Worse caracterizations

At times a character is poorly written, contradicting his classic or established behavior and his personality. The idea of the thread is to discuss bad interpretations of the characters.

Let's start with:

Bendis Dialogue.

Bendis means that everybody will be swearing non-stop.

Loeb's characterization is also pretty poor. All characters exist solely to compliment one guy.

I generally give Mark Millar a little leeway, because when he's good, I always really enjoy him- but his characterization of Johnny Storm is pretty bad.

Either that, or he's just ignoring the past thirty years of work on the Human Torch just for kicks.

Starlin. Thanos&Adam Warlock are the only characters he can write at all decently.

Mcduffie. Just........Mcduffie.

Geoff Johns. Hate to agree with Val, but when he bombs, he bombs hard. Doesnt' do it very often, but he's dropped the ball a few times.

Whoever was writing Flash with those two kids. That guy needs to die.

Dr Doom as of late has been bad

Amen.

Whoever the writer is of the new Deadpool series (I don't recall the name) is crappy, too. I want Fabian Nicieza. 🙁

...Consequently, Nicieza's portrayal of Genis-Vell during the New Thunderbolts run was pretty bad.

Bendis is probably one of the best comic writers when it comes to dialogue 😐

I love Millar's work ✅

Warren Ellis' dialogue in Astonishing is cringe worthy. 🙁

True that, normally I love the guy, but I don't get his X-men.

The guy who drew Namor in the Secret Illuminati issue... Really, what's up with that?

Doesn't do it often? I'm sure Johns writes more than one comic a month. ha-som

Alex Maleev

Terrax, in that Sentry issue. All eco terroristy.

Terrax is not a pissed off hippy.

Wolverine in any Ennis book. I mean, he went berserk because Punisher said that he is short. Also he was screaming like a little girl all the time.. 😘

Most comic heroes in Ennis books are written like retarded 10 year olds.

Ennis does not like the costumes 😕

you honestly think so?

I just reread some SS v3 stuff, and the changeover from Ron Marz to Mike Lackey was f*cking painful to see. I mean, Morg goes from an intergalactic warrior and executioner to being given a Confederate Southern American accent. I mean, 'namby-pamby,' and 'cause I had ta team up with that sissy...' facepalm

Horrible.

Freaking adores him. Read the issue of Hitman where Tommy meets Superman. The only writer I've ever seen give such a great "Superman is awesome" speech is Morrison.

Or the JLA/Hitman crossover. That came out pretty recently. Most of the JLA are written typical Ennis style (except for Wonder Woman), but Superman is, again, treated respectfully and reverently.
