Knight Wolf Plays "Oh, I'll buy your books...just not your event books. =D Let me know when the next issue of Ms. Marvel, Gwenpool, and whoever wrote Hercules, and All New Inhumans is up next. I'll be at the booth next door with Image comics, and Valiant." =D
They lost me a couple of years back, and it's going to take a huge change of direction (and mass firing of their SJW writers) to win me back again. They deserve this. They did it to themselves.
Yeah, he put plenty of nods to his Islamist friends in his panels, but people on the Internet noticed (the editors didn't) and he was sacked. That's what you get when you live in a liberal bubble where all Muslims are 'moderate' and there's no problem with an ideology that is massively intolerant to just about everybody on the planet. Libs and Islam have a very dangerous partnership, and what happened in that comic book offers a wider window into the immigration problems that are wrecking Europe right now.
there's free sites to view comics, so paperback isn't much of the way to go. Digital is good as a collection at a massive discount, but not viable as before.
She did, and promptly threw out the comics, which is something she has never done before. If you like the storyline, that's fine and your opinion. It does not however, make others opinions invalid because you like it.
hybredmoon to be honest I never believed Anita was a true SJW, but a con artist playing off their idiocy. Doesn't make what she's done over the years any better because at the end of the day she was just feeding the beast.
If they want more LGBT characters they should just write new ones, nobody wants to see existing characters be changed just because they're the wrong sex or colour. And characters can't just be their identity, (outside Tumblr) that's not how real people work.
Wokewell Dankington IMO, I can see real people becoming gay and vice versa. That sounds like a good idea to do, a character exploring their sexuality (or even asexuality, the lack of interest in either sex), that's something for me to read, ONLY if its written well though. If a character turns gay because it only meets the diversity quota, you bet your ass I'm not giving it a second chance, writing like that says a lot about the writing in said product in general, lazy and lame.
They changed them because they knew that NEW characters would be subbed by loyal Marvel fans outright. THAT's why all of these new characters they have made were introduced as "NOT-Sidekick" Side-kicks that could benefit from being woven into the story of the proven hero's snubb free. But REIII! REIIII! Williams will never be Iron Man, So there. Jane Foster...See? They hijacked Mjolnir from Thor so that they could reinvent it without having people snubb Jane, and THEREFORE Thor. It's not working for them is it?
the dude is being robbed of everything he has at the moment, the guy even lost his protection from the state. heck. even his own DAUGHTER is treating him like a cash generator. the last line he said about he feels is that he wishes to lay down and die.
For as much as i loved marvel back in my youth, it is nice to see it twitching like a fish out of water. It is actually refreshing to see people push back and not swallow all the political garbage being paddled in all our beloved forms of entertainment. ESPN is circling the drain, the even the NFL is suffering, so believe me that not all sports fans are brainless morons. Great rant my brother, and keep them coming. 👍👍👍
I'll never understand how writers can't comprehend that readers like an original story, that doesn't guilt trip the reader into social justice. Female thor for example (Jane Foster) has the background of an original character, but nope she became a female Thor, I mean any originality the superheroine could have had was shot, and it's sad to think that marvels excuse is " Evil woman haters".
As far as Cap going Nazi, Cap was my Fathers favorite superhero. Cap was always fighting with X-23 for number 2 (nobody can overtake Wolverine) but i do like X-23 I could relate because a lot of her original stories were about her handling depression, but i digress. I joined the military right out of high school. I love this country. I love Cornball ass heros and Captain America defined what "Hero" meant, he was what we all aspire to. He did what was right BECAUSE it was right, and when he won he did so with his morals intact. And now he's Nazi. Me and my Father are Jewish, it's an open handed slap to the face. My dad being older and more removed from getting offended simply suggested that Disney must not be as far removed from their founder as they would like the public to be. Personally i will never forgive them for what they did. You cant fix that, and you cant obtain my readership agaim either.
Not to mention it’s not even an original plot. Cap was brainwashed by Red Skull and the actual Nazis of WWII for an issue back in the 60s, and sent to kill someone...drawing a blank on who though. However, we knew Cap was brainwashed, and we got to see Bucky struggle to try and get his friend back. And of course, Cap broke free of the brainwashing himself. So not only is Marvel full of pandering SJW crap, they’re taking preexisting stories but adding a crap spin to it.
The funny part is that the SJWs hate Nazis. Really hate them. Because Communists cannot like Nazis. And SJWs are communists. I guess they want to equate America with Nazis. Which they are. America is predominately white, after all, and has never had a female president. That makes them Übernazis at least.
Zack Kerber, completely agree. That's just evil. As a Russian whose great-grandpa dies in Great Patriotic War and whose grandma's childhood took place during this period, even more.
I'm in a Marvel fan group on facebook and I got into an argument with some dipshit a couple weeks ago who was trying to defend Cap's heel turn. All his arguments basically boiled down to "The White Man has had plenty of heroes, now it's time to take them away." I fucking miss the 80s...
I was kicked off a comic book Facebook group for questioning why Marvel is changing the race and sex of their characters. Someone commented, "Not this again." Suddenly I couldn't post and I was kicked from the group. The Left are purely Fascist, they silence all opposing views.
Not satisfied with having had several characters already made to order for their representation, the Left today has gone so far as to take the "White Man's" heroes away. No wonder why people are dropping the publisher's books!
The crazy thing is Marvel has a vault full of non-white characters from all the older comic series. Look how well received Black Panther and Luke Cage was when they brought those two black characters back. So if they want more "diversity" Marvel can easily pull from a line-up of well-established minority/women characters to reintroduce to a new generation of comic fans without changing white characters to non-white or a male to female characters.
Reality's Frank well you know that's what Martin Luther King jr. died for. so that oppressed upper-middle-class minorities could rise up and divest oppressive nerd shitlords of their superhero comic book privilege.
