Anyone else feel like they could do his job better than he's doing it?
>>84456133
Almost certainly. He's not even a good ideas man anymore
Probably not, honestly. I don't think I'd be able to completely throw away my artistic integrity in favor of making shocking B-movie stuff that'll rake in money.
What I don't get is that Bendis is going with all sorts of minority report bullshit with Civil War, when it's ripe for addressing one of the most dogged morality issues facing super heroes: The use of lethal force.
Have a hero start by killing a total bastard like the Red Skull and decide that maybe, sometimes killing unrepentant mass murderers is an okay thing. Have another hero decide that slope to be too slippery and that the "no killing" line is drawn in the sand for a reason. Have different heroes take different sides, and you can actually have a Civil War where both sides have a point instead of the two we've gotten so far.
>>84456133
No, not really. But I have really low self esteem so that might factor in on some level.
>>84456133
Starting with himself, everyone.
>>84456133
I actually like his work ... but yes, I'm just better than everyone, including him.
>>84456207
Hey, ripping off last November's tv remake of Minority Report took talent, class, and effort.
Lesser minds would have called a thing like that something original, but Bendis knew - he knew instinctively - that only calling it Civil War II could possibly put the sales up to the highest level.

I'm pretty sure Red Skull's been killed a couple times now. Steven Rogers does not fuck around with Nazis.
The problem is that Red Skull cloned himself.
I'm gonna be that asshole and say yes even tough I know next to nothing about the Marvel universe.
I won't be really good and I'm sure I'll be eternally stuck as that ''fill in writer who's there for six issues until we find another guy'', but at least my mediocre stuff won't anger as many people as what Bendis does.

Marvel heroes seem to rarely give a shit about killing tons of people. Only when it's a major named villain do they stay their fist/hammer/gun/energy bolt.
>>84456133
His "job" is making Marvel money.
He's the best at what he does.
>>84456133
He sells comics so he's doing his job right
However, I'm sure I could take all his ideas and make much better comics. Sadly, since my name would be on the cover instead of his, they would sell like shit.
>>84456133
a fucking hack
Well Ive been told Im a decent writer, and I cant see myself doing any worse than him, but I'd probably have more investment writing for DC
Bendis is good, but he just really needs an editor that tells him "no".
He also needs to do half the work he's doing so he can concentrate but he has a large family so that's not an option.
>>84456133
I certainly do.
"The War Machines" was a load of fucking nothing.

Can't wait until Marble is in the grave where they belong.

Marvel is selling less and less comics, so you can't really say he's doing a great job from an investor standpoint.
>>84461833
>Marvel comics goes bust
>They sell off the assets
>It's restarted by people who give a fuck
>Nothing big, four titles a month
I could live like that. That would be a stronger world, a stronger loving world, to die in.
