So apparently Marvel has decided to kill off Johnny Storm (my personal favorite member of the Fantastic Four). Apparently he died fighting some creatures from the Negative Zone. Spiderman has replaced him according to his will but the Fantastic Four is now known as the Future Foundation and their children are a part of the group along with two other kids who I don't know and a reprogrammed Dragon-man. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm displeased by this.

I'm displeased by 98% of what I see out of Marvel anymore

The only thing that interested me is the fact that Spider-Man is involved. As many people have stated when someone made a thread about Human Torch's death (Though at the time no one even knew who was gonna die yet.) they will revive Torch in a couple of years from now. Death in Marvel never lasts. Unless it is Ultimate Marvel.

I just can't handle Marvel's crap anymore. Of course, it's been several years since I've steadily ready anything they make at all, and everything I hear coming out of them just convinces me that I don't want to bother going back.

I know what you mean. I don't pick up a comic in years and when I do I find out crap like this.

The way he "died" was ridiculous. He was getting dogpiled. That's it. It's not like he can't area effect and ransack an army or two. I think they tried to fix the problem of death being cheap by not actually confirming the death, meaning it's just a misunderstanding, but then it makes the whole buildup anticlimatic.

Eh, like it's been said before death in marvel means nothing. They brought back nearly every dead character in the Skrull invasion. That's just that one instance. Aside from that I'm not a marvel fan any more. The 1 million X-Men remakes, Disney merger, and Spider-Man Musical made sure I wasn't going to spend any more money on their crap.

The reason death means nothing in the marvel universe or in comics period anymore is yes because barely any character stays dead but the other problem is when they kill off a character for no reason. There have been times in the past where a character has died and it has added to the storyline or made things take a more interesting twist but there have been so many more times where the character has died pointlessly without it adding to the story. In fact many times it has detracted from the comic and making the whole storyline worse.

I agree with the second part of Protoj's statement; death is meaningless because it's too common now.
I actually don't think that people not staying dead is that big of a deal. They never have. It's the fact that killing someone has become the thing to do that makes death truly pointless.

I think I'd appreciate comic book death much more if deaths were integral parts of an event, rather than being the event itself, or worse, being thrown in to spice up an otherwise less interesting event.

This, exactly. It's not as if they can't do this. Wasp's death in Secret Invasion was done this way.

I've always liked Marvel's characters better than their storylines. Comic death is not something I think they handle well. They can't even make fun of it right, two words: Marvel Zombies. *sigh* I used to like zombies.
