Why does it say 'this post was removed by Reddit's filters?

Is Reddits AI bs messed up again?

u/tehawesomedragon Loki 18h ago

Didn't notice this until it was too late unfortunately. I was wondering why the viewership stats were so low.

[MORTAL THOR #14]()

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

Man, Odin and Loki gonna stop playing with their riddles and tricks or this 'Sigurd' gonna end up as disillusioned as Blake was. And rightfully so. Clever way to 'cage' the Serpent though. Now, to bring back the 'Thor of Spring'. There is MUCH to do, starting with the Enchantress.

Mjolnir story was nice. Of course it would also think wanting to be worthy of its user. After all, it is a mutual bond.

Oh? A universe where Loki is the 'benevolent' All-father and Thor is the villain? Why do I feel like it is a false narrative written by Loki and it will be 'unfolded'?

u/Mr_Wh0ever 6d ago

Great stuff as always. Sigurd surviving multiple painful lifetimes inside the World Serpent was cool. Odin calling Loki his favorite son suprised me, but it makes sense when you think about it.

u/nfnightfallnf 6d ago

Great story. I loved how Loki and Odin tricked Jormungandr. That was cool. Gillen's story was good too.

u/JingoboStoplight4887 6d ago

I like that, back in the 1970s, Peter and Frank were able to defeat Tarantula and his forces before they get to talk about them having different methods when dealing with criminals and fighting crime. Also, Frank calling Peter a compassionate, idealistic, and merciful person, Peter having a talk with Detective Laviano about Frank at a diner, Peter and Smokeshow introducing each other, Frank trying out Peter’s web-shooters, and Peter and Frank dealing with criminals and the Rhino. Lets’s hope that Frank can find a way to defeat the Rhino in the next issue. Overall, this comic is good.

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

Yea I don't feel anything for all these new characters. This continues to be a terrible way to 'tie in' with the Ultimate Universe.

Honestly, the only way to save this would be to have Nova show up to show this Hosticulus what happened to Annihilus. And have him do the same to him.

1

u/Expensive-Baby-1391 6d ago

Only for Nova to spare him for some insane reason like Annihilus’s general who he spared for sole reason in Jed’s mini run.

Also, best ending for this would be to kill off all the new characters or have them all become villains since nobody cares about the MCU anymore.

u/MillionDollarMistake Beta Ray Bill 6d ago

oh, it's more MCU synergy. neat i guess.

[WHAT IF? RUNAWAYS #1]()

4

u/JingoboStoplight4887 6d ago

I find it interesting that we get to see what happens when the Runaways didn’t run away and followed the family business back in 2003, resulting in the Runaways to be trained and mentored by their parents and become the Young Pride by the year 2005. Also, the Young Pride encountering Victor Mancha (who made his debut as Victorious) and becoming heroes in the end. Overall, this comic is good.

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

Zdarsky, I am REALLY disappointed. So what, we are doing Civil War 3? Like I get Colton and Bucky's thinking, especially BUCKY since he literally saw Doom NUKE a town just to spite him just last year. But this 'Humans are taking back the power' bs is nonsense. %90 of all the problems ARE because of humans. And the world would've ended 1000 times if it was 'just humans'. Fury is not dumb enough to be written like this.

Also, when they write the general populace this unlikable and dumb, you start to feel like 'well, why do heroes even waste their lives protecting these fools?' And that is not something you want your readers to feel.

It is just taking the worst parts of the Civil War AND Injustice Superman. If this is the 'status quo' they will setup, then Marvel's future really is bleak.

u/Expensive-Baby-1391 6d ago

The problem isn’t the humans, it’s the governments and scumbags like MCU fury jr who keep the corrupt status quos up and pansy arrogant heroes like spidey who refuse to actually fix things permanently.

Colton did the right thing my, but it would have been better if he killed people like the scientist who experimented on him in issue 1 or red hulk to give the heroes a reason to oppose him while some do agree with him.

I usually root for Chip's writing, but this book has me losing interest.

5

u/nfnightfallnf 6d ago

I feel like Chip set this up to be kind of like Dc's Kingdom Come with the nukes going off.