Leonardo Amador I'm pretty sure it's Disney that killing Marvel. Look at Star Wars and their obsession with female leads: Force Awakens lead: Rey Rouge One lead: Jinn Battlefront II: female storm trooper commando... They have three opportunities to create new storylines and all the leads are females. I didn't have a problem in the beginning but now it's just suspicious... Too bad cuz I loved Star Wars but since Disney ruined it it even made me start to hate marvel.
Disney is the problem. They are cancerous globalist. Stop giving Disney money. I knew it was gonna be shit when they bought Marvel. I stop stop paying for anything that involves Disney.
Even though Marvel is beating DC in live action movies, I've realized that DC is beating Marvel in everything else. DC has great animated movies and TV shows, DC is doing very well in live action television, and as far as I know DC is doing very well in their comics. Now why Marvel isn't doing well in TV or animation I couldn't say, but now I understand why their comics are failing. I really am sick of politics, especially leftist politics, ruining entertainment just to force political ideas down our throats. The only comics I collect right now from Marvel are Star Wars comics, and I've been wondering if I should start picking up any other series. Now I have my answer.
Most Marvel comics have been garbage for years. There's no focus on quality stories, just desperate attempts to get readers attention with shock marketing. The whole Nazi Cap is the straw that broke the camel's back with many fans, along with the dysfunctional diversity agenda. Captain America as a Nazi is really a slap in the face to Jack Kirby and Stan Lee.
You cater to the 10% of the readers, you make 10% of the money. Their fault for alienating the majority of the fans, which is the core of their profits.
Amadaeus Cho was actually a really good supporting character, he really didn't need to become the Hulk to be interesting, plus making more Hulks has really watered down Hulks uniqueness over the years.
Especially not to a bunch of penniless losers who never intend to buy your crap, anyway. That's not a scumbag move, but an absolutely idiotic scumbag move.
Marvel's main problem isn't pushing social commentary, it has done so during its entire history. The main problem is that they have become so lazy about it. Instead of using subtlety they beat people over the head with it. Instead of creating new minority characters and spending years building up their rapport with fans like with Storm, Blade, Black Panther and Luke Cage they instead co-opt established big name characters and race/gender/religion swap em. This is where they are really mucking it up, people don't just overnight take to new characters, so while in the past they could introduce new characters and it not hurt business that is because they had their established big name hitters to carry the sales as the new upstarts slowly become profitable. But now they have gutted their big names and are suddenly surprised that the sales are slumping. Then there is the message itself, people can get behind the X-Men series being an allogory for the oppressed, they can talk about stories of mutants being chased down and beaten to death for being different. It's because the story was told from a place of genuineness and always the characters seemed honest and humble. Now that has changed with characters seeming didactic or smug and the stories involved are very poorly written.
The love of God and country are the core values of Captain America. Cap's patriotic idealism is not extended by only that of the uniform he wears, but by his very heart & soul. In essence, Captain America is to Marvel what Superman is to DC. As with Superman, Cap represents the iconic tagline; "truth, justice, & the American way". In the ill-fated "Superman Returns" film, by Brian Singer, Perry White repeats that immortal tagline, out of context, by saying, "Truth, justice & "ALLTHAT STUFF". One tends to forget that these wonderful and immortal characters were creations of writers and artists who never took America for granted. The term; "PATRIOTISM" wasn't simply an empty word, but rather a beloved ideal related to a country which bred, first & foremost, individual freedoms to those blessed by living here in The United States. During WW2, men simply didn't choose to fight & die for their Government, but rather to keep America a safe & free nation for their families, and future generations. These mythological superheroes, such as Captain America, were created, first and foremost, for that reason alone. So for Marvel Comics to intentionally have Captain America join a fascist organization (*even if it is a fictional one*) like HYDRA, is nothing more than a slap in the face to Cap's creators, the readers, and the character itself. I've often defended this character by reminding people that his name isn't Captain North Korea. Nor is it Captain Russia. And no, it certainly isn't Captain Iran. His name is, now and forever, "CAPTAIN AMERICA". And this is the name which Cap's creators, Joe Simon & Jack Kirby (*may they both R.I.P.*), intended for him to be. Captain America is called "The Sentinel of Liberty" for good reason. And in my opinion he forever shall be. God Bless.
At this point I'm totally fine with Marvel shutting down their comic department. As an alienated fan,I have certain criteria that must be met before I even consider touching another Marvel book. So far the movies are killing it. But if they infest those with their All New All Different All Agenda All Pandering ideals then I won't be watching. And by the way, don't trust thir Legacy ida either. It won't last long.
The only movie I really liked was the first Iron Man movie. The first Avengers movie was fun to watch but very stupid. The rest of the movies have been either boring or insultingly stupid.
Michael MacLeod Too late in regard to your statement "so far the movies are killings it, but if they infest those with their [agenda]..." Did you see the steaming s--t pile called Spider-Man Homecoming? SJW written all over it.
It’s coming buddy...Marvel phase 3 is going to be SJW Propaganda garbage just like Disney did with Star Wars. I hope to God not...but it’s written on the walls already.
I think one of the problems with diverse Marvel is that they're replacing existing characters. These new characters would be much better recieved if they were their own characters. When Storm became leader of the X-Men she didnt go for a blue look, shoot lightning from a visor and call herself She-Cyclops.
my favorite was the X-MEN, and marvel ruined them. Cyclops is the mutant Hitler and he didn't do anything, now he's dead. Before Wolverine died marvel made him a coward, running away from fights. Now I really enjoyed X-23 stories and I'm not mad she's Wolverine, when Batman went away other people took his place as Batman until he showed back up.
No One I hate it when heroes take the place of other heroes. To be a hero you don't have to dress exactly like the former hero. I wish these characters would would just develop into their own.
I went to my comic book store on May 16th to get the release of Dragon Age: Knight Errant, and the comic book guy said he would throw in a free comic with my purchase. It was a Marvel comic with Captain America, Thor, and some of the other Avengers. I told him he could keep it, and I told him why. He shook his head and agreed with my reasoning. He also knows that Marvel is getting too political and too SJW. They can't even give Marvel comics away.
