Not like that.

Honestly just do what you think would be good for the story and seems natural, things you'd think would seem really predictable will still surprise your players, you don't need to put too much effort into creating a twist, the differences between how you and them think is basically all you need

subtlety and logic

Isn't there a huge fucking iron fence in front of the White House?

That is clearly the Capitol Building

Kill off an NPC the party thought was important.

A) Not the whit house I'm sure
B) You think a metal fence can stop Captain Nazi, Identity Thief, Eye Candy and The Nerd?

Incidentally, would have been a far better twist if Freedom Eagle was the Nazi, get him to worm his way in, earn the trust of everyone, even persuade Cap to retire then BAM, SEIG HIEL!

That's actually a pretty cool design for an offensive shield.

Make it 20/20 hindsight.

Plant the seeds, reap the harvest.

Why doesn't Sam give Steve his shield back?

Marvel's full of left-pandering SJWs who cater to a heavily casual tumblrina crowd now, user. There'd be a huge backlash against Sam "giving back" something that's "always" been his.

>left-pandering SJWs
People whose writing I don't like

>heavily casual tumblrina crowd
People who enjoy something I enjoy but with whom I have little agreement

That is a very grumpy lady.

Because Steve is Steve all on his own. Sam is just Sam, so he needs a boost.

Or an international Jewish Conspiracy to promote Black people as a way to undermine white, Irish, Italian and Nordic people, who will be dragged down by inferior jeans. This is Tumblrs fault.

>he was HYDRA all along
Talk about deep cell. How long until this is retconned?

Eagle was mind controlled by the Red Skull in his very origin. (And wasn't all that great a person before that.)

>Captain America was a nazi after all

>So deep in cover that you are your own organizations worst enemy and have thwarted yourself hundreds of times
>Generally less powerful than his peers
>Two guys using the same name

Captain America is Alpharius, and Alpharius has had multiple models long before any other Primarch.

>People whose writing I don't like
Truly genius writing. I'm sure they'll get a Nobel prize or something.

>captain AMERIKKKA the nazi

it's just a reminder that BU$H = HITLER

NO BLOOD FOR OIL

Wait, really? Is that actually the story line?

It's probably time travel or some shit. People expecting good storylines from comic books deserve the suffering they receive.

>Implying Captain America isn't a Democrat.

Well until he switched to your side this month, at least.

Jack Flagg was never important

RIP anyway

This just screams "SJW in command".

...

Daamn,that's brutal,i didn't think feminism was tat widespread

The insecurity of the writer here is staggering.

by not making Red Skull into a thin straw-man of a current political candidate. and by remembering that when captain America is at odds with real world American values, he doesn't get written evil. instead he gets rid of the suit and goes rogue for a few years.

>Freedom Eagle

literally who

the Falcon who is now also Captain America

>not calling him captain falcon

Associating a badass like Doug with a pansy attention grabbing move from Marvel.

Yes, though it's mostly because Red Skull got a reality warping artifact and rewrote time.

honestly it's obviously just a set up for civil war 2 since they need to justify why he's going to be on team carol/minority report when it would be normally out of character for him

You'd think he could have done something better with it like, Nazis win WW2. But Nah, trust Marvel to shit the bed again.

remember when people doc ock being spidey SPOCK?

Shit website, but all it does is remind me of this:
someecards.com/news/comics/comics-showing-superman-asshole-wtf-funny/
And then the stupid explanation is always some mind or reality altering trick.

>Kill off a PC the party thought was important.

FTFY

That was fun for about six issues.

Scarlet Spider was better in every single way. Even the cross-over

>who will be dragged down by inferior jeans
I know that feel. I can never find any that aren't baggy as shit on me.

Plant seeds of doubt, but always reassure the players that everything is it seems to be. Build an event or person on the horizon and fill in detail as they grow closer. When they think they can touch it, the facade falls away to reveal everything they feared, yet knew couldn't be, lurking in the shadow of something larger and more horrific.

Boom, plot twist and yet the road goes ever on and on, towards greater things.

going by these marvel's nazis are pretty stupid

it's must be amazing that red skull could wipe his own ass

>/co/'s salt is so strong it's spreading to other boards
Good....Gooood

how bad is it on /co/ i heard about it on youtube

What was /co/'s reaction to the Tau in that one Venom comic?

Does /co/ even know about 40k?

...

What no link..

We don't care. This shit has been going on since the covers in the Silver Age and is never a real change. It's casuals who think this will last longer than an arc.
"Huh, that's interesting. This comic is shit. I hate Bendis for ruining Venom. Let's talk about 40k for 250 posts."

>italian

Guido plz

>image
Them Skrulls aren't even trying to hide anymore.

Yeah, for, like two weeks, before it turns out he's originally from Neptune, or we just kill him off again, or some other stupid thing happens.
It's fucking Marvel. Like they give a shit.

Yes, and Dr. Manhattan made the DC universe

>It's fucking Marvel. Like they give a shit
Which is really a huge part of the problem. Yes comics aren't selling well now, so at some level it makes sense to experiment to try and bring in new audiences, but the type of stuff their doing, such as huge amount of blatantly anti-male, pro regessive left garbage, only serves to pander to a group who has shown time and time again they don't actually buy stuff that panders, and at the same time isolate and at time out treat the people who would actually buy your comics like shit.
Oh well. That's why I stopped buy stuff from the big two a long time ago, and only pirate the very few comics they make that I actually want to read anymore.

