Re: Civil War Query?

NA honestly for a more in depth perspective on this opinion you only need to read Daredevil:Born Again, Nocenti's 'Typhoid Mary' arc, Bendis and Brubaker's runs, and/or Mark Waid's run. Matt's life gets dismantled over and over because people know his secret identity and use it to get really really personal. Like, destroy his livelihood, sanity, relationships, and kill all his loved ones type personal. Heroes, especially ones that aren't top-tier government protected Avengers, have real and serious reasons to not want to go public. And those reasons are exemplified by Matt's life lmao

In theory Civil War should have been great because both sides have a point but IRL I like to think of 2006-2010 as Marvel's melodramatic emo period.

SA as before - So emo. And I say this as a person who has the final panel of Civil War: Confessions where Tony sits over Steve's dead body all depressed hanging on my wall. I like emo, but yeah... talk about overwrought angst.

I think 2006-2010 is best exemplified by the cheerful happy Speedball becoming the brooding Penance. And like how suddenly his powers can only be triggered by the 600 painful spikes on the inside of his metal costume when before his powers were like yellow light that could bounce. I gotta say tho there is a special place in my heart for the idiotic Dark Reign storyline where Osborn takes over the government. Dark Avengers and New Avengers with Hank Pym at the lead are awful and the best at the same time and New Avengers: The Reunion I unabashedly love and it is one of the few comics that has ever made me cry.
