In any form, in the comics or outside the comics (film,tv,videogame.)

What are some huge blunders and misssed opportunities that could have been grreat but fell flat.

Comes to mind:

1. The non releasing of marvel cartoons from the 1990's
2. Spiderman and the x-men arcade's revenge video game
3. Superman returns

The end of though, like you said was probably the worst, because it didn't tell us what really happened.
There was a worldwide brainwashing by an drunken angry Scottish man, so that it made all the characters in the story, save maybe Herc and Namor, and made them all act like completely out of character and/or complete idiots, and ****ed up the Marvel U worse than Thanos could on one of his universe conquering sprees.

Letting Geoff Johns off of JSA, will also be a blunder for the future. Just like letting him leave Teen Titans was previously.

JSA kinda takes care of itself, though, even before Johns' run. I think the writers have too much fear and/or respect for a lot of the golden oldies to put their own personal spin on things (i.e. f*ck it up)

But yeah, any other book that loses Johns is screwed.

The explanation of why Hulk secceeded is that anyone besides the X-Men try to stop Hulk and not kill him.

Johns wrote pretty much the entire last series, debuting on issue 3, and writing all but a few filler issues until 87, then started off the new one.

i guess i have to wait til the end to withhold judgment but for right now im thinking the whole krptonian debacle thats ongoing in DC at this moment.....sure for all intents and purposes history have shown us that there isnt any overt attack on kryptonians that dont involve obsessive characters like luthor, waller and lois lane's dada but to have the kryptonians be complete assholes in the meantime doesnt solicit sympathy from me any...they are advanced enuff to just say screw it, and lift the entire city out of orbit and build a new krypton or at th e very least kandor somewhere else, but noooooooo! even b4 the ***** move that was pullled on them by the P.T.Be they were planning to subjugate humanity

There was so much on stake in Zero Hour, and the villains were some of my favourites. Guess it comes down to a matter of opinion. Secret Invasion had like, nothing at stake nor did it have a great build up. Zero Hour was epic compared to it, in my opinion.

Epic, but poor characterisation, poor dialogue and nothing more than your cliched ; Uber cosmic character threatens to destroy universe single handily, and then stopped by poorly thought out plot device. Also most of the comic amounted to nothing more than events in history disappearing, and redundant weaker characters standing around basically making appearances for the sake of it ( atheme prominent through out the 90's). Its basically a poor, poor version of COIE. Also wasn't there an incident where they use energy beams to support a city or something ? Its only redeeming feature was when the Spectre goes nuts with Hal, something i wish we saw more of nowadays. You know the shits hit the fan, when the Spectre shows up to kick your ass.

Depending on the context. I wouldn't have it in the movies, but it certainly worked in the Dark Knight Returns, and Robins have had their pivotal roles to play in numerous of my favourite comics. Identity Crisis, and For the Man who had everything spring to Mind.

There are loads of comic concepts that i don't think are great but, they have been used to work really well. The G.L. rings are a prime example. I mean they are basically 'magic' rings, a fictional concept that is unbelivably lame. However I wouldn't want D.C. to 'uncreate' them.

Quality of thought > Quantity of whining. stick out tongue

TricksterPriest
Jim Starlin's Death Of The New Gods. Worst thing to ever happen to them. erm

Thank god Morrison seems to have retconned it. stick out tongue

Onslaught reborn. thumb down

Killing off Apocalypse in "Blood of Apocalypse." Most contrived storyline I've seen in awhile. Actually, should probably add Twelve Saga to that as well.

Apokolips Now. So much fail..........

Hush. Batman and Superman, plus Hush himself were done really well. Almost everyone else got screwed over. Joker especially.

Superman/Batman. Fun book, but there are tons of errors in it and the writing stunk.

Civil War. Just.....Civil War.

My response was a paraphrase from the Red Dwarf Anniversary special, where Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) reads some fan mail aboard the ship;
one particular piece of mail is so long in it's laundry list of complaints, he finally stops and says "Ever had a date, hmmm? I suggest you stop worrying so much and go out and meet some women!" laughing out loud

(Another letter about continuity problems makes him yell "I guess we just made a mistake! OKAY!?!?!?)

Few of my qualms where actually about continuity errors, mainly about seriously bad writing. And yes Thanos is a rubbish character, who usually involved in sub standard story lines, (the exceptions being his mini, and the most recent Annihilation event where Marvel decided it was about time to kill him). Events like the "End" and Infinity Gauntlet are basically rip offs of Wolvmans Infinity crisis and most of Walter Simmons Thor run (both of which i don't particularly care for, but atleast i respect them as originals).

"Oh NO !!!! here comes another all one dimensional all powerful entity who wants to destroy the universe, because ummm ... he can ? Oh well, we'll just get everyone to team up (although most of the characters will be absolutely redundant) so can we appeal to a wider target audience".

Assuming this thread is about good story ideas that just were poorly executed I would have to say:

Bendis' run on the Mighty Avengers
-Ultron as a woman was stupid, but Ultron is awesome
-Venom attack on NY? Would make better as a Spider-man story (see Spider-Man: Web of Shadows video game)
-Doom and Iron Man back in the 80's? How did this go wrong?

Wally's return to being the flash again:
-The kids are a cool concept, but were ended up being more annoying than anything
-Especially Jai, seriously little kids with huge muscles aren't cool, they're creepy
-And instead of using any of the Flash's great villains they just made real generic new ones who nobody will ever remember or use again
-Wally not going acting like an average guy like he was when John's wrote him (No job as a mechanic? No time outside of the costume? He is acting like a regular DC Character which he isn't)
-Linda being a scientist all of a sudden?! And making her extremely boring, to boot.


Secret Invasion
-The first issue was awesome, but the rest just ended up just being a bunch of messy battle scenes with no real purpose (Essentially what Bendis does with the New Avengers)
-Essentially ending the series in the way Marvel has been ending all their crossovers over the last couple years; Really anti-climactic in order to initiate a new status quo that feels very forced, but will sell books like crazy for the first couple months, only to be dropped by most people until the innevitable crossover comes around.
-Essentially it sucks because of Bendis.

Uhhh..does Hulk normally get KOED by gas that easily...cause if he can I can actually see this because Batman doesn't hurt Hulk really just causes startles him which causes him to breathe in the gas...I somehow doubt that this amount of gas would do the trick though...

some wolverine blunders...

Not somehow keeping Chris Claremont writing Logan

Letting Hamma turn Wolverine into the guy who neglects skill over healing and unbreakable bones

Letting Daniel Way write origins

Letting Daniel Way within 50 yards of a writing implement

The entirety of Wolverine volume 3

Making Wolverine's claws cut through his skin.

Letting Loeb handle the "final" battle between Creed and Logan

Sabretooth being decapitated like he was nothing in his "final" fight with Logan.

The idea that Logan and Creed are dog-people who somehow evolved along side with hominids.
