Can he write an event without a "shock" death?
>>82422077
>77
Oh shit, a bullet just ricocheted off a wall and went through OP's heart! We're in a Bendis event!
If you get dubs, you're killed for shock value. If you get trips, you're one of Bendis' pet characters!
>>82422077
I don't think Secret Invasion has a shock death? Plenty of shock Skrulls, but I don't think any shock deaths
Can anyone?
>>82422077
Considering that events are meant to garner as much attention as possible, no.
They even said straight up announced that Namor was gonna die in Squadron Supreme a week or two before it came out so more people would buy it.
>>82422077
House of M, bam what do I win?
>>82422238
Didn't Hawkguy die
>>82422297
The opposite, actually.
>>82422297
That was Avengers Dissembled
>>82422354
>>82422376
No I mean in the final confrontation
He shoots Wanda, freaks out, then her kid kills him
>>82422404
Yeah, but that was in the alternate universe. Several heroes had died up to that point there. And it's teased in the final issue that he survived and by New Avengers 30 it's revealed that he did.
>>82422077
>Can he write?
>>82422120
Benis is fat and bald and I bet he can lick his hairy mantits.
>>82422517
Nice try, anon, you're gonna make it.
>>82422152
>I don't think Secret Invasion has a shock death?
Janet died in the end.
>>82422120
Hoping for the best.
>>82422553
Benis? Benis is fat and bald and he can lick his hairy mantits?
>>82422077
Nobody died during Secret War, so he CAN. But this was years ago, back when he still gave a fuck.
>>82422120
Uh oh.
>>82422569
Oh right
>>82422634
Secret War wasn't really an event
>>82422077
I wish I still had that The Death of Jessica Jones event pasta
>>82422634
Didn't Lucia von Bardas die originally, but then get retconned back to life later on? Not exactly a shock that a female character he created would be killed off by him, but a death of a central character nonetheless.
>>82422483
He killed off the mutants. It was kind of a shock. Several of them died.
Death of Spider-Man wasn't a shock. It was on the cover multiple issues and even had a prelude with the same thing.
>>82422077
I thought that was Whedon. Its just his copycat.
>Talky talky babble babble.
>Kill a character you like.
>Call it a day.
>Can he write?
No.
>>82423847MISSILE TO THE TITS
>Can he write
no
>>82423847
WHY
>>82422077
He can, he just chooses not to.
>>82423898TEAT-SEEKING MISSILE
>>82422077
Being spendthrift with characters for shock value alone is a widespread problem among writers these days.
>>82422120
Rolling
>>82422238
Spider-Man killed himself in House of M.
>>82422120
Rolling to be Kitty
>>82428856
He didn't actually kill himself, senpai.
>I was only nine years old
>I loved Bendis so much, I owned all his comics and merchandise
>I pray to Bendis every night, thanking him for the dialogue I have been given
>"Bendis is love," I say, "Bendis is life"
>My dad hears me and calls me a faggot
>He is obviously jealous of my devotion to Bendis
>I respond "I'm a faggot?"
>He says "Yes, you're a faggot"
>I say "But I'm not gay"
>He says "I meant faggot as a generic insult, not to call you gay"
>I respond "It's still pretty homophobic"
>He punches me and sends me to my room
>I am crying now, because I wasn't finished talking
>I go into my bed and it's very cold
>I feel a warmth moving towards me
>I keep feel a warmth moving towards me for 5 panels
>I feel something touch me
>2 page spread
>It's Bendis
>I am so happy
>He whispers into my ear, "Wanna read my latest comic?"
>"Your latest comic?"
>"Yes"
>"You came to my room to show me your latest comic?"
>"Why else would I come?"
>"I thought you were gonna have your way with me"
>"You're 9 years old, anyone who could possibly think that would be a twisted freak"
>"A twisted freak?"
>"Yes"
>"Can I just read the comic?"
>"Go ahead"
>He grabs me with his chubby nerd hands and puts me on my hands and knees
>I'm ready
>I open the comic for Bendis
>He wasted several pages on characters eating and doing nothing
>It hurts so much, but I do it for Bendis
>I can feel my brain tearing as my eyes start to water
>I push against his force
>I want to please Bendis
>He laughs a mighty laugh as he ignores established continuity
>My dad walks in
>Bendis looks him deep in the eyes and says, "It's all over now"
>"Who the fuck are you? I'm calling the cops!"
>"You were supposed to say "It's over now?""
>Fuck you, what are you doing with my son?"
>"You're no fun"
>Bendis punches the wall and leaves to write about his waifu some more
Bendis is love, Bendis is life
>>82422077
Dude, think about it. He's a second-rate Whedon.
>>82429738
I've seen some amusing versions of this pasta in my time but the Bendis one always kills me.
>>82429764
And Whedon is a second rate writer. So that makes him a second rate of a second rate writer.
>>82422120
No deaths for me, Dirty Dan
Where's that snake in the grass Pinhead Larry?
Friendly reminder Bendis is Hickman-approved and will soon be EIC while also writing all avengers+spider men titles
>>82429764
He (and many other low-class people) think his "repeat what the other person said aimlessly" dialogue + "everyone snarks" is like a god-sent combination of Whedon, Aaron Sorkin and David Mamet.
These people are also MCU derps.
>>82430124
>Bendis is Hickman-approved
I thought Bendis hated Hickman
he's always making these snarky posts like Hickman is a pain in his ass or something
>>82422120
rolling for Miles
>>82430181
cause they are buds
they co-wrote the first arc of Secret Warriors and later Bendis picked up many of Hickman's loose ends on his post-Dark Reign Avengers
>>82422974
I still don't know what Secret War was.
Like its a thing that happened just to remove Fury from SHIELD?
>>82430381
maybe
basically Fury really had it in for Latveria for some reason that is only vaguely convincing, so he assembles a team to hit on their leadership (this while Doom is AWOL in Hell) because SHIELD was denied permission by the UN or whatever to attack them.
He is fired, etc.
>>82422120
I hope Bendis gets a heart attack
>>82430644
Well, it's a good thing you're dead.
>>82422120
A bullet? Like from a gun? Ricocheted? You mean bounced? Off the wall? That wall? The one that's holding up this building?
Where did it go? OP's Heart? Like the OP? The OP Who made this thread? It went through his heart? The heart? The heart pumps blood right? And you're saying that we're in a Bendis Event? a Bendis Event? Like Brian Michael Bendis? An Event by Brian Michael Bendis?
And Dubs? Like Dubs? 2 Consecutive Numbers Dubs? Killed? Like die? Killed? Shock Value? Value of Shock? and I get trips? Three Consecutive Numbers? That trips? I become one of? Bendis' pet characters? Like Pet Characters? of Bendis? Brian Michael Bendis? His Pet Characters?
>>82430124
>>82430295
Hickman was fired. He's not coming back and his choice of EiC is probably the kiss of death for the career of whoever he'd pick.
>>82422077
well, all Marvel events have a shock death to make them important since the ''long term'' repercussions of FOREVER!! only last a couple of months
>>82431050
>Hickman was fired.
doubt it
since he was at the last marvel whatever council like a month ago
>>82422120
Death? Who died?
>>82429738
Gold
>>82422120
Rolling for Peter Parker.
This time for real. Let's put him out of his misery.
>>82423091
Anyone important? Chamber, Blob and Jubilee got depowered, any other important casualty?
RISE
>>82431050
Why would he have been fired?
