I swear I'm not the OP for #19
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.
