( I know something yall dont know haha ) then we can have a debate.
For ONCE could someone PLEASE talk rationally about the "VERSION" of MM that SENTRY killed B.S.? A.K.A. The I HATE SENTRY CLUB mantra.
MM like SENTRY, like HULK, like Iron Man, like Magneto, like Dr. Strange, like YOU , like ME... etc... etc... etc... can all regulate how much power they/we are going to use or not going to use. They/we can ratchet it up or down; when it's needed or not needed. Dependent on whatever factor they/we deem viable at the time.
One "COULD" say that to begin the battle between MM and SENTRY; MM was at a self governed lower power level because of his recent past works and problems. He chose to detune himself. One "COULD" legitimately say that.
And we'll run with that for argument sake.
So the first time MM tried to kill SENTRY he was detuned... SENTRY came back.
One "COULD" argue that MM may have been a little miffed or discouraged about SENTRY coming back and chose to up the ante and give his shot at killing SENTRY a little more juice; upping his power at tap... SENTRY came back.
MM is now on panel noticeably concerned and confused and now scared. One "COULD" again argue that MM felt that he needed to once again up his level of power to try and finally complete his desired goal to KILL SENTRY for good. One "COULD" argue that MM went to "11" and is now completely unhooked and is willing to go "ALL OUT" or to "FULL POWER and he tries to kill SENTRY once and for all.
But,... SENTRY comes back. AGAIN.
And it is now when he is at this "FULL POWER" level; when SENTRY says "I'm done playing this game with you OWEN". SENTRY then quickly overpowers him, takes control of him completely. Obviously against Owens will of self preservation and one "COULD" then argue while Owen was at "FULL POWER" SENTRY was to much he overpowered him and he killed him.
Juss sayn'
