Sentry/The Void #1 (2001)

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

Lewis Pullman really landed two major movie franchises as guys named Bob

Which means…if we ever get a live-action Bob the Builder movie…hmm…

"You will be tested. And you will fall."

"So will you."

The sun, the moon, and their weaknesses.

The Sentry, Moon Knight, and their minds.

It took 20 million years but I finally gave this bastard the update he deserves.

Strange #9 Review

(Yes, I know the last issue is tomorrow and I’m super late. I blame my adhd. You know, the thing with deadlines? It’s a me)

Anyway, there are a few details I want to point out in this issue and some fundamental bits that I’d like to delve into. So let’s start with this panel.

I find it hilarious but I can understand why some people are not happy about Clea’s portrayal. It’s true she has never been this feral before but *IMO* I think it’s valid for her to have this side because 1) she was raised by Umar and Dormammu. Her father was a simp, her mother, a narcissistic queen, and her uncle is freaking Dormammu. Besides, let’s assume one cycle in the Dark Dimension equals 1000 years on Earth. We don’t know Clea’s age but we do know she was born during their reign so I assume she has a few centuries there at least; 2) she was the leader of a rebel army. My girl is not one sweet damsel in distress at all. She fought a war and saw many of her friends die; and 3) she has Faltinian blood. I’m glad she redirect their need to conquer towards love, though. So, in conclusion... I pretend I do not see it.

PS: Stephen’s pose like he were Batman sent me!!

Now let’s focus on this part because it’s always reassuring whenever a writer confirms what I’ve been talking about since forever ;-;

I usually tend to describe him as a healer, but doctor is also a good word once he knew that was his call since he was eleven.

And this is why I can’t accept whenever someone calls him self-centered (partially due to his MCU portrayal). Stephen is altruism incarnate. He’s very kind and doesn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself in order to save people’s lives (which is also shown later in the preview). This is not my personal instance, it’s literally all over this volume and so many other books.

And this panel pretty much sums up what I was trying to say about both Clea and Stephen.

We never managed to see Clea’s past and what it felt like to be raised in such a place. But we do know that she finally learned love through him, which is super unusual because love is most often associated with female characters, not the other way around. And this happened in the 60′s!

And noooow let’s appreciate Stephen’s sappiness because omv how I missed this. He’s been looking for someone to be this sappy with for ages ever since Clea left! It didn’t work with any of his flings because truth be told, he’s a hopeless romantic 🤧 Clea is lucky 💜 (and she blushes!!)

Now my favorite part because they’d be talking about Marc and Victor, it was such a bingo for me (for those who don’t know, they’re part of my top 5 characters tee-hee)

I love that they're trying to justify their faves here. Friendly reminder that Marc once stole Stephen’s powers in (ew) Age of Khonshu, so it’s kinda shocking for Stephen to hear that there’s kindness in Marc (but there is!!!). Meanwhile, Clea doesn’t really know Victor’s soft spot (yet) and they don’t usually see eye to eye, but Stephen is far more familiar with Victor and has seen kindness in him a few times (although yes, Victor isn’t one to give things freely. Listen, he’s complicated! *my Stephen side vouching for Victor is showing, I know...)

Moving on, I’m glad there’s an explanation for how Clea managed to become Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme without a new tournament. People be discussing this and tbh I was kinda tired. I just wait for things to be explained and look! Turns out it was.

Also I cry.

Aaaand he’s making jokes about being dead 💀

Moving on... Here I am once more, praising Jed for showing impeccable knowledge on Stephen’s lore. Director None reveals that he was in contact with the Trinity of Ashes and also working for them.

Back in Sorcerer Supreme, the magic deities were forcing Stephen to fight for them in the War of the Seven Spheres. He refused and lost part of hs power until he finally agreed to serve them. Except that the war lasted five thousand years. In order to preserve Stephen’s sanity, the Vishanti suppressed his memory of it (Sorcerer Supreme #48; #80).

Director None is using the revenants to spread chaos and pain in order to please the Trinity, but he’s also preparing a vessel for them. And this vessel is... well, THE Sentry.

Which is not only super dangerous but also painful for Stephen due to their history. Stephen once assisted Bob with a spell to make the world forget that he existed in order to eliminate the Void - Sentry’s “dark side" manifest (Sentry #4-5). Stephen also helped Bob with his mental health by locking him in his own mindscape (it was not ideal but it was the only way for Bob to feel safe without the Void’s influence). Stephen lied to Bob about the Void (it was somehow locked in the Sanctum?) and for that Bob ended their friendship (Doctor Strange #381-385).

It’s true that Bob died several times (last one was Knull’s doing, a very graphic and violent death, to put it mildly). But hm, it’s the Sentry. He always comes back. He’s like Marvel’s Superman, and that includes his strength. He beat Hulk in WWH. He’s that strong. So yeah, Clea and Stephen are really screwed =D

I’ve already read the preview pages for #10. I’m saving it all for tomorrow, though. I’m very much excited and it’s been a long journey. Can’t wait to see how Stephen will come back to life and how they’ll rekindle their marriage I’m not expecting spicy tomorrow but I won’t be denied in v6!! Did you hear me, Jed? I want my spicy!!

As usual, delicious food! See y’all tomorrow <3

(PS: I have access to the Infinity Comics now and I need to write a post on Victor Strange because Ewing is indeed cooking something for him. And I can finally have a full view on that by reading the Strange Tales compilation. Soon!)

How it started, how it's going

I acquired the void pudding

[chnldivr]

old vent kinda? i need to post my vents more

[idnegrosupernegro]

It's weird how knull killed sentry during king in black when sentry has been killed several times (including a few suicide attempts) and came back every time on top of the fact that if knull took the void out of sentry, wouldn't that only benefit bob? Wouldn't bob actually be willing to fight now that he's not scared of his own shadow?

Zemo better make a cameo. It would make more sense for him to be involved in the story. Also there should be a continuation of what was laid out in Captain America and the Falcoln. He talks a lot about supersoldiers revolution, revolutionary concepts. It would be fascinating if the Thunderbolts were tasked with going after governments and certain criminal organizations who wield power unchecked.

But given the politics of the MCU that would never happen. I also realize Zemo isn't exactly reformed and thus isn't a great candidate for such a team up. I can foresee him escaping the Raft, with help of course. Maybe my idea would work as a sequel to this first Thunderbolts film.

The Avengers, superheroes, icons, Nazis, supremacists, the super soldier program, his family's death, Sokovia's destruction, being in a cell. Zemo could be an amazing figure and force for justice but is mired by his trauma. He sees power concentrated into any hands as in need of destruction. Anything and anyone that could become like the Avengers or those they serve or work with. Rather than focusing on empowering everyday people to then like him fight back against similar or the same forces.

And prevent tragedies from happening. Some threats cannot be faced by everyday people, sometimes, powered individuals are needed. He just assumes they'll all be or become destructive and above reproach or accountability. It's always a liability and threat to the greater good and individuals to him.

The Sentry: The Void is Calling

Here is my first lineless artwork, inspired by the self-portrait of Arnold Bücklin.

Her name is Dexter and she has vibes, that is all I know. Character design fun I finally decided to finish from my character sketch WIP hole. Seeing as I basically have nothing else to do with her she's gonna be shoved into the Pocket Void. Quick brace design for her under the cut
