The whole thing stinks like yesterday's garbage!
It makes for a dramatic moment and definitely helps sales now, but what do you do afterwards? No one seems to be looking at the big picture or thinking about the future.
For some time now, Marvel has just been "living in the moment". As long as sales are good, terrific. They have not been thinking about the long term consequences of their stories. I can just imagine a lot of retconning in the 2010s.
Johnny Storm is in a coma right now after being mobbed by civilians, and he never had a secret identity. How many villians are going to persue their enemies and their loved ones now that they know whose under the mask? I can just picture some of the smarter ones finding lawyers and legally go after the richer ones like Tony Stark.
You can't "put the genie back in the bottle". A few like Daredevil and Captain America would be able to assume new identites. After all, they've done it before. But can you picture Peter Parker trying to be someone else? He has enough problems trying to be himself!
Yet if Marvel tries to spring upon us some "cosmic reset" of their universe like either Doctor Strange "mind-wiping" everyone to forget the secret identites, their version of an "Infinite Crisis" or the whole storyline turns out to be a giantic "What If?" situation, then we out here in Readerland are going to scream very negatively about how irresponsible Marvel was to begin with and what sloppy storytelling their "resolution" is.

I don't think it's that bad actually. It helps set up future storylines. Now, we have two opposing sides for the super-heroes, the unmasked ones and the ones who don't want to unmask. The interactions between those who used to be friends, but now have differing ideals, help in making the whole Marvel universe a bit more intersting.

Marvel is kinda spitting in DC's face by showing new ways heros can live. Whatever bad that falls out of this "Civil War" just helps prove their metaphor. Marvel is showing how politics affect everything and everyone. In this way, they are trying to give all their heroes a more vunerable "human" side (that DC is lacking in).

Ghost Rider for the Hero because he's type of like a marvel version of Hellboy and it isn't as broadly spread as numerous different comics. eco-friendly Goblin because the Villain because he discovered Spider-guy's adjust ego and had form of a earnings over Spidy because he might want to harm human beings on the point of him.

I think it's interesting. I bummed about Spider-Man unmasking himself though. Seems like an uncharacteristic move on his part. I usually find Captain America annoying, but he's growing on me now.

Spiderman is what tripped me out...I was a little discouraged by it because he really is putting his family in jeopardy. The Mutant registration is a little over the top...I am with Captain America...secret identities is what protects them and families.

Bad idea. They need a cosmic event to reconcile their world.

I'm for it!!! I guess it's much more exciting and a little bit riskier on their part...
