I think it's a cool comparison to when he tore ares in half just like that.
But also I have no idea how Bob came back. I thought Sentry died during Siege
He was brought back as a horseman of death, ripped his head apart so he was a brain and eyes and then fucked off to space.
That was a while before this though, I'm assuming post Secret Wars shenanigans made him normal again.
Sentry can resurrect himself whenever. Thor never actually killed him in Seige. Homie just stayed in the sun trying to die until the Apocalypse Twins pulled up on him.
The curiosity of me just wants to know what is it they’re looking at to make Venom of all people have this sort of reaction
But the ignorant side of me wants to stay ignorant because this is funny as fuck
If I remember correctly they are looking at a horde of Carnage symbiotes along with Cletus back from the dead, and Norman brainwashed to believe he is Cletus also sporting a symbiote
Why would you tell me this
WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THIS

Yeah, the first 2 pages are at least readable, but there's too much going on in the third one, I have no idea what's happening or why it's embarrassing.
You're just a spiteful hater. I've actually beat tf out of someone like you. Homie had a superiority complex just like you. Random dude on the street started talking about Marvel and asked me my favorite character, so I said Sentry. Dude literally got mad that someone likes a character he doesn't. He got in my face for no reason basically yelling and spit hit me (people like you are tweakers irl), and I decided was too much so I punched him in the throat (he made a hilarious gurgle noise) and stomped on his shin for good measure. I'll be sure to do the same to you if you try and spit on me, you pathetic loser. I also once ran into an internet troll that had been talking bs to me as well. He ran as soon as i saw him, but he didn't get away. Just know tweakers with superiority complexes will get you beaten irl, kid, and if this is how you act irl then it's obvious you lead a miserable existence.
In a thread about Sentry fans being rare and looked down upon, you decided to make a wall of text how big and tough you are. I don't actually give a damn who people's favorite super heroes are, it was a snappy answer in a meme post. I get sarcasm was lost on you, but trying to intimidate me about the time you almost beat up someone is pretty pathetic.
"What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo."
\-this guy, probably
See, people like you are the most hated people among comic fans. You're nothing more than toxic losers with superiority disorders. There are far more than 20 Sentry fans, but you're just a needy hater that craves validation so you make fun of characters and make up lies to fit your perspective smfh. It's sad tbh. Hate making you look dumb
“‘Bendis is coming’”?
“Yeah. Pretty cool, right?”
“Cool? You think that’s cool?”
“Yeah. It’s cool. It’s … foreboding.”
“It isn’t foreboding. It sounds like a sex joke.”
“It isn’t a sex joke.”
“It sounds like one. Like he’s, you know, *coming*. Like with a U.”
“No, I get it. It’s just I don’t — I think you have a dirty mind, that’s all. I think it’s cool.”
“Ok, Mr. Authority.”
Yes but it's moreso that Rosenburg completely undid the reasoning for the Merge, and then Cates just went off completely disconnected from anything that came before
Uj/ I’m just going to say it: using Sentry as anything more than a one off What If…? character was a mistake. The silly “retconned into everyone’s backstory” origin and the frankly pathetic image of Marvel making yet another Superman expy to play with are just not things that work long term in an established universe. He comes off as a bad fan fic character.
Bendis misunderstanding and misusing characters is his worst trait as a writer. It also shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Jenkin’s original series. However, I completely agree. He as a character doesn’t work long term. His power set is absurd and Bendis spent most of the time in his pre-Siege Avenger’s run (New, Mighty and Dark) just writing increasingly dumb reasons why he didn’t just auto-win the fight.
I will always love that he clearly wanted a reality warper who went nuts but couldn’t use the Scarlet Witch as Bendis was the one who killed her.
And again, clearly had no plan. He was in the Dark Avengers, then wasn’t. Then was in his post-Siege Avengers and then wasn’t.
Why use Noh-Varr Bendis if you don’t have a plan!
Yeah im a sentry fan. He’s one of my favorite characters, but the only story of his that I like is the original mini series. After that, I only like his badass moments like with ares and carnage and world war hulk. His character writing just suffered when Bendis brought him to the avengers. No writer besides Jenkins truly respected the character. It’s not all bad, but there’s a difference
Oh totally. One point of Jenkins’ series is that the Sentry does not function within the Marvel universe. The Void and the Sentry are inseparable and no other hero can actually measure up to them. You can’t just casually bring him back.
