TWIMC: Aron E. Coliete

POSSIBLE SPOILERS WARNING

But by any right you shouldn't be caring about the most expensive and semi-ornate handful of glorified toilet paper this side of 'The da Vinci Code'.

See this preview of 'Ultimate X-Men #100'?

Well... Let's face it you haven't exactly proven yourself the best writer, have you?

You took the only visible Gay couple in the Ultimate Universe, crippled one and took the sensitive, artistic and gentle one and turned him into some horrible 'Roid-filled, Stereotypical Mess...

That drug in particular is a story of it's own. Named after a popular mainstream character ('Banshee'), when two different things with the same effect had already been introduced in the M/S MU... The Standard 'Mutant Growth Hormone' or 'MGH', with some overtones of Grant Morrison's 'Kick'... But rather than a sentient mould/bacterial life form, it turns out to be some drug...

...DERIVED FROM WOLVERINE'S DNA...

(Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooore...)

...Created by Xavier and Magneto, but canned by the Prof, so what did Mags do? Go and get Moira F*cking MacTaggert to produce it to fund her base on Muir Island, (baring in mind that the most powerful Psychic had been around her before now, in canon and none of this coming up before, mind...) and upon being confronted about it... Suddenly seems to have developed mutant powers of her own! A Sonic Scream, no less...

But no... That's not my point right now... Right now you are messing with my homeland, and by proxy, me...

If you honestly think that you can go around making out that our most important seat of Government, whilst full of every single MP and a series of European Superheroes are inside, can get inside and blow the place up, the only resistance having been from two overweight, poorly protected Police Officers dressed in uniforms that went out in the Eighties, armed only with truncheons?

Firstly, do your research mate (See Picture, Below). Every one with at least a Stab-Vest. The one's around Parliament? Armed and trained to kill. And that's just the ones on the outside... And don't even THINK of claiming it's to increase dramatic tension and/or about suspension of belief. A good writer can get around that and still get his point across.

Secondly, Racism much? I know it's not right to throw that word around wantonly, but I will not have my nation played up as a helpless bunch of over-weight (*ahem*), under-prepared losers ready for the Big, Bad-Ass Americans to swan in and play WWII Saviours again...

We are NOT victims.

And we NEVER WILL BE.

TWIMC: Marvel's X-Editors and Writers.

Firstly, TWIMC?

"To Whom it may Concern".

I'm crazy mad for syndicating ideas. Often to my detriment.

Secondly, aware that the last post I made may well have been a case of TL;DR... I'm keeping this short. Ish.

COULD WE GO BACK TO SEPARATE TEAMS, PLEASE?

And stop the near regular killing off of D-List Characters, while we're at it?

There are so few characters left at the moment, but yet the two core books, a key support and most satellite shorts and one-shots feature the same characters.

I mean, it was mainly a slight gripe that Wolverine was in all three Key Books at once... And I quite liked the usage of Emma Frost as a supporting character in the Adjectiveless run.

But now I see so much of (Badly Written, courtesy of Editorial Mandating) Cyclops it makes my head spin. And for no apparent reason, here's Wolverine:

Yep, Marvel has it's answer to Heath Ledger's Joker. Whereas the Dark Knight character is a Shark-like Predator that cuts it's way through the film driven by the need for Chaos; Marvel has the potential to have a Wolf-Like Predator that could cut it's way through any medium driven primarily by the need for Beer.

And whilst there are some writers who can manage this, poor Mr. Howlett is Marvel Comics' resident WHORE. A dirty, well-worn Village Bicycle written poorly by any Tom, Dick or Harry in an INSANE volume of titles with no real depth... Like there's a set of ball pits with Locations, Numbers, and Marvel's Villain Back Catalogue... Writer's take their pick, dip their member in some ink and splash away on some paper, with the more intelligible parts eventually deciding the next arc of the Wolverine ongoing...

This is of course wanton speculation... But how else would Jeph Loeb come up with a Magic Sword?

But I digress...

We have so many characters, even with M-Day having thinned out the numbers... Back in the old system we had random C/D-Listers stepping up to the plate... Hell, it still does happen (Vanisher in X-Force?). But it can't happen if the numbers falling and everyone clamors to have Cyke and Wolverine in their books. Eventually the same voices show up, the world begins to stagnate and it just becomes the same stories and interactions, over, and over, and over...

Even Iceman isn't featuring properly in a core title. So where do the Northstars and Husks come into it? Let alone the Lady Masterminds and Omega Sentinels...

PLEASE... Let the little guys take over.

If only for a while...
