Who Can you Trust? Who else is a Skrull?

I guess you don't remember the 90s. Seriously though, are you heavily medicated or something because Marvel is at the best it has been in more then two decades.

Anyway... The Skrull story line has been in the works since before both HoM and Civil War. It has been said many, many times in numerous interviews that this will NOT retcon or undo any of the events of HoM or Civil War. It has also been said many times that none of the Civil War key players are Skrulls (That means Cap and Tony for those who aren't sure), in fact no Skrulls had any direct involvement in Civil War... at least from a Skrull "conquer the Earth" stand point.

Why would the Skrulls invade Earth right after they've been nearly wiped out by the Annihilation wave?

If the US or any other country on earth was devastated by a war, starting an invasion against another unrelated country would be pretty much one of the stupidest things to do.

I jhust want them to build on the new Eternals storyline.

and maybe mention in another comic the fact that a 2000 foot tall celestial is now standing in a park...

The only thing that pisses me off is the way Marvel are treating the Pro-Regs. What is supposed to be a legitimate law which (theoretically) makes sense. Is being twisted by Marvel into some kind of Nazi esq ideal with all 'unregistered Superhumans' under the jackboot.

Also the Thunderbolts suck , for all the good art and over extravagant violence they suck balls.

Frankly,i agree with the pro-reg deal.

Well they are meant to have been infiltrating for years as they believe earth to be their planet, its not so much an outright invasion as taking over from the inside.

I have to say, I hate this entire idea.

Sure, I like the idea of retconing SOME things from Civil War like Tony being a dick and Reed being an ass, but there were also some good things in Civil War with these characters.

Such as the issue where Tony had to kill his friend Happy Hogan. I thought that was a fantastic issue and it showed a lot of emotion in Tony's character, but it's going to be retconned with all of this.

Hell Bendis is even implying that Reed may have been a Skrull since the Kree-Skrull War! Thats over 20 years of retcon!

What the hell is marvel doing?!?

because they don't have a planet to live on anymore.

when did he imply that Reed was a Skrull? I'm pretty certain he said "possibly a member of the Illuminati" is a skrull. which leaves a lot more than just reed as options.

This thread already exists, I created it 😛

if you don't like how marvel's doing things up until this point, that's fine. if you don't want to spend your money, don't. but i get tired of hearing people saying things about upcoming events as if they've been handed a script and disapprove.

I agree entirely with what you are saying but to be fickle I wouldn't call it the Nostradamus approach. Whilst he made hundreds of predictions, there are only 103 where Nostradamus names an identifiable person, date, place etc and he was wrong.........103 times ✅

Latest issue of Wizard.

Bendis implied that Reed may have been a skrull since the end of the Kree-Skrull war.

This is all just part of Bendis's big plan to have Luke Cage lead the marvel universe 😘

His first step: Destroy the Avengers (Avengers Dissembled)

Second: Take out the X-men (HOM)

Now he's going to the rest of the big guns (the FF, Dr. Strange, ect..)

And isn't it funny as all of this is happening Luke Cage has become a bigger part of the MU? I'm telling you Bendis is trying to destroy marvel all in the name of Luke Cage!

While im not a huge F4 fan, if what Bendis implied is true then that would shit on a lot of key moments in F4 recent history. Like Reed going to hell to battle Doom, Would a skrull even go to those depths to keep its cover? When Reed and the F4 met "God" who was a comic book artist looking being, Does the skrulls have access to that kinda info? and im sure there more important stuff hes done. (I dont always follow F4)

God in the Marvel Universe is Jack Kirby (or at least he looks like him).

Anyway, thats exactly what I hate about all of this. It's basically saying that the good work that writers put into characters doesn't mean sh*t

So if Bendis DOES retcon anything before Civil War I may just boycott Marvel for a while

The worst thing is that they are going to use this to retcon Cap's death

Hell they already have done it with Wolverine before:
