How would you reboot the Marvel universe?
>>
>>151990266
Why?
>>
>>151990313
because it's been irreversibly damaged by hacks, of course there's no point in rebooting until they get rid of those hacks and find some decent writers
>>
>>151990313
As a thought experiment
>>
Do a Mad Libs-style replacement of Heroes Reborn Avengers setup (like making Wasp the daughter of Kang or have a Nighthawk who seems like his name should be Darkhawk) and then make it up as I go along if it really lasts longer than 3 months.
>>
>>151990266
I wouldn't
>>
>>151990266
The last thread got taken over by every marvel focused schizo on the board. It’s not worth making these.
>>
>>151991184
What if you made a pitch that referenced every single one of those?
>>
>>151990332
What good is that gonna fucking do when the hacks are still in charge?
>>
The Fantastic Four are all in their 80s or older, with only The Thing actually still being alive, but some super-powered grandchildren are around. Yuri Gagarin was one of their arch-enemies because he also was bathed in Cosmic Rays. Eventually they came to an understanding, but he was assassinated by the USSR.
Spider-Man has one of those comic book Irish accents (me fecking aint), despite actually not being Celtic. Lives in subsidized housing with far more people than it is safe to have in such a small area. His web shooters are built from discarded materials from ESU.
Wolverine is a badger New Man who calls himself Wolverine because it sounds more impressive. Already knows everyone.
Iron Man is a Greek automaton powered by human souls that was designed for waging war against the Amazon tribe. After being dormant for thousands of years, is awakened in the modern day and looking into alternative energy sources. Hercules vaguely remembers him.
Captain America is a series of super-soldier clones with implanted memories the US government deploys once it became cheaper than training regular soldiers. The "main" Captain America is one who questioned his purpose after realizing how many people he killed on orders. He lives under the false identity Roger Stevens.
Thor and Hulk are exactly the same as usual.
>>
>>151991245
Now I’m curious how Gwenschizo, Milesfag, Lokifag, Tommy, Gwenschizo’s counter trolls, ect. would fit into a marvel pitch. Maybe some villains/ “heroes” based off of them?
>>
>>151992056
Jackal and Anti-Jackal for some of them.
>>
>>151990266
Start by putting the Xmen in their own universe without heroes, or at least a very limited number of them.
>>
>>151992262
That seems like it would exacerbate the problems with the X-Men. Unless your goal was to shift those to someone else and write non-X-Men stories.
>>
>>151990266
Fire every single employee
Force Disney to sell it off
Reset the timescale so that nothing after the 21st century ever happened (or, if you want to be harsher, nothing past the 80s)
Get rid of the stupid sliding timescale bullshit, just leave aging ambiguous and have characters refer to things in real time
THEN start considering changes to the universe and/or cast
>>
>>151993177
>Get rid of the stupid sliding timescale bullshit, just leave aging ambiguous and have characters refer to things in real time
So get rid of the sliding time scale to have essentially the same thing?
>>
>>151993216
Let me explain the differences for you.

>Sliding Timescale
“Four years ago, I was a pilot in the Siancong War.”
*ten years later irl*
“Seven years ago, I was a pilot in the Siancong War.”

>Ambiguous Timescale
“I fought in World War 2 eighty years ago.”
*ten years later irl*
“I fought in World War 2 ninety years ago.”
(Character looks the same.)

probably reboot to 2013/2014 would be best

have dark beast be a main villain by dropping in to AoA and stopping quicksilver from sending him to the regular timeline so he actually arrives at the m'kraan crystal as planned

try a time skip with the long lived characters. this means not only gods, but also characters with healing factors, regeneration, or super endurance. captain america, beast, wolverine, hulk, thor, loki...
korbinites like beta ray bill already have long lifespans but he's even further advanced.
anyone with the power cosmic could live longer

go back to one or two 2099 titles. preferably ghost rider 2099 and spider-man 2099

make midnight sons a flagship title, with dr strange as the leader with moon knight, blade, magik, juggernaut, the ghost of druid, wong and scarlet witch. guest star other magic user characters

x-23 and punisher have a team up title, they take out pedo rings and stop human trafficking, protect sex worker unions. daredevil and other street level characters could guest star at times

have transonic go in to outer space from two or three new power ups. she can be a living spaceship for other marvel characters

some of the mutants either retire or go on hiatus and have kids. get cyclops and jean grey out of the picture and live off the grid not too far away from other couples doing the same

change the status quo to humanity accepting mutants more

change the setting so earth 616 has technological advancements and becomes more peaceful. this will force many of the characters to figure out what they want to do with their lives. maintain stability, retire, or seek to help people in other worlds
>>
>>151990266
they already did it 8 times, last time was that awful 2015 secret wars storyline and I dropped Marvel comcis forever.
>>
>>151990266
No need to reboot
>>151991938
All shit ideas, thanks God you don't write at Marvel
>>151993978
>make midnight sons a flagship title, with dr strange as the leader with moon knight, blade, magik, juggernaut, the ghost of druid, wong and scarlet witch. guest star other magic user characters
Not sure about putting all magic users in the same team but Marvel should create and office for the magical side
>>
>>151994946
They never did a reboot
>>
>>151991938
Creative

