I like Ewing's writing for the most part but sometiems it feels he's fully aware he's the one of the small pool of person at Marvel with a functioning brain and secretly revels in it
He should be careful, getting really good at a terrible job means you're kept doing it forever.
He's probably smart enough to know that the age of 'superstars' like Morrison and Johns is over, and that he's never gonna make it to even Hickman levels of notoriety, and is happy wallow in continuity shit for as long as Marvel will have him, secure that he's having more fun than he would in a service industry job on equivalent pay.
I mean, wouldn't you?
Is this one of those cannibal threads were we're supposed to care more about the cook than the cooking?
>hey ewing i ruined every character and didn't finish the story that conflicts with prior events th-
>i fixed the characters, continued your story, and made it so that it's no longer retconning anything that happened in previous runs
he really is the sloppa writer
feels like he can handle 10 books at once
well in september he's scheduled to to do five ongoings and I can't think of any other modern writer working at Marvel doing the same workload may Williamson at DC who's also doing the GI Joe comics for Image
I’ve fallen out of comics. Is Ewing still going strong? He seems to be the only writer at Marvel who gives a shit and isn’t there to be an activist.
>isn’t there to be an activist.
are you sure
I’m sure he’s a standard Lefty but I don’t remember his books forcing in political messages at the expense of good writing. Things have changed since Covid so idk what he’s doing now.
I was a huge fan of Agent of Asgard but Ewing started forcing obnoxious prog lectures in his work way back in 2016. He does it on all his books. You either agree with them or you tolerate them.
I think it helps in that he doesn't really try to make it about American politics so he either makes it a vague concept such as GOTG or he makes it about UK politics like that contest of Champions page you just posted
>You either agree with them or you tolerate them.
Sometimes I too read comics where a character says something I don't agree with.
It's pretty obvious when a character is espousing the opinion of the author just for the sake of doing so.
i do not care
>Sometimes I too read comics where a character says something I don't agree with.
Bro read any issue of Romita-Lee Spiderman issue that gets political and compare it with Ewing's
Literally any of them. Fricking Lee, a fricking hypeman, has far more concise and entertaining political talking points than Ewing ever will.
Ewing just forces it half-way through the plot, out of nowhere, for no reason, the has the clearly-not-related-to-the-issue MC agree or get served.
His "politics" are always 1 sided and forced into the context.
Anon I don't read comics focusing on politics. I can enjoy a comic written by someone that has views that I don't agree with if the story is good. Even if they have a random character like
turned into a strawman so they can be made an example of, if the rest of the comic holds my interest then I don't care. I've read old Spider-Man comics and anything political is just part of the story to me. If something gets too preachy, even if I agree with the views, I'll probably get bored and skim the comic or drop it. JMS's Superman Grounded arc was like that for me. I get more frustrated when someone that I agree with go about it wrong. Opposing views are just that and if they're done badly then I'll probably get more of a kick out of that then be pissed.
Ewing comics are boring and I'm tired of pretending they aren't, I enjoyed his Leader and Devil Hulk but everything else was bland. Some of his ideas are interesting but the execution is never good.
>hey, I finally finished retconning out those shitty, character-derailing stories that have been a millstone around their neck for deca-
>I already reinserted those shitty, character-derailing stories into canon while keeping your stories intact, not only negating your work but allowing those stories to continue to function as a narrative tumor for future writers to exploit for hack work while also making the character's history incredibly convoluted and kinda nonsensical if you think about it