Super Saiyan Goddess treating him right would involve letting him grow up (which they won't do, thinking that his appeal is souly from him being a younger character) and actually learn responsibility instead of just saying his power & responsibility quote while doing the opposite
+HeadBangerAust His best comics are still the ones where he's in high school and college days. It has nothing to do with him not growing up it just seems like they're tired of the character and they're trying to push him out to replicate his popularity with other charecters. They keep desperately trying to push Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen but Peter still obliterates both of them combined in sales pretty consistently.
IMO, they should honestly kill him off or have him retire. You want a younger, witty appeal character swinging around? Two options Marvel: 1. Go the old DC route and do a proper reboot. And I mean REBOOT. You start ALL OVER. You don't pull a New 52, you start from the very beginning. Peter being bit, Hulk gaining his powers, Iron Man making his armor and escaping captivity, all that jazz. There, now you have Spider-Man back to drag out for 10-20 years. 2. The more mature route. You retire Peter...and make Miles the new Spider-Man. He's hella popular, appearing on Ultimate and in the new upcoming XD series. You have HIM be the one to put down Cap like in the all the visions(this would make Civil War II have at least some reason for existing) and become the main Spidey by saving the world. Peter retires after this stupid Goblin War thing and Miles becomes the world's only Spider-Man. Or you can keep dragging Peter down. That's nice too.
Super Saiyan Goddess don't entirely agree because Kraven's Last Hunt and the original symbiote costume/Venom arc were after college and both were awesome, but just examples. I'm not a fan of Miles Morales in particular because people act as if he is the only Ultimate Spider-Man, despite being the 2nd and coming out after Brian Michael Bendis stopped caring, but I at least understand why people like him. no idea why people go nuts for Gwen Stacy characters, she wasn't that interesting in the silver age, my theory is because of Emma Stone playing her in the last 2 flicks. gwenpool has no good reason to exist
You nailed this… The political bullshit completely turned me off. I read comics to escape the everyday bull crap of societies failures and my escape started bashing me because of my political views. This couldn’t be any sweeter justice for me. I believe in capitalism and this only goes to show how well it works. As for Captain America. It’s freaking Captain AMERICA.. When you rip apart the character that completely represents the most amazing country on earth, what do you freaking expect..!!! Instead of creating new characters, God forbid, SJW’s have to take over ours. Iron man = Turned into a Woman Thor = Turned into a Woman Wolverine = Turned into a Woman Ice Man = Turned Gay And it continues on and on instead of celebrating the characters already made. Seriously, I want to Wolverine slice someone’s head off because they spilled his beer. I could care less that they now feel the need to show women can be just as bad ass. They’re called names like Rogue and Storm. If you want to make a superhero or villain a female, gay, or what the hell ever, then create one and leave the originals alone. It’s really that simple. Simply ask yourself this. They changed Nick Fury into a black man. Fine, I can live with it. But what would happen if Black Panther or Storm was casted and changed in comics into white person? Yea, you know the answer and that's the definition of hypocrisy. Oh well, I’ll step off my soap box now. They’re not getting my money anymore so that’s my justice. It was good while it lasted..
But that is what those marxists, postmodernists lunatics do. In order to push their agenda, they first need to destroy everything in their path. It's the bitterness and resentment ot the core that drives them - and they want everyone to suffer as much as they do while obviously ignoring that other people do in fact suffer in their own unqiue ways. Psychological projection and a lack of compassion.
New Marvel is laughably bad. Between those jokes for comics and the 2 hour advertisements they call "movies" they've done nothing but make me tired of them and miss the early 2000's era of Marvel when they actually cared.
The movies are actually good though. Civil War, Strange, Guardians. All enjoyable as a motherfucker. Also you can said you can't explain it too well i;'m not(and neither should anybody) take you serious in that aspect. The comics though, it's just bad.
MCU has been making the best movies coming to theaters since the first Iron man. Fox has had alot of trash movies and Sony's Amazing Spider-Man movies were pretty bad too. But MCU definitely are making nothing but quality movies that are fun and well put together.
this is why bro I love DC'S books. Rebirth listened to fans. Also your right, all the fucking political and anti trump bullshit in the fucking comics. DC is kicking ass with Superman and there other titles. When the turned Captain America into a fucking Nazi and Thor into a woman, hulk asian, and the other shit. Forcing this shit down people's thoughts and being a comic book writer for the last 20 years people are not going to read any more political point bullshit.
I think the basic issue at hand: Marvel failed to understand what a comic book character means to the reader. Each character has a rich history, and the reader shares in that history. The reader bonds with the character, and likes each character for his or her flaws. So, the reader expects the character to grows with the reader. Watching that character die a horrible death, for some silly reason, with callous editors pushing the stories, means most readers revolt and now Marvel suffers for it.
I think secret empire was marvels plan to finally get rid of the "cis white male" captain America since they got a black guy as the new cap now but with how vocal the true fans of marvel comics have been, I think their plans have drastically changed. Im pretty mad that marvel thinks sjw views sell, The first ironman movie got me into the ironman comics but after they killed Tony off just so they could replace him with a mary sue black teen girl was the point where I stopped supporting anything marvel.
Marvel comics these days, and Hollywood in general has no idea what they are doing. They are bereft of Ideas, and they are only about SJW politics. Their Parent company is obsessed with that, and turned Star Wars into an SJW cluster F#$% Fest! I have more creativity and stories in my pinky then anyone of the writers over at Marvel comics.. Want Proof? I can best any of the Marvel crew. Just google Star Superion! I'm the writer and creator. I earned the name Atum Mirabilis, greek and Egyptian as my title. Creator-Magnificent. If Marvel and Disney were to Dump Joe Quesada, and their shitty writers and dorky shabby anime artists.. I could rebuild Marvel into a successful franchise. But alas, I will continue to make my art, work to get my books published under the Capital Comics logo, and show these no-talent HACKS how it is done!!!