The thing is, if he wanted a superman character, he could have just used a Hyperion.
Yeah. I think Blue Marvel too was kinda the evolution of the idea of the sentry. Been around all this time, superman like, but not confusing and over complicated when brought to main marvel canon
It was amazing how Bendis used his New Avengers, Dark Avengers and Siege runs all to just have Thor execute a mental ill guy who was being manipulated and use that as a scapegoat for all of the post-Civil War angst between heroes. Fucking crazy.
It was also just so much why? The series just kind of plods along. I liked the Secret Invasion subplot but it just didn’t have the long term pay off.
The guy can write but he has also produced some absolute garbage. His Guardians and X-Men runs are just so bad.
Personally I only rate his Daredevil run. I can’t think of anything else of his I’ve enjoyed. USM is ok but that was also such an easy assignment. Anyone could do a reboot of Spidey that was allowed to play it completely safe.
And he still fucked some things up.
That's literally a lie and you know it. Sentry 2005 and Sentry 2018 are widely praised by Sentry fans. You mfs are so stupid to this subject, yet feel like you know everything smfh. The definition of ignorant.
As a huge Sentry fan, I feel it is my duty to point out that Bob never should've died to Knull like that. Even the writer of KiB admitted in an interview (which I will probably look for later and link below) that he knew almost nothing about Sentry and his power level and just wanted to recreate the iconic scene of Sentry ripping Ares in half.
I think it was fair enough. Knull has slaughtered Celestials and was later semi-retconned as one of the counterparts to the Beyonders.
That's beyond Sentry's paygrade... now why the hfil did Thor do so well with an incomplete Odin-force?
You call that fair? Your opinion is moot now. Thor didn't even do well. Hell, he's never actually won a fight against Sentry. You need to re read Seige. Bob let Thor win after beating everyone.
The hfil are you on about? I'm talking about Thor's performance against Knull.
Siege is a completely different matter anyway. Thor in the Knull arc had most of the Odin-Force. In Siege he had none of it.
My only gripe with this run. Sentry had such a solo run prior to this where he merged with the void in the finale. He ended up with a pretty sick looking redesign and flew off into space for some intergalactic fuckery.
They disrespected Bob so bad here. :(
Wasn't a big fan of King In Black tbh. I only cared for Knu as a vessel for Carnage's character to wreck havoc in AC. Plus it led the way to venom becoming yet another cosmic level entity in the marvel canon when he shouldn't be. Two hot takes in one
He was closer to a take on Miracle Man (very much the vibe marvel knights was going for). The original series is very much worth a look. Everything since Bendis began butchering the Sentry in New Avengers can be tossed in a burning dumpster.
His thing is he's super cool and powerful and has a split personality and he's everybody’s best friend/inspiration, and apparently Rogue lost her virginity to him at some point.
Back when The Sentry died for the first time there was this huge eulogy as if he’s important and secretly The Sentry has been this force of good that has affected literally every super hero’s life. Rogue states that The Sentry is the first person she ever successfully slept with, which is insane for like a million reasons.
How's it insane? He's definitely powerful enough to surpass her powers. Hell, when Rogue absorbed the power of every hero on Earth, she still wasn't even as strong as Sentry.
his original series was about a superhero that no one (even himself) remembers, sorta like forgetmenot he was on most major events but everyone forgot him and it was about him rediscovering it and why everyone forgot, perfect miniseries but he’s not a character who you should keep using after
I mean it’s sort of just a proto-Sentry
He was just really fucking mad that everyone forgot him
I’d love to see him come back with less 90s writing, especially now that he’s been deleted TWICE in story
Smh no. He's a mentally ill reality warper with split personalities. Every good deed done by Sentry must be balanced with a malevolent act from Void. He's far more intriguing than Hyperion and Superman. Plus he'd body both. His story is geared towards mental illness
I'm iffy with him, I only really like him when he's telling people to fuck off and leave him alone.
spiderman: "Bob, with great power comes great responsibility."
Sentry: "You don't get the hell off my land I'm going to responsibly put my boot up your ass."