Give hickman a pound of cocaine and a blank check. And I mean the good stuff from the 80's not the crap laced with fent and baking soda and tell him.
Break stuff in the marvel universe on a cosmic scale. And use Thanos and or The Maker to do it.

Rebuild from there.
Go over every single piece of media and idea of what makes certain hero's popular with the normies.

Create Iconic versions of these characters and start the entire universe in full swing. They've been doing this for a lot of years already and have a full bible on what did and didn't happen to the major characters and past characters in the major universe

All problematic IE completely fucking retarded story decisions are now apocrypha. Anyone who complains are permanently blackballed from the marvel offices. No your fucking stupid as shit idea that no one in comics or movies or cartoons likes that you're hoping to get royalties from will make it. Fuck off.

Spiderman is happily married to MJ gainfully employed semi-retired and their expecting their first kid.

Cap was thawed out years ago and is still adjusting to things and being a noble hero in an american costume

Ironman is still a military industrial complex refugee that's fighting to maintain his empire elevate humanity and be a hero at the same time

Thor's adventures are more GoTG like with major nods to kirby and their entire storyline carefully picked over and curated to create a stable history for asgard and thor.

Hulk is Bruce Banner scientist and I would make Grey Hulk his first form and the one he reverts too as Mr.Fixit but his Green Hulk form is him having a temper.
What hulk form he's in depends on the situation and what emotional state he's in. Savage hulk when he's fully enraged.
Mr.Fixit when he's angry and depressed
World breaker when he's Rage Hulk and Banner personality
Professor hulk when he's banner but with hulks power a form he learned to create

Fire all the sjws. Tell guards to shoot them if they are close to the building.
Moore, Morrison. This is your home. Feel free to come and write wonderful stories with our characters. Do whatever you want with them. Oh, and could you solve the OMD mess, please?
Real continuity. Characters will grow old and die. And they won't appear in more than 2 series.
No more decompressed narrative.
No more Ultimate universe.
90s characters: kill them off. Fuck Cable, Deadpool and all that shit.
Creative Commons licenses for all Marvel products.
Epic Illustrated v2. European and Latin American stories.
Spanish translations of books. It's the second language of the US!
Republish pre-1990 material and let 90s books rot in the cellar.
Punisher out of 616 universe.
Give Moon Knight a decent writer, for Jack's sake.
Don't charge more than 2 $ per issue.
More translations of foreign material (yes, including manga)
A Vertigo-like collection.
Fuck crossovers and events.
Less splash pages. We are telling a story, you know.
Aunt may dies forever.
Iron man: he fell into a puddle and got rust. Killed off or a B-list again.
Writers and artists keep the copyright every time they create a new character.
Characters can smoke or take drugs if necessary or cool.
Put the ads at the end of the story. No more interruptions.

>>151990266
Hell if I know, you'd start to reboot the line then get rug pulled as the higher powers say lol the plan was always two years.
>>
>>151995604
All dogshit idea, amazing
>>
>>151995604
Kill off deadpool who is the face of the marvel universe since they raped both spiderman and the xmen...and waste talent on fucking moon knight an e list character no one has at any point given a fuck about outside of memes of him being crazy as shit.

>>151995609
First thing is to fire everyone in the marvel offices and remove the indian bird who forces her political messaging into the comics.
No, no one fucking cares or likes Kamalla Harris...sorry Kamala Kahn.
>>
>>151995604
>bitches about the 90s
>thinks drugs and smoking is cool
Make up your mind
>>
>>151990332
Yeah but if we're talking hypotheticals, rather than discussing Profits in a boardroom, how could you advocate for anything other than retiring all this old tired shit and paying for people to write LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE besides these same goddamn characters over and over
>>
>>151995627
Then you don't want marvel.
You should read indie comics. They need more readers.
>>
>>151995637
I want the big 2's money to be redistributed to people who are actually creative
