MARVEL RISING: SECRET WARRIORS Trailer And Poster Introduce Marvel's Most Diverse Team Of Heroes Yet

@dracula -





All from this decade. All essential to the human experience.

@dracula - Preach, brother, preach!

@dracula - That Duck Tales clip is unwatchable. Geesh, what happened to cartoons? I can't stand the smug look on Huey(?), Dewey(?), and Louie's(?) face. Webby beating up Magicka is completely ridiculous. Original Magicka was dangerous. This one is a joke.

@dracula - there’s only a few anime shows that don’t end. Actually, the fact that they usually only last a couple seasons is one of the best parts.

Now, if you want to talk about things not ending, let’s look at the site we’re on lol.

@MasterMix - Old comics are SO much better.

@MasterMix - Damn straight! Only Marvel worth a damn was pre 2000!

@Chewtoy - I don't agree with that. There were fantastic comics in the 2000's.

Secret War. Civil War. Avengers Disassembled. Bendis' Daredevil run. House of M. World War Hulk. Secret Invasion.

I would say it all started going downhill with Siege. That story sucked so bad and it never got any better. Only much, much worse.

And then Marvel started with all the PC nonsense and replaced every major white Male character with a person of race or a female all at the same time. That was the death of Marvel to me. It was so obviously a move on Marvel's part to say, "Hey look! We're hip, SJW's!" And ever since then they've just destroyed their entire universe.

I never thought I would say this, but Marvel is in dire need of a full reboot and just make everything more streamlined again.

@Chewtoy - Civil War had great characterisation. It cut to the core of the two main characters' ideologies and put them into philosophical conflict with one another to give a treatise on facism. And, granted, also a great reason for external conflict.

There are many stories, this side of the millennium, that have great characterisation.

There are a lot more events, nowadays, and events are not always as character-driven as Civil War, but I think every era has it's cheap, disposable comics as well as it's essential runs.


If we're just comparing event stories, though, might I throw a little Age of Apocalypse your way? Or how about Onslaught? The original Secret Wars? A bunch of good guys Vs a bunch of bad guys on a battleworld? Give me a break. Where's the characterisation there? There is none. It's all spectacle.


Also, we're not all "Young-uns" you know. Much as it pains me to admit.


I can understand that you don't buy into the overt commercialism of the coics anymore. There are so many of them, that the majority of them are probably not worth reading. It's always best t o go back to the classics and preserve the essence of them in a time long before that essence was all but completely forgotten, but there are pretty good stories that do come about, from time to time. Modern classics. You've just got to wait for them to be old enough to stand out.


I'd personally recommend just about every issue of Daredevil this century as well as Brubaker's Cap run and, more recently, Tom King's Vision.

@Chewtoy - They weren't really fighting over a false assumption, though. And characters went to extremes because, like I said, it cut to the core of what made them them. That's when character comes out, when it is fundamentally challenged. Therefore they show who they are through their actions.

Iron Man believes to the core of his being that Superhuman Registration is absolutely necessary and Cap believes it is not and it is this fundamental divide that illustrates the divide in both their heroic motivations. It is the hill they would both die on.

But I do agree with you in that modern comics are so much more event driven and it actually makes it very hard to be invested in the comics in any serious manner.


Unlike the older comics, I don't care what major thing happens to any of the characters any more. I'll read a good story or run and I'll enjoy it, but Cap is a Nazi? Don't care. There's a new Avengers roster? There usually is. Two characters are fighting? That's what they do. A superhero is dead? They'll be back. A superhero is back? Yawn. You get the point. Nothing is shocking anymore. They could make Cap a pedophile and Scarlet Witch a transsexual YouTube star and it wouldn't inspire any passionate opinion from me in any shape or form


The only Marvel Universe I truly care about anymore is the MCU.

@Reeds2Much - yo, the BK Kids Club reference lmao



I got you bruh. Love that deep cut.