Nathan Semmens Check out the Transformers comics from IDW. great series with tons of variety. You want to read about Transformers traveling in space? Read MTMTE and the current series Lost Light. Want to see Transformers living on Cybertron? Read ExRiD Season 1/ and the current series Till All Are One. Want to see the Transformers on Earth? Read ExRiD Season 2/ and the current series Transformers: Optimus Prime. The IDWverse is rich with lore, even incorporating Transformers marriage, sounds dumb at first but it's handled very well and makes the characters more relatable. Also, Megatron is trying to find redemption, that story is also great. Lots of great art, MTMTE has the best art in Transformers comics ever.
Andoc I heard about the male and female ghostbusters crossover and I was turned off. That's why I'm only excited for Jurassic World comics by IDW cause their based on my favourite movie of 2015
...There's going to be a Jurassic World comic line.......... don't lie to me about this! I love Jurassic Park this is seriously the first I've ever heard about this
Thats probably because X-23 was an existing character that they built up and developed for over a decade, where as all the other characters were just thrown in as SJW clones of the original characters. Kind of ironic actually, X-23 is the only clone in the bunch but she is the one who feels most like a real character.
And a lifelong Marvel fan, I stopped buying comics a few years ago. I do buy the Hardcover Omnibus' and Marvel Masterworks, but I won't buy any take place after the last Secret Wars. To me, that is when Marvel really ended.
As a liberal, I cannot stand these new writers (and Spencer for he is the worst) and their hamfisted politics. No one wants to be preached at in a medium that is mainly popular for its escapism! It would not even be this bad if half of the new characters were even good. They had to give Jane cancer to make her interesting and it has not worked, Kamala went from an interesting character to a teen book dealing with INTERNET TROLLS and politics, Cho as Hulk has been boring, Sam as Nova was fun (but Nova has never been popular and that doomed the book from the start), Miles is just boring without him being in the Ultimate Universe, Vision's daughter turned off her emotions so now she is literally an emotionless robot and that is completely boring, Sam as Cap. could have been good in Spencer had any talent as a writer (but he doesn't so the book sucks), and Riri...oh god...is absolutely terrible and everything she does is the best thing ever! She beat the Techno Golem in one issue where Tony (one of the smartest men alive and Iron Man) and Rhodey (a trained soldier) could not beat her. Not to mention she has had to deal with zero ramifications for stealing from MIT and running from the cops. God Bendis has lost his touch. I hate most of what Marvel has done the past few years with the X-Men being what put me over the edge. Killing off Logan (he was finally having a good life at the school and with my girl Ororo), turning Scott into a poor man's Magneto (and then killing him off), activily trying to kill off the mutants to push the Inhumans (which has not worked at all), turning Bobby gay for no reason (why not just bring back Northstar if Bendis wanted a gay X-Man?), everything Bendis did with the X-Men, and now even with the current books with the racist artist on Gold (glad his ass is gone), Blue being shit because the time displaced team is terrible and have no reason to still be here, Bobby's first solo book is going to be about him being gay rather than anything to do with him being a superhero, the Jean book looking dull, and I honestly could go on. At least Weapon X's first issue was good and I have hope for Astonishing, but Marvel has killed most of my interest in their universe. At least DC apologized for DC You and the bad parts of the New 52 (there were a lot of books I enjoyed from the new 52, but god there was a lot of bad too) and turned the ship around with Rebirth (which has been kicking Marvel's ass). If Marvel wants to do a diverse character right, then they need to look at Jessica Cruz over at DC. A Latina, who has crippling anxiety, got the Power Ring from Earth 3 and nearly went crazy as a result. The Justice League took her in to try and train her and help her. She eventually defeated the ring and sacrificed her own life to save the League. She was brought back to life and rewarded as a Green Lantern. She is now in her own book with Simon Bazz, and just recently learned how to make her own constructs. She still has a lot to learn, but you can actually see the character growth happening and has actual flaws that make the character far better than little miss perfect Riri.
Great video. Question for you, Jeff. In your opinion what bothers you more, the current state of Star Wars or comics? If you had to choose which one could you possibly live without because as you've stated many times this political agenda age is going to be the end of just about everything that was once good. ✌️️
@falleangel2100 Miles actually isn't a bad character. He respects the sacrifice Peter Parker made, and his comic book isn't as hamfisted with PC bullshit as, I don't know, female Thor or Captain Marvel or Spider-woman, etc
It might help if they lowered their prices. $4.00 is a ridiculous price to pay for a single issue every month. A lot of teenagers can't afford to subscribe to very many titles at those prices. Also, in trying to monopolize distribution, by taking them off of shelves and racks in grocery stores and drug stores, they're insuring that children who don't live within walking distance of a comic book store, aren't going to get into comics on their own. And they wonder why it's so hard for them to get (and keep) new readers.
This is the kind of fuckery that made me abandon Marvel and DC a long time ago: bad writing, inconsistencies, preachiness, etc. It seemed the art was getting really good, but the better the art got, the worse the stories got. I turned to indies and foreign titles and never looked back. I've enjoyed the movies, but they're starting to go south. I need look no further than the entire X-Men movie franchise and the complete mess it became. It had such a huge potential. They could have done so much good with it. They had the talent, the technology, the time...but they ended up doing...what they did.
That's what everyone seems to be saying, that DC is better these days. I wouldn't really know, the last regular title I followed from DC was "The New Teen Titans" back in the late 80's until I got fed up with the soap opera it had become. I really liked "Preacher" and "Transmetropolitan" but they had to separate that stuff from their regular line onto Vertigo to keep their regular shit from being infected by the badassery of those titles, lol! So yeah, it's been awhile since I've followed anything from them. So it was Fox in charge of X-Men? That explains a lot. They're the same ones who cancel a popular TV series the instant it drops one fraction of a point in ratings. I guess I'll have to be content with the small part Colossus played in Deadpool. To me, it's the best representation of the classic comic character so far.
