Bryan Singer on Ultimate X-Men.

Well, Marvel's gotta be kidding themselves... They've got Card and they aren't putting his stuff in boldface. His name is modestly put in the corner. Please.
 
I don't trust singer, I can't see him doing a good job. As for X-Men being the weakest series... I think Millar did his worst work on the X-Men, and Bendis did his best. And Vaughan is doing a kick *** job.

But if a writer decides to bring a dead character back... I'll not be happy. at least not with the UU. I'm happy colossus is back in 616, but the UU is more real.
Hell, I hated the X-Men movies, too dumb and silly for me... I Really hope he doesn't **** it up.

Wow....maybe your subnic should be "Mr. Negative"....:lol:



But you DO know that Singer is just plotting, right? The X-Men movie writers are doing the actual writing, and also that Vaguhan is sticking around for a few issues, to look over things.
 
Yo! That was pretty well rounded I thought, way to misquote me, mr. misquotatron ;)

vaughan and bendis doing great work I said too. I just don't want some guy to come into the UU line and ruin all the good work that's been done. No matter how good a writer is, if the idea is poor, it ain't gonna work. beast is dead, he should stay dead, he died for a reason, if they bring him back, i'll be royally pissed off. If he brings in blink in a cool storyline I'll be happier, because it's more unexpected than some cataclysmic event. there is more going on in the universe than just him, the X-Men are not the people to be creating new rules of the universe, that's for the ultimates, that's for someone I trust, not a hack director.

You know what I find funny? That you're already bagging on Singer, and you haven't even read his and the others worl yet. GW was the same thing. Why would you critisize and say so much negative crap like "he's gonna mess stuff up" and what not, when you haven't even read the solit for the first issue! :roll:
 
I...I... Well.... Ok, I can't think of anything good about singer. But only because I think he would be at determent to a book i am enjoying, and I think in general, the work on the series has been fantastic.

As I'm sure I've said before, the books are far better than the movies.

But that aside, iceman sucks...


:D
 
I'm saying I doubt his work from what I've seen of him as a director. It's a different field, but he has barely shown any creative thought or thinking that I feel should go into the UU, it's a world that is truer to real life, one that has to have a set of rules to keep it grounded. I feel that the last thing that the UU needs right now is someone who wants to make a name for themselves in comics on such a delicate series as the Ultimate X-Men. It's a careful balance this series, if he wants to experiment, let him re-invent X-force.
 
I was just reading the first few pages of this thread over, and man....remember when you guys thought Singer was for sure not coming on UXM, and I kept saying he would...


...Good times....:lol:

Probably for the same reason I do - I'm already put off by his ego and his desires to get the comic more aligned with the movie. That's 2 strikes right there.
 
I mean, I'm a little more open to his run since Vaughan is going to help him out for a bit, but think of it this way... This guy has pretty much made it clear that he wants to skip over the continuity business and start his own. That can't happen.
 
You're not bagging on me... You've just proven that you haven't read the above posts. The boy asks Wolverine how he found him and he said that Xavier found him on Cerebro. Another thing hidden in plain for you, Ice.

I thought that was supposed to be appearing on the cover...?

I wouldn't mind the inner page as much. It's still unneccessary ego-stroking but hey, whatever floats his boat. :roll:

Yeah well, there're multiple ways to look at having Singer's name on the book:

Perhaps Marvel didn't come up with the idea of "branding" their books with marketable names until now. It's an unscrupulous practice, to be sure, but one that only came to them like some delayed marketing epiphany.

Second, it's ego stroking that's on the part of Marvel rather than Singer himself. They're promoting a big Hollywood name as a creative force behind the book's direction, one who is arguably bigger than Whedon or Card, since neither have a multimillion dollar cash raking Hollywood blockbuster to their name or (relative) household/marquee value.

And technically, if Singer (as well as the rest of Ultimate Editorial) are behind the general plotting and direction of where Ultimate X-Men will be going from then on, then "Bryan Singer presents" isn't all that erroneous, no matter how iffy it may read to those who take the business of comics as one with serious ethical principles.

After all, who seriously buys the whole "Stan Lee Presents"? Stan Lee hasn't had a hand in the creative direction of Marvel for years. He's just a Chairman Emeritus and that means he basically gets a tenured position on the board of directors. And if anybody listens to Stan's interviews about the Marvel movies, he implies that he hardly sits in anymore on those meetings nor does he seem tor read the comics very often anymore.

Maybe you'd like to enlighten me as to what that has to do with Singer.
 
This post was supposed to have gone in another thread... I'm serious. I typed the message up IN that other thread and it found it's way here. MwoF, surely you understand; it's happened to you before, right?

Duplicate & redundant threads get merged. That's part of the reason why we have a "quote" button.

The thread still exists, though... I don't know why it would come here.

It didn't on it's own, but it's immaterial to the question. The conversation went like this:

Don't mean to bag on you or anything, but when has he "clearly" made that?

And I'm asking what the events of #41 have to do with Singer?