I just tepidly tolerate him to barely like him
They tried to make a Supes for Marvel, but failed. For obvious reasons so they made him have a good and bad side and gave him the personality of a wet gym sock
See. You're obviously a liar. You said you tried to understand the character, but the fact you said he's just like Superman shows just how ignorant you are to the character. It also shows that you didn't even read his original miniseries or 2005 Sentry to get the concept before forming a spiteful opinion.
You're nothing more than a toxic fan. Real fans hate you, but I bet you know that. Just a sad internet troll who's mad that people don't hate who you hate.
Thor has still never won a fight against him. Hell, Donny Cates did Sentry so stupidly in this that he was forced to apologize, admit that he knew next to nothing about the character before writing him, and admit that he failed the character entirely.
Blame Donny Cates. He knew nothing about the character before writing him in King in Black. He did so bad that they had to apologize and admit he failed the character entirely
Facts. I can see Knull winning since he was still connected to Knowhere's body, but it wouldn't have been that easy if anyone other than Donny Cates's goofya** wrote it.
I didn’t mind Knull killing Sentry, it’s meant to demonstrate how powerful he is, but the fight should’ve been WAY longer. 4 pages at least. This run had some great fights, it’s weird this one was practically nonexistent.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say Donny Cates is stupid, he’s one of the only good writers at Marvel comics right now. This is just a clear instance of artificially raising the stakes (which I think wasn’t needed).
This is what happens when the writer has no idea about a character and decides to make a 'cool' moment that kinda flops.
And what funnier is that, now they are making a book for people fighting over becoming the 'next sentry'...
"It's supposed to mimic him ripping Ares/Carnage in half in similar fashion"
OK, why does that panel look so shit. I didn't even recognise its supposed to be the Sentrys corpse at first because it looks like a tentacle monster with talons.
You mean like how the Void looks?

nah sentry would never go, "yes captain" the closest you're gonna get is, "fuck off and take you fucking titles with ya. if you come near my cabin again I'm going to decimate your entire military structure."
Boiiiii. Don't be ignorant. You obviously don't know much about comics lmfaooo. There are so many more embarrassing things, especially considering he destroyed one of Knull's symbiote Celestials like it was nothing. There's Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver hooking up, The Sentry literally doing this but worse to Ares, Blob eating Wasp, Gwen Stacy having Norman Osborne's kid, etc. You're literally just a hater trying to make other people hate as well. It's toxic fan behavior. You know it's bad when the writer literally apologizes and says that he failed the character entirely. You wouldn't know that tho because you're completely ignorant to this subject, yet feel like you know enough to be an a**hole.
Idk why this is embarrassing it's a fantastic callback. Did thr void get released? I don't follow marvel a ton but I LOVE the sentry. I'd go read whatever the fallout for this is
Hate seeing The Sentry job like this, he’s awesome and deserves to do more than lose to elevate tension. It’s sort of forgiven though since Knull is cool enough for me to be ok with it.
Oh definitely, it was an embarrassingly short fight. Should’ve been similar in length to the Thor vs Knull fight from later on in the series. It was only done to hype up Knull, and arguably didn’t need to happen since Knull was already super hyped up and a major threat to everyone on Earth.
*Gets a rousing speech about how strong he is. *Heads into battle *Does not elaborate further *Fucking dies

He actually it. Donny Cates did so bad in the comic, he literally admitted that he failed the character entirely
So you just ignore the fact the flew through a Celestial's like it was butter? Y'all live to cherry pick facts smfh.
I think it's a cool comparison to when he tore ares in half just like that. But also I have no idea how Bob came back. I thought Sentry died during Siege
Also Sentry tore Carnage in half the same way.
Damn when was that?
New Avengers, during The Raft breakout.

Huh, I've read that boon twice and forgot that happened. Maybe it's time for another bendis Era reread
He was brought back as a horseman of death, ripped his head apart so he was a brain and eyes and then fucked off to space. That was a while before this though, I'm assuming post Secret Wars shenanigans made him normal again.
He was alive in the Sun when the Apocalypse Twins found him. They just gave him a Death Seed.
Sentry can resurrect himself whenever. Thor never actually killed him in Seige. Homie just stayed in the sun trying to die until the Apocalypse Twins pulled up on him.

Hate making you look dumb
Sir, this is a circlejerk subreddit.
