As someone who comes here to discuss cartoons, explain him to me. Why does the mere mention of his name inspire so much hatred?

imagine that you're watching a cartoon that had a consistant run up to that point
then imagine if some asshole took over midway through, ignored everything and replaced the characters everyone liked for half baked replacements that his daughters are meant to look up to
thats bendis

He raped the Avengers, wholesale raped them and in the process irrevocably RUINED one of Marvel's most popular female characters and killed several other extremely popular characters on the book, purely out of malice and spite because he thought they were "lame" and wanting to replace them with his own pet characters who had no place in the book to begin with

Now also picture how you'd feel if you realise, from the disjointed convos that take up half the page, that this arsehole doesn't even like comics. He'd rather write for tv. But he's too shit at that to hack it. So, obviously, he's good enough for comics, right?

Fuck Bendis and Fuck cartoons

Bendis's Avengers was much more of an Avengers book than Hickman's

He hit his peak about 15 years ago. He was famed for his work on the Ultimate Spider-Man, which was praised as hip and fresh as a reboot of Spider-Man lore in the 2000's. Unfortunately, when the Ultimate Universe was ended, he had no where to go but the 616, which is a far larger and longer continuity that he didn't have a hand in crafting. He seems unable to reconcile this, likely having been accustomed to being free to imagine characters however, so he developed a nasty habit of essentially ignoring the work of his predecessors when taking over a title. The characters either regress or become weirdly out of character since he seems to have a trouble with "character voice". He also likes to make retcons and changes which are hard to undo, even if they undermine a lot of what's been established. These bad habits carried over to his work for DC, which resulted in Superman's kid son being magically aged into an edgy teenager.

I think the real turning point was when he made Miles Morales, that publicity boots went to his head and made him feel like he could do no wrong. It's sad really, I loved Ultimate Spider-Man growing up.

>and in the process irrevocably RUINED one of Marvel's most popular female characters
don't tell me... is he the Kitty Pryde guy?

Yes

He's Ken Penders, Adam Muto and Sabirna Cotugno merged into one

Read his shit and find out.

He likes to create his own special OC even though there are perfectly great characters in the supporting cast already, like Lila Rhodes being completely ignored in favor of RiRi Williams.

Also he only ever has a surface understanding of certain characters, like when he took over Superman he did interviews where it really really sounded like his only knowledge of the character were from the movies

His style is grating, too. He is the king of word balloons.
His arcs lack tension and real drama.
His OCs are flat and bland.
He does not respect other people's storylines.

Mad pol incels

I'm pissed at him for what he's done to Jon Kent with the stupid age up via being tortured for seven fucking years inbetween ages 10-17, and I'm not letting it go until/unless it undone and Jon is deaged/reset to how he was before this bullshit.

The same reason the Feminist Soi Wars trilogy has been infected with diminishing returns and blacklists among toy sellers and dead parks, the same reason Bendis should bend over a cliff and jump.

Bendis sucks, but is he actually a shitty person ala John Byrne?

Have sex

Spread your buttocks.

Not as far as I know. He's a family man, three daughters, of which two adopted African girls.

(Which also explains Riri Williams, I should think. Ever seen 'Henry Danger'?)

Get a room.

Open the door, and then prepare your buttocks as well.

My buttocks were born ready.

Bendis' daughter looks like that?

You know the die a hero, live to be a villain trope? Basically that. When he popped up first he was great, had some acclaimed runs on Daredevil and Ultimate Spider-Man, along with some well-regarded indie work.

But he stuck around forever. All the things about his writing that were unique before were played out now. He has a very distinct voice when writing characters that turns people off (a lot of back and forth, which in a static medium like comics doesn't always work). But he just kept getting bigger and bigger, touching pretty much every corner of the Marvel universe. He wrote X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, dozens of books over almost two decades. Now he's off to DC and doing the same things.

In short, his shtick is old and he hasn't grown as a writer, yet they give him the biggest books and characters.

Do you watch Transformers? If so, did you remember what it felt like to go from Beast Wars to Beast Machines?

Imagine that feeling, but with everything.

Bad storytelling, he just adds a lot of fluff to cover it. Everything borderline in mediocrity but it passes as something to glorify by the less thoughtful reviewers. It's shock value with no depth.

Most people say he jumped the shark sometime in between Avengers Disassembled and Sectet Invasion, but I have positive memories of his Guardians of the Galaxy, his Uncanny X Men, and his first issues of Miles Morales.

Am I taking crazy pills?

His daughters are teenagers and probably dont even read comics lol

Daredevil and Alias were good. If you like things he did after those books, you're bananas.

>I have positive memories of his Guardians of the Galaxy
> Am I taking crazy pills?

Yes. Hook me up with some of them.

Lots of people have mentioned that he's a bad writer and his disregard for continuity already in this thread but what no one has mentioned (which exacerbates hatred towards him) is that he's a massive "inside guy" which means that editorial WILL NEVER stop him from doing something/shiting over a previous run or tell him to actually read a comic book for once in his life. If Bendis shits on your book/team/character then you HAVE to say "thank you good sir" because good fucking luck trying to toss out any of his shit when he's in good with the bosses. The favoritism his employers show him has allowed him to ruin the biggest books at marvel (Avengers, X-Men, The Entire Universe with Event Books) and DC (Superman)
