Bump

What was the point of making Tony sober?

Sometimes a writer just wants to make his mark on a book. Sometimes they do stupid things that are hard to undo, just to make that mark.

There's no point. To that story or to any of it. Comic Book "writers" will keep on recycling past stories and adding the same soap opera drama to the same characters over and over again. There's nothing to be gained, nothing to be learned, from these "books". And as time moves forward, there is no enjoyment to be found either. You're stuck in an eternal loop, reading the same exact thing again and again, as if you're a grandma with dementia, staring at the tv and getting invested in the lives of cardboar cutouts that change their characters every other season. It's just that your cardboard cutouts wear tights. Everything they've ever done and will do, they will do over and over again. They, and you for that matter, are trapped. In an arcade machine at the back of some seedy bar. The only way out it not to play.

Sad, but true

Same point as the entirety of Original Sin, I guess. Retconning for the sake of... imaginary "controversy" sales, maybe?

To create a new Arno Stark and make him Ironman 2020

Bendis.
And he left the other writers with a hot potato since even though Tony looks a lot like Howard, reverting him back would be too controversial.
At least they were able to retcon most of his stuff after he was gone.

So they can turn him into a minority some time in the future. Howard Stark is white but if that’s not his actual dad then the options are limitless

Gotta spin them gears, man. If there isn't a steady influx of new drama every story arc, readers might realize that nothing they're reading has any stakes or matters in the slightest.

We already saw his actual father and he was white.
Sorry to burst your bubble casualgater :/

Was he though?

>Bendis.
Kieron Gillen made him adopted in his run. Bendis just gave him a rock and roll mom and Hydra agent dad

You've accomplished your goal of being hilariously depressing, but I still can't find fault in anything you've said.

Hush. You'll just confuse him with facts.

Gillen only brought Arno into 616, Bendis was the one who made the change in International Iron Man

You are just dumb.

Nah, the anons are right. Gillen made the adoption retcon. BENIS just followed through and gave him the actual parents.

I still dont understand the latest story line and what the fuck happened

>Tony is ded
>But not rly
>Nigga can "reset" his body like a fucking computer for some reason
>He decided to upload his concious as an AI for some reason
>Then he just casually brings another nigga back to life
>Even though he essentially discovered a way for human kind to be immortal this tech will now fade in to fucking obscurity for some reason

And then there is fucking Doom

>Doom decided that he wants to be a poor man's Ironmyn for some reason
>Doom got his shit pushed in by literally whos
>Nobody praised Doom for his heroic deeds so Doom decided that he would go back to being evil

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Wasn't the adoption retcon part of the Original Sin crapfest, before bendis was brought in to shit Iron Man further?

No. Original Sin was "Tony Stark tampered with the Gamma Bomb that created the Hulk" retcon bullshit. The adoption retcon happened a year before that during the Gillen run with the Secret Origin of Tony Stark.

>You are just dumb.
Said the guy who kept his response short so he wouldn't misspell anything.
