Why is this short funnier everytime I see it?
CONFOUND THOSE ANONS!
OH, HOW I HATE THEM!
Would you watch the original three hour cut it Marvel releases it?
>some shit or a lot of shit
hmm
Yes.
Despite AoU being a bloated mess of a movie, it needed at least another 30 minutes to properly fit in all the stuff Marvel wanted to stuff in.
No. I don't see why anyone would willing watch more joss whedon schlock than they had to.
To this day, I have yet to see autism as impressive as the maker of these comics

>I've always gravitated toward Marvel's heroes first and foremost. It was the X-Men (both in comic book and animated form) who sparked my original transition from casual superhero fan to full-fledged comic book geek in the early '90s. And when I returned to the fold after a long absence, books like Ultimate Spider-Man and New X-Men were as responsible as anything for reigniting my love of comics. Even as I've gained a love and appreciation of the many non-superhero comics the medium has to offer, Marvel has always been a crucial part of this hobby.
>That's why it's so strange to come to terms with the fact that my interest in Marvel's comic book output is at a 15-year low these days. There are still current Marvel books I enjoy (All-New Wolverine and Vision being the two standouts), but my overall enthusiasm for the company and its general direction is sorely lacking in 2016. It's hard not to look back on the past 12 months and feel that Marvel peaked with Secret Wars. And on the flip side, I currently find myself more excited for the future of DC than I have in years. One company is losing me even as the other one is hooking me all over again. The balance of power is shifting.
>With Marvel, there's a sense of diminishing returns when it comes to the company's perpetual cycle of big relaunches followed by major event crossovers followed by big relaunches. Recent monthly sales reports seem to bear this out, with many current Marvel titles selling lower and dropping faster than their 2015 equivalents. There are a number of trends to be gleaned from these sales figures, but speaking solely from my own perspective as a reader, I don't feel enthused about the state of the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe in the same way I did the original Marvel NOW in 2012 or the Heroic Age-era Marvel in 2010 or the post-Avengers Disassembled Marvel in 2005. The fact that this year's post-Civil War II relaunch is simply recycling the "Marvel NOW" name does nothing to decrease the "been there, done that" sensation.
>Relaunch apathy aside, Marvel has a larger problem when it comes to the state of its major franchises. Of the four main pillars of the Marvel Universe (Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four), only the first is in a particularly strong place right now. Both the Avengers and X-Men books seem to be undergoing similar post-Secret Wars identity crises, while the Fantastic Four franchise, for all intents and purposes, doesn't exist anymore. The clear sense of purpose and editorial direction that in years past propelled Marvel's heroes from Civil War to Secret Invasion to Dark Reign is no longer apparent. That's to say nothing of Marvel ongoing talent problem. They have yet to really recover from the loss of so many key creators over the past couple years (Matt Fraction, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Jonathan Hickman, Rick Remender and now Kieron Gillen). I honestly wonder how Marvel would cope if Jason Aaron or Brian Michael Bendis decided to follow their peers and focus entirely on creator-owned projects.

>balance of power is shifting
>but sales aren't
lmao ok but I do hope that DC gets more sales and panders even harder to the Harley Quinn and Batman crowd
>Even as Marvel grapples with these persistent problems, DC is currently on the upswing. Granted, DC really had nowhere to go but up with the way so many of their core franchises have stalled in the past year. But I certainly didn't expect to be so immediately and completely taken with the new Rebirth status quo. DC Universe Rebirth #1 wasn't just a great swan song for Geoff Johns, it was a love letter to everything the DC Universe was and is still capable of being. That one issue seems to have reinvigorated the DCU in a way last year's DC You relaunch failed to do. I've read every DC Rebirth title published to date, and there hasn't been one stinker in the bunch. And it's not just the big guns like Superman and Batman that are capturing my attention. I point to Green Arrow as the first major success story of DC Rebirth. Before DC Rebirth, Green Arrow wasn't a comic I gave much thought to. Now it ranks as one of DC's best. That's despite the fact that the new Green Arrow series has the same writer as the old one. Right off the bat, Rebirth is bringing out the best in DC's creators in a way that the old status quo wasn't.
>You can point to many mistakes made during the course of the New 52, but I think Rebirth is proving that the most fundamental of them was the the elimination of so much vital history and so many defining character relationships. Barry Allen is a better character now that he has Wally West back in his life. Oliver Queen and Dinah Lance are stronger together than they were apart. With DC Universe Rebirth #1, Geoff Johns took a long, hard look at what the New 52 lacked, acknowledged those shortcomings with frank honesty and set the wheels in motion to restore the DCU to what it once was. That crucial sense of history and legacy is back. It's fitting that DC Universe Rebirth #1 culminated with Barry reaching into the Speed Force and rescuing his long-lost friend.

Neat.

I wish Manapul were a better writer because he could make a turd look beautiful
>>83857608
Huh, haven't reverted to Ares's old design yet?
>>83857883
Yeah, he's not bad, but the books he's worked on so far have definitely been worth checking out more so for their art than their writing.
The final chapter! 52 week 52! It all ends here!
