Carry on...

It's not like say the Ellisbolts or Dark Avengers where they were still bad people and putting on a show for the public.

Date: 2013-09-04 11:43 pm (UTC)Maybe I'm giving it too much thought, but Otto as Spider-Man isn't interfering with time here -- he isn't going back in the past or vice versa to disrupt something -- so come 2099 whatever he's done should have already happened with no issue. Nothing he's done should disrupt anything.

Date: 2013-09-05 04:26 am (UTC)Between Age of Ultron, Battle of the Atom, Infinity, the New Avengers Illuminati arc and now this Spider-Man 2099, everyone's going on about how "Time is Broken".
I'm calling it now; Starting in 2014, Octo-Spider will screw up big time and the whole city of New York, egged on by JJJ, will see him as the villain he is. He'll completely lose it and say something like, "I save this city and this is how you ingrates behave? Then I'll raze this city to the ground!" Meanwhile a Spider-Man clone, containing the mind of the real Peter Parker, will step forward for a final epic battle. After a battle that levels several city blocks, Peter Parker will stand triumphant, but so emotionally drained by his ordeal that he won't care anymore. He'll look at the unconscious body of his enemy, his own body, and chooses to abandon his ethics, deciding that after all he's been through, nothing really matters anymore. He raises his fists to deliver the killing blow--
Meanwhile the Avengers, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men will be embroiled in a struggle to "fix time", maybe going up against Kang the Conqueror or Apocalypse, who wants to reorder time to suit their worldview or something. They will succeed in essentially rebooting the time-stream, just as Spider-man is about to kill Ock. A huge flash of white light engulfs the cosmos--
And Peter Parker is now a college freshman, caught in a love-triangle between brainy blond Gwen Stacy and party-girl redhead MJ Watson. Meanwhile, Dr. Donald Blake is about to discover a willow staff that will turn into the Hammer of Thor, the Avengers consist of Captain America and his Kooky Quartet, Danny Rand and Luke Cage have just started a new detective agency called Heroes for Hire and the X-Men consist of the All-New All Different line-up of Claremont's heyday, and are welcoming their newest member Kitty Pryde.
In other words, Marvel's Flashpoint. An entirely new Marvel Universe, all continuity tossed aside, loads of new titles and boatloads of angry fans.
In the name of Jack Kirby I'll bet I'm wrong. But what if I'm not?

You'd make a better writer and editor than most of what Marvel seems to be producing.
Currently, it seems like all Marvel "Creators", at least in the "writing" area....are permanently wearing a troll-face. Can't write one thing? Ignore it and do your own thing.
There is no more Canon or Continuity, even within writers and their own runs. "I hate this." "You started it." "Nope nope. Don't care. Hate it. CHANGING EVERYTHING." Fans: "This is crap. We want XYZ." "Creators: "Fine. XYZ Monkey Paw Style" Fans: "....... Blast It."
I'd almost be okay with a Marvel Flashpoint. Not like they can mess up 616 any worse than it already is.

Date: 2013-09-05 07:41 am (UTC)Then I got annoyed as a 2099 fan to see that this version of 2099 seems to be more advanced and actually able to look in on the Heoric age since one of the defining aspects of the original was that after the collapse of the heroic age most of the details were lost. (Plus like it or loathe it at the end Uatu's death in 2099 Manifest destiny stopping a second collapse was awesome.)
Then I found myself wishing for the old days when the Marvel Multiverse wasn't so DC like and time couldn't be so badly effed up and broken. Between the frankly boring epic going on over in the Avengers Titles, the time travel in x-men and now this I'm just sick of seeing Time is broke woe stuff going on in Marvel that reads like rejected concepts for one of DC's Reboot set ups.