Pretty concise and constructive for an unscripted piece. I'd like to hear your thoughts on Superior spiderman and if it contrasts with your opinion of current spiderman, I honestly liked the idea and thought it was a pretty bold direction to take with the series; I loved how it came full circle with Peter being the superior spiderman. I also found Octavius's character struggles to be very endearing, more so when Octavius is emulating the feeling of admiration and idolising peter not unlike how we ourselves as fans look up to our heroes and apply their ideals into our basic outlook. New writers now using superheroes as a platform to push an agenda and force it into relevancy is fucking disgusting, more so when they are literally killing off characters and wearing the mask of their ideals and what they represented to push a new standard. That's really what I liked about Miles and Otto, they were literally fans like you and I trying to do good by Peters name, these writers however don't even seem like fans anymore...
This was awesome and right on the money Jeff - Well done brother! As a 23 year comic professional who has worked for Marvel and DC both Ive never seen Marvel this bad since they went Bankrupt back in the 90s. Keep up the fight!
Really, the thing that's killed Marvel Comics purchases for me is not just the SJW/Leftist agendas that permeate and litter virtually every issue churned out since 2010. It's not the overhauling of characters, which to me is just garbage. It's that the ONE groiup of titles that literally turned me into a Marvel fan, the X-Men, have been completely shit on for the better part of ten years. Yes, I get the reasons for, mostly cause of the who'e 'film rights issues', but goddammit man! X-Men were one of the cornerstones of the damn publisher and for them to do what they've done just pushes away long time fans.
Years ago, Cecilia Reyes was introduced to the X-Men. She was a woman, she was black, she was Puerto Rican, she was a reluctant mutant hero. And she was strong. And yet I do not remember thinking Marvel had introduced her just to have a black, Puerto Rican, female hero. She did mention the fact that she faced discrimination. She worked in a field full of white, male doctors. But did she spend all her time complaining about this fact? No. She mentioned it in passing to explain the situation to someone when her status as a mutant made her lose her job , but then she spent all her time being a doctor (and a reluctant hero). She let her actions speak for her. She did not do these things for anyone else. She did not do them to further any feminist agenda. She did them because she was a great doctor who wants to do a good job. If writers today knew how to create characters (of any gender, race and nationality) that spent their time being strong (even though they have their weaknesses) and not only talking about how strong they are, people would enjoy them and receive them well.
why is marvel complaining? They have their movies, that's their bread and butter now. which I don't watch either. ever since spiderman 3, I stopped watching marvel films.
I atcually like the idea of a new generation of comic heroes and series, even ones based off the original characters. But make them interesting and compelling stories that distinguish themselves from the original while still respecting where they came from, not political agenda billboards.
I would have ditched Nintendo if they went down this SJW path, hell now that the Nintendo Switch is region free, I would be better off importing games from Japan instead of suffering what Nintendo of America's Treehouse localisation team dished up. I feel that Disney needs to push all SJWs out of Marvel, unless if it was current Disney's fault for putting them in the first place. I would hate to see Disney Movies go down this SJW path and it is scary that some actors and actresses hired by Disney even have some of these SJW views.
Nintendo will not allow this cancer to affect this. Even if Reggie himself has to do damage control because his guys were idiots, they will not allow it. Even if *Shiggy* has to get involved, it will be crushed. So many SJWs wanted Link to be female or have the option to be female in BotW, but Nintendo said "Link is a character, not your avatar. Screw off."
Steven Velasco i know this is a very late comment but i must reassure you, i never read marvel but i saw almost all of their movies, but after knowing what i know now especially thanks to diversity & comincs and other youtuber like him i decided to nevergo watch their film ever again if not on the internet in ways cough cough you know... i know i'm just one man but still i don't want to support a shitty political indoctrinaction company
During free comic book day. They gave away a secret empire book. I went back to my local comic shop today, and their are still stacks of that book sitting their (over 75 copies). Even if you give that shit away for free people won't take it.
I don't read comics at all but I'm plenty familiar with SJW's and based on what I've seen coming out of Marvel comics as explained by the actual comic fans I can safely say I wouldn't buy that junk either.
Marvel is currently the new 52 but i'm pretty confident that they will do a turn around just like dc did... Lot of the current marvel titles are actually pretty good imo.... I've heard that secret empire was actually pretty good.
The no 52 was more like the Ultimate Universe. Just dumb ideas for the sake of trying something new. Current Marvel is just rehashing basic ideas over and over.
Yes, Spiderman is not the spidey i loved to see and read and everything. For me the the Spidey era ended when Spectacular Spiderman did (animated series)
I agree 100%. It blows my mind that there are those who argue there is no political agenda including Marvel itself. All you have to do is take 20 minutes and read Nick Spencer's Twitter. He point blank says he is doing it for political reasons. (By the way my favorite response to Nick Spencer was Ed Brubaker's Tweet. Classic.) I am a Captain America fan. He is my favorite and I collect comics about him. There has not been a bigger slap in the face then this Nick Spencer Hydra Cap as a Cap fan. And it isn't even well written. I have read bits and pieces online because I refuse to spend money on trash. And it is as bad as people say. It's for a political agenda and it craps on who Steve Rogers is and fans, many of whom aren't even that political, who love Captain America.
Comics, or any fantasy media, shouldn't be based in any one political ideology. Certain characters can be shown to think a certain way, but the overall story should be unbiased as a whole. It's ok to acknowledge political veiws, but if you hold to one or the other, you alienate one side or the other.
If Marvel continues this shit the comic books will die. Thank DC some comics are worth buying, they are doing what they should do. I'm a Marvel fan but if they kill the comics by hiring the sjws as writers then bye bye.
I hope Linkara reviews this comic someday. Also, The 'Amazing Spider-Man' movies, and the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' cartoon shit on that character just as much as 'One More Day' shit on the character.
