ITT: characters being unceremoniously killed off.
>>151325506Mettle returned in Avengers Infinity online comic back in 2023
>>151325506It was a great death, tho. It really elevated the stakes of the book and helped to make Hazmat grow as a character.
>>151325506Imagine I posted the cover of Infinite Crisis
It couldnt get any worse than this
>>151326682shut the fuck up faggot
>>151325506
>>151327844It was a good way to go. His death was so raw that left a permanent impact. To the point that even his return is overshadowed. This could have been a great way to make Hazmat a prominent character but Marvel squandered this stroke of genius.Now even she and him are just a diluted version of their glory days of Avengers Academy.
>>151327797It's this. This is a family guy joke but in an actual dc story. And in the animated version, flash somehow jobs to sawblades
>>151326682Fuck off and die, Dennis.
>>151328268You know that I ain't wrong. Because Mettle has been resurrected, Hazmat isn't confined to the containment suit and you still are being focused on this moment. Because it was the last time they were properly treated as characters.
>>151325506Fortress of our Hearts. The Mettle in our Souls.I'll never forget.And the bullshit they brought back in the gay webtoon doesn't count.
>>151328315You're an idiot.
Does this count or is it disqualified for being cover bait?
>>151327797Guy's wily e coyote style death is also up there
>>151326174Great, did Juston?
>>151327880Never fully read the sequels, does the original get got killed by a doppelganger?
>>151329282The original gets killed by a time-displaced version of her younger self, who then replaces her as the main character.
>>151328543He kind of came back in the Sentinels series from last year.
>>151325506Even ignoring Avengers Arena, I always thought Aracade was a shit character.
>>151326174that was Fortress
>>151326682
>>151325506Top 10 least liked caracters should die each year in Marvel and DC.
>>151329367well duh he's an X-Men antagonistthey come in the shape of mutants who are exactly as dickish as the X-Men but differ in their methods of achieving mutant supremacy, aliens who secretly rule the universe and are planning to invade earth (a planet they already rule), and wacky guys who you can't kill nuh uh because they have an invisible force field and if you say you can beat them they'll tell mom
>Introduced from the begging as a core aspect of the book>Possibly the character with most development after Songbird and Atlas>Gets introduced to another teenage superhero >Now goes to high school having tons of opportunities for new stories and balance the constant fighting of the last issues>Literally off panel deathHonestly should I even continue to read the T-bolts . The nigger kid is half as interested and worked better as a duo with Jolt.Also not liking what they are doing with BeetleIs there anything good after the few firsts archs.
>>151329303It's not even the only time she is killed unceremoniously, a later arc has her be absorbed by the main villain and it never acknowledges her existence.
>>151325506I never understood why people make such a big fuzz about this page. People want comics to have stakes and when they finally have it, the same people got batshit.Also the guy returned like one year ago and nobody seems to care.
>>151330344Is this convergence?
Rest in power Deathcry
>>151332315>People want comics to have stakesDoing things for stakes is the worst kind of writing. You have multiple years of awful events and characters getting killed of for that.
>>151330344Wasn't she made for this comic?
>>151333523Nope, she was created in 1991. Most of the deaths in AA were OCs though.
>>151327797>>151328162This is an AU thoughbeit. Important characters die stupid, avoidable deaths in AU stories all the time, one of the big draws of AU comics is that things DC or Marvel would never dare do in the main continuity can happen.It's a stupid death, but it's not the main real Nightwing, it's one from an AU where a lot of heroes died or turned bad, so who even cares?
>>151330280Jolt and Zemo both get killed by Fabian Niceiza but come back to life. Keep reading until you get to #75 S that's the preferred jumping off point for the book quite frankly
>>151332315>big fuzz
>>151333606It's still fucking stupid. And being an AU doesn't automatically give you a free pass for retarded writing.
>>151333665I Jeff Parker's Bolts, but it's an entirely different kind of comic.
>>151333442Avengers Academy, that was Red Raven II.
>>151333523Most of the new characters in Arena were created for Avengers Academy. There was a planned arc where Captain Britain and Megan would open their own young hero school and Arcade (who was arch enemies of Captain Britain) would kidnap his students and Hank and Tigra's students and make them fight each other The plot had to be scrapped because of AvX and the fact that the few remaining issues of Avengers Academy had to be used to wrap up the series. But it got revived when they decided to do a follow up with the characters, needing canon fodder and what not for Arena
Almost all deaths in Crossed, this is the first comic. ("almost" because I didn't finish the series yet)
>>151333814*Avengers Arena, her death was in the bery next same and her death probably would had been remember more as a cheap stupid death if not for Mettle innards exploding like a cheap firecracker.
>>151325506They killed Mettle?
>>151333784You're not wrong, but take some time reading Marvel's What If?, especially the 1989 volume, to get more of a picture of just how common it is for writers to do this in AU stories just because they can.It may be stupid, but it's a cape comic AU. This is what they're like. It's just not worth caring about compared with characters getting stupid unceremonious deaths in the main canon.
>>151333988What If books are specifically for showing a specific scenario change. They still need to be written well to justify why things would turn out the way they do. Stop making excuses for them. Demand them to actually be good.
>>151333871Crossed isn't a good comic by any measure. It's the equivalent of shlock gore flicks where shit happens for the sake of shock and nothing more. When everything is "shocking" nothing is.
I dont have a picture of the entire opening of Transformers the movie (1984) to post
>>151325506dr. strange's death in ultimatim always freaked me out as a kid, seeing how easily earth's sorcerer supreme got taken out and in a "humiliating" way
>>151325506Why people are mad that Arcade finally killed Red Skull?
>>151334559This entire thread could be Ultimatum, frankly.
>>151334850That's Mettle
>>151333606It's still pretty unceremonious
>>151328315I also own a rock that keeps tigers away. Too bad I don't have a rock that makes you a good writer, Dennis.
>>151335720The writing was the best part of AA. It actually sold Arcade as a believable threat, Murder world/island always feel like a dangerous place and the reactions of the characters were raw. A controversial death doesn't substrates from the overall quality.
>>151334559>>151334854What the fuck was Loeb's problem, anyway?
>>151336434IIRC he had lost his son recently and that affected his writing.
>>151325506Hate him all you want, Carnage should only be killed in a Spider-Man or Venom book.
>>151336434Son died of cancer.
>>151336565Fuck killed Sentry by ripping him in half, so it evens out.
>>151328476I never understood why he had to die here.Like, your quiver is just on fire haha..... dumbass just take it off.
>>151327797He tanked that
>>151327880>>151329282>>151329303This is the most retarded writing decision I've ever seen.
bump
>>151325506Adam from hazbin hotel, I guess. Doesn't get more uncerimonious than stabbed by the maid.
>>151327797Injustice was so kino. Those storytimes were some of the wildest rides I've ever seen on /co/.
>>151327797>>151333606>>151333784>>151335708It gets even worse when you remember that this is supposed to be the series' most impactful moment. That leads to Damian turning on his father and joining Superman's regime. He fucking falls over and cracks his neck on a rock
>>151325506That's ass.
Whatever you think about this page at least I appreciate that Kev Walker draw Hazmat with such big cleveage on her suit.
>>151340864
>>151340864Desu she was not used that much prior
>>151336434Depression + editorial told him to clean house
>>151340864>Unceremonious>Arc is literally named after her
>>151341950Shhh
>>151327797welp
>>151338673the MMORPG with the penguins?
