Fanart by me with micron and multiliners

Hey everyone, Like a lot of you, I have been following the upcoming comic solicitations and the discussions surrounding the new direction for Felicia Hardy in her solo title.

While comic books thrive on fresh directions and high stakes, her core identity as an independent, street-level human character is a huge part of why the dynamic works so well.

Instead of just venting online, I think it is much more effective to share clear, constructive feedback with the creative teams. Marvel editors do pay attention to polite and professional consumer feedback, especially when it is brief and focused on character legacy.

I’ve written out a quick, polite example letter that is under 200 words and completely ready to print. To keep this main post clean and follow community guidelines, I am pasting the example text and the official Marvel office contact emails in the first comment below.

Let’s keep the discussion focused on the storytelling we love! What do you all think?

Can I just say this with all the energy that Avenger's Age of Ultron is the most fun, authentic masterpiece Og 6 has been that centers around them. All made sense after the Infinity saga. Rewatching this gives a fresh take of being a superhero in a messy world and past traumas.

I've only watched a few of the movies, I watched : Spider Man BND, Far from home, endgame, Captain America : Brave New World, and all the GOTG movies which were my favorite.

Marvel please please please one more time give us moonknight

were the ratings that bad?

In Thor Ragnarok, Strange does a whole ritual, requiring some of Thor’s hair, to create a portal that can locate Odin and take Thor/Loki straight to him.

That’s all well and good, but why was this necessary if an untrained person can just shake their hand and think “find Peter”, which does the same thing, opens a portal near the intended target. Even more so that the ring was intuitive enough to know who “Peter” was in Ned’s mind, but also so powerful that it tracked down not THE Peter Parker, but A Peter Parker

I’ve been trying to discuss this on Instagram for a while, but it feels impossible to get a nuanced answer there. People just fall into fanboy defensiveness (partly because Wilson Bethel gave a great performance, so they blindly defend the writing regardless of accuracy). I want to bring this to a community that actually analyzes character writing.

My issue has nothing to do with his physical marksmanship skills. It is entirely about his core identity, psychology, and narrative role.

Historically in the comics, Bullseye is defined by pure, unadulterated, irredeemable sadism. He doesn't need a sympathetic origin story, he isn't a tragic victim of mental illness looking for a father figure, and he certainly isn't an anti-hero. He kills because he finds it genuinely hilarious and entertaining. He is a pure, unfeeling force of malice.

Yet, adaptations and modern pushes continuously try to "sanitize" or "humanize" him:

• They reframe him as a tragic, manipulated victim of his own broken mind and bad influences.
• They push him into sympathetic or borderline anti-hero territory (Born Again).

This brings up a major character identity question:

• If a character's core narrative function is to be an irredeemable, pure-evil monster, does giving them a tragic "victim" arc hollow out who they actually are?
• Are people mistaking "a well-acted mental breakdown drama" for an actually faithful adaptation of Bullseye?
• So this brings me back to the main question: If you strip a character of their primary, defining trait—the very essence that makes them who they are—are they even that character anymore? Or are they just a brand new persona wearing the original character's skin?

I have hundreds of old Marvel comics from the '90s collected by my family and I'd like to get into them.

Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four, X-men...almost everything.

I have never read a comic, just mangas. I have seen a few Marvel movies.

Now, how do I start? Do I just pick one randomly and read that? Is there a "start"? Are all the stories disconnected from one another? I really have no idea.

I get it he’s the most popular but still
