Every time I write a new FF member, they become my favorite FF member. Case in point: The Thing. Just a couple of days ago I wrote a scene with Ben, and there's a reason he's one of the most beloved heroes Marvel has. -- Al Ewing

Ya know, I'm just not feeling this.

No complaints about the wedding, but I really don't like the choice of villains. Here we have what had been the most peaceful race of aliens, collectively turning into space Nazis overnight.

Meanwhile, the good guy aliens...were the space Nazis, until now.

And frankly? I'm getting tired of every damn crossover having some element of personal betrayal. Even if this one is pretty far removed ("First Avengers baby betrayed us!")

That seems like an odd thing to complain about. As for the Cotati, it's not like they were all that relevant before this and their grievances make sense and ultimately they were manipulated by Quoi.

The world is ending, you only have a few minutes to save it, and kind of helped cause the problem in the first place.

Tuesday lunchtime for Reed and Tony.

[cainofdreaming]

Yeah, I was about to ask what they were going to do with the leftover six minutes.

And millions of light years away, Roberto da Costa suddenly looks up from what he was doing, and finds a single tear rolling down his cheek...
... but since he's being written by Jonathan Hickman, he doesn't remember anything that Hickman didn't write, and so therefore has no idea why he's feeling pride, and shrugs it off.


Meanwhile: Friggen racist space-grandmas. They ruin everything!

(is a bit weird at the end when Kl'rt finds out his apparent king is an impostor and his actual king is right there, but still attacks him anyway...
then again, good decision making ain't Kl'rt's defining attribute.)
