What's the dumbest storyline in comic history?
>>
Abortion radioactive semen demon
>>
Some silver age bullshit probably.

In modern comics probably something to do with Spider-Man. Maybe the Clone Saga?

Ultimatum was also pretty stupid.
>>
Onslaught.
>>
>>80880090
some girls womb being the secret entrance/exist to ryleh
>>
Why do people hate DD being possessed so much? Seriously?
>>80880126
No the Clone saga was arguably poorly executed but the concept was not dumb at all.
>>
>>80880172
I don't read Daredevil but I've been watching the series and the idea of a street-level fighter getting possessed by a demon after taking over a centuries-old assassination cult is just fucking dumb
>>
>>80880126
>Ultimatum was also pretty stupid.

A big mega event with Magneto as the main villain is solid in concept
>>
>>80880090

A bad guy rigs a girl's uterus to blow up or something if her gay brother's baby is aborted.

Or The Unfunnies.

Or Trouble.

Or Batman Beyond with Tim in Terry's batsuit.

Or anything to do with Bomb Queen.

Highest profile one I can think of is definitely Civil War
>>
>>80880172

1. it's horribly dumb
2. it was badly done
3. Daredevil had literally spent a decade having a mental breakdown people were hoping to actually see it play out all the way to an endpoint and it got handwaved away with lol demon
4. DD was just coming off 2 of the character's best runs

Hi

No it really isn't, it's a perfect evolution of his dealings with the Hand and the being they Worship.
The show will touch apon it if the Hand guy mentioning "a rising is coming" in the trailer is any indication.
>>
>>80880126
But at the very least Silver-Age stuff is entertaining to read. Shit like Clone Saga isn't even that.

>>80880243
Daredevil finally snapping and going full villain, especially after the events of Bendis' run (where Matt becomes the Kingpin) and Brubaker's run (where Matt becomes the leader of The Hand) is also really solid in concept. That doesn't make the Shadowland storyline any less stupid though.

If we're talking about dumb concepts/premises, Punisher/Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Marvel Zombies, Injustice, and bits of Morrison's Batman run were all pretty stupid.
>>
Original sin? In reality, it seems that all heroes took care of were the minor league threats to Earth. Nick Fury was protecting us from the real threats with a gun.

No, that's Mike Deodato and Steve Buccellato.

Early Deodato followed the 90's extreme muscles trend.

This is a good vote.

OMD and AVX are going to get an obligatory mention, as well.
Also, that Genesis storyline DC did that people forget happened (something something "God Wave" something something) was pretty much punching Jack Kirby in the balls postmortem.

I agree with the latter Anon. Ultimatum at its core would have be spectacular. The initial concept is solid, the large cull is status quo changing.


The characterizations, the people who where culled/amount and the general badness where the problem

Dude most of the things you said are stupid, but they're ridiculously fun. They a lot higher from serious arcs, that are just stupid with nothing redeeming.
>>
>>80880171
that's actually pretty funny and a neat idea. Was it executed badly?
>>
>>80880172
Because the plot idea of him going totally off the deepp end and taking control of the hand seemed really cool and made a lot of sense after all the shit he head gone through lately. Kind of like Cyclops being right. But instead Marvel lost their nerve and was like, "Ummm, shit, no, he's still the same ol' Matt! Just possessed by a demon or some gay shit. I dunno."

It's like how Tony avoided aby reprecussions or backlash from anyone save Thor over Civil War becuase "Shit, Extremis must have downloaded some malware into muh brain!"

Emerald Twilight. I wouldn't say it's the dumbest but it certainly wasn't written very well due to editorial meddling and the story being cut in half so it's rushed and incomplete on top of that. Some good stuff came afterwards but the initial story just made no sense when compared to the last few issues of Gerard Jones' run.

The first one has amazing art, no matter how you feel about the story (I like it). The second is a short, interesting status quo change, though I'll admit I'm a sucker for mechs. The third is just a legitimately good story.
>>80894812
This is a good answer.
>>80895146
This is not, you pleb. I will concede that making it a big "blockbuster" event may have not been smart.