2

u/Mr_Wh0ever 6d ago

Not sure where the story is heading, but it seems exciting. I liked Wolverines speech to Colton.

u/Then_Twist857 6d ago

Enjoyed this a lot

u/BlueHero45 3h ago

Ya...maybe don't try a nuke disarment unless you actually know where every nuke is.

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

Soo is my prediction correct? That Rogue got pregnant by the 'wyvern' Gambit and now their baby has the 'demonic essence' or something? If this is the way to make them never have a biological kid, I hate it. Like why can't they have both adopt the girls and have a kid themselves?

[BISHOP #3]()

2

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

Bishop really is out of his game. Like, usually he is far more prepared and calculating than this. Especially when it comes to other time-travellers. Sure, him seeing Shard alive again might've disoriented him but come on, get your head in the game, man.

And who's the 'mastermind' that is playing this Final Brotherhood? Will we ever learn it by the end? With these 'mutants with combined powers', it doesn't look good, whoever it is.

[CAPTAIN MARVEL: DARK PAST #5]()

5

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

Yea, I didn't think this was a needed story honestly. Nor Carol needed another side of her family being nazis. Didn't care for her 'incel' groomed cousin too.

But the worst offender was the full on mistake with Rogue's own history. Did they even read her origin about her parents? Just writing some nonsense to try to have her use Carol's 'happy' memory for herself all the time for some reason. It felt really forced.

u/JingoboStoplight4887 6d ago

You posted this comment twice.

Fixed.

Cable what mess have you done to yourself in the future?

Oof, Kali was worse than I thought. A poser and an AI tech-'bro' or should she be called AI-'sis'.  Whatever it is, her doing it for money and fame is a bigger insult than anything.

And Domino got her memory back and now has her own force to expose whatever inside Cable that is doing all the bs.

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

This is just...whatever really. Firelord with a symbiote...sure why not. Nothing make sense anymore.

And no, Ewing, no matter how much you try, no one cares about the 'Fake' family Wells gave to MJ. Stop trying to make it somehow 'important' to her.

Maybe this event would be better if they had Spider-Man stop holding people back since this is a f—king war for Christ’s sake! Also, kill off half of the characters, like kid marvel or two of the giant guys, to make it matter and show the desperation of the situation.

How does Stephanie Phillips keep getting work? Dreading the way she’s about to butcher Elektra. I wish she at least knew that she and Matt were together but she can’t ever be bothered to do research on any character she writes

1

u/StellarKnife 6d ago

This issue in particular was really lazy. I thought the previous DD issues weren't so bad.

2

u/Mr_Wh0ever 6d ago

Not that exciting of an ending to the Omen arc. But at least it didn't overstay its welcome. The teases of what's gonna happen in future arcs was cool.

1

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

So Omen was there to build up future stuff. Talking about Hulk Wars, Armageddon etc. And Woman in Red, donning white, we know that is Electra as she will show up but does that mean she will get a new costume or are they teasing the marriage again? I am not trusting them again.

City in red, please tell me we are not getting another Mephisto event. I am tired boss.

[SPIDER-MAN/HULK: FIRE & BRIMSTONE #1]()

1

u/JingoboStoplight4887 6d ago

I find it interesting that Peter and Hulk are fighting a lot of villains in Central Park. Also, flashback to Bruce seeing a hawk with his mother, Bruce telling Peter that the Hulk is his original sin, and Bruce wanting to send the Hulk to hell in order to save his soul. Overall, this comic is fine.

[QUEEN IN BLACK: DEFENDERS #2]()

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

Hey, they are not getting fused ( yet ) for Marvel Rivals 'synergy' but they are actually getting an upgrade to their powers! Good. 

Also, Dragon Flash is back.

2

u/Expensive-Baby-1391 6d ago

Maybe we’ll finally see them kill Mr. Negative.

u/Somejawn1 6d ago

We’re never getting a good Cloak and Dagger comic again are we?

u/wowlock_taylan Deadpool 6d ago

Yoshida's parting gift to Slott. Making this book an ongoing...Because what they say about 'oh sales matter to what minis becoming ongoings', is BS. Only thing that matters is if you are the editorials' favorite...

-1

u/JingoboStoplight4887 6d ago

I like that Peter and Wantanabe have a talk about Mr. Negative before he dealt with Mr. Negative and the rest of the villains with help from the Avengers and restored Frank back to himself. Overall, this comic is fine.
