That's not true. It comes across like that because mainstream books are just bad.
Your choices are easy to pick apart (not in a bad way but let's see).
It's easy to pick apart anything if you have a mind to. I could have you list your faves and pick them apart and belittle those choices if I so chose, but that's not why I'm here.
However, the cat asked what was good in Marvel. There are things that he may find enjoyable. Many people do. Felt it was worth it to give him my take, as opposed to just telling him that everything sucks and moving on.
As far as my picks. I like what I like. You might not and that's cool, it's the beautiful thing about opinions. But having read your posts over time it's pretty clear that your mind is going to be made up regardless, so I'm not going to try to disabuse you of your notions.
Personally, I'm open-minded towards books. I don't expect everything to be a slave to longstanding continuity. It's just a part of the game. There are things that I may hate, like OMD for example, but if the stories are good to me after, then they're good to me after.
Your comments about X-Force, which is more about the characters and characterizations more than anything leads me to believe that you've never actually read it, but that's inconsequential really. As for the rest, I don't ask myself anything before I open a book, I just open it...and read it.
For me, it all boils down to "did I enjoy reading this."
*shrug* That's just how I operate, not expecting it to be the way everyone operates.
But yeah, homie, no offense, but you are a mainstream hater IMO, and it's supported by your belief that globally mainstream books are just bad. Which, if nothing else, would be statistically and logically improbable considering the sheer amount of mainstream books. It's not meant as an insult, merely an observation.
