>Brevoort: In terms of Rhodey, we were not unaware that killing Rhodey meant we’d have a story where an African American character dies, which is something that happens prevalently in our medium. That’s a conversation that we had. In our particular retreat where we talked about this, Ta’Nehisi Coates was in the retreat for the first time. He heard all of this, and afterwards, he sent a long missive to myself and Axel, which we forwarded to Brian and we all spoke about, in terms of what he thought the reaction would be and what the ramifications would be, that we had to consider that from all sides. And we have.

I've started to see fussing about Rhodey and Shulkie, and the debate of whether 'fridging' is applicable. I'm wavering because I like a tight definition, but it DOES seem Rhodey being ded is mainly "make Tony feel bad", but that's also the plot in and of itself, soo

>>83457460
To be fair once you've done it long enough it must be really dreary to read new superhero comics, let alone write them. It's like sitcom writers often don't enjoy watching sitcoms. They've done the formula so many times, they know every story beat in advance.

Whether creator-owned comics are such hot shit, I don't know; I think the current Image generation is a bit weak on characters because they don't have multiple writers' perspectives fleshing them out. But I don't really blame the writers for being over it.
>>
>>83457540
>Also, why is Clint the "let's rehab villains" on the PUNISH FUTURE CRIME side?
Well, I can actually kinda see it. If he wants to reform villains, by working for Carol he can get those people some therapy to weed out those villainous tendencies before they have a chance to manifest.


>I saw that Thunderbolts art and I think I've nope.jpg'd out.

I kind of think you're wrong and he's wrong. There's nothing wrong with a writer wanting to not write superhero comics, but right now in the American industry to reach certain segments of the market you have to write cape stuff before you can write other stuff (and usually you have to write other stuff before you write cape stuff...)

I dislike the Image wanking because a lot of Image does nothing for me, but I understand why so many creators love it. I just wish... they actually came out with more imaginative books, I guess.

But I'm not much of a Hickman fan either, so if he wants to stay out of it that's fine by me.

>>83457697
Morrison is one of very few writers who can write superheroes for a long time without burning out, though. It helps that a lot of his work gets to stand on its own unconnected to events.

Brubaker recently said in his newsletter that he stopped writing superheroes because the slog of events and reboots and shocking twists wore him out.

Plus if you write superheroes for long enough eventually you will run out of characters you write well. Brubaker really connected with Captain America. But he was not a good fit on X-Men.

I think at its core the idea of a superhero is a really open concept. It's like the idea of magical powers, or really any fantastical element. So there's a lot that can extend to.

Even writing in the shared DC or Marvel universe has brought us stuff like Dial H or Omega Men. Blame editorial for this sameness rather than writers, probably (and the people buying).
>>
>>83458253
I think so. Also, someone barely scouted it out, because the inside of the Met is infamously not a very good place to have a large gala like that, even if you move the restaurant tables out of the way. But it's a beautiful and striking building.

>>83458311
There was an issue of something with Daken and Osborn going to the opera where the penciller hadn't done *any* research at how the interior of the Met looks for people sitting in boxes, or the writer on what was in possible repertory

yeah, I know, I know

So Spencer talked in a podcast about how he's intentionally writing Zemo as going rather backwards in his development, seeing him as having been on a downward spiral since Bucky became Cap. He's makes it sound like he's going SOMEWHERE with it, and that Helmut will have a moment where he looks at himself and asks "what the fuck am I doing?"

I can always tell when the writer or penciller hasn't done quite enough research on the opera.

Like in Batman: Hush Batman says his parents loved the great composers "but especially Leoncavallo." Leoncavallo only wrote one opera that's popular.

This is not a bad thing *at all*, it's just that it brings home to me how many things in fiction feel just *slightly* wrong to people who know the subject inside out.

Errr, I don't disagree that listening to TNC on "not killing the black dude" is a good idea, but let's all be honest about how and why BP sold what it did and let's see where it lands at #5 or so once LCSes have adjusted for actual demand.
