didn't see Panther as very cool back in his days as the Avengers token screw up:
Black Panther today is more like his first appearance
My dislike doesnt completely come from Panther's rampant overpowering, it comes from his personality shifting from that of a basically nice guy to a raging douche nozzle.
Snow FTW

hulk's another one for marvel. idiocy. for how many decades did we debate who was stronger ultimately, thor or hulk. and now you have hulk capable of what--collaterally destroying worlds?? vaporizing supposed enemies who were at one time able to battle him and yet, even at "10000x" their normal power they are less than nothing?? lol ridiculous. but that seems to be the thing at marvel. monica rambeau is next in line, easy to see that already. i really do hate the trend but even more, i don't understand it. if they were good characters to begin with, this approach should not be necessary.
So very true. BP, IF, Cage, Thanos, Hulk, Wolverine were all ones I used to like early on but came to find annoying or outright dislike for the same reasons. Too many unnecessary pushes and over the top bulls*** with them. X-characters, Monica, all of them. BP is just a douche. I still sometimes like (and want to like) IF and Wolverine (the real one) but tone it down a little Marvel I also hate Prestige because... Prestige.

I wasn't talking about thanos story overall just his last few years with over saturation. I always thought of thanos I guess how you see DC characters as meant to be OP or already OP so shrug

The last few years results from the movie appearances and upcoming movie. That's only to be expected. Aside from that, any other push came about 27 years ago. That's an old push.
monica is still cool in my book and deserved to have her powers explored a little more closely. cosmic awareness now though? casual mention of her being able to destroy a planet? why? she was very cool already. does everyone need to be able to destroy a planet? i don't mind bm either but the ultimates in general i do not like at all-- i still read the book though, but often as not i'm rooting for them to get their a$$es kicked. very pretentious as a group and ms america doesn't help. seriously--THEY solve the problem of galactus?? reed and tony have faced him how many times? and galactus himself, with his knowledge, his equipment, his cosmic awareness, yet a group of humans evolve him? wtf? galactus is among the smartest beings in the universe but he couldn't figure out a way to solve his own issue, the ultimates had to? yeah, not buying it. even the ease with which they took thanos out twice didn't sit well with me. some interesting situations though, and a way to keep abreast of cosmic shenanigans in marvel, hence why i read it still. /shrug

Now what is the issue with Cage and Monica? Heck, what is the issue with Iron Fist?Anyone have a problem with Storm, Blue Marvel, Miss America or Falcon? There are a couple of posters who seem negative toward Blue Marvel and some who don't like The Ultimates.

Nope, dont hate Boseman, just BP.
It'll be the first MCU movie i wont watch.
No, what I'm saying is there's nothing wrong with TChalla. Just that writers have taken him in a direction you disagree with.
And if you decide not to see the Black Panther flick that's fine. It's your loss.
