Superman sucks without the red underwear as part of his tights. Chris Claremont was great with ideas but horrendous with written word. So, he is Gene Roddenberry. |

Some of these aren't unpopular opinions.

Bendis is a great street crime writer. A fantastic street crime writer. Morrison is a great metatextual writer. Fantastic. Neither should have ever been allowed anywhere near the regular-continuity Marvel and DC comics. Not even Doom Patrol and Animal Man? Or his JLA? |

I don't think it's any surprise that IMO, some of Bendis' best work was on USM as it was in his own little continuity versus messing with the 616 universe.

In general I find the X-Men a complete mess in a shared continuity. They really just don't make any sense at all except when kept in their own world away from everyone else with powers. And really there's such a gigantic amount of mutants that there's not really any particular reason they should ever need to cross over with anyone anyway.

Garth Ennis writes some off the wall shit but you it ends up being intriguing
Even Crossed for how crazy it is did have some decent things behind it

It's about time Judge Dredd dies and Rico Dredd takes over the Judge Dredd mantle. The past few years they have taken every chance they have to point out how old Dredd is and how all the procedures to make a Judge yonger have stopped working for him. And with him aging real time, when they do finally kill him off, Rico will be in the same boat as current Dredd

I know Mark Millar gets a lot of flack, but I find his Kick-Ass series to be among his better work when it comes to his original stuff. Then again, the most recent ones weren't written by him.

Doom is Marvel's most overrated villain and writers obsession with shilling this megalomaniacal twit makes me dread what will happen when Fantastic Four comes into The MCU

The only live action Spider-Man movie I actually like is Amazing 1 (even with dumb shit like the camera and the crane operators). Spider-Man 2 is okay but I feel like having not seen it until years after it came out I completely missed the appeal (though even then Doc Ock would still be a total mess of a character), the first Raimi movie is basically just a bad remake of Batman 89 and I’d probably rather even watch 3 than it since it at least has some semblance of a narrative (and a problem with all three movies is that I just find Maguire very annoying, though not nearly as much as I do Tom Holland), Amazing 2 is an utter disaster, and I really find everybody in Homecoming irritating and unlikable. Not seen Far From Home, don’t plan to.
Though really the best of these movies is undoubtedly Spider-Verse. Think that’s a consensus opinion among people who’ve seen it though.

Pretty sure that was my fault, think I’m the one who started going on the real life government comparisons. My apologies, I wasn’t thinking. |

A few more occurred to me. Superman has never been lame. People just got cynical. Barbara Gordon should have stayed Oracle. She felt stronger without her legs than he ever has with them. Doom Patrol is Grant Morrison's peak. Two-Face, not The Joker, should be Batman's arch nemesis. He was a former ally, and his disfugurement makes him a literal mirror of Bruce's internal struggles with duality. IMO, writers (and some fans) fall too easily into the “Superman can be only be a perfect holy being or ruthlessly corrupted” paradox. Keep in mind one is really writing about Clark Kent, and Clark is a good hearted everyman who just happens to have powers from the sun. It should be easy. |

Sabertooth should've been the final boss of Logan instead of a Wolvie clone. He powers would warrent the use of the magic bullet and it bring things full circle to both the 1at X-Men film and the 1st Wolverine film.

Any writer who approaches Superman from the perspective of Clark Kent just being a mask he wears should be fired and never allowed to write him again. That applies to every medium. For that matter, Bill's idiotic speech about Superman in Kill Bill nearly ruined the whole movie for me. |
