I'm curious if all the Aliens/Predator material prior to this will still be canon, or if it will become 'Legends' or some shit...

In Magneto's case, his ideals were shaped from experience. He survived the Nazi concentration camps. He knows what's it's like for someone to impose their total will on you through torture. his attitude of superiority is ABSOLUTELY right, Had I survived something that horrific, I'd more than likely be paranoid of it happening again. I'd also want to put myself in a position of it never happening again. He is extreme as he is because of the extreme things that were done to him. That's more understandable than someone feeling their superior simply because of the color of their skin. This generation is too soft, nothing less.

Nobody is saying his position isn't understandable, though.

It's the "punishing the innocent for what was done to him" part that people have a problem with,

So what’s the final verdict of last of us 2? Worth getting? Heard very mixed results

Good gameplay and graphics. Weak, inconsistent story.

what it can be and what its trying to be is 2 different things.

Meaning what?

The current approach is a combination of Xavier, Magneto et al. It doesn't work without Xavier's side of things.

Have you boys heard about Marvel getting Aliens and Predator IP?

I'm really, really cautious about it, tbh. Some of the Dark Horse stuff is fantastic.

I'd be amazed if any of it was kept, tbh.

Yeah, I bet you're right. They'll probably do the same thing they did with SW and make it all non-canon.

Yeah make it non-canon and produce new stories to maximum money. Though wonder if they will make it under a new label or keep it under the Marvel brand...maybe Marvel Max?

Except that Hickman's run explicitly stated, iirc, that the reason they joined forces was that neither of their approaches were right, and needed to meet in the middle.

Magneto is still right and I read why. Humans were doing some extreme shit and making a sovereign mutant nation in which mutant kind is protected is a mix and mash of both approaches. Charles plan didnt work that's why they made krakoa. Moira proved complancey would kill them off that's why she radicalized charles

Hopefully it'll be under the MAX imprint. What makes the Alien/Predator comics work(for me, at least) is the heavy violence and overall horror overtones.

Might be a good time to mention this:

How can you agree and disagree at the same time?

I would say it's worth getting but depending on how invested you are in the story, it might be better to wait for a sale.

He's embodying the spirit of Magneto.

So Stilt, why the hate for Ultimate Thor?

Is it because he starts acting just like 616 Thor at the end of Ultimates 2?

I tolerated him when he knew his place:

Ultimate Colossus was a beast. That was a contained nuke he withstood. He was stomping Thor and Ironman during that instant. The only person I think in Ultimates that could take Colossus was Juggernaut.

Supposedly nothing changed. The gameplay is more polished, while story wise is trash beyond trash.

That’s what I got from some reviewers, and since I have no intention of shelling $60+, I guess you’ll have to take the plunge yourself.

Ultimate Colossus was trash

Ult. Colossus had plenty of good showings, true.

Ultimate Juggernaut sucked, though. He was powerful only in his first appearance, when Millar wrote him.

After that... he was reduced to a joke.

Yeah, Ultimate Colossus has some good feats, but after the first couple of arcs he's written terribly. Like, worse than 616, and that's saying something.

To be fair now, the entire Ultimate Universe dropped in quality after a while... no exceptions... well, maybe Miles Morales was one exception.
