Who is the shittiest OC in recent times?
I vote Bendis's War Machine replacement
>>83506422
"I have to write a female character. How to women talk to eachother?"
"I know! Just put "guuurl" at the end of every other sentence!"
"Brilliant."
>>83506422
WHORE MACHINE
>>83506422
He really went there.
Eugh.
I hope Doom at least cucks Tony.
>>83506504
kek
>>83506422
Once they showed Rhodes dying, I immediately know she was meant to replace him
>another female for Tony to hit on
>>83506472
Literally 2 sentences. Are you this assblasted that you can post lies about the dialogue directly under the image of the actual dialogue? Christ, some of you really are reactionary fools.
>>83506422
Bendis seems to have a thing for really wanting to replace old legacies with his own thing and doing his fucking damnest to make them stick. Is it true he tried to kill Peter Parker in 616 and make Miles the only Spider-Man?
>>83506422
That "art" is disgusting and no doubt traced from stolen models going by the laughable armor "design"
I know I saw this shitty new War Machone somewhere. I think it was in Civil War II #1. Cringeworthy nonetheless.
>>83506504
I'm using this
>>83506422
Bluebird. No training, smarter than Tim, that shitty outfit, a 26 issue series wasted on her origin, fucking with Cass's origin so it ties in to Harpers and supposed to be the perfect Robin.
Fuck Harper Row
>>83506908
>Dat haircut
>>83506860
boots look like ultimate iron man, head's a goddamn gundam with an iron man face plate
>>83506908
>smarter than Tim
wah Tim must be smartest
>>83507000
Duh. He's Donatello, after all.
>>83506422
I can forgive all the dodgy writing, as it's clearly done with enthusiasm.
The "art" however... when did poser become the basic go-to tool of comic book artists?
>>83506422
>Marvel and DC needed to deal with a century long white male bias when creating comic characters
>Introducing brand new heroes is unfeasible because readers almost always reject anything introduced after the bronze age.
The solution? Replace existing heroes with minorities and women. Win-win situation in their eyes, because people will still be reading Thor, War Machine, Spider-Man, Hulk, Captain Marvel, Green Lantern, and a long list of etcs, while not really doing it.
And this is not going to stop anytime soon.
>>83506504
easy pal she's only 15 years old!which is retarded
>>83507063
Is it because it's just so much harder to form connections with newer heroes because there are so many alternative places to find them?
Major youtubers are basically comic book characters who share my hobbies and passions and will give me hundreds (fuck, thousands) of hours of entertainment for free. People like Markiplier whose entire thing is being Funny and Nice. Why wouldn't I just watch them, instead of having to buy comics and HOPE the writer for this arc was competent?
>>83506422
>kill a pretty great written black guy that could actually stand on his own, and a great transition from a close friend of tony's to his very own super hero title
>Replaced with poorly traced Black womyn who immediately tries to exist just to be black iron man that just exists to be progressive, also bound to be replaced by another MORE progressive literally who in two years tops
Fuck Bendis
>>83507102
I'm willing to give this one a pass since in Marvel-land a "smart" person means you're basically a hyper-savant in your discipline.
>>83507000
Harper is a poorfag from a broken home in the slums, pre-Flashpoint Tim was from a wealthy family, post-Flashpoint was still middle-class. The advantage should be all his.
>>83507279
You mean privilege?
>>83507290
Yes, that works too.
>>83506422
So will her name be Iron Maiden? Because I can dig that
The last time I read anything War Machine was Dark Reign, when he could assimilate with weapons n shit.
What happened to Rhodes before Secret Wars/Universe reboot? Did he stay a cyborg living in a satellite?
>>83507378
He got transferred into a clone body of his that was perfect and went back to being normal War Machine. I believe that happened at the end of his Dark Reign run, too.
>>83507314
I never knew how much I wanted one of these until now
>>83506422
bulky with a square headpieces... double zetta Warmachine?
>>83507373
FeMale, just make her transgender to double down on diversity.
>>83507373
'Ri'-ron Man
>>83506422
If Bendis wanted a teenage black girl who's a genius, the why didn't he just use Rhodey's niece Lila? Why did he make on OC that's pretty much the same character?
>>83507568
Who?
