Indie RP account for Peter Jason Quill (Star-Lord) from Earth-616 (strictly Pre-Cancerverse). Tracks "starlordrp" tag. Please read the disclaimer page. Since February 2013.
(I'd reply my threads today, but someone who I cared a lot unfollowed me probably because of that rant I did few days ago. They are really fans of the new GotG.
Well, I really didn't mean to hurt nobody with that. I just wanted to rant why I dislike that volume, give my followers and other people a reason why I rplay only with pre-Cancerverse Peter. But I guess it's too late to do something. Sorry if someone took offense of that post, but I didn't mean to hurt nobody.
whispers i want to hear what you have to say about the gotg movie please be soulless and brutal to it
(Well, there are some points I didn't like in the GotG movie, but again, it's another reality.)
Peter is a womanizer in that movie. Okay, it's a different universe, but that helps a lot for the new GotG volume to have reasons to write 616 Peter as a womanizer too. That pisses me off, because 90% of GotG fans on Tumblr just watched the movie, and 20% of them read only the newest volume. And for them, flirtatious Peter is CANON and HE'S AMAZING like that. Thanks to the movie, yay!
The way they portrayed Drax in the movies irks me a lot. He's too irresponsible and dumb. And weak. If you read Annihilation, you see he's not weak AT ALL. He killed Thanos, for Christ's sake. In the movie, Ronan without the Infinite Gem defeated him so easily, and I got so disappointed. But... another reality, different personalities. Adaptation. He was fun, though.
The Nova Corps. Okay, again, they are part of Earth-199999, but... man... I got so disappointed at Nova Corps. First of all, no Richard Rider in the movie. Rider is one of the most IMPORTANT cosmic characters in comic books, not only Marvel. Why the fuck didn't they have a Rider for this movie??? I spent the entire movie looking for Richard, and nothing. Second, the Nova Corps was in the movie just to hold Ronan and his allies. They were defeated so easily, and Xandar would succumb if the Guardians (in a lucky way) didn't save them. I expected more of the Nova Corps. Ah, their uniforms... ugh.
Peter/Gamora hints. Why? Why in all movies you need a romantic relationship? Okay, I get it. It's another reality, blah, blah, blah. But man... can't they be just friends? Gladly, we didn't have a kiss, or other things, but the hint pissed me off. I hope the next movie has Adam, so Adam/Gamora can happen.
In general, I loved the movie, but nothing is perfect. *shrugs* But those negative points don't even piss me off a lot. The entire movie is fun.
(( *gently bothers with hugs* also I'm in agreement with everyone saying that the "don't tag hate" anon was a little over reacting, cause you weren't hating, you were criticizing the way Bendis and Humphries are writing Peter because they fragrantly ignore established canon. Criticism is not hate, or else the entire profession of published Literature academics just went out the window.
(Awwwwww, thank you so much, bb! I totally agree with you, I was just criticizing the way Bendis and Humphries are writing my favorite character ever. Jesus, if Marvel Now was a reboot like the New 52, I wouldn't be ranting that much. But it isn't, and that pisses me off.
*hugs you tightly* I love ya, bb. And I miss you. <3)
to "don't tag your hate" anon: tags are no ones personal comfort zone. If you can't take that peoples opinion can differ from yours, then you are not adult enough to use the Internet and I suggest you to close your browser, and go outside.
THIS. Thank you, man!
Seriously, I put it under a read more. They will just read if they click on the link.
(I have a huge rant to write about GotG v3 (and now, Legendary Star-Lord) that I held for more than a year and a half. If you enjoy those stories, please, don't take it personally, because I'll respect your opinion if you respect mine. After all, I have the right to rant about something I don't like.)
Bendis and Humphries are DESTROYING Peter's characterization. Seriously, you have NO idea how much they're MUTILATING Peter. Let's put topics on this thing, because I have so much to say...
