With comics, what makes you say "okay, that's enough"?

It was enough to put me seriously off reading Bullseye centred stories, and like everyone else I'm entitled to my opinion.

anyways the adamantium crap where they said supes was taking blast that would shatter adamantium is in his respect thread,.. and their are dozens and i mean dozens of these types of example where DC pokes fun of marvel characters in a purposely mean spirited way..

and the mid 90's was when it seemed to be a race to get DC characters back up to their asinine power lvls pre crisis which coincided with similar feats that marvel had perform making sure DC characters performed superior to the marvel counterpart.

now this is what i noticed.. i gave some examples and it is my opinion it is not a lie or how you put it not true... you just dont have to agree. 😇


There is a lot of teasing like that in comics. The Authority killed so many DC and Marvel analogues.

wasn't trying to imply that you aren't entitled thus, just checking whether it actually had the effect of making you stop reading. a lot of the complaints in this thread seem to not be about that.

i actually now remember when i said i am done with marvel... i cut my comics drastically no more weakly pulls and only bought what interested me story wise.. it was when sentry came out i bought the comic and i was annoyed i knew it was a scam had to be.. then his origin was too cheesy and he just didnt make sense at all.. after that i would just buy random comics or wait for hardback comics

HULK... WHEN HE HAS TOO MUCH RED BULL

I guess what annoyed me about it was, subsequently, the Sentry was like "oh yeah, I guess I am molecule man. lolz!"

😠 too right I'll complain. Comic book or no comic book, writers should have enough respect for readers, to NOT show characters exhibiting new unexplained powers, for the sake of a story.
Imagine if the following happened. Spiderman was surrounded by a load of his rogues gallery, and then (in a thought bubble) states "my only hope is the Spidersense mindout" With the artist depicting Spiderman's SS with the usual wavy lines emenating from Spidey's head, all the surrounding villains fall to the ground, holding their heads in agony, eventually passing out from the pain. Spidey has used his SS in an offensive move, causing excruciating headaches which render his foes unconscious.

If the above happened we would all be up in arms about how Marvel have lost the plot, because we know the SS doesn't work that way. Why should we believe that Bullseye, who is meant to be peak human, has super powered lungs that enable him to spit item out of his mouth with enough force to kill??

Its not an unexplained power its his skill...FFS. Thats one of the most ridiculous complaints i've ever heard. Super powered lungs? Cap can hurt bricks with his punches does Cap have super strength?

We see normal people, in the real world, break bricks with their hands... Cap is much stronger than any normal human, so your logic kinda falls apart using that example. smashing a brick wall is completely within the realm of possibility for someone without super strength, but spitting with that much force would require far more than human ability. There's also the extraordinary things he does with small objects; It's very possible to use a playing card to cut someone, but to slice open a person's neck from yards away is definitely a superhuman feat.

I know Bullseye doesn't technically have powers, but we may as well say he does because some of his feats are outlandish.

by bricks he means super durable and strong characters not actual bricks

lol, my mistake; but the basic principle still applies. Cap is as strong as a human can possibly be, so using that as an example to negate the argument about Bullseye's feat, fails.

When someone tanks nuclear bombs point blank cap hitting them shouldnt even register

who specifically are you talking about?

Hey, now that I think of it, about this thread:

Morrison digressions.

One character appearing in more then one book all at the same time.

Please. Enough.

When characters start moving planets level - sub sky-father characters - the energy levels to complete such a task are juts ludicrous, and the forces involved would literally anhilate anything on the planet. Its comparable to opening a door with a nuke !

when you can punch your way through time by pure strength or a dimension... 🤨

If you don't get it or understand it is because you're either STUPID, A COMPLETE IDIOT, LOW MINDED, AN IMBECILE, POORLY EVOLVED and so much. It takes a great mind to know what Morrison have writen....you don't have it...you're stupid.

Agreed.

those are some pretty weak examples.

and if you really want to get in to it, Marvel takes a hell of a lot more blatant and outright mean shots at DC than vice versa.

Adamantium doesnt exist in DC.

I will say that at times I personally feel like Marvel has some kind of grudge against DC's characters and the like, both in universe in the comics and outside of it as far as their business practices go. Take that whole "Deadpool variant cover" promotion Marvel did where you basically had to destroy various Blackest Night comics in order to get it.
