A really unconvincing one at that.<br /><br />The exact same thing would happen again and, without any disrespect, if your story ever got made then the next 6 issues would be well spent having Thanos take The Sentry apart forever.<br /><br />The best thing about The Sentry was that he was sort of a parody of, or twist on, Superman and the worst thing about him was that he was actually Superman. <br /><br />For me the joke had the best possible punchline in Siege and should be left alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088987141848715305.post-54482209084715102192013-01-30T20:06:40.443-06:002013-01-30T20:06:40.443-06:00I really liked your idea man. I'm also a huge ...I really liked your idea man. I'm also a huge fan of Galactus, and I love your idea of him absorbing the powers of his newly appointed army, and then going after Galactus. I'm a really big fan of the Sentry, he has sooooo much potential but Marvel insists on raping the character to the point where it's just not even recognizable anymore. <br /><br />I'm not sure if the writer's even realize the magnitude of that much power though in the first place.... A million exploding suns... one supernova has the energy and destructive capability of 10 Trillion of our most powerful nuclear bombs.... now multiple that by a million. An un-restricted energy blast from the Sentry would theoretically wipe out AT LEAST a few galaxies. I honestly don't see how Thor could even have concievably damaged him let alone killed him if your looking at the numbers properly... <br /><br />But meh, I'm really hoping he comes back better then ever. No more headcase, no more void crap, and finally realises his full potiential. I want to see some arc where it shows him REALLY going all out. <br />IDK maybe he gets sucked into some alternate dimension where Galactus found a way to absorb Death, Chaos, Order, Hate, Love, Infinity, and Eternity... Basically he no longer needs to feed on the energy of planets, and the universe is his toy that he runs like a spoiled child. So Sentry has to fight a Super Galactus lol. Ok it's blown out of proportion but it would make anything DC has ever done look like a joke :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088987141848715305.post-61792910356289056812012-11-27T19:49:45.225-06:002012-11-27T19:49:45.225-06:00This wouldn't work. Someone would say someone ...This wouldn't work. Someone would say someone with the power of a million exploding suns (a walking nuclear bomb) shouldn't exist, Captain America would realize he's a huge hazard to Earth, and then somehow Hope and the Scarlet Witch would destroy him.<br /><br />On the other hand, they could power him down. That might ensure he has a place in the Marvel universe that doesn't involve Stark and Reed safety-draining him or something.C.

I actually like the way Sentry started off in New Avengers and so much could have be done with him if Marvel hadn't messed it up.<br /><br />Would love it if they brought back Sentry without Void and had to work to regain trust of everyone.. love your plot.Janice Weehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660174864220577271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088987141848715305.post-81108736325837830402011-12-31T08:26:38.623-06:002011-12-31T08:26:38.623-06:00I am a HUGE Sentry fan, I hail him as probably my ...I am a HUGE Sentry fan, I hail him as probably my favourite character. It was a very sad day when I went in to the comic book shop to find the one shot with Sentry's funeral.<br /><br />It was utter bollocks, but I expected it. After the sheer humiliation of being killed in no more than 5 panels because the writers ran out of space, he was laid to rest as the most raped of potential character Marvel has ever had.<br /><br />I love this guy, there is so much to him. The constant rewriting of his origins was horrific, and looking at the several attempts they had, you can almost use him to see how the Marvel writing style has changed. See in his first mini-series where there is a scale to his darker side, he has ruined the world before. Then in his second mini-series (drawn by Romita Jr), we see his turmoil is more isolated, with only a city or two at stake. Then finally, in the Dark Avengers (I'm breezing over his introduction to the New Avengers because that is simply outside of a house) where, yes, it gets "gritty and realistic." They made him a drug addict, and not just addict to drugs, addicted to power.<br /><br />He spans the whole writing changes of the decade. Scale of the world, down-scaled to a few cities, to a garden, and then "realism".<br /><br />Incidentally what you proposed as his next story arc I thought of too, at least along similar lines. My theory was that he was far too powerful to be on Earth, so he could go on his own galactic quest, potentially getting caught up in matters concerning Nova or the Guardians of the Galaxy. Hell, imagine if he joined the Annnihilators. But I would've kept him on his own path.<br /><br />I find the What If? where he consumes the world hilarious and fucking amazing in equal proportion, simply because that could happen. It also pisses me off though that at least one other story in that book shows him dying, if I remember rightly.<br /><br />I would've much preferred if he was banished from Earth, but told up front about it, not like Planet Hulk, instead of being killed in such a manner. He would have the whole universe to travel in order to get over the crimes he has committed, and to get over the death of his wife.<br /><br />I respect Bendis introducing him back in to the universe, but I cannot forgive him for mutilating such potential. I can even understand why Marvel wouldn't make someone like Superman. Someone like Superman would stand out like a sore thumb in the Marvel universe. Everyone based on Earth seems to be at ground level, instead of high above everyone else, or in the Fortress of Solitude. Marvel can create scale, but their characters are down to earth, no matter how powerful they are. Even when Earth characters are in space, their mentalities are still very rooted to Earth, as if they still live on it.<br /><br />But, Sentry could have been the exception. There could be conflict between him and the Avengers if he steals their limelight, instead of having to limit his powers to fight by their side. He could do all the work instead of them, and more, almost making them not needed. Just, something that would properly capture the scale of the Sentry's power, and his potential.<br /><br />It's a shame. We'll see him again, but I almost hope we don't. Not unless he's treated with respect. For as long as he stays dead, no one can rape him.<br /><br />One final thought though. He shouldn't actually be dead should he? Several things. CLOC tells us in the funeral one shot that he shall rebuild the Watchtower and await his master's return. Reed is told to read a passage from his diary, which surely leads to something. He also has Molecule Man's powers, which means in theory he cannot die. The only reason I'm hesitant with such is that if Molecule Man can die, could Sentry? Or did Molecule Man only die because of how powerful Sentry is?<br /><br />R.I.P Robert, until about a year's time.<br /><br />Ps. Really liked your story arc idea. Who did the fake art for him and Galactus?SmoothYetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213848310190100315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088987141848715305.post-44884341458705432872011-08-19T11:14:19.787-05:002011-08-19T11:14:19.787-05:00I did like your story ideas for the Sentry.
It re...I did like your story ideas for the Sentry.<br /><br />It reminds me of all I liked from the first Gambit regular series. Each issue revealed something that would later be used in the stories themselves, even if, at the moment, it did not seem it would be a part of it. At the end, everything that happened in the comic had a reason to be there.Icecypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999359003183615788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088987141848715305.post-80590291304155953092011-08-10T01:13:25.789-05:002011-08-10T01:13:25.789-05:00Just to let you know, it's Siege, not Seige.
