enough with the Hood already

Tanjint · 02-04-2008, 01:41 PM

He felt like a filler to stall Skrull-ness six months ago and he feels like filler to stall the Skrull-ness now. Dude and his people got their asses stomped twice in this latest NA arc and he's still creeping about the shadows talking about "I know how to stop them now!" *barf* This fool's ass needs to stay stomped. he doesn't even look cool. he's just AnyWhiteGuy, USA in a red hood.

This dude is wasting my time; I bought this annual becaue I was told it wraps this hood arc up. between this and Strange leaving NA, consider NA dropped.

Yeah, but he loves iTunes...

Edogawa1983 · 02-04-2008, 01:44 PM

Hood was a villain for an arc.....

don't be hating on a BKV creation.

Tanjint · 02-04-2008, 01:48 PM

I love BKV but like I've said since this arc started

a)I shouldn't have to buy and read another trade/hrdcvr to appreciate a villain. He should just be dope. Maybe if and when someone buys me a copy of BKV's hood story.

and yeah he was a villain for an arc but it just really pisses me off that he was like "Oh NOW I know how to beat them!" in the annual. it was cheesy and implies he'll be back but I don't want this dude back for a minute.

Villains always come back and try to beat the heroes, it's how it works. They just usually don't proclaim it.

Next time Gadget, next time!

Tanjint · 02-04-2008, 02:18 PM

that's what i'm saying; this to me, implies he'll be back soon. and i don't want that.

Bendis want him to be the new Kingpin since the old one is gone..I don't see anything wrong with trying to establish a new character.

the HOOD rulz!!!

KOSLOX · 02-04-2008, 02:25 PM

This was his first major attempt. He didn't win but he definitely put a hurt to the team, plus his attack effectively broke up the current line-up. I'd say he did a pretty decent job. Also it gives the NA a villain that's a fairly credible threat, especially with Doc. Strange out of action.

Dude. Villains ALWAYS do that. They get beat, come up with some new plan and get beat again. I'll agree with you that the Hood shouldn't be the constant nemesis for the NA, but he's going to be somewhat reoccuring. (like masters of evil with Classic Avengers, Scoprion with Spiderman) .

I like the idea of some new blood in the Marvel Universe.

It's better than constantly relying on the same ol' guys over and over and over again.

You're dropping a book because a villain MIGHT come back?

RoiVampire · 02-04-2008, 02:52 PM

Just because you don’t think the hood is dope doesn’t mean he’s not dope. The Hood rocks in my opinion. He’s a welcome addition to the marvel cast of villains.

There is, of course, a flipside to that.

Just sayin'.

jbapk · 02-04-2008, 03:08 PM

For wanting to build him up into the next big villain, he sure looked like a loser in this arc. The Kingpin worked because while X superhero might stop one of his plans, the Kingpin himself was untouchable, and usually had a sideplan that went through.

I amazed that people are shocked that somebody would drop a book because they don't like the characters or storylines in the book. That seems pretty standard to me.

If he were a main character and the focus of multiple story lines, sure, I get it.

But he's appeared in one arc for the first time in like 8 years.

Plus he's a villain... not a recurring main character who's joined the team.

Dropping a book based on that seems... like overreacting.

Tanjint · 02-04-2008, 03:28 PM

"between this and Strange leaving NA, consider NA dropped."

my first post^

Strange leaving is a big part of the equation.

I'm gonna get all of SI in trade so I will end up buying the upcoming stories. But I am no longer picking this book up monthly.

dorknerdgeek · 02-04-2008, 03:31 PM

I don't think the Hood will be back, say, next issue or anything...I just think he'll be back. Maybe not even until after the whole Secret Invasion thing is done playing out.

Tanjint · 02-04-2008, 03:37 PM

that's acceptable.

and yes I know villains always 'come back' and that's fine but allow me to clarify.

The fact that he said "I know how to beat them now!!" right after getting his ass whupped is annoying. Say he said "I'll be back!" or some ____ like that...that makes sense and is standard.

Skatonic10 · 02-04-2008, 03:59 PM

Seriously? It feels good to get some things changed up for a while. The Kingpin is out of the picture. The villains havn't really ganged up in a while - so its nice to see them kicking some ass then getting beat down.

And... wouldn't it be even more interesting to see how The Hood reacts when the real sh!t hits the fan with the Skrulls. Will he still continue to protect his little band of merry men? Or will he run away screaming like a little girl.

At least it looks as if Bendis is setting his story up for a good conclusion though - between the Hood demon and Dr. Strange.

I love the hood, how can one hate the hood?

Tanjint · 02-04-2008, 04:01 PM

I hope that's the case. I hope Bendis works with strange again. I just got scared cause of all the talk Bendis, JoeQ and others have expressed regarding how hard it is to write NA stories wih Strange in the picture. seemed like a cop out way to have strange out of the picture.

Doc_doom79 · 02-04-2008, 04:05 PM

I am sick of Bendis' fetish with taking obscure characters and FORCING THEM DOWN OUR THROATS

Ed Bru, Greg Rucka, Grant Morrison, Christos Gage, Dan Slott, Peter David, Gail Simone, etc all utilize obscure characters, BUT DONT FORCE THEM UPON US LIKE SOME SORT OF TORTURE the way Bendis does.

And you should be happy that Stephen Strange is out, since this has been his WORST handling in the character's history.
