dick be Red X somewhere in his history, but instead they do all that shit.
>>150301276yeah but is it really a step up from Tsunkatse?
A decade of Kamala's characterization and personality undone for MCU synergy
>>150305154>>150305274>>150305461worst part of this is Disney/Marvel's lack of self awareness in realising they where the problem in this whole shit and now they refuse to work with Capcom and went to Arcsys for future fighting gamesthe whole MvC collection was the biggest bait and switch ive ever seen a company pull, i wouldnt be surprised if Capcom is pissed as well because they where expecting a new colab
>>150306853Hoping Tokon makes the comics give her better, more adorable, synergy
>>150301672We'll just retcon them to be lower. She's used to retcons.
>>150300774He headlined Fast 8 and Hobbs and Shaw.
Do you guys think Harley's handling losing her title of most forced and overused DC character well?
>>150305786I'll laugh so goddamn hard if it turns out that MCU Kamala's mutant power is embiggening and that the comics went through that whole mess of giving her the placeholder TV budget VFX power for nothing
>>150307367Difference being Peacemaker's popularity happened organically
>>150307464>Peacemaker's popularity happened organically
>>150307464Harley's popularity was more organic than Shillmaker ever has been
>>150300504Never would we have more of this.
>>150306853she turned shit in her first volume with those awful mandatory crossover titles tie-ins, infamous wolverine one.
>>150301903Negligence.They never retrofitted Black Adam to accommodate all the dumb changes they've done with Billy, so Adam gets to keep all of the "actual master of all magic" stuff associated with the Champions of Shazam. It's like if they went back a did a bunch of retooling of the Superman family, but completely forgot that Conner's powers are mostly psychic in nature, so a writer down the line has him save the day when they turn The Sun red because that's not how his powers ever worked.
>>150307558Harley's ORIGINAL popularity was organic.Modern Harley's forced popularity started with nu52's Suicide Squad and was suppose to basically be DC's answer to Deadpool.
>>150309163Literally every movie is supposed to be DC's answer to deadpool. It's kind of embarrassing how obsessed WBD is with Deadpool
>>150309266Not the movie itself, but the character and his 2010s popularity in general. She was THEIR zany red and black, murderous action star with a heart of gold.
>>150300504I can’t believe this exist
>>150301394That's not how pasies work
>>150305531Disney killed the franchise trying to use Infinite as an MCU tie-in and let Capcom take the fall. And wasn't there something about not allowing Marvel characters to be damaged in gameplay trailers?
>>150302792>X-fags still seething about Inhumans
>>150300504Treating the Green Goblin like the Raimi version after No Way Home, down to Peter saying he was like a father to him and a good person deep down. Ignoring a decade of Eddie Brock comics where he hated the symbiote and killed symbiote users for being impure so he could be Venom again for the movie. The symbiote is also essentially the movie version now.
>>150310628That game was funny.>Mfw Ryu was a scientist who go around with Bruce Banner.
>>150310079Star shaped pasties do exist. But like the other anon said they're too high up to be over the nipples. You'll have to use your imagination and move them down a bit.
>>150307318>he headlined an ensemble castyou did not, sir
>>150311203He picked up a few things from Dhalsim
>>150311617He probably meant Hobbs and Shaw
>>150310637It's crazy how the Inhumans both looked worse off in that event despite the additional attention, have been utterly massacred in universe and the X-Men are currently getting gratuitously so many books yet they still act like victims compared to Fantastic Four fans who probably got it worse from the embargo....though I will say not having Wolverine in an MVC game is absolutely insane since he'd been in every game till that point.
>>150310637Everyone should still be seething about that
>>150306853Remember, Kamala didn't face any prejudice or problems untill she became a mutant apparently to writers.
>>150312229Clearly the racism experienced by real world minorities is nothing compared to the racism experienced by fictional mutants.
>>150312184yeah, but you see anonThe X-Men had three (maybe 2.5) popular cartoons. Fantastic Four had 0 popular cartoons. That's all that matters.
>>150312685If EMH was still going, a Fantastic Four spinoff cartoon with the same art style/writers would've been great
>>150300504And to think they tied what was supposed to be the final crisis event to it
>>150312895>tfw we will never get a Marvel cartoon not tied to the MCU anymore
>>150312895I doubt it. They probably would have gotten some appearances through>>150312951X-Men 97 isn't tied to the MCU.And I think we're past the worst of MCU synergy era. You can't wash the MCU stuff off everyone, but it probably won't be Avengers Assemble level.
>>150300504Is that why they did that?
>>150313022As far as I understand, '97 does tie a bit into the larger multiverse as depicted in the MCU, as well as some visual and musical references. I have not seen it however, so correct me if I'm wrong.
>>150313060They were pushing Black Adam for a while. Funny thing is that /co/ loved him in that event because he was opposed to the replacement Justice League led by Superboy.
>>150313093I only remember the MCU referencing the old show (like spamming the theme or the hoverchair for Xavier)
>>150312951At least video games have escaped the MCU vortex
>>150300579Just sitting on his throne. Last books I read with him in it were Shazam where he only showed up for an issue or two to fight Billy, and I guess he will be playing a part in JL Red.Did anyone read the Priest book that came out a while back? I kept up with it for a while but lost track of it in the second half.
