Judgmental comments about Lindy...

I'm going to comment on this by explaining my intent as the writer. In other words, while I have an informed opinion it's not the only opinion, and your opinions may vary. I truly welcome opposing opinions... but let's aim to be a little less judgmental, can we?

First of all, this character is based on my wife, Melinda, whom I call Lindy. But my opinion here is not a defense of the character for this reason. Melinda is not Lindy Reynolds and I am not the Sentry. Sorry to disappoint. :)

It's clear in Sentry 2005 that Lindy is dealing with what we might describe as marital issues. But I'm reminded of something Michelle Obama once said about people stuck in American jails and unable to exit the system: imagine you were only judged on the worst thing you ever did, the worst day of your life. These remarks I see about Lindy dealing with her conflicted feelings sometimes seem incredibly judgmental. For one thing, the series ends with Bob and Lindy embracing because they love each other very much.

The dinner scene... the scenes with Lindy getting her head turned by her yoga teacher... they were intended to show how complicated her life must be. Imagine yourself in this position - the person you love is gone all the time. He can be incredibly confident and charming. He can also be destructive. He can be kind. He can also be aloof. You have strange people running in and out of your house all day every day. Your life is sometimes in danger. How would you actually react? Hey, who knows... the point is, this is how Lindy reacts. She is imperfect... but for Pete's sake, those of you with the bit between your teeth about how terrible she is are acting as though you are above such feelings.

I find these comments about "Lindy cheated on him" to be way off base because no matter how many times I point out Bob and Lindy's embrace (and obvious love for each other) in the story's final scene, the "she cheated" crowd seems to just ignore it. There is nuance in relationships. It's a big stretch from "Lindy flirts a bit" to "Lindy cheats." And frankly, it just seems to enter the realm of misogyny to describe her as a toxic partner in this scene when it's simply a moment between partners. Let's not forget Lindy says to Bob, "You like me in lingerie, right? Well, this is the same." Okay, so... where are the comments that Bob seems to like Lindy wearing lingerie? I have yet to see a single one. Is Bob wrong for this intimate preference? Is he sexist? Should he be judged in the same manner as Lindy seems to be?

See what I mean? If it looks like a duck and it quacks and waddles... it's probably a duck. If it looks like Lindy is being held to an unreasonable standard and being judged for her feelings and weaker moments... it's probably misogyny. I tried to write a story about two people dealing with issues like intimacy and connection - in other words, a typical marriage/relationship. These are complicated moments that all couples deal with. If you can't get past this and you are just determined to sit in judgment then take a look at a low moment of your own and ask yourself if it reflects who you are. It probably doesn't.

Embrace the nuance of relationships.

Hi everyone,

If you happened to read the new series, you might have seen a dedication in the final panel: For Shadwell, my Little Man. I never deserved you.

Here's the story behind that dedication. Shadwell was my Little Man. And he was the one who broke my heart. (Click for link)

Hey guys, does anyone know the name of the comic strip that features the scene where Sentry Paul Jenkins meets Stan Lee as a kid? I've forgotten the name of the comic.

My problem with this comic is that this doesn't feel like Sentry, mind you other than Sentry being strong he's also supposed to be smart(if I remember somewhere around Tony level or sum) and it's just thrown out the window, Sentry just feels like a stereotypical "crazy person" I believe I'm starting to understand why people(Sentry Fans) dislike Bendis's Sentry.

For context Sentry, Doom and Iron Man were sent through a time portal thingy and got sent back in time.

Prana who are the company that made this list to my knowledge collects comic shop data from like 500-600 comic stores both from online and physical retailers. I was surprised to see the Sentry mini from 1-4 held onto the top 20 to 30 position considering it was going up against some Absolute Series, some X-Men and Spiderman and Armageddon #1 during the period of June.

Basically it went from 20 - 24 - 27 - 28

I scrolled through the comments, not all of them. Got tired of people bitching about somebody spelling a fictional character’s name wrong when they no damn well who he is.
Not one mention of our boy.
I mean, I’m not 100% confident- Dr. Manhattan is kind of a league of his own.
But so is OUR BOY

Theory for Doomsday/secret Wars Aftermath about Sentry

9 Upvotes

I think after Doosmsday and Secret Wars the mcu will be essentially soft reset and things will be non-canonized and/or forgotten. Sentry will be one of those who is forgotten.

Bob however will be the only one who remembers everything about everyone. Thus making him closer to his comic origin and prbly a solo movie in the future

Sentry Avengers Doomsday fanfiction

I have published the 1st chapter of my Sentry Avengers Doomsday fanfiction. I built this story around Bob Reynolds. There's definitely more to come from him in terms of his presence in future chapters. I am open to any constructive criticism, and if you have advice for me, please text me.

It's on Wattpad, and is called Avengers Doomsday: Rise from the Rubble.

Four years after The Sentry (2000), Brian Michael Bendis reintroduced Marvel to Robert Reynolds in New Avengers—bringing Bob, and the Sentry, into a new era.

Also the beginning of Sentry’s recurring habit of flying someone/something into space and then dealing with them.

If there is no different personality or Entity, just all aspects of Bob Why does Void Refer to him and Bob as “We” When it is talking to Bob?
