Hah, yes, I confused you with someone else who had responded to me elsewhere >_< It has been One Of Those Days.

That sounds like a clusterfuck, and really OOC for Tony from what I know of the character (which is admittedly more towards the movies than the comics0. o.O Pity, as it sounds like an interesting idea but it sounds like the execution really sucked. :-\

Welcome to Marvel Comics. They do this sort of thing a lot and it really sucks. "One More Day," the Spiderman continuity reboot alone, my god. When DC wants to erase continuity, it's a universe-destroying Crisis. When Marvel wants to erase continuity? Satan. What makes it particularly insulting is that it shows just how much of a complete idiot Spidey is. I think Spiderman may be Marvel's single worst superhero. You know, if not for the fact that Joss Whedon directed the Avengers movie, I might actually have bothered to watch it because FUCKING SPIDERMAN ISN'T IN IT.

Marvel's editorial board needs to be lined up against a wall for the shit they've pulled over the last 30 years. Probably the only character Marvel has that's consistently written decently is Deadpool, which is hilarious because A) he was a more interesting ripoff of DC's C-list villain/anti-hero (depending on whether he shows up in Teen Titans or Suicide Squad) Deathstroke and 2) Rob Leifeld came up with him. I mean, Deathstroke's name is Slade Wilson for crying out loud.

I think what I also hate about Marvel is their pandering. The Spiderman 9/11 issue, holy fucking shit. You haven't seen anything until you've seen fucking Doctor Doom shedding a tear through that mask of his. DC has made a point of avoiding this, and their reasoning is that worse stuff happens all the time, everything from alien invasions (see: Invasion!) to outright complete destruction of cities (see: Death and Return of Superman) so to dedicate focus on real-life disasters would cheapen them and lessen their impact, and feel like pandering (see: Spiderman 9/11 issue.) It also brings up the side issue of how to deal with these real-world issues -- does Aquaman or Superman show up to stop the tsunami? But that would make it feel fake and kind of disrespectful, wishful thinking, because the tsunami still hit the real-world Japan.

Marvel has the opportunity to really make some great comics, if they would just. Stop. Pushing the writers around. And maybe be a little less transparently pushing their personal political views. And maybe get rid of Spiderman, that asshole.