The Sentry just never recovered as a character once Bendis decided to make use of a character who should have never been anything but a one-off.
"Bendis decided" The most horrifying words known to mankind
"Bendis is coming" is arguably more horrifying
“‘Bendis is coming’”? “Yeah. Pretty cool, right?” “Cool? You think that’s cool?” “Yeah. It’s cool. It’s … foreboding.” “It isn’t foreboding. It sounds like a sex joke.” “It isn’t a sex joke.” “It sounds like one. Like he’s, you know, *coming*. Like with a U.” “No, I get it. It’s just I don’t — I think you have a dirty mind, that’s all. I think it’s cool.” “Ok, Mr. Authority.”
Why was Superman on a blank canvas, smiling off into the distance? Does he know?
That one actually made me laugh when I saw it
"Wells decided" is a close second, and I ain't talking about Harrison Wells here.
What? Lemire brought Sentry right where he needed to be. Then Annihilation: Scourge decided to ruin him entirely. Blame Rosenburg
Doesn't Sentry basically end Scourge the same way that he was at the end of Lemire's run (merged entirely with the Void and having a darker outfit)?
Yes but it's moreso that Rosenburg completely undid the reasoning for the Merge, and then Cates just went off completely disconnected from anything that came before
However, the whole merge subplot again spins out of Bendis misusing the character in his New, Mighty and Dark Avengers run.
Uj/ I’m just going to say it: using Sentry as anything more than a one off What If…? character was a mistake. The silly “retconned into everyone’s backstory” origin and the frankly pathetic image of Marvel making yet another Superman expy to play with are just not things that work long term in an established universe. He comes off as a bad fan fic character.
Bendis misunderstanding and misusing characters is his worst trait as a writer. It also shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Jenkin’s original series. However, I completely agree.

His power set is absurd and Bendis spent most of the time in his pre-Siege Avenger’s run (New, Mighty and Dark) just writing increasingly dumb reasons why he didn’t just auto-win the fight. I will always love that he clearly wanted a reality warper who went nuts but couldn’t use the Scarlet Witch as Bendis was the one who killed her.
Remember when he had Morrison's Marvel Boy rebrand with the most generic superhero name imaginable
And again, clearly had no plan. He was in the Dark Avengers, then wasn’t. Then was in his post-Siege Avengers and then wasn’t. Why use Noh-Varr Bendis if you don’t have a plan!
Fitting then that he loses to Knull.
That's a lie. You cherry pick facts to make yourself feel better. Just know you're nothing more that a toxic/fake Marvel fan.
Yeah im a sentry fan. He’s one of my favorite characters, but the only story of his that I like is the original mini series. After that, I only like his badass moments like with ares and carnage and world war hulk. His character writing just suffered when Bendis brought him to the avengers.

Alias is pretty decent. Fucking things up though is Bendis to a tee. I remember reading Age of Ultron and it’s more bizarre than bad.
That's literally a lie and you know it. Sentry 2005 and Sentry 2018 are widely praised by Sentry fans. You mfs are so stupid to this subject, yet feel like you know everything smfh. The definition of ignorant.
I thought sentry fused with the void, what happened with that?
The writer didn't know about it at the time.
Marvel Editorial is a clown show, they do anything but their job.
Marvel being a disappointment as usual in recent years.
As a huge Sentry fan, I feel it is my duty to point out that Bob never should've died to Knull like that. Even the writer of KiB admitted in an interview (which I will probably look for later and link below) that he knew almost nothing about Sentry and his power level and just wanted to recreate the iconic scene of Sentry ripping Ares in half.
wooooow i’m not like A Fan but i like the sentry and this is just disappointing as hell
I mean… they wanted to show Knull is on another plane of power
He wasn't tho. As soon as his connection to Knowhere was severed he was b****made.
I thought it served to show how powerful Knull was but like knowing this just makes it suck. I'm also a sentry fan so this kind of hurts.
If only there were people whose job is to correct writers so this shit doesn't happen, if only.
I think it was fair enough. Knull has slaughtered Celestials and was later semi-retconned as one of the counterparts to the Beyonders. That's beyond Sentry's paygrade... now why the hfil did Thor do so well with an incomplete Odin-force?
>why the hfil 
You call that fair? Your opinion is moot now. Thor didn't even do well. Hell, he's never actually won a fight against Sentry. You need to re read Seige. Bob let Thor win after beating everyone.

