Mass Resurrection ala Marvel

[blackruzsa]

I don't know if anyone's posted or seen this already, but there are quite a few spoilers here for the upcoming issues of Avengers: the Children's Crusade.

I'm keeping out a few tags on purpose for those who wish for no spoilers.

Sure, why not? Not like it damages the dramatic impact of past deaths.

*cue WAH WAH WAH WAAAAAAAAAAH*

Yet again, Doom proves that he's the greatest hero in the Marvel Universe!

Or, you know, he's done it for the same reason he agreed to help out Susan when she was giving birth to Valeria and Reed was busy doing something else. Namely to annoy Reed that he was able to do something good that Reed couldn't.

[flidgetjerome]

No reason he can't multi-task.

[eyz]

Damn' you, DOOOOOM!! *somewhere, Reed is shaking his fist, annoyed, as usual*
:P

[arilou_skiff]

The problem or Doom is that all his trolling attempts won't work because Reed doesen't really care. He's just pleased that Doom is doing something useful rather than launching his house into space.

[eyz]

Poor Doom...he only wanted Reed's attention, once in a while...

At the heart of each great arch-enemy, a broken heart :P

Anyways,
this sounds and looks too much like Blackest Night's conclusion all over again!

[nyadnar17]

Yeah Doom should start trolling Tony Stark instead. Tony would be much more "appreciative".

[brooms]

I was about to post it, you beat me to it!

He's looking mighty foine, isn't he :3

And this is why I can't wait 3 months for Cheung's art.

Also linking to this Heinberg interview, because he confirms Children's Crusade will pave the way for Avengers vs X-Men -

I don't think there's any way those resurrections stick, or Doom stays in his megapowered good-guy form for long.

Especially since it's pretty obvious Iron Lad is a Secret Bad Guy.

This is the part that bothers me...

[bewareofgeek]

"Allan Heinberg: It's revived and transformed him, burning away his ego and his insecurity, leaving only what is true and noble about Victor Von Doom."

Doom without his ego isn't Doom. :)

And yeah, I doubt this will stick.

[crabby_lioness]

How can it be a secret when he introduces himself as Kang?

Re: This is the part that bothers me...

[crabby_lioness]

If the supposedly ego-less Doom immediately starts correcting his own past mistakes, it might be real. If he immediately starts correcting his enemies' past mistakes, it's 100% BS -- and quintessential Doom.

[auggie18]

Oooohkay, took it too far. There's no way this is sticking now.

[auggie18]

Goddamn if the man doesn't draw a pretty Jean, though.

[blackruzsa]

Gotta love being in a country where the only area ahead of you in time is Australia :D

[blackruzsa]

Iron Lad is a Secret Bad Guy.

? :O

[nomadicwriter]

I'm not sure the resurrections there are actually 'real' as such; looking at the sequence of panels, it seems like what we're seeing could just be Doom doing a bit of a power demo:

Panel 1. Doom: "Look, see, I could be a benevolent god and do all this good stuff for you."
Panel 2. *Doom waves a hand and makes the good stuff disappear*
Panel 3. Doom: "Or, if you don't play nice, I could be the evil glowy eyed destructive kind of god instead."
Panel 4. Everybody else: "...Soooo, who decided it was a good idea to let Doom have the keys to the 'godlike power' cabinet again?"

Re: This is the part that bothers me...

[bewareofgeek]

Oh, I think it's real. I just expect it to last about 2 months before someone decides they need him as a villain again, and has him consciously decide to go back to the way he was or something. Bonus points if:

1) This turns out to be a Doombot, or
2) He purposefully scars himself.

[crabby_lioness]

Motto, although I think he'll try to be a bit more subtle than that.

[akodo_rokku]

Because teenagers are stupid!

[glprime]

Pretty everyone, really. It's why when I picture the Marvel U now, I do it through this or McNiven's work.

Doom Omnipotent.....

[capt_satellite]

....because it worked so well in Secret Wars >:(

[fifthie]

Fuck the dramatic impact of past deaths, they are always a cheap lazy hackwork device that should be reversed as soon as possible.

[fifthie]

Well okay... except for Hal.
