Comic Book Questions & Discussion

Yeah, fights even in events have been quite underwhelming in the last decade or so tbh.

Immortal Hulk vs Thing on his honeymoon?

That one sucked, only butthurt Hulk haters liked it.

Ikaris/Thanos battle looks pretty good from the previews.

Daredevil and Kingpin vs. a horde of supervillains trying to assrape Hell's Kitchen deserves a mention.

Thing vs Hulk was fine, the stakes were personal and there were several things going on at once. I found the clock thing kind of distracting though

It's alright, but that was soooooo underwhelming.

That fight was teased for a long time, and Thor hit him twice lol.

I don't think writers know how to make epic scenes anymore, not in Marvel anyway.

Maestro Hulk vs Herc.

And Iron Fist vs Elektra.

By Bendis, of all people.

I bet after this event the marvel holy trinity ranking would be

SS>Herald Thor>Merged Sentry

SS fan will be proud

It wasn't bad. Thor wasn't going to win, it'd be too easy and his opponent was much stronger. It wasn't going to be anything but a curbstomp for the sake of the story. That said, it was a good fight, very entertaining to me

Maestro Hulk vs Herc.

Yeah that was good too.

Good on Hulk, he had good fights.

Hulk has good fights consistently.

That's his main and only appeal.

Thankfully that's mostly what comics is about. Not good stories.

disagreed, Immortal Hulk is probably the best ongoing currently among both companies

Any modern Hulk vs. Thor fight is pure platinum and, deep inside, you know it 🙂

Thor still has Hulk's number in direct encounters, it's getting closer now though

No, he really doesn't.

Rage, leave MrMind's account alone, go back to your Somalian overlords.

Yeah, it's probably about time now IIRC.

Though ill have to check...I think Thor was up by a few.

The only guys that had Hulk's number were Surfer and Bi-Beast, iirc.

Thor's best showings were unresolved battles after which he got traumatized and was shitting his pants each time he saw something green.

The only good fights are at street level. Anything higher is trash

Yeah, true.

I'd add Sentry/Void to the list, but he's not looking so good nowadays after WWH and MK 20th.

Street fights are the worst.

A buncha powerless pajama wearers that use moves that are supposedly skillfully but wouldn't actually work in real life.

Being a fan of street level characters in comics is like eating a vegan burger.