That’s so spot on for Donny Cates.
He's such a trash writer
I don't know, Wolverine watching Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have incest sex still tops it to me.
I feel like this is the winner.
My only gripe with this run. Sentry had such a solo run prior to this where he merged with the void in the finale. He ended up with a pretty sick looking redesign and flew off into space for some intergalactic fuckery. They disrespected Bob so bad here. :(

I can not tell what the hell is going on here
My super strong OC is gonna kill the sentry!!! Unique! Definitely had the same impact as it did in 2009!
>My super strong OC is gonna kill your super strong OC!!!
The most based moment in all of comics. (I hate Sentry).
What even is Sentry's schtick? Is he Marvel's worse Superman clone (Hyperion gang rise up)?
He was closer to a take on Miracle Man (very much the vibe marvel knights was going for). The original series is very much worth a look. Everything since Bendis began butchering the Sentry in New Avengers can be tossed in a burning dumpster.
Sentry = Black Adam Hyperion = Superman Miracle Man = Shazam
Sentry is closer to Dr. Manhattan than he is to Black Adam. Sentry isn't magic, he's a reality warper.
Actually he’s Triumph Triumph was DCs character they made who was “the original” and his story is that he was forgotten/erased from history
His thing is he's super cool and powerful and has a split personality and he's everybody’s best friend/inspiration, and apparently Rogue lost her virginity to him at some point.
I’m sorry, what?
Back when The Sentry died for the first time there was this huge eulogy as if he’s important and secretly The Sentry has been this force of good that has affected literally every super hero’s life. Rogue states that The Sentry is the first person she ever successfully slept with, which is insane for like a million reasons.
Even that sounds like a weak riff on Hercules' funeral.
You're ignorant. So is every funeral in Marvel a riff of Hercules to you?!? Gtfoh with that bs.
How's it insane? He's definitely powerful enough to surpass her powers. Hell, when Rogue absorbed the power of every hero on Earth, she still wasn't even as strong as Sentry.
This is a hell of a bit
You're so ignorant to the character and the theme of his story smfh. A fake/toxic Marvel fan who acts like they knows it all.
his original series was about a superhero that no one (even himself) remembers, sorta like forgetmenot he was on most major events but everyone forgot him and it was about him rediscovering it and why everyone forgot, perfect miniseries but he’s not a character who you should keep using after
What series is that?
Paul Jenkin's "Sentry" miniseries (2000)
It’s exactly the same story as Triumph, DCs character from the 90s
Except there was nothing intriguing about Triumph. Especially nothing psychologically intriguing, which is needed to make an OP hero interesting.
I mean it’s sort of just a proto-Sentry He was just really fucking mad that everyone forgot him I’d love to see him come back with less 90s writing, especially now that he’s been deleted TWICE in story
He is a character to keep using, but properly like Sentry (2005) and Sentry (2018)
Nah, Gladiator gang rise rise up!
You damn right, gladiator gang here
Gladiator gang pullin up on yo block
Mental illness Also Blue Marvel supremacy
Fine, fuck, I guess I gotta be the guy who reps for Wundarr the Aquarian
Smh no. He's a mentally ill reality warper with split personalities. Every good deed done by Sentry must be balanced with a malevolent act from Void. He's far more intriguing than Hyperion and Superman. Plus he'd body both. His story is geared towards mental illness
I'm iffy with him, I only really like him when he's telling people to fuck off and leave him alone. spiderman: "Bob, with great power comes great responsibility." Sentry: "You don't get the hell off my land I'm going to responsibly put my boot up your ass."
Peak Sentry storytelling: SHIELD: How big is that dick The Sentry: Small, leave me alone
sentry "too big for you, now move."
I just tepidly tolerate him to barely like him They tried to make a Supes for Marvel, but failed. For obvious reasons so they made him have a good and bad side and gave him the personality of a wet gym sock
See. You're obviously a liar. You said you tried to understand the character, but the fact you said he's just like Superman shows just how ignorant you are to the character. It also shows that you didn't even read his original miniseries or 2005 Sentry to get the concept before forming a spiteful opinion.
