Got pissed off all over again thinking about how Iron Lad can just casually do this

Got pissed off all over again thinking about how Iron Lad can just casually do this

Capitan Buggery isn't even a character. This guy has literally zero backstory or development of any kind. We don't know how his powers actually work (or what they even are). We don't know how he got the mantle of Captain Britain. We don't know how old he is or why he's this way. We don't know why the Maker chose him to be on the council. We don't know anything at all beyond LE EVIL STRONG AND POWERFUL FRENCHIE WHO CAN FLY, HON HON HON.

He shows up a few times in Ultimate Spider-Man to do a grand total of NOTHING... and that's about it. This is a cheap, stale, create-a-wrestler that was somehow allowed entry into reality to do nothing but grief. I felt like I was watching a bad pro wrestling PPV or something where some dickhead kid from the audience just climbs into the ring and dropkicks Betty White into a pool of sharks or something. Just fucked up all around.

Frankly I'm depressed and ashamed.

Which pissed you off more? THAT death in Ulimatum #2 or....?

Losing Peter Parker and Captain America back-to-back like this has turned me off from Marvel/Disney in a way that I've never felt before. I'm turning 38 next month, have proudly followed nerd stuff all my life and I've never been truly pissed off like this when it comes to my nerd stuff before.

What Marvel was doing with this Ultimates line brought me back into comics after taking a whole decade off (I got bored after Secret Invasion and Ultimatum and kind of walked away from Marvel comics and mostly came back for the Ultimate stuff).

I'm literally writing this as I'm about to jump in the car and give these fucking comics back to the store. I don't even want a refund. My disgust and hatred for what happened must be known and felt.

Henri Dugarry has literally zero backstory of any kind. He shows up wearing Captain Britain's clothes, has all this power - and zero explanation for it of any kind.

That's just not acceptable.

No offense to Jeph Loeb or anything but we saw the writing on the walls with what he was doing in Ultimates 3 and we could at least SOMEWHAT prepare for the bad writing to come.

I feel like I just got in a brutal hit-and-run and mugged while waiting for the police.
