We do not steer motor vehicles by throwing lit sticks of dynamite out the windows opposite to the direction in which we wish to travel and relying on the blast to reposition our car.

Nor should schizoid writing and adolescent posturings be the de jour “solution” to nonexistent comicbook editing.

If the “right result” is only achieved through more howlers then it can’t in all honesty be the “right result”.

How is shooting Reed in the head a bunch of times saying anyone was right? Visceral vindication aside, wouldn’t just reasonable storytelling be the thing to cheer for rather than half-hearted excuses and a parade of ‘MAN I WAS SO RIGHT HERE’S THE CONTINUITY THAT SAYS SO!’?

I actually thought the failure and difficulties entailed in the cloning process tied in with Clor pretty well to just flatly say, “clones are a ****ing terrible idea.”

Seems more, though, that it’s actually fanservice. Everyone hates pro-reg Reed, so this is his comeuppance. Everyone thinks that the Illuminati thing was so unheroic, so now they’re getting shown to be double-wronger. This is total fanboy vindication. I don’t know why people can’t embrace it since the message is pretty plainly, “you were right! Here’s comics that say so!”
