Talk about denial. This is as funny as ign's review on #4
If by people Loeb means masochists then yes, "people" seem to "digging" Ultimatum.
Best. IGN Review. Ever.
Though I do wonder how they landed at 1.8/10, seems like pity marks
"Fans always complain!"
Yeah. It's just us. We always hate what's put out just because it's there. Nothing we say could ever be of value.
:arrgh:
Y'know - there are times when I read these comics and think to myself, "If someone 'in the know', like Loeb or such and such, were reading this, I should write this properly, lucidly, in the hopes that they'll not think it's just ranting, in the great hope that stories like this will be rewritten to a higher, more exacting standard because the flaws in this comic are so unbelievably obvious it's easy to notice and fix them. You have to work to be this bad." And then, at some point, probably when I read interviews by Loeb where he acts like everyone loves it but there's just some crappy fans bashing it because they always do, I want to smack him on the side of the head until he forgets all forms of language so he can never do this again. When I'm in that mood, I don't really want to make myself appear well-though out. Instead, I just want to scream and yell at the inability of people to see how rubbish they are.
So to hell with it all. I miss Ennis' The Punisher, and I want it back.
It got a 1.8 for the ads in the comic
The Ultimate Universe was built around the idea to expect the unexpected.
From the very first meeting with myself, Bendis, Joe Q, Dan Buckley, Damon Lindelof and Allan Heinberg (whew! Talk about a Murderers' Row!)
Loeb's rockabilly band, Man Hole and the Hot Rod Gang?
A hilarious notion, since 99% of it is retelling classic stories in a modern setting and is, therefore, mostly predictable on some basic level.
.
I agree.
Thanks.
Seriously though, Magneto's Noah's ark obession really makes no sense. It be like if Dr. Octopus read Hansel and Gretel one day and decided he liked that story so much, he was going to buy a house, use candy to lure children there and then bake them into pies. He completely changes his character and MO, just because he decided he really liked a certain story and was going to base his whole life around it, out of the blue, with no explaination. Also Dr. Octopus likes to cross dress, in order to truly be the witch. Makes about as sense Mageto basing his life on Noah's Ark.
Let's be fair here. While this is an atrocious read and yuou've made very good points so far, Ultimate Magneto has always been a guy with a serious god complex. Remember back during Millar's run when he started gathering mankind's treasures in preparation for his apocalypse, including a man and a woman so mankind could repopulate when he was done destroying civilization?
Still, I think this story (heavily edited for quality, of course) might be more appropriate for 616 Magneto. Like he gets up one morning and decides, "Me and Charles have been at this so long that it's possible this war will go on forever. For goodness sake, I've lost count of how many times I've been seduced to his side. I think I'll go round up as many mutants as I can find, put them all on Asteroid M, and go join/conquer the Shiar Empire or something to that effect."
Thanks.

actually there was an episode of the Teen Titan cartoon that was a lot like this.
Yes, but that was a joke episode, Loeb is being completely serious here. They introduced a new villain to fit the silly concept, its not like they took an existing villain and tried to rewrite him to fit this role.

People don't like Heinberg either actually . Murder is a strong word though. Who kills over comics?That article is hilarious. First of all, any time anyone says something like "people are really digging this" it's a tell-tale sign that even they know that everybody hates it.
This is also a gem:

Right, because (with the exception of Heinberg) a lot of comic fans would like to murder all of those guys.