>>83507568
>Bendis in charge of reading other people's comics
Bendis can't even be bothered to read his own fucking comics, but you expect him to read someone else's!?
>>83506422
Why do you stupid fucks keep reading this bullshit? Marvel is the worst publisher in the planet.
>>83507568
Because it wouldn't be his character. It would be someone else's.
>>83507589
Rhodey's niece, she first showed up in the Iton Patriot series that got cut down into a mini because no one was buying it.
>>83507618
Because some people just want something to be angry about.
>>83506504
>>83507373
There's already an Iron Maiden.
>>83507568
James Robinson already did the Lila as war machine in his armor wars mini
Why is it only bendis that does shit like this
>>83507785
Because that's just how he rolls.
>>83507199
>in your discipline
But all "smart" people are also polymaths.
>>83507568
i'd like to think it's because someone realised that dc already did that with natasha irons as steel
>>83506908
It bothers me that all her character development took place in Batman Eternal
>47 replies
>Nobody mentions Silk
Literally even worse than when Quesada tried to make his daughter fuck Spider-Man. It's the sort of thing a 13 year old would write on fanfiction.net
>>83509019
Because SILK IS CUTE! CUTE!With shitty comic.
>>83507000
Tim's thing is that he's smart. If Harper was JUST smarter than him, it'd be one thing, but combined with everything else it looks pathetic.
Rhodey's in the movies. Why would the synergy obsessed whores at Marvel kill him when their whole thing is to be as much like the movies as possible?
>>83507180
Please leave.
>>83506422
Bendis?
>>83506908
She wasn't even smarter than Tim, who 'intelligence' was some mary sue bullshit its own right.
She was 'tech girl'. Which was at least explained because that was literally her job and she had an interest in it.
Nu52 Tim is an abomination
How come when people try to add new characters to Marvel/DC /co/ just dismisses them with OC?
>>83509495
Characterfags who don't like new characters in their toybox. Specifically if they're perceived to be replacing/better than any established character.
Which is kinda nonsense because writers hijack established characters and make them special snowflakes anyway.
>>83509366
Yes, Bendis.
>>83509537
it bugs me because of all the "why do they keep using the same characters" bitching.
>>83509537
So there's nothing wrong with Harper Row?
>>83507443
>>83507314
>>83506964
>>83506860
I'm actually insulted by how awfully cheap this is. It's actually just a really poor mashup of a movie Iron Man and an Ingram.
God I hate Deodato.
>>83509495
I assume it's because a lot of the time these new characters just take someone else's identity while bringing nothing interesting with them.
>>83509495
Because they tend to be shitty. Look at Harper, Grail and Silk, for example. It's not like /co/ dismisses all OCs, for example, a lot of people here like Tiger, a lot of people here like Batwoman, a solid amount of people like Gwenpool, everybody likes Larfleeze.
>>83509019
Silk at least became good once she got away from Slott.
>>83510002
>a solid amount of people like fapping to Gwenpool
Fixed.
>>83509495
pessimism mostly. new legacy characters often end up being superfluous and replaced by the original or another legacy but not always.
Kamala was reviled before her book came out "sjw pandering etc". then it came out and she wasn't completely defined by her religion and she was amusing and now she has a mixed to positive reaction.
I think it depends on who is being replaced.
>>83506422
Iron Maiden is a good name
>>83510193
>Iron Maiden is a good name
It is, shame everything else about the character doesn't really fill me with hope
>>83507468
underrated
>>83509438
This guy gets it.
She's just someone that wants to help, like Batwoman.
>>83506825
Thats wouldn't be surprising
>>83507378
Kill count:
>War Machinne: 3,100
>Ares: 4,500,000
or something like that. I loved it.
>>83506422
Holy shit it's literally Patlabor.
>>83507568
Bendis invented an Indian female scientist who discovered the cure of the mutant gene, when an indian female scientist who discovered the cure of the mutant gene already exists, Kavita Rao.
>>83513899
Bendis has never read Astonishing X-Men. He had no idea how to even write Abigail Brand for Secret Invasion and had to have Brevoort hold his hand there. There is editorial notes from that era that basically showed that he had no regard or understanding of even current Marvel continuity at that time.
