We'll see.<br /><br />You are right about the villains. It's difficult to tell what they stand for and what they want, and not even the best actor can cover that up.<br /><br />It may also be a reflection of a general shift of emphasis in the comics; as far as I can tell most of the big events of the past few years have been about heroes fighting heroes, with almost no actual villainy.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794490764987409014.post-71370777663961276242015-07-22T06:53:01.558-07:002015-07-22T06:53:01.558-07:00The villains I mentioned all seem very underwritte...The villains I mentioned all seem very underwritten, like they're an afterthought almost. Or maybe Marvel think as long as they get decent actors (and to be fair Marvel bad-guys are always played by decent actors) the problem will take care of itself. I'm intrigued by the FF reboot - surely they can't mess Doom up again!

I dread to think how they're going to waste Doom again in the upcoming <i>Fantastic Four</i> reboot.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
