He broke that formula in Batman/Superman, and it was even worse for it, and he's also broken it in Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum, which have been the most horrible stories ever. It is kind of insane watching what Jeph Loeb is doing to the painstakingly carefully created Ultimates universe. It reminds me of watching a bear attack the Mona Lisa or something.<BR/><BR/>But seriously. Why not hate Jeph Loeb? I do.<BR/><BR/>I don't hate him for S Castling. (I am mostly amused at the dumbness of "S Castling" whatever the hell that is. Closest thing he can write to something intellectual.) I don't hate him for how his plots are so stupid either. To me that's fun.<BR/><BR/>But I hate him for the way he depicts women in his comics. Recently the Wasp was devoured by the Blob. It was very weird and gross, but in a way I was kind of happy for her because she was actually better off dead than being written by Loeb, who would just write her getting choked over and over again. She just would get choked all the time. Even though she could shrink or turn into a giant (established in Ultimates 2, that) she winds up being vulnerable to being choked by literally everyone.<BR/><BR/>Further, I hate him for what he did to the Black Panther. That character gets humiliated again and again in his comics. In Ultimates 3 #5, he literally had the Juggernaut beat the black off of the Black Panther. He beat the Black Panther so hard that he became a white man, Steve Rogers. That's how he established Steve Rogers was the Black Panther. By having the Juggernaut beat the black off him. It's insane!<BR/><BR/>And in the Ultimate Captain America Annual he established that the other black character in the Ultimates universe, Nick Fury was a slave holder, as he just decided to kidnap T'Challa, presumably remove his ability to speak, and keep him as his slave-avenger. WTF!? First he removes Fury from the Ultimates U, than establishes he used to be a slave owner?<BR/><BR/>Anyway I hate Jeph Loeb...I feel like he is trampling on the feelings of little girls and little black kids who are comic readers. And I hate him.<BR/><BR/>http://jephloebmustdie.wordpress.com/<BR/><BR/>See how much I hate him?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425692780810430097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586138.post-5849531096340429882007-01-25T01:48:00.000-04:002007-01-25T01:48:00.000-04:00You know, I was thinking:

They're like watching a Michael Bay movie that starts every act with a long, tortued RA Salvatore-style monologue.<br /><br />I can't wait for his Ultimates. Or the long, mournful introspection that will be all over his Wolverine run (a Sabretooth-centric story with Loeb writing it? This is going to be the most homoerotic Wolverine story this side of fanfiction).Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807329346289420791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586138.post-65760902756713188922007-01-23T12:11:00.000-04:002007-01-23T12:11:00.000-04:00I did it all for you, Dave.

Let me add one, though.<br /><br />Loeb also writes what are supposed to be epic, 12-part mysteries, where the culprit, usually a brand-new character, is very obviously introduced in the first issue and might as well be twisting their mustache to show how evil they are. Then, around the third or fourth chapter, they are unconvincingly killed off...only to be revealed as the killer at the end. See HUSH and THE LONG HALLOWEEN for examples of this.<br /><br />-daveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
