Avengers Dark Avengers series discussion (Spoilers)

Re: Uncanny X-Men series discussion (Spoilers!)

Though, I am surprised that Dark Beast was still able to walk after getting stabbed by six Wolverine claws and one Warpath knife in the chest.

With so many operations that guy's done, I wouldn't be surprised if he did some on himself and gave him more something-or-whatever to help him.


Though it's damn awesome that Dani is gonna be a Valkyrie again!! :rockon:

Dude, Hela=:drooling::drooling::drooling:
 
I'm really Loving Daken. Especially in his Dark Wolverine book.


Hom hitting on Venom and Bullseye is hilarious.
 
In #11, Molecule Man eliminates all of the Dark Avengers.

This comic confuses me. I can't tell if all of this Molecule Man stuff is going to be a big thing. It seems like it should be considering how powerful he is but it appears that Siege is just about the Avengers assembling against Osborn, suggesting that this Molecule Man stuff is just another arc in this title. :?
 
The Sentry turned up to save the day (again) and defeated Molecule Man by realizing that he too can control his molecules. The Sentry is such a ridiculous and overpowered character. The next issue apparently reveals his "secret" - it's going to be awful if he's the Beyonder or Miracleman. They need to get rid of him.

Also, Loki has supposedly been manipulating Osborn this whole time.

I think this is why I've grown so tired with comic books. You can't even let a villain be responsible for his own villainy? Meh.

It seems to me it's the goblin side that's manipulating him.

If they - and by "they" I mean Bendis - had remembered what the Sentry was all about it wouldn't be an issue. The more he used his power, the more of a threat The Void was. That was brilliant. There's nothing wrong with having him be so powerful as long as they retain that crucial element, but they didn't. Now he's just a bad Superman knockoff...except he gets a headache now and then.

The funny thing is to think how well the Void would fit in the DARK AVENGERS. Duh. That's what the character is all about. And imagine Norman Osbourn manipulating The Void.

Bendis is such an effing idiot.
 
Okay wow. Pick one. The sentry's big secret is that he is:

A) the Void
B) a meth junkie
C) God
D) Galactus
E) All of the above

I think the Galactus thing was just like saying "I am the darkness" or "I am the lord or death" or something like that... it was just something to say to get across how scary he is.

You might be right. Still, sentry is really overpowered at this point.

I'm pretty sure I've made this argument before, but I don't think Sentry's problem is that he has too much power.

The problem with Sentry is that no one knows how to write his weakness, which is the most interesting part of the character.

In the original story, the Void grew stronger as the Sentry grew stronger/used his power. So you've got a great dynamic there of a hero who can basically do anything and could save the entire world from anything - but in doing so he destroys it. It's really brilliant.

But no one uses that. Paul Jenkins didn't even use it correctly, especially in that ****atious second Sentry story he did. And Bendis just turns it into the cliche "crazy superhero" story which is not the least bit interesting, and poorly done at that.
 
This issue wasn't bad. I liked the retelling of his true origin and how creepy he is.

I just hope this is all leading up to someone FINALLY doing away with Sentry once and for all.

Everyone keeps saying that. I don't want them to get rid of the Sentry at all. E is absolutely right; the best thing about the Sentry is the sense of balance. I also think he is more interesting when he is really creating his own balance; when the Void isn't his own being. That's what is interesting. I don't want them to kill the Sentry, I want them to write him correctly. That means taking him away from Bendis and giving him to someone who understands him.
 
I like how The Sentry pretty much explains the problem of an omnipowerful/omnibenevolent being.

Being omni anything implies that you contain all aspects of said characteristic, with the positive aspects and negative aspects ultimately neutralizing eachother. To be omnipowerful implies to be both the strongest and weakest being in existance, while being omnibenevolent (or omnigood) would imply being not only being the most heroic thing in existance but also the most villainous. The Sentry/Void paradox capitalizes on this brillliantly, and the fact that he has actually accomplished nothing as a character would only make it more perfect if Bendis actually did it on purpose.