I also agree (sorry I keep posting) on the diversity thing you pointed out. I feel like they (the writers) are coming from a place of narcissism. They need to make the characters the character first, and their race/gender/religion second, if even that. But these days they shove the secondary thing in our face. They are so self-absorbed they can't stand the idea of relating to a character that isn't 100% like them.
in 2004 I was talking with my local comic store owner. He made a profound statement to me, he said Marvel Comics are in trouble due to the fact that they no longer care about the comics. At this point in time he was told by a Marvel Rep that "their emphasis was not on the comics but on the movies." I think that Marvel is now dealing with the ramifications of this business model. The reader is the core of the MCU
Guess I did dodge a bullet when I decided to stop reading Marvel once the Heroic Age was over. Marvel and Disney, especially Marvel are to blame for this travesty.
I love the X-Men. I've had to watch as marvel has crapped on them for years now. It's sucked. Reeree could have been cool if she were sort of an apprentice who seeks her own path she could have been interesting. The rest of the legacy character can just fade from existing because their timeline was destroyed or whatever. Honestly I don't care how you get rid of them just get rid of them. Maybe have them all riding a bus then the bus crashes or something, I'd be ok with that. As for secret empire- it was given away as a free comic on free comic book day- I could pick it up. IT WAS FREE, and I couldn't bring myself to pick up a free comic. Cap is best when he's conflicted with the modern world and the motives of it. He is not a hydra sleeper!
As a comic-book fan and a football fan, I'd like to say "Come on, man." Comics & football are two things my dad and I can spend hours talking about. That said, I completely agree with your assessment on Marvel. Jason Aarons ruined Thor for me (my favorite) when he made him "unworthy" and I never picked up an issue with the female Thor. Of course, Aarons called all the Thor fans misogynists for not supporting the book anymore. I think early on, Disney was giving Marvel tons of money to go out and push "diversity" and political agendas, never thinking that it would backfire on them.
Book sales are never going to climb to the levels of the past. Movies are working out well for Marvel, I hear good things about the Netflix series they produce and i have long thought they should produce animated movies like DC does. DISNEY owns Marvel. DISNEY. HOW are they NOT producing animated movies?
I'm with you on this. I too am happy Marvel comics is failing. I grew up reading Thor, Avengers, and Captain America. Those 3 were the comics I bought every single month out of my allowance, so what Marvel has done to my childhood favorites angers me. I don't really care if they end up wiping away all the stupidity and resetting their universe. They cared so little about Captain America and Thor that they were willing to completely rewrite/destroy them to suit their SJW agenda, so I'm done with Marvel.
Just as with politics, if there are no consequences to bad actions, those bad actions will continue. It's good to see that Marvel, as custodians of part of America's cultural heritage, our popular mythology, are now paying for their disrespectful treatment of it. ='[.]'=
Marvel and dc sales aren't that far apart... Marvel's sales aren't as good as they used to be but they are still neck and neck with DC. Marvel used to almost always be on top. They both still have most of the comic book market.
marvel looks up : please save use buy our books
I look down and say : No
iconic you used a line from a DC comic ;)
Glad you liked it
*"And I'll whisper....No." Rorschach from the Watchmen
James Rolfe correct tho I forgot the whisper part
Knight Wolf Plays "Oh, I'll buy your books...just not your event books. =D Let me know when the next issue of Ms. Marvel, Gwenpool, and whoever wrote Hercules, and All New Inhumans is up next. I'll be at the booth next door with Image comics, and Valiant." =D
They lost me a couple of years back, and it's going to take a huge change of direction (and mass firing of their SJW writers) to win me back again. They deserve this. They did it to themselves.
but they wont do it cause disney dumb ass agendas being pushed
Sales will decline to such an extent that eventually they will be forced to change. It's going to happen, that's the power of the market.
Rorshach1004
completely agree I won't touch another Marvel book until that SJW infestation that is current Marvel is removed.
That's the way to beat them.
Yeah, he put plenty of nods to his Islamist friends in his panels, but people on the Internet noticed (the editors didn't) and he was sacked. That's what you get when you live in a liberal bubble where all Muslims are 'moderate' and there's no problem with an ideology that is massively intolerant to just about everybody on the planet. Libs and Islam have a very dangerous partnership, and what happened in that comic book offers a wider window into the immigration problems that are wrecking Europe right now.
"You used to be the House of Ideas.
Now you're just the House of Ideology."
Good line. Sums it up rather well.
Captain America is my sister's favorite super hero. This infuriated her. She has no interest in buying any of Marvel comics ever again.
reirei121 Wow. That's a real shame. Marvel fucked up big.
there's free sites to view comics, so paperback isn't much of the way to go. Digital is good as a collection at a massive discount, but not viable as before.
That's how i felt after they replaced Thor and especially Hulk. I can't stand Amadeus and gender neutral She-Hulk.
reirei121 Captain America has always been my favorite hero, and I love this storyline. My bet would be your sister hasn't actually read any of it.
She did, and promptly threw out the comics, which is something she has never done before. If you like the storyline, that's fine and your opinion. It does not however, make others opinions invalid because you like it.
I'll never buy another Marvel comic unless they print a full cover of Tony Stark Curb stomping Anita Suckeesian.
hybredmoon to be honest I never believed Anita was a true SJW, but a con artist playing off their idiocy. Doesn't make what she's done over the years any better because at the end of the day she was just feeding the beast.
is that a Gogo avatar? :3
HELL YEA!
HA! I knew it! :D
My favorite web comic!
If they want more LGBT characters they should just write new ones, nobody wants to see existing characters be changed just because they're the wrong sex or colour. And characters can't just be their identity, (outside Tumblr) that's not how real people work.
Wokewell Dankington IMO, I can see real people becoming gay and vice versa. That sounds like a good idea to do, a character exploring their sexuality (or even asexuality, the lack of interest in either sex), that's something for me to read, ONLY if its written well though. If a character turns gay because it only meets the diversity quota, you bet your ass I'm not giving it a second chance, writing like that says a lot about the writing in said product in general, lazy and lame.