About Peter's Looks:
I remember I was excited for the new GotG last year when I saw the first artwork of the volume: A blonde Peter Quill. And I asked everyone, "why Peter is blonde? I thought he was a brunette in GotG v2". At that time, I haven't read the classic Star-Lord yet nor the Avengers issue that he showed up. People told me Peter was originally blonde in his classic stories, and with that, I decided to read them. Guess what?
That's a panel from Marvel Preview 4, first Star-Lord comic. THAT LOOKS LIKE A BLONDE PETER TO YOU? Although we can't really say what color his hair is, WE CAN STILL SAY THAT'S TOO DARK FOR BLOND. The only moment that Peter showed up as a blonde guy was in Marvel Super Special 10, and just in ITS COVER. There are also some stories that his hair looks blond, but you can also say it's light brown.
That's a panel from the Marvel Super Special 10. Peter's hair here is light brown, not blond like the newest GotG is showing. Blonde is Aletha, the woman in this same panel! SO WHY PEOPLE KEEP SAYING PETER WAS ORIGINALLY BLONDE? Believe me, HE WASN'T.
Ah, but there are people who say Peter dyed his hair. Okay, so far so good, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PANELS HE SHOWED UP AS A KID? HE'S FUCKING BLONDE THERE. So yes, I have this impression that Bendis changed his hair color just to make him a womanizer (I'll talk about that later).
Why am I ranting about Peter's hair color? You change a character not only psychologically, but also physically. You put a hot blonde in the cover, and everybody wants to buy the comic book. When we put a Peter wearing his Annihilation Conquest uniform, nobody gives a damn. Not until the movie was released. I'm not saying that people who enjoys the new GotG only buy the issues because of that, but believe it or not, that's fucking marketing. Marketing to call attention, especially from women who are now a good part of the comic book readers. A blonde, hot Peter would call more attention than a Peter from the previous GotG, unfortunately.
Peter Quill - Womanizer:
That's probably the WORST thing that Bendis did to Peter. You read the classic Star-Lord, then the Thanos Miniseries, then Annihilation, Annihilation Conquest, War of Kings, Realm of Kings and Thanos Imperative: how many times Peter had sex with a girl? ONCE. ONCE, GODDAMMIT. THAT'S TOO MUCH COMIC BOOK, AND PETER HAD SEX ONLY WITH ALETHA!
"Ah, but Peter flirted with Phyla-Vell and Gamora already!" Let me explain something to you, FLIRTING IS DIFFERENT FROM BEING A WOMANIZER.
So why did Peter flirt with them during Annihilation? Wasn't he trying to have sex with them? Okay, here is the thing. Peter just lost Ship (the love of his life) in a battle with the Fallen One (an ex-Herald of Galactus). He just didn't lose her, but he also had to sacrifice 350000 people in a planet nearby to defeat this son of a bitch, or else, Fallen One would kill more than that. Then, he turned himself and the Fallen one over to the Nova Corps. He would spend a time at Kyle Prison, a place everyone knew THAT WOULD KILL ALL THE INMATES. Nobody survived that place, AND HE TURNED HIMSELF OVER TO BE LOCKED UP IN THAT PLACE. Life, for him, didn't matter anymore, and the guilty strangling him was worse than staying there. So, Kallark came and practically took Peter away from that prison by force. BY FORCE.
But, John, what does that story have to do with Peter being a womanizer in Bendis' run?
Okay, now I'm going to explaining why Peter was a bit flirtatious in Annihilation. Peter left the Shi'ar Imperial Guard to fight in Annihilation, joining forces with Richard Rider and the others. He was doing that to forgive himself from the Fallen One incident, because he wanted to help and show people he changed. Then, he began to flirt with Phyla-Vell and Gamora (and I can remember only once for each of them), BUT NOTHING ELSE. Why did he flirt with them? According to thepsychmind.com, "Flirting is an effective way of reducing loneliness, depression and relieving stress". Peter was lonely because he lost the love of his life, because he didn't have any friends at that time, only teammates (then, the team's relationship would develop to a friendship until the end of Annihilation). Peter was depressed because of the incident with the Fallen One, and Peter was stressed because of the damn war. He needed to do something to relieve his pain, or else, he would feel suicidal again. YES, HE FELT SUICIDAL DURING THANOS MINISERIES. He believed he would get killed at Kyln one day, and he was dragged by Kallark BY FORCE out of that hell. He wanted to die. So, that's why Peter flirted with Phyla and Gamora. Then, the flirt thing disappeared as soon as Peter deepened his friendship with both of them.
