Bring Back Carol Danvers

Teddy sends Carol, who’s temporarily the Accuser, to deal with the prime suspect in the destruction of a Kree/Skrull city, but when she finds evidence that the suspect is innocent and is actually Carol’s half-sister, she brings her back to Earth instead of to Teddy

Teddy in the Captain Marvel Empyre tie ins:   #18   #19   #20   #21

Teddy was so out of character in this but then again so were most of the characters imo, let this run end. Never thought I’d say that about a captain marvel run but here we are 🙃

I complain about the exact same thing in the tags of tomorrow’s post lol. Teddy in these tie ins is so egregiously out of character. It’s like the exact opposite of how he’d actually behave and I don’t get how any writer could get him so impossibly wrong. A single sentence summary of his personality and/or his history should be enough to indicate to any writer that this is wildly out of character. And for what? This plot would have worked just as well with Teddy behaving in character and prioritizing Carol finding the true culprit. Kelly Thompson of all writers should know at least his very very basic history as a Young Avenger and thus a hero with at least basic generic good guy values, given how she’s become one of Kate’s primary writers so it’s extra annoying that he’s so out of character here

Well.

I don't like her either, for that matter.

oh my god the people writing about carol and approving her stories just fucking hate her.

hey so uh we adapted your boyfriend. we got the rights to him by promising his people it would be a tasteful interpretation but it was really just a cheap cash-in on name recognition. yeah we showed no fundamental understanding of the source material and handled him with zero nuance or taste. and it's gonna be what most people remember of him now. are you mad

If Batman and Spider-Man switched rogues galleries none of their villains would last more than ten minutes against the new enemy

Batman takes down all of Spider-Man’s villains with ruthless efficiency and preparation

Batman’s villains are all like “TAKE ME SERIOUSLY DAMMIT” and Spider-Man is like “No 😜”

The Joker would have an intense hatred for Spider-Man because Spider-Man is actually funny

That was the exact thought process behind this post

In Gotham:

“Riddle me this-”

“I like knock knock jokes better.”

In New York: 

Green Goblin is getting his ass beat by 12 orphans in spandex

To be fair, Green Goblin was already getting his ass handed to him by an orphan in spandex

I don’t think Peter qualifies as “Orphan”? Not in the same way as the batkids do, since Aunt May was involved in Peter’s life since the beginning? And despite many attempts by The Reaper, is still alive into Peter’s adulthood.

I do think Batman vs Osborn would be interesting, since you could potentially play into Osborn as a “corporate enemy” to Wayne, thus have their battles be “public legal ones” and “public costume ones”.

endgame is so funny to me bc they were like ‘a ten year culmination! a proper sendoff to the avengers! the perfect ending!’ and then it proceeded to give the og avengers the actual worst possible endings. thor spends five years locked in a shack and then leaves his people to become a space pirate, despite asgard being his number one concern. tony spent five years out of the public eye, did very little inventing, and then dies. bruce (who hates the spotlight) became a celebrity and has a “catch phrase”. natasha’s found family abandoned her for five years and then she dies at the bottom of a cliff. clint became a ruthless killer with no morality, killing hundreds of people. steve spends five years doing nothing except mourning someone who died of old age, then chooses a white picket fence instead of the picket line. like HELLO? 

Underrated trope is the Disability Superpower. Not like Daredevil who is disabled and also has superpowers, but circumstances lining up to make the disability itself a super power.

A character with depression being able to fight through emotional manipulation because they're used to their emotions being untrustworthy, or a character with chronic pain enduring torture because it's no worse than what they live with daily. I love that stuff.

That is in fact Daredevil's case since Frank Miller introduced Stick at least. All blind people in the Marvel universe can hone the rest of their senses like Matt can (which do has some real-life basis although not to such an extent obviously), he just got a radioactive head-up at best.
