Message: [QUOTE="Octopus, post: 143228, member: 4"] The initial goal was to make it more appealing to comic book newcomers, doing away with any continuity so they could hopefully get into it. They also wanted some level of 'reinventions' for the characters, which were mostly done well. Aunt May's a spunky 'tough' grandma with a pixie cut, Ultimate Iron Man has a brain tumour instead of shrapnel in his heart, Wolverine's still mostly the same but [I]really [/I]more into the underage girls, etc. Ultimate Thor is awesome, I really dig the whole "[I]okay, is he reincarnated Thor or is he a just a crazy person?[/I]" angle they had with him. I was going to post the also infamous panel of Cap finding out Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are 'like like' into each other, when I started realising almost every infamous Ultimate thing is a weird sex thing. Other than Ultimatum, which was weird for entirely different reasons. [automerge]1742608573[/automerge] Yeah basically; Jim Shooter was a hell of a guy. The name [I]Secret Wars[/I] is really silly and was allegedly just the marketing department slapping something together, and the whole thing was obviously for some toy revenue as they had the Mattel action figures lined up before the book even dropped. Man, [I]Crisis [/I]was so good. [/QUOTE]
