I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Although God is Doctor Doom in Battleworld. But he has a plan! With the Thing's help, he can get The Destroyer, and not only kill Doom but take his place. Or so he tells everyone.
The Thing and his people just want The Maestro - who i can't help but think of as The Hulk - out of Dystopia. Quite frankly, if your home is named Dystopia, I'd want to keep The Maestro there and get the fuck out myself if you were, y'know, planning an escape.
Sometimes I don't get the choices people make. I'm guessing they're hoping Dystopia will eventually be Utopia (with less mutants, maybe) if they get The Maestro out?
Regardless, love despite me not understanding their thinking. It's got loads of tension and action, and one of the characters has a robot-dog that she's raised from a pup. What's not to love?