Then, Bendis comes, takes those SERIOUS Peter's flirts, and tells everybody that was the fucking proof of Peter's libidinous acts in GotG v3. GODDAMMIT, THOSE FLIRTS WERE A REFLECTION OF A DEPRESSED PETER, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! It's NOT A DAMN JOKE.
Peter is NOT A WOMANIZER. Peter dedicates his whole time to SAVE THE UNIVERSE. But it seems that male flirtatious characters sell more books than female ones. You see Gamora? She was very sexual in the previous GotG volume, BECAUSE SHE HAD NEEDS. Now see what Bendis did to her?
Okay, this post isn't about Gamora, but you guys got the message.
Peter and Jason's relationship:
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, THAT'S A TOPIC I'M GOING TO RANT SO MUCH! Who read the classic Star-Lord comics? Everybody knows about Jason, Peter's father and emperor of Spartax. His story began in Inhumans v3, where he was just a prince. Jason didn't want his father to marry the Shi'ar Empress, Lilandra, because he didn't want his people to mix with other species. Then, Ronan sent the Inhumans to kill Lilandra, and guess what? Jason was blamed for that, so his father banished him from the planet to be Star-Lord, to wander among the stars. Jason began to look for Medusa (Black Bolt's wife, he was in love with her), and instead, he found Earth. His ship (same design as Peter's Ship) crashed on Colorado Mountains. Ship died, but Jason was found by Meredith Quill and she took care of him. Jason, yes, the same racist Jason, fell in love with her. His love was so strong that he spent a whole year with her. Then, he wanted to go back to Spartax (a war was happening between his people and the Ariguans) to help his father to win, and he WANTED to take Meredith with him, but he realized she was pregnant, and it would be very selfish of him to take them to such dangerous place. So, to ease the pain of her missing him, he made her forget everything that happened, making her think that such memories were just dreams.
"Oh, wait! Why didn't he come back for her later, then?"
As soon as Jason became the Emperor, he asked his uncle Gareth to bring his wife (yes, she called Meredith his wife) and son to Spartax since he couldn't leave the planet. But, instead of bringing them to Jason, Gareth sent some mercenaries to kill both Meredith and Peter. Meredith died, but Peter managed to escape. Then, Gareth said to his nephew that Meredith had died in childbirth, their son with her. Jason, then, NEVER MARRIED and NEVER LOVED again.
Yes, THAT'S CANON. So, let's rant about HOW SON OF A BITCH BENDIS WROTE JASON.
First, his Jason never came back to Earth because he was really a jerk, making Peter hate him. WHAT. THE. FUCKING. HELL???? Bendis, didn't you read the classic stories, goddammit!? PETER LOVES HIS FATHER, and Jason GAVE UP of his Empire to travel with Peter among the stars (since then, we don't know the REAL fate of Jason). He's not an Emperor anymore, well, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT, RIGHT? Anyway, Bendis wrote a bastard Jason just to make his story "interesting" to new readers' eyes.
What about Victoria? Hahaha, man, I hate this so much. This time, Bendis isn't to blame, but Humphries. If Jason NEVER MARRIED and NEVER LOVED again, WHY THE FUCK DOES PETER HAVE A HALF-SISTER NOW? SO ALL OF A SUDDEN?
"Ah, John, but Jason could have had sex with another woman, right?"
FUCK YOU. WHAT ABOUT KIP HÖLM, PETER'S ADOPTED BROTHER? HE'S THE FUCKING EMPEROR OF SPARTOX NOW, WHY THE FUCK VICTORIA EVEN EXISTS? WHERE'S KIP, FOR FUCK'S SAKE? YOU GUYS IGNORE SO MUCH THE CANON, I'M SO FUCKING DONE WITH THIS BULLSHIT.
