The barrier in and of itself didn't depower him, but it cut him off from his source of energy so while he was trapped by it, it would diminish steadily.
You're simply taking the word "originally" way too literally. We know for a fact the first sonic shark exploded along with the energies it drained. Nick Fury's sonic shark is the original model with the same abilities, it wasn't literally the same missile. It was the military that designed the Sonic Shark missile, so obviously they can manufacture another one in case Surfer went crazy.
And if Surfer did supposedly drain back his energies, why did he make no mention of feeling more powerful?
It didn't. I've never seen a proof of the barrier cutting him off from his power source.
Of course it is.
Yes, it was. Hence, fury explicitly stating that the missile "originally" absorbed his power.
Get mad and cry more. Nitpicking "originally" wouldn't make it. Prove there was a second sonic shark missile.
The writer goes out of his way to mention this is the same sonic shark and even mentions FF 72 when he has Fury say that it was used originally to drain surfer.
But somehow that goes down just because in the original story it got explodey...
Its not like the writer retconned it using Fury's words that it was the same missile which was used in FF 72.
You have some pretty glaring holes in your myth bust.
- The first sonic shark exploded, hence they're not the exact same missile.
- After Surfer drains Fury's missile, he makes no mention of feeling more powerful.
- Your entire argument hangs on loosely interpreting the word "originally" which everyone (except you) agrees wasn't literal.
Until you fill these holes, no one's going to take your myth bust seriously.
That's not a retcon. It would be only be one if it was shown that the missile somehow survived, or they showed the scene again and it didn't explode.
If I show you a gun and say "This is a Thompson submachine gun, the same gun used by Al Capone", does that mean it's literally the exact same gun that Al Capone used? Or just the same type of gun?
Of course it is. The missile was specified as the one which Originally drained surfer and surfer instantly recognized it as the one. Even the issue number was given for someone like you or vince trying to doubt it.
You should prove it was a different missile. And FF 72 doesn't counts.
Occam's razor and all that shit. Still waiting for the scan where surfer was depowered by the barrier.
Any proof it was a retcon other than your narrow interpretation of the dialogue? If the missile hadn't been deflected and exploded, the Surfer would have been killed. Obviously he wasn't.
Furthermore, it's hardly inconceivable Reed would have built another one, it was one of his best-designed weapons and tons of enemies use similar cosmic energies that it would be useful against. In fact, previously we saw a very similar device Reed designed that drained some of the Power Cosmic from Doctor Doom (when he stole it from the Surfer). The Sonic Shark seemed to be an evolution of that design. Reed keeps copies and blueprints of all of his useful inventions around.
Yeah, not to mention after draining Fury's missile Surfer made no comment about feeling more powerful.
You would think getting your power back after being almost totally drained would be a pretty big deal. There would be at least some sort of statement or narration alluding to it, but there's nothing.
If Surfer did get back his powers, the writer would've made it clear.
