you first OP
Obviously my favorite part was Dr. Doom's antics, although I don't understand how the device he built from Klaw's body was supposed to absorb the energy that Galactus was going to consume. I also wish the conflict between Storm and Professor-X was a bigger part of the X-Men's storyline.
Boring tbh. I have no idea people want this to be adapted.
I liked it.
It's a bit simplistic, and there is a lot of padding in the middle, but...
1) Quick start
2) Teams are using tactics
3) X-Men are wild-cards in the conflict
4) Black-suit Spidey is introduced
5) One of the best Doctor Doom stories ever
6) Awesome fight between Spider-Man and the X-Men.
7) Hulk lifts a mountain
How woke is it? I don't really read things unless I can extract out of context rage pages out of it
>1984
>woke
Wolverine and Magneto announce that they are nonbinary, then everyone stops fighting and celebrates, the Beyonder teleports the entire city of San Francisco to the planet and hosts a massive parade for 3 issues.
Why does this actually sound like a plausible modern Marvel story?
It doesn't and your just trying to let your victim complex override reality
There's a bit where Rhodes asks Mr. Fantastic if he's surprised that the person in the Iron Man suit was black, but Mr. Fantastic says he didn't care.
Do you think it's enough to outrage peddle? My discord is tired of helping me do Cinemaphile raids so I'm on my own for now
spider-man teaches beyonder how to shit and then they make out
Dr. Doom and Galactus are defeated by realizing that their white privilege is poisoning their minds and they give all their power to Captain Marvel and She-Hulk.
As unwoke as it gets
I was team X at the time but this was righteous
watching Spidey walk all over the X-Men was itself worth the price of admission.
Publishers benefit the most from this, they earn extra money from tie-in products and can still have more control over the creative process. It's really bad for writers as they are forced to tie their story with the main event.
Just like SJWS trying to force critical race theory into schools
The original Secret Wars didn't have additional tie-in comics created for it, it just caused some status quo changes for books, most of which were things like Spider-Man's alien costume, Ben staying behind on Battleworld, and She-Hulk moving from the Avengers to the F4, that the writers seemed to be on board with. The only real exception was Shooter using Secret Wars to force Colossus to break up with Kitty on the grounds of Jesus Christ, Claremont, she's 14.
The series is best known for the toys
But the comic itself wasn't all about promoting the toys, it didn't feature any of the vehicles or the playset. The only real toy shilling it does is to feature the new costumes for Spider-Man and Doctor Doom. The second wave of toys was mostly made up of characters that the comic didn't even feature.
Some characters received preferential treatment there.

It would have been funny if it had.
I thought Contest of Champions was the toy one
They both were, one of the big toy companies had bought marvel and wanted them to do a comic featuring all of the most popular heros so they could release them all under a single line
To Claremont's credit he integrated this into the plotline and made it work.
It was a legacy of the period of the writer/editor. I’m not much of a shooter fan, but he did the right thing there. Some guys just can’t be trusted. In his defense, Claremont probably saw similar relationships while he was growing up. My own mother married at 17.
I read it 14 years ago, I liked it, art was OK, I liked villains characters more than heroes, Molecule man was top notch.
which one?
I was fun, albeit failed to really do much with the villains outside of Klaw and Doom. But then again it was a glorified toy commercial.
I liked what happened with Molecule Man too, and I fapped to Enchantress.
I read it when it came out. Not the worst thing Shooter wrote but it was mercenary plotwise: he wanted toy companies to make figures to compete with DC's Super Heroes line, but manufacturers told him they wouldn't commit to making a large number of figures unless he could guarantee kids bought the entire line. When he asked "well how do I do that," they told him to make a title that crossed over someone from every other title. And so the crossover event cancer began.
Lots of good stuff came out of it: Spider-Man's black costume, splitting up Peter and Kitty before the Comics Code Authority had to get involved, highlighting The Wrecking Crew, Doom having his most important character arc, and Volcana awakening my love for thick maternal ladies. Also Titania.
It's a genuinely enjoyable read.
