The Bendis Board hates it when their friends become successful:
“I miss the old Ultimate Spider-Man where witty comments didn’t need a huge arc event. not that i dislike the big goblin and clone events, the book just doesn’t NEED them to survive.”
“I miss Bagley… Not that I dont love Stuarts stuff.. I do.. probably more than I love Bagleys.. but USM and Mark go hand in hand to me.”
“It’s like what happens with your favorite band (pick one)…the music that attracted you to them changes as the band grows, and suddenly it’s not the same band anymore, and you lose interest, and find something new to listen to…perhaps something that reminds you of what the old band was like in the beginning. Sure, you understand why a band grows and changes, but that doesn’t mean you’ve got to like their new style. Same applies to comics, tv shows, movie franchises, etc.”
“Yeah, Bendis needs to cut it with the schtick and stay with the original concept. When he goes off the original concept, it sucks.”
“I miss being a wide eyed and innocent young lad still thinking there was good in the world before I started reading and watching the news.”
“Is this thread filling some kind of ‘Bendis was good in the old days but now he’s sold out’ quota?”

This was so not the thread I thought it would be. Not a word about James Bolam or Rodney Bewes.
Disappointing.