"But I've heard the classic stories aren't 616 canon, it's from a Reality-791"
THAT'S NOT TRUE. FUCKING MARVEL HAS ALL PETER'S STORY IN THIS PAGE, AND GUESS WHAT? CLASSIC STAR-LORD IS PART OF IT.
"But everybody can edit that page."
The only source I could find about that Reality-791 was in this site here. And it's not even official. You WON'T see any mention of that reality anywhere else, not even in Marvel's page. Also, Marvel released the classic Star-Lord stories in a new volume in July. Why would they release that material if they're not canon anymore??? And they even put in the title 'STAR-LORD: GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY', implying that THAT Star-Lord would be a member of the GotG in the future.
SO YES, Bendis and Humphries turned Jason into a fucking son of a bitch who didn't love Meredith and betrayed her with another woman. Because ALL the men, in their opinion, HAVE TO BE FUCKING WOMANIZER. FUCK YOU.
--
Anyway, I could spend the whole fucking day ranting about this GotG V3 and Legendary Star-Lord, but those are the topics that upset me most. I HAD TO RANT. There are a bunch of holes in those stories, but I hope they can explain them in the future.
"So why don't you get mad at Peter from MCU? He's a womanizer too."
It's another reality, champs. DEAL WITH IT.
So yeah, I'm done for now. If you read all of this, I do thank you for that. Just... think twice when you read GotG v3 and Legendary Star-Lord. Cheers.
Peter winced, stumbling away as he started screaming. He closed his eyes, wondering if that’s what he’d looked like. He’d hoped…he’d thought maybe this Peter was from some other universe, that the same thing hadn’t happened.
Forcing himself to pay attention again,he opened his eyes to find the other Peter on the ground. Crouching, he watched him, chest aching. “I don’t know,” he answered, honestly, voice almost shaking with his own memories. “I just…he…at the time, I think it seemed like you were the one who could make it out.”
Peter rubbed the back of his hand on his eyes to wipe the tears, blood painting his skin instead. "Richard was the Nova Prime, for flark's sake! He was one of the most powerful heroes in our universe, and the flarking jerk decided to save my life! I'm useless compared to him! The universe needs him more than me!"
He couldn't stop crying as he threw his helmet to the side. "Stupid flarking idiot..." He whispered, and looked at the other Peter with a light frown. "Do you have any idea where we are?"
"And their help indeed accepted." Kallark laughed at the mock salute and gave one back. It felt good to be silly for even a moment… seeing as his position of power gave him little to no time to relax.
"Oh, of course old friend! Rest yourself, for Kubark will surely tire you out otherwise." Kallark smiled, giving Peter a final pat on the shoulder before leaving his friend to rest. At this age, Kallark understood the importance of sleep.
Turning the corner, Kubark actually flew smack into his father, falling onto the floor. There was water spots all over his red cape, clearly having rushed through the job. Helping his son up, he gestured to keep quiet.
"But, I’ve…— you said—!!" Kubark threw his hands up to protest, feeling cheated. Kallark refrained from rolling his eyes and dragged his son along with a firm hand and kept his voice quiet.
"I know what I said and it won’t kill you to wait a few minutes for him to rest up. He’s not a Strontian, Kubark. He needs more rest than we do, and, seeing as he is both guest and friend—we will respect his needs."
Peter was already stepping inside the room, yawning lightly, when he heard Kubark coming, excited. He looked at Kallark, and then, at Kubark, feeling bad for making the kid wait more.
But Kallark was right; Peter was no Strondian, and although Spartois were very resistant too, they also needed some time to rest. Peter was just half-Spartoi, too.
"Kubark," Peter approached him with a half-smile, and placed a hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry for this, but I promise you I won't take so long to rest. Can you give me an hour?" He asked, biting his lower lip with an awkward smile.
Then, he removed his hand from Kubark's shoulder, and stepped inside the room with half-lidded eyes. Wow, he just realized he didn't sleep for three days, and his body was already begging him for some rest.
