Ruined FOREVER (Darth Wiki)/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

** One Word: [[Siege]]. Civil War began the greatest period of Marvel Comics, Siege closed it.

** M-Day and Utopia have perverted the entire premise of X-Men.

* Though ''[[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]'' and Marvel have had to weather any number of these moments with varying levels of justification, ''[[One More Day]]'' seems to have been the mother of them all.

** There are some who thought the revelation that {{spoiler|Gwen Stacey and Norman Osborn slept together and had two super-powered, illegitimate children}} completely ruined {{spoiler|Gwen's}} character forever. People also thought the fact that {{spoiler|Mary-Jane knew}} but didn't tell Peter made it all the worse.

** But the thing that '''set the internet on fire''' was the new interpretation of Starfire in ''[[Red Hood and The Outlaws]]''. Even though fans have been told it gets better in later issues, they don't care and have dropped the character after the first issue. It's easily gotten twice the backlash of ''Batgirl'', though both controversies died down significantly after a month or two.

*** This is the same with all of the books written by Scott Lobdell, especially [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]].

* Serious [[Internet Backdraft]] over the guy who's supposed to replace {{spoiler|Thor}} after Fear Itself (but it looks like some other characters might get [[Replacement Scrappy|new people in their roles too]] so he's not the only one), despite the {{spoiler|Thor}} books being the best sellers of Marvel right now. Also, the guy he's replacing hasn't even died in-story yet, and won't until October/November (posted first day of September), so it feels like a slap in the face.

** Also because he and the other 2 replacements (going by the promo material for "Shattered Heroes" aka the November line) looked like they went to the [[Nineties Anti Hero]] school. Just when Marvel was easing off the [[Wangst]] after Siege!
