Is Cyborg deserving of such hate? He never meant for this to happen. Darkseid forced all of this upon him, and it was Desaad who sent him back to Earth. Cyborg didn't know what was going to happen until it was too late. He maybe at fault as he is indirectly the cause but to hate him like as if he was Hilter is undeserving (even if it is understandable).

@nm23584 жыл бұрын
I hate them both. There's too many characters in Marvel that should end the Zombie plague. I mean, Earth literally has pantheons of reality warping gods that have Godhead meetings, Celestials and so on. DC has a lot of that too - but then also Deathstroke is able to heal out of it (so, Speedforce healing / power that lets you outrun Death < Deathstroke's healing), the Martian is somehow infected, pops up in time to infect the Flash and somehow can't infect people with telepathy and Superman shrugs off Kryptonite Magic Sword cutting his arm off and impaling him - with no sign of being weakened at all as he plows his fist into his opponent holding that sword. Then the core shows up, does nothing and apparently can't pursue Superman into the sun despite all the magic green space rings that can make planet sized constructs. For continuity buffs, both these events are just annoying. Franklin Richards got eaten by a Zombie She Hulk somehow. Galactus became flesh and blood and the Hulk also somehow bites the Silver Surfer's head off despite a million comics where the Hulk can't even hurt Norrin 99% of the time...

38:45 to be perfectly honest, the worst thing that has happened to Wonder Woman in recent years is giving her that damn sword. the whole point of the character is that she utilized less violent means to solve her problems because she came from an idyllic paradise and was teaching Man's World a better way to resolve conflict. A lot of people seem to have missed the point. Also, I'm getting shades of Taylor's New52 Earth 2 run.