Slow burn.

Give yourself and the NPCs time to develop and tie into whatever your plot is. Having a seemingly-unimportant NPC be crucially relevant to the story can be a genuine shock depending on the player, but only if you lay out the groundwork and characterization. Otherwise it'll feel like an ass pull.

>marvel has become so shit they loot vehicles like fucking orks to sell their leftist rags
I'm happy with all the money i saved by dropping capeshit a couple years back.

>40kid crying about something else being shit

Oh, the ironing.

Made the Nu52 not DC as a whole

Someone give me the summary of OP's pic.

>Cap was actually a nazi all along
>Jews BTFO

This reminds me of the time Deadpool had the battle rifle and pistol from Halo

>punching a dude for telling the truth because you don't like it

Amazing how, even in their own fictional stories, they oaint themselves as irrational idiots

>Not expecting feminism in a Wonder Woman comic.
ok

And the dude has his hands tied behind his back and isn't a threat anymore.
If that was a guy punching a woman, there'd have been a huge backlash, I bet.

Yes /co/ we get it you're mad, stop posting about it on every board. Or at least when they reveal it was actually his evil twin he forget to mention or whatever comic bullshit they come up with you'll post that everywhere too.

Marvel are too afraid of SJW backlash to print that.

My guess is hydra clone

>ITT; People that didn't read X where Captain America is revealed to be a Nazi super weapon.
>The Blue eyes blond hair are the giveaway.
>Red skull literally praising Cap as the future of the Reich.
Best comic.

If he believes it it is his truth. Doesn't make it universal truth.

>Wonder Woman Comic
>Marvel
Dude, really?

Which is what she should have said. "It stops people from lying, not from being wrong". Instead they just come off as being really buttmad

I mean, technically it was exploiting Barry's messing up time to redo the time line.

In the context of:

would you care to be a gentleman and retract your statements in a gracious manner? We can still be elegan/tg/entlemen to one another here on Veeky Forums.

>expecting reason from an SJW

>Marvel is run by SJWs reeee
no they aren't
>Here, have a pic from a DC comic as proof
Yeah, that's not gonna fly.

God modern comics are shit.
At this point I almost welcome the idea of making the MCU the mainline comic universe, and having Feige be in charge of it, as well as all the other stuff he's currently in charge of.

wait, is this real?

Also, someone post the "ethics in hammer wielding" one

How about this?
Will this fly? Marvel ignoring all their female heroes just to try and make the point that "women are opressed and underrepresented in comics"?

This has to be a parody.

Willful ignorance as they see fit is how these people operate. If you point out that Storm is one of the most powerful mutants and how Jean during her Phoenix period was also top shelf, they'll just say something about the ratio of male-to-female ratio being far too great for it to count. If you point out that She-Hulk is strong independent woman who need man (because she can actually handle herself in normal life and super heroing) they'll just say that she isn't strong as Hulk or smart as Reeds. If you point out that the Fem-Thor is kinda stupid because it just doesn't make sense (why is she supposed to be worthy again? Because she banged Thor? Doesn't the qualify half the women in Asgard too?) they'll cry mysogyny/mysoginy/mysowhatever. They are looking for shit to complain and ignore facts as they go or dismiss them as they wish.

Jesus, how disgusting
How's this?

I will give you credit for at least getting something from the right company this time, although given how there's only two that matter it's entirely possible it could have been random chance.

...

>individual eyeclops.

Ok. Does "if you like trump and don't like refugees you are a literal Nazi" count?

I wish user. I wish

This one, too

>mansplaning
This one bothers me the most, can you imagine the shitstorm if I accused someone of "womansplaining" and dismissed their argument based on their gender alone?

What about this? Is this, and the entirety of the drivel that is squirrel girl, random chance?

>Why am I being called a nazi because I support NatSoc~
Have you considered not supporting national socialism?

Well, Shillary cunton was accused of "goysplaining" to berine "I don't understand economics" sanders.
I really wish I was making this up.

That's not what mansplaining is. It's explaining something to someone who already knows it. Coined by an author who had someone badly explain her own book to her.
>squirrel girl is light hearted and doesn't take itself seriously
You going to whine about deadpool breaking the fourth wall next?

user, I'm a libertarian. I hate alt-right stormfags. That doesn't change that this is saying if you don't support the rapefugees, if you like your country to not be taken over by a cancerous and primitive religion, you are literally red skull.

[citation_needed]
I have heard that used to describe Kasich explaining the torah to jews tho.

Always have an excuse, don't you?

>I'm not a nazi, I just support them
*shrug*
>This abrahamic religion is somehow worse than any other one
Our country is already run by by a cancerous and primitive religion, last time i checked. It's in the pledge of allegiance and everything.

The fact that GALACTUS is arguing pronouns even in a comedy series is the stupidest thing I've ever seen

A cosmic entity that eats planets is arguing about the English language with a woman who's only power is the ability to talk to squirrels