They changed them because they knew that NEW characters would be subbed by loyal Marvel fans outright. THAT's why all of these new characters they have made were introduced as "NOT-Sidekick" Side-kicks that could benefit from being woven into the story of the proven hero's snubb free. But REIII! REIIII! Williams will never be Iron Man, So there. Jane Foster...See? They hijacked Mjolnir from Thor so that they could reinvent it without having people snubb Jane, and THEREFORE Thor. It's not working for them is it?
Maybe Stan Lee will do a cameo at the unemployment line.
With the royalty he makes? Shit.
After all the artists he fucked over I can only dream.
if he really cares bout the heroes he help create and created a broken heart is goin to kill him but if it hasnt happened yet idk...
the dude is being robbed of everything he has at the moment, the guy even lost his protection from the state. heck. even his own DAUGHTER is treating him like a cash generator. the last line he said about he feels is that he wishes to lay down and die.
For as much as i loved marvel back in my youth, it is nice to see it twitching like a fish out of water. It is actually refreshing to see people push back and not swallow all the political garbage being paddled in all our beloved forms of entertainment. ESPN is circling the drain, the even the NFL is suffering, so believe me that not all sports fans are brainless morons. Great rant my brother, and keep them coming. 👍👍👍
Anthony Perez Amen dude, I feel the same
Amen!!!
why is the NFL is suffering?
I'll never understand how writers can't comprehend that readers like an original story, that doesn't guilt trip the reader into social justice. Female thor for example (Jane Foster) has the background of an original character, but nope she became a female Thor, I mean any originality the superheroine could have had was shot, and it's sad to think that marvels excuse is " Evil woman haters".
Anthony Perez Well fucking said!!!
Marvel: hey DC
DC: yeah?
Marvel: can we barrow your writers
DC: HAHAHAHA! No
Marvel: ok
As far as Cap going Nazi, Cap was my Fathers favorite superhero. Cap was always fighting with X-23 for number 2 (nobody can overtake Wolverine) but i do like X-23 I could relate because a lot of her original stories were about her handling depression, but i digress. I joined the military right out of high school. I love this country. I love Cornball ass heros and Captain America defined what "Hero" meant, he was what we all aspire to. He did what was right BECAUSE it was right, and when he won he did so with his morals intact. And now he's Nazi. Me and my Father are Jewish, it's an open handed slap to the face. My dad being older and more removed from getting offended simply suggested that Disney must not be as far removed from their founder as they would like the public to be. Personally i will never forgive them for what they did. You cant fix that, and you cant obtain my readership agaim either.
Not to mention it’s not even an original plot. Cap was brainwashed by Red Skull and the actual Nazis of WWII for an issue back in the 60s, and sent to kill someone...drawing a blank on who though. However, we knew Cap was brainwashed, and we got to see Bucky struggle to try and get his friend back. And of course, Cap broke free of the brainwashing himself. So not only is Marvel full of pandering SJW crap, they’re taking preexisting stories but adding a crap spin to it.
I think it was Eisenhower he was sent to kill.
The funny part is that the SJWs hate Nazis. Really hate them. Because Communists cannot like Nazis. And SJWs are communists.
I guess they want to equate America with Nazis. Which they are. America is predominately white, after all, and has never had a female president. That makes them Übernazis at least.
Thor was my father's favorite superhero and now they made him lose the hammer and turned Jane Foster into Thor.
Zack Kerber, completely agree. That's just evil. As a Russian whose great-grandpa dies in Great Patriotic War and whose grandma's childhood took place during this period, even more.
This is why I almost exclusively read DC. Social Justice doesn't sell.
Carlos Rodriguez Dude...try Image and Valiant too. They have some great titles.
I agree. the only SJW DC is Batgirl and Birds of Prey atm. fuck all compared to marvel
This was the reason why I made the switch to Manga. Needless to say, I made a smart choice.
john doe Just like when the movie came out there were girl only screenings. Doesn't that seem sexist?
Joe Bennett what's wrong about that.
I'm in a Marvel fan group on facebook and I got into an argument with some dipshit a couple weeks ago who was trying to defend Cap's heel turn. All his arguments basically boiled down to "The White Man has had plenty of heroes, now it's time to take them away." I fucking miss the 80s...
Reality's Frank it's sad that people are so full of hate and stupidity.
I was kicked off a comic book Facebook group for questioning
why Marvel is changing the race and sex of their characters.
Someone commented, "Not this again."
Suddenly I couldn't post and I was kicked from the group.
The Left are purely Fascist, they silence all opposing views.
Not satisfied with having had several characters already made to order for their representation, the Left today has gone so far as to take the "White Man's" heroes away. No wonder why people are dropping the publisher's books!
The crazy thing is Marvel has a vault full of non-white characters from all the older comic series. Look how well received Black Panther and Luke Cage was when they brought those two black characters back. So if they want more "diversity" Marvel can easily pull from a line-up of well-established minority/women characters to reintroduce to a new generation of comic fans without changing white characters to non-white or a male to female characters.
Reality's Frank well you know that's what Martin Luther King jr. died for. so that oppressed upper-middle-class minorities could rise up and divest oppressive nerd shitlords of their superhero comic book privilege.
Disney, please fire all those that are killing marvel.
Leonardo Amador I'm pretty sure it's Disney that killing Marvel.
Look at Star Wars and their obsession with female leads:
Force Awakens lead: Rey
Rouge One lead: Jinn
Battlefront II: female storm trooper commando...
They have three opportunities to create new storylines and all the leads are females.
I didn't have a problem in the beginning but now it's just suspicious...
Too bad cuz I loved Star Wars but since Disney ruined it it even made me start to hate marvel.
That seem true. But either way, they are going to blame somebody for losing money.
Leonardo Amador yeah they blamed us for “not liking diversity".
Disney is the problem. They are cancerous globalist. Stop giving Disney money.
I knew it was gonna be shit when they bought Marvel.
I stop stop paying for anything that involves Disney.
Leonardo Amador
it's Disney that's killing marvel or at least accelerating the process of killing marvel
Does everything SJW's touch dies?
