Yeah! I know these people are being sarcastic but I get a kick out of it anyway because, well, I genuinely prefer this to the other end of the spectrum. Which they tried, and it didn't work because pacifist moralizing judgeypants superheros are no fun. I gave up on Marvel being able to arrest his long slow descent into suckiness and so did they. I thought they were going to bring him back evil, but this is even better. Less time wasted on boring religious angst, more blood and wisecracks.Kurt bitches about X-Force so they kill him off and replace him with VICIOUS Kurt as a member of X-Force.lol i hope he murders lots of people.
I hope all the characters talk about how much better this Kurt is since he's not the X-Force buzzkill.
very exciting news. i can't wait to see whose head nightcrawler teleports off first. good job, marvel.
In issue 11, Kurt tries teleporting Deadpool's head off, but it was a mindtrick.very exciting news. i can't wait to see whose head nightcrawler teleports off first. good job, marvel.
It sounds like you haven't actually read Uncanny X-Force. I hadn't either before making my previous post but I've started them now. At the end of the third issue the team comes up against a major moral quandary and the resolution was so powerful it gave me goosebumps. There were foils and consciences aplenty. All the wisecracking up to that point made a stark contrast to the end where no one was laughing.Angelique wrote:You know, they have Deadpool and Fantomex for the blood and wisecracks. This is not an improvement. When all the characters are about blood and wisecracks with no foils, no concscience, it can actually get monotonous.
Cripes, I would hope not. This is not a kid-friendly book. I think you are underestimating the market for the new style though. Marvel is going for mainstream appeal. (Finallyyyy.) They may lose some fans but they are likely to gain more in the long run.Indigo_Lady wrote:I won't be buying these dark comics for my kids either, nor will I allow them to waste their allowance money.
Does this mean there will be outrage about his pants, and bemusement about the size/shape/presence of his collar?Also I see Marvel is pulling a DC. By doing this, Kurt is no longer Dave Cockrum's character, he is a What-If version. Same thing they did with Batman/Superman/Flash/ the rest of DC. They were losing money and couldn't make bank paying the creator rights.
Matter of fact, the solo series was about him being a supernatural investigator, a concept quite unique in Marvel comics up until today. The only reason it didn't work is because Marvel is criminally negligent regarding its mystical properties.Ult_Sm86 wrote: And the Solo Series? Are you serious? That's all it was about. The 12 issue run, right? It was him as a priest hunting down some human traffickers and gun peddlers. He was shot and bleeding for like 6 (haven't read in awhile could be more/less) issues and his faith in Xavier and God is what kept him going.
