Talk:Avengers (comics)/Archive 1

message: Your current use of 'history' on the page doesn't make sense. You're passing it off as a history of the team, which is why, in such a case, everything needs to be included in the timeline.
This sucks. The other way was much better, but you need to distinguish between 'overview' and 'Avengers'. Your 'overview' is only an overview of one of the comics! The same goes for your 'history'.
And again, New Avengers is a different title. You can tell from the fact that the old comic was called 'Avengers' and the new one is called 'New Avengers'. Whether you want to believe that they're still the Avengers or whatever, the title is under a different name, thus making a new comic, and thus, not rendering it a part of the original comic's history, just as the Ultimates isn't.
I don't really agree with some of the 16 Sep 03 16:48 changes.  The fact that the Hulk wore clown make-up for part of (but not all of) the first issue seems like a trivial detail.  More significantly, I don't think the Justice League was really the model for the Avengers; rather, the success of the Justice League was the inspiration for the Fantastic Four.  The Avengers were simply one in a line of teams of previously-existing heroes (who trace their lineage back to the Justice Society of America).  Lastly, I don't think Cap's guilt over Bucky's death was really a running theme in the series.  It had a place in some of the Roy Thomas issues, but was not really a factor for the team as a whole - nor a theme for the book - for the most part.

message: Should the WCA get their own article, or at the very least, their own STB in this article? --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:14, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, they should get their own article (as should the various Justice League branches (especially Justice League International), FTM. If you're volunteering to do it, go ahead :) - SoM 22:12, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Sorry about that. When I submitted my changes, the bottom of the page got cut off. I dont know if the article is getting too big. --DrBat 14:11, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
:Not a problem. However, do stop replacing the JPG with the PNG. We've been through this before. The PNG you're putting there for the "Siege" cover just looks painfully oversaturated. --khaosworks 14:16, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

message: Okay, I think some people have trouble with the concept of "Merge".
Would "incorporate" work better? "Mingle"? "Mix"? "Combine"?
Definitely going against the spirit of the vote, if not quite the letter... - SoM 23:22, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: *West Coast Avengers was an independent team on the otherside of the US, with different members than the main team. Young Avengers is the equilivent of the Teen Titans or Young Justice.--Kross 19:36, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
*Jessica Drew called herself a "NEW AVENGER"
And she is a "new Avenger". This is her first time on the team.
I'm sick of this. It's a storm in a teacup to no purpose. - SoM 00:26, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  What the hell!? 

message: Hey, since I'm here already, I might wanna discuss about that Ronin stuff. Should we place it already? I've talked to people who have read the DK Press stuff and they said it was true. Or do we wait til Issue #13? --Windspinner 05:13, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not terribly bothered either way, as long as there's a cite for it. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 06:34, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't say I am terribly bothered; I was just spoilt and I wanna spoil everyone else. No, seriously, I got the DK book with me and it was really there. So can I edit, or can you, khaos, do the honors and cite this little DK Press spoiler. Oh by the way, the book is simply gorgeous. I'm gonna be editing the Ronin page anyways and I might as well merge that article, if I can, with Echo's. --Windspinner 06:36, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ronin 

message: I've reworded and left this section in, but I would like more opinions on this, as I'm not being nominated for a Squiddy is that big a deal (as I stated in the edit summary, even I got nominated once for favorite poster on r.a.c). Winning, possibly, not not just a nomination - there are tons of those. Also, I removed the Awards Almanac link since that's just generic and not related directly to the Avengers. Please discuss. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 23:06, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The "squiddy" nominations have been removed by the person who put them in in the first place.  Also, the more direct link to the Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards subpage has been put in as a replacement for the other link as it is the only one which I know of which lists the CBG  awards.  I will remove it if it is too vague, or if it is decided that the awards are not significant, however. Badbilltucker 15:06, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Awards 

message: *Don't merge. It would make sense to merge it if it were a story arc within the Avengers title, but it was a separate mini-series running concurrently with the main title, like The Domination Factor was (and unlike New Avengers, which is a continuation of the Avengers title). Placing it inside here with the associated summary would bloat the article, and we'd probably have to daughter it out with a  sooner rather than later. Note that a major story arc like "Operation: Galactic Storm" has its own page. Avengers Forever is just as notable. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 13:32, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with Avengers Forever? 

message: Just noticed the "Avengers redirects here" note at the top of the page, which is accurate. Shouldn't either that be changed to redirect to the disambig, OR this page should be moved to Avengers? - SoM 00:03, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

message: What about the 50's Avengers, with members like 3-D man, Gorilla-Man, Venus, Marvel Boy and Human Robot? Shouldn't they be mentioned somewhere?
:Mention it her under alternate versions, but put the bulk @ Agents of Atlas, the title of their new miniseries. - SoM 16:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
