Why all the Sentry hate?

What's up with this non-stop hate towards Sentry?
Not even just this forum, it's every single comic forum out there.

I just read a hate message on a Superman forum saying "I hate the Sentry, he isn't easy to relate to like Superman!".......what the holy hell??

I mean, we don't even know who Sentry is yet, hell, Sentry could be a brainwashed Thor for all we know.

So, given the fact know one knows anything about him, how is it possible to hate on him unless you have alterior motives?

Sentry hasn't given me any particular reason to hate the character or love the character.
Superman easy to relate to? 🤨

I think its cause Sentry seems a bit of a stupid character, his mini series was all derivation and hype. The made up back story ripped off Miracleman "A dream of flying so much". Theres so little original about him and he has no history so Marvel tried to make one up. Its like the House of ideas has none.

There no reason to hate or like. So far hes hype. Same with Prime Superman. All made up story and nothing we can see about it.

Lets see what will be coming next for him for a clear jugdment.

yeah ....he looks like Thor.... and can control light.... he flies without a hammer..... hmmmmmm

if you were to give him access to the speedforce he would be very similar to the greatest hero this forum has ever seen

😛

Alot of people hate Sentry for two reasons:

1) He's a blatant and obvious Superman-ripoff

2) He's unbeatable. And ridiculously overpowered. A character THAT powerful is not an interesting character. And his "I can't use my powers or a big shadow will haunt me" is as hackneyed as Gladiator's confidence.

Scoobs it's between your posts! Is it you doing this? Its just a question and not an accusation!

If it is, its OTT mate.

No - is it you? Well you won't tell me anyway if it is.

Good answers.

I'll be damned but I thought I was gonna get flamed, but you bastards gave actual, educated and informed answers.

Well to tell you Stan Lee thought him up when he was first developing comics, thought "uhh, this isn't going to fly" (Heh, fly..) and discarded the notion of a Sentry for over 60 years only to brush off the dust and give it a shot simply because Marvel was going bankrupt..

THAT's how bad he is..

You don't really believe that Spelljammer, do you?

inaccurate but amusing......... to the extreme!

What does Sentry look like? and What are his powers?

That cheating loser?! Pfft!

Actually, Sentry resembles Apollo more than Thor (imo)...just give him some magical powers and you'd see the 'True Greatest Hero' ever witnessed by man. You and your rigged voting just kept him from the title. 😛

His backstory is such a rip off of Alan Moores "A Dream of Flying" and steals some elements from John Byrnes next men.

Which reminds me if you like the Authority check out 2112 by Byrne (he may be an arse as far as continuity, but over the years he has done some clever stuff) you will see where the idea came from (maybe 😕 )

Keep the faith 🙂

Stay Whirly 🤘

its just cuz sentry is just coming back. you see sentry is like a "hyperion" kinda charcter.....meaning that just like hyperion, he has been sitting on the marvel back burner for years and almost forgotten about. in fact, it has been many many years since sentry was last seen in comics. so much so that only a select group of ppl even remembered him. so the first thing the new writers did was explain where he was all this time...instead of just starting over his canon and thurstng him into the marvel universe(brilliant if you ask me)

so i think if given time the ppl will warm up to him, maybe not like supes but he's not a hatable guy(IMO) just a tragic character, and i like tragic charcters with god like pwers, cuz they are the ones who are beyond the concept of good and evil. ppl will just have to hope that they take thier sides.
