Sabretooth War

Tell me, Marvel. Tell me why you have to do this.

Tell me why you have to take a character who will, next year, have 50 YEARS of character development and strip absolutely all of the nuance and complexity out of him and boil him down to LOL IRREDEEMABLE MASS MURDERER FOR FUNSIES.

Tell me why you had to derail a perfectly good plot with Sabretooth becoming a leader figure to the mutant exiles to instead, him and a bunch of AU variants coming to kill all the mutants on Krakoa for literally no reason.

We have been through this. SO MANY. Times before and I think this is the worst fucking one. At least you used to let this man have some kind of motivation.

And Sabretooth was NEVER nothing but a fucking irredeemable mass murder. No matter what that SHITHEAD CHARLES XAVIER had to say about it.

When Sabretooth first appeared he was written as a sassy, savage and smart international assassin and killer for hire.

Then we found out that he had brain damage from military programming. This man is literally a fucking disabled war veteran. 

And you know what?? The worst fucking retcon that Marvel ever pulled was years ago. When they started ignoring that Sabretooth DIDN'T kill Silver Fox. 

He didn't kill her!! He and Logan didn't even have a poisonous history until Project X used brainwashing to turn them against one another!

And after finding all that out, when started to become an unhinged killer with no motivation and no joy he SOUGHT HELP FOR THAT. He tried to fucking medicate himself because it was too much! and when the medication wasn't working he sought help from the X-Men and they locked him up and told him he was irredeemable.

And after that he got used as a fucking government slave again! They put him in a shock collar and they enslaved him as their own attack dog.

And when he broke out of that control??? He fucking went after Weapon X to fuck THEM over!!! And he went back to doing hired assassin shit. He's not just a fucking pointless monster who has no motivation and kills for no reason. He kills for money. He kills for fun sometimes. But that's not everything of who he is and I'm tired of him having everything stripped from him.

The Madripoor arc where he was a crime boss hanging out with Mystique and in charge of the dark hand, that shit was great! That's how you use Sabretooth as a villain! He killed Wolverine then!!! HE KILLED WOLVERINE.

And then later, AFTER everybody got zapped with the "morality reverse" after he changed back, Sabretooth still decided to give being a hero a try. And he was good at it!! He was an excellent "Anti-hero" somebody to hang around all the other light side paladin and remind them that killing their enemies is EASY.

We could have had that for years. We could still have that. That was only 2017.

But no. BUT NO.

You retcon the whole god damn universe take away literally all of his character development STICK HIM IN A HOLE FOR YEARS, then promise us maybe MAYBE we'll get Sabretooth and The Exiles.

AND NOW THIS.

I HAVE FUCKING HAD ENOUGH MARVEL.

There are good ways to use sabretooth as a villain and this shit ain't it.

hey have you read the newest Wolverine comic yet

there is a particular panel or two that is driving me insane and i think youll appreciate it

also I need someone to scream to abt it

This one, I assume, anon?

Please, scream away. XD We're pretty negative toward 90% of Sabretooth War but the overt homoeroticism is its single saving grace.

Sabretooth War

My take on it. Basically it's a terrible saga. Badly written, nonsensical, extremely toxic narrative.

Benjamin Pierce shouldn't write comics, because he's useless and incompetent.

Spoilers under cut

They kill Creed because he's not able to overcome his trauma by himself. Weird, since all they did to him when he tried to get help, knowing he needed someone to help, was adding to that trauma, hurt him more, imprison him and fuck him some more, all while belittling the man because someone broke him when he was a kid.

"This is for his failure to know what to do with the pain inside him except share it with others ".

FOR REAL?! AND YOU CHEER IF THE POLICE KILLS SOMEONE HAVING A MELTDOWN TOO, PIERCE?!

They choose to side with Graydon fucking Creed?! With a "You don't have to be like your father, you don't have to choose hate"?! Killing Graydon after having saved him from hell was the right thing to do. The others should shut the fuck up. Graydon is a monster way worse than his father because HE CHOSE violence and hate without a reason, not like Victor who went with it thanks to torture.

What the flying fuck is this shitty mess of... totally addressing and belittling mental health issues?!

Victor Creed doesn't need redemption, but for sure he's far, far better than his son that, just to remind you, is a complete piece of shit who had a nice childhood, but decided to kill his parents because yes, why not. VICTOR, not GRAYDON, was expelled from Hell because he did something so great, and good, a positive that he cleared his past and the Devil didn't want him there because he was too good. So, yeah, cool. Pierce, you're worse than the Devil himself 😂😂

Fuck this shit and fuck the writers and the shish kebab of Victor.

Also, someone has to write a fanfic with Birdie shocked by what they did and said.

[theinsanecrayonbox]

the next leg of Sabretooth War has previews...liking the narrative parallels

but wait is that Holo? Holly Bright. from The First X-men

huh, that's a big old yes. neat. i was always fuzzy on if that series was canon or not (since it felt contradictory to other parts of the timeline it should be on)

but the next panel...that's not the same scene

Vic's whole design is different. the first panel, very much matches First X-men. but this one...it's almost close to what he was looking like in Mary Shelley Overdrive...

but that's not Bonnie Hale...and not just because she's not blonde, but the wrong outfit

yet it is probably close to her death scene

artistic flub? blending of memories? the two girls' deaths were similar...he killed them both, but not fully by his own choice, so that is plausible...

but interesting. someone did their homework.

Too many knuckleheads on the beach.

Captain Creed is my one and only wife from now on

Also I started shipping him and pretty boy somehow. These two could make a cute (tragic?) couple
