Posted in Off Topic

Ok, so...

The Avengers disassembled...

Hawkeye dies...

All the mutants lost their powers...

Except for all of the X-Men...

Wolverine can remember his whole life...

Nick Fury decides to have a war with Latveria...

And makes everyone forget about it...

Except for Latveria...

S.H.I.E.L.D is pissed...

Nick Fury gets fired from S.H.I.E.L.D...

Avengers REassembled...

Spider-Man's an Avenger...

The New Worriers get a reality TV show...

And blow up a city...

All super-humans have to register with the government or go to the Negative Zone...

Captain America goes against the government...

Captain America dies...

Government wins...

'Cept for Luke Cage and his band o' marry unregistered heroes...

Hawkeye comes back from the dead...

Tony Stark's the director of S.H.I.E.L.D...

The Hulk tries to break the earth...

And gets his butt kicked by a puny satellite...

Rick Jones dies...

The Hulk's red now...

But it's not Bruce Banner...

Red Hulk kills Abomination w/ gun...

Rick Jones is the NEW "A-Bomb"...

Spider-Man forgets he was ever married to MJ...

And so does the entire Marvel Universe...

Bucky Barnes is the new Captain America...

And Cap is packing heat now...

Original Cap had got jiggy with Sharon Carter...

And now shes got a baby super solider on the way...

Loki's a chick...

The "Mutant Massacre" happens AGAIN only they call it Messiah Complex...

Cable takes the Messiah baby and goes on a time traveling-road trip...

Shadow Cat's dead...

Wolverine takes an atomic bomb and is still kickin'...

Skrulls are taking over the planet...

And no one knows who anyone is anymore...

And therefor the Skrulls could have been playing the biggest April Fools joke EVER...

Fooling us about everything...

So Marvel just might have a "do-over" on 2005-2008...

I think you can safely add the 3 month late Giant Sized Astonishing X-Men #1 to your WTF list.

Three months ago, we got an issue of Uncanny X-Men in which they announced that Shadowcat (Kitty Pryde) died while the X-Men were off on the Breakworld mission.

Now you would assume that, since Marvel isn't completely new to the comic book publishing game, that they would have been prepared and had that death occur before announcing it right?

Yeah...not how it happened.

This week saw the release of the much delayed 25th issue of Astonishing X-Men, and all I can really think to say after reading it is....

WTF???

The only answer I have to that question is that Joss Whedon has no freaking clue of how to actually tie up even the simplest of the story arcs and concepts he starts.

Spoilers below:

Collossus demands to know the weakness of the giant bullet thing that Shadowcat is in that's headed toward Earth. Then we cut away back to Earth where most of the rest of the heroes are currently standing around and drooling (literally...drooling.) courtesty of a completely unexplained Magical seizure from Dr. Strange.

They decide that the big bullet thing is in fact the prison cell that Collossus was originally held in. (you know..the one that Kitty phased in and out of once already?) And now she can't phase through anymore because "It's like it wants me here."

And so...Shadowcat instead phases the whole thing through the Earth...

Agent Brand reveals that she's an alien and wants to jump Beast's bones...

W.T.F.

X-Force on the other hand, kicked much butt this week!

Hiroshima was bombed in 1945. That was LONG before Weapon X was even a sneeze on the Goverments brain.

Not strictly true - Cap was Weapon I.

I'm adding this to the list.

Bam, thank you! Had I remembered that bit, I would have brought it up as well. It shows why it's just not canon for Wolvie to regen at the rate he's been shown recently. Then again, this is Marvel we're talking about... contradicting itself? Perish the thought!

Before Weapon X, but it's not like he was at the center of the blast. He was on the outskirts of Hiroshima and wasn't evaporated.

I thought it was getting bad when they were depicting Wolverine in a couple recent stories getting reduced to his adamantium skeleton and regenerating. He didn't grow back when the Sentinel fragged him in the Days Of Future Past story!

The outcome of the storyline with Azrael though was that his powers of regeneration are reduced - so supposedly the next time he's fried down to nothing he ain't coming back.

I've always been a fan of Wolverine since I bought Uncanny X-Men 107 at the 7-11 when I was a kid.

yeah, and I wonder if his atomic bomb incident was before or after the weapon x project

I seriously think that Len Wein smokes massive amounts of Kentucky Hash, which in my...uh...complely never ever tried it ever, opinion, will really, really, really f@ck you up! And I agree with Chancellor. Best. Cap. Quote. EVER!

His healing factor should have gone back down after he got his adamantium skelleton back, but instead they just keep freaking adding to it, and now, it turns out he keeps coming back from the dead because of a deal with Azeral!

Thanks much. Yeah, it's my favorite Cap quote ever. Good stuff.

wow I didn't know that. cool

Oh yeah I knew about that... messed up, I tell you.

Collector1 -

No worries, I can dig that. I wasn't referring to you or your opinion directly, man... it's just that your post reminded me of how much he's changed over the years and how much I miss the old version.

I think we can all agree that what he is now, is a lot better than the original idea for Wolverine. He was supposed to be revealed as a MUTANT MUTATED ACTUAL WOLVERINE created by the High Evolutinary and his claws were originally intended to built into his gloves. I sh@t you not.

I never said I liked his god like regenerative powers, I said I like his character.

Monday, April 28, 2008

yeah, in his new mini series (2 of 3) it was revealed that wolverine lived through the atomic bomb droped in Hiroshima. so... yeah, maybe I'll put that up there too, hahaha!

God I miss the old Wolverine... the one who'd take on a gang of thugs, get shot and actually look like he's in pain. You know, the Wolverine who had vulnerabilities. I hear recently he was melted down to his skeleton and was still walking around and regenerating. I guess he's got cosmic regeneration now. Who knew? I say bah.

Collector1 -

Monday, April 28, 2008

God, I hope you're wrong! I like Wolverine now, something that amaze's me as I used to hate him. The fact that he remembers his past now, is something called, progression of character. Same with Spidey and MJ. If they did that, it would be essentially a replay of the Clone Saga, except on a Universe wide scale.

good theory. I hope Quasada is killed in his sleep

No you're not Collector1, I love New Avengers.

Rick Jones is the Abomination now?!

Here's an unsettling thought / theory -

All the "heroes" that came out of the ship that crashed in the Savage Land are actually the real deals - all the other heroes that have been kicking around for years are sleeper Skrulls. So when it's all said and done this story will reset the Marvel U back to the way it was say about 1989. Wolverine goes back to being a really wild and crazy loose cannon and can't remember his past, Spidey never, ever actually married MJ, Jean Grey is still alive, Emma's still bad, yada, yada, yada.

And Joe Quesada has to go into hiding like Salman Rushdie.