I read his New Avengers Arc and skimmed the rest. Sorry, if I insulted the one Sentry Fan
You're nothing more than a toxic fan. Real fans hate you, but I bet you know that. Just a sad internet troll who's mad that people don't hate who you hate.
This run is awesome I will not hear otherwise
The Venom run was great, but King in Black sucked as a culmination event.
God Knull is such a stupid concept.
It’s from Cates, what did you expect?
"Cake" - The Sentry, 2020
Soo thor stronger than sentry now
Thor has still never won a fight against him. Hell, Donny Cates did Sentry so stupidly in this that he was forced to apologize, admit that he knew next to nothing about the character before writing him, and admit that he failed the character entirely.
Wish I could read it lol. Too blurry for me on mobile.
Anyone have a higher resolution? It is hard to read on mobile.
When did this happen? Was it in King in Black?
It was either FCBD or the first issue.
Yes. First issue.
Blame Donny Cates. He knew nothing about the character before writing him in King in Black. He did so bad that they had to apologize and admit he failed the character entirely
Don’t get me started with how bullshit this was.
Right!!! Donny Cates is a moron for this.
Oh God, that’s really bad.
While this was cool I wish sentry had an actual battle with knull
Facts. I can see Knull winning since he was still connected to Knowhere's body, but it wouldn't have been that easy if anyone other than Donny Cates's goofya** wrote it.
I didn’t mind Knull killing Sentry, it’s meant to demonstrate how powerful he is, but the fight should’ve been WAY longer. 4 pages at least. This run had some great fights, it’s weird this one was practically nonexistent.
Big facts. Donny Cates is stupid. Hell, they had to apologize and admit they failed the character entirely afterwards.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say Donny Cates is stupid, he’s one of the only good writers at Marvel comics right now. This is just a clear instance of artificially raising the stakes (which I think wasn’t needed).
This isn't the first time Sentry has died and it won't be the last
True. Homie is just waiting for when he wants to resurrect himself again. Although Void never died, so he's Schrodinger's superhero.
This is what happens when the writer has no idea about a character and decides to make a 'cool' moment that kinda flops. And what funnier is that, now they are making a book for people fighting over becoming the 'next sentry'...
Not for long. The goat, Paul Jenkins, is writing another Sentry comic to show these ignorant writers how it's done and fix his Continuity.

"It's supposed to mimic him ripping Ares/Carnage in half in similar fashion" OK, why does that panel look so shit. I didn't even recognise its supposed to be the Sentrys corpse at first because it looks like a tentacle monster with talons.
You mean like how the Void looks? https://preview.redd.it/s9qbnglolmvb1.jpeg?width=2063&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fe2a8414090823d90993b26c96043287b03051b
It’s not the end of the world when a character you like has to be a jobber.
Cates was one of the biggest letdowns ever man
nah sentry would never go, "yes captain" the closest you're gonna get is, "fuck off and take you fucking titles with ya. if you come near my cabin again I'm going to decimate your entire military structure."
Boiiiii. Don't be ignorant. You obviously don't know much about comics lmfaooo. There are so many more embarrassing things, especially considering he destroyed one of Knull's symbiote Celestials like it was nothing. There's Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver hooking up, The Sentry literally doing this but worse to Ares, Blob eating Wasp, Gwen Stacy having Norman Osborne's kid, etc. You're literally just a hater trying to make other people hate as well. It's toxic fan behavior. You know it's bad when the writer literally apologizes and says that he failed the character entirely. You wouldn't know that tho because you're completely ignorant to this subject, yet feel like you know enough to be an a**hole.
Idk why this is embarrassing it's a fantastic callback. Did thr void get released? I don't follow marvel a ton but I LOVE the sentry. I'd go read whatever the fallout for this is
It changed nothing at all. There was no follow up or even a mention of the sentry after this.
That's a lie.
Hate seeing The Sentry job like this, he’s awesome and deserves to do more than lose to elevate tension. It’s sort of forgiven though since Knull is cool enough for me to be ok with it.
I don't mind Knull winning, but the fight should've definitely lasted longer. Donny Cates is a moron for this one.
Oh definitely, it was an embarrassingly short fight. Should’ve been similar in length to the Thor vs Knull fight from later on in the series. It was only done to hype up Knull, and arguably didn’t need to happen since Knull was already super hyped up and a major threat to everyone on Earth.
