End of Dark Reign *Speculation, but spoilers may come up*
I don't think any of those things were huge issues in the couple of years or so of storylines that preceded One More Day. He'd been a science teacher for a while, hadn't he?
At that point, though - when you're comparing how he exists today as compared to literally several years (real-world) - you're crossing the line into nostalgia (as opposed to just complaining about the current story).
Basically, he way he is now (post-BND) just isn't actually any more immature than he's been for at least four or five real-world years. Some of the stuff - e.g. his creepy and neurotic obsession with Ben - dates back to literally his origin.
I like Spider-Man - not the BND stuff, though, but the character in general - but I think the complaints people lob around about BND often are just misguided.
Now that we know the Siege is only 4 issues it will be interesting to see how Bendis writes it since he has fewer issues to tell the story. The 8 issue format was one of the complaints of Secret Invasion (and House of M to a lesser extent) although I still enjoyed the story. Disassembled was only 4 issues and I liked that story as well though I understand my some people dislike it.
Might as well comment on some of the crossover issues now revealed for Siege in January. I don't read Dark Wolverine in singles so I won't bother with the 3 issue tie-in of that unless it's in trade format. Won't bother with the Storming Asgard: Heroes and Villains since that free comic in December should suffice on character info. Maybe I'll get the Embedded story but I'll read some reviews first. Already get New and Dark Avengers in singles but I'll trade wait for the Initiative tie-in.
I'm assuming they'll be more Siege issues in January like Thor and Secret Warriors but maybe those might be only one or two issues each.
If Osborn and Doom are fighting in Siege, and Osborn is pursing a war against the Asgardians (who are currently living in Latveria, but may not be by the time Siege comes)...

Doom could be fighting on the side of the heroes!
Which means that by extension, Black Panther will be on the bad guys' side in Doomwar. Take that, Hudlin!
Hudlin had some role in the planning of Doom War, actually. I wouldn't be surprised if that whole racist Doom debacle was done in anticipation of the event.

You mean the heroes would be on the side of DOOM!

I see there's been a bit of speculation on the internets that Norman's ally in the shadows is
Mephisto. Sounds like a bit of anti-OMD wish fulfilment to me, personally
Has anything been made of that scene where Norman was locked away in a vault, and told Hand to go away before quietly calling her back? I missed some comics last month.

Refresh my memory, who did that to Sentry? Honestly the DA are getting spread over so many comics its hard to keep track of what happened andw hen anymore.
some people were saying that maybe he is the void right now? or something? But he hasn't been acting very void-ish, and his interactions with Osborn concerning his mental stability don't really point to any of that. But on the other hand, I don't really know what to make of the scene in X-men where Emma frees bob from that void room.
Am I missing something, maybe I didn't read an issue where it was explained, or has this particular situation not been addressed yet.

his wife. She said that Marvel Boy gave her the gun.
His wife Lindy took one of Noh-Varr's guns and shot him right in the face, melting it off. She wants him out of her life due to him being batshit crazy.
Do ya'll think they'll end the Dark Avengers after Siege? It seems like its been Marvel's most popular title this past year. I could actually see Osborn in charge of the Dark Avengers as part of the new status quo. Plus, since they're adding a new mystery member to the Cabal, I don't see it going away any time soon.

Read the original "The Sentry" in TPB. It explains the origins of the Sentry and the Void and how they're interrelated. Its a pretty good read, with some good art.
Regarding Sentry, my theory is the Void is the one who's bringing him back to life. We know both Bob and the Void are together due to what happened in Utopia so that's my best guess as to whats going on.
As for them ending Dark Avengers? I guess if Bendis can find a way to keep it around after Siege then it will continue. Can't imagine how though if Osborn is taken out. Maybe they'll cancel Thunderbolts and make Dark Avengers the official villains book?

no no no, i know his deal, I'm saying that
I've seen people saying that the sentry on the DA is actually only the Void. That the sentry part is locked away internally, rather than being the schizo he normally is.
We know that the Void is inside Sentry now and apparently is keeping him sane enough not to kill everyone but still letting him be controlled by Osborn.

Then shouldn't the Sentry have reverted to his good side when Emma Frost yanked him out of his mental dark room?
Also, since Emma has a tiny part of the Void in her, and the Sentry and Void are equal parts of the same being, does that mean that the Sentry side of Bob is now more powerful than the Void portion?
Sentry did revert to his good side during the end of Utopia. Thats why he flew away from Namor as fast as he could before the Void caught up with him again.

Yes, but shouldn't the Sentry in theory be more powerful than the Void currently since a piece of the Void is locked up in Emma?
Unless...the Void was more powerful than the Sentry all along...
Eh, I don't think the piece in Emma right now weakens the Void too much. As for the Void being more powerful than the Sentry all along, well if my theory about Sentry coming back to life is right then the Void is basically immortal.

If the piece in Emma doesn't significantly weaken the Void, then why not just let the thing go? The last thing the X-Men need is an evil presence infecting their resident telepath/mind controller.
I take that back. The X-Men usually have an insidious telepathic presence in their midst (re: Shadow King, Brood, Cassandra Nova, etc..). Now they have every thing they need to call their island home.
Back to the shadowy figure speculation, if you think about it whoever it was didn't have much of an impression on Emma or Namor as they left the Cabal without any hesitation. This makes me think that the figure was primarily used to threaten Doom which backs up the...

theory. Regarding Marvel Man, honestly, how the fuck should ANYONE in the current Marvel universe know who he is? So I'm pretty sure it's not him unless Quesada forces Bendis to use him which I don't think would happen since Quesada has a lot more to lose pissing off Bendis than JMS.

It does seem like there has been conflicting information at certain points. However, there is a Siege issue of...Dark Avengers, I think? that says "This will reveal all the information about the Sentry!" so expect to get your answer then.
Bendis still hasn't explained exactly what happened after Skrull-Vision caused the Sentry to freak out and fly into deep space in Secret Invasion #2. Maybe we'll get that answer finally.

Whoa. You're a smart guy.

Hmmmm.
Damn I hope it is true however.
Edit: WAIT A MINUTE. There is another potential character Marvel could use with those initials. And it would mean Box in a Box was right.
Please don't let this happen, God. Thanks, Hensler.
