Totally agree.
I know this to be true because I was soooo willing to give him a chance. I love the whole idea behind Sentry, but never thougth it was ever executed well.
I picked up the mini drawn by Jr Jr (not the Paul Jenkins original mini) and it was bad. I thought I'd give him a second chance. Bendis's New Avengers was good and I thought the second Sentry centric story would be a good opportunity to prove that Sentry could be fun. It didn't do it for me.
I was waiting for the time when we'd see Setry's memories uncovered. This didn't happen. I'm glad they killed him off but in doing so, they kinda proved they can't do much else with him. Marvel really screwed up with that character.

Sentry had an interesting beginning, but it was clear he would play second fiddle to Thor once he returned from his sleep.
Kind of too bad. Superman & Captain Marvel found a way to co-exist, after everything that happened off page.

also, when is dc going to admit it's a "crisis" event a couple years after "final crisis"? characters are being reborn under the brightest day banner.
- m-day and all the boring stuff it produced
- any version of magneto that sucks, what a disgrace

The thing with OMD and BND is that the Spiderman I have grown up with would not be stupid and gullible enough to make a deal with the devil. Marvel had obviously written themselves into a corner, with Pete's dual identity being public knowledge, his increased powers-making people who could give him a good tussle before easily beatable. And there was his chilling threat to Kingpin, itself out of character.
So obviously, someone at Marvel said "hey, how about we somehow get rid of Spiderman 's recent upgrades, restore Aunt May to health, make Parker single again, and restore his secret identity. It will make Spiderman more fun" -so it came to pass that Peter Parker, one of Marvels most experienced, moral heroes makes a deal with a demon. GOOD GOD!!!! I think Pete would've refused Mephisto's offer if he made it to him just after he caught the burglar that shot Uncle Ben-even though Pete was 15 at the time.
And what was wrong with the marriage??? why wipe out 20+years of continuity-thats an insult to comic book fans who have read the Spiderman books all through that period. Even back in Civil War, when Pete at 1st joined the registered side-why did Marvel have him going completely public. Sureley all he needed to do was register and have his identity kept as classified info by the govt/SHIELD. With Spiderman's long list of enemies, it was a pretty stupid move to go completely public, as any ANY friend of his would be a potential super villain target. I know he was being influenced by a rather obnoxious version of Tony Stark-but even Stark (as he was behaving at the time) shouldn't want to push Parker into an action that could have catastrophic consequences for his loved ones

Making Spider-Man identity public was a poor writing choice, but that was nothing nest to the total failure/insult/pimp slap that they gave to us, fan, with OMD and BND. The dynamic between MJ and Peter was pretty interesting, and at least, they could have divorce, or really, anything but this piece of shit.

Maybe it's possible Marvel will bring them back together?
Once upon a time, DC said with as straight a face as possible, they were killing off Superman because he wasn't selling well enough. Gone from the scene for awhile, but just inevitable that he came back (And I never believed they meant it.) Over 30 years of Peter & MJ being a couple has to count for something; the writers just want to explore new directions for a while.