No, some just turn into shit and live on as caricatures of themselves.
yup theres no cure for this cancer
Maybe they can just touch themselves.
Owlman 52 Half of them die,half of them turn to shit and become hollow,soulless shells.
Even though Marvel is beating DC in live action movies, I've realized that DC is beating Marvel in everything else. DC has great animated movies and TV shows, DC is doing very well in live action television, and as far as I know DC is doing very well in their comics. Now why Marvel isn't doing well in TV or animation I couldn't say, but now I understand why their comics are failing. I really am sick of politics, especially leftist politics, ruining entertainment just to force political ideas down our throats. The only comics I collect right now from Marvel are Star Wars comics, and I've been wondering if I should start picking up any other series. Now I have my answer.
NathanielRoarkProductions DareDevil tv show is better than any DC show
Most Marvel comics have been garbage for years. There's no focus on quality stories, just desperate attempts to get readers attention with shock marketing. The whole Nazi Cap is the straw that broke the camel's back with many fans, along with the dysfunctional diversity agenda.
Captain America as a Nazi is really a slap in the face to Jack Kirby and Stan Lee.
@@basementoflove That was soo bad dude..
You cater to the 10% of the readers, you make 10% of the money. Their fault for alienating the majority of the fans, which is the core of their profits.
Amadaeus Cho was actually a really good supporting character, he really didn't need to become the Hulk to be interesting, plus making more Hulks has really watered down Hulks uniqueness over the years.
Political correctness SUCKS, we don't need this shit.
I agree with your opinion here.
Never betray your fan base.
Especially not to a bunch of penniless losers who never intend to buy your crap, anyway. That's not a scumbag move, but an absolutely idiotic scumbag move.
I believe in you. And what you said.
Marvel's main problem isn't pushing social commentary, it has done so during its entire history. The main problem is that they have become so lazy about it. Instead of using subtlety they beat people over the head with it. Instead of creating new minority characters and spending years building up their rapport with fans like with Storm, Blade, Black Panther and Luke Cage they instead co-opt established big name characters and race/gender/religion swap em.
This is where they are really mucking it up, people don't just overnight take to new characters, so while in the past they could introduce new characters and it not hurt business that is because they had their established big name hitters to carry the sales as the new upstarts slowly become profitable. But now they have gutted their big names and are suddenly surprised that the sales are slumping.
Then there is the message itself, people can get behind the X-Men series being an allogory for the oppressed, they can talk about stories of mutants being chased down and beaten to death for being different. It's because the story was told from a place of genuineness and always the characters seemed honest and humble. Now that has changed with characters seeming didactic or smug and the stories involved are very poorly written.
E.TxCountryBoy Bravo and Amen
agreed. only one they did mostly right was miles morales
The love of God and country are the core values of Captain America. Cap's patriotic idealism is not extended by only that of the uniform he wears, but by his very heart & soul. In essence, Captain America is to Marvel what Superman is to DC. As with Superman, Cap represents the iconic tagline; "truth, justice, & the American way". In the ill-fated "Superman Returns" film, by Brian Singer, Perry White repeats that immortal tagline, out of context, by saying, "Truth, justice & "ALLTHAT STUFF". One tends to forget that these wonderful and immortal characters were creations of writers and artists who never took America for granted. The term; "PATRIOTISM" wasn't simply an empty word, but rather a beloved ideal related to a country which bred, first & foremost, individual freedoms to those blessed by living here in The United States. During WW2, men simply didn't choose to fight & die for their Government, but rather to keep America a safe & free nation for their families, and future generations. These mythological superheroes, such as Captain America, were created, first and foremost, for that reason alone. So for Marvel Comics to intentionally have Captain America join a fascist organization (*even if it is a fictional one*) like HYDRA, is nothing more than a slap in the face to Cap's creators, the readers, and the character itself. I've often defended this character by reminding people that his name isn't Captain North Korea. Nor is it Captain Russia. And no, it certainly isn't Captain Iran. His name is, now and forever, "CAPTAIN AMERICA". And this is the name which Cap's creators, Joe Simon & Jack Kirby (*may they both R.I.P.*), intended for him to be. Captain America is called "The Sentinel of Liberty" for good reason. And in my opinion he forever shall be. God Bless.
At this point I'm totally fine with Marvel shutting down their comic department. As an alienated fan,I have certain criteria that must be met before I even consider touching another Marvel book.
So far the movies are killing it. But if they infest those with their All New All Different All Agenda All Pandering ideals then I won't be watching.
And by the way, don't trust thir Legacy ida either. It won't last long.
The only movie I really liked was the first Iron Man movie. The first Avengers movie was fun to watch but very stupid. The rest of the movies have been either boring or insultingly stupid.
You're wrong but keep trying though.
Michael MacLeod Too late in regard to your statement "so far the movies are killings it, but if they infest those with their [agenda]..." Did you see the steaming s--t pile called Spider-Man Homecoming? SJW written all over it.
It’s coming buddy...Marvel phase 3 is going to be SJW Propaganda garbage just like Disney did with Star Wars. I hope to God not...but it’s written on the walls already.
is cap'n crying from his mask? because it doesn't look like its coming from his eyes
I think one of the problems with diverse Marvel is that they're replacing existing characters. These new characters would be much better recieved if they were their own characters. When Storm became leader of the X-Men she didnt go for a blue look, shoot lightning from a visor and call herself She-Cyclops.
my favorite was the X-MEN, and marvel ruined them. Cyclops is the mutant Hitler and he didn't do anything, now he's dead. Before Wolverine died marvel made him a coward, running away from fights. Now I really enjoyed X-23 stories and I'm not mad she's Wolverine, when Batman went away other people took his place as Batman until he showed back up.
No One I hate it when heroes take the place of other heroes. To be a hero you don't have to dress exactly like the former hero. I wish these characters would would just develop into their own.
You really got that.
I went to my comic book store on May 16th to get the release of Dragon Age: Knight Errant, and the comic book guy said he would throw in a free comic with my purchase. It was a Marvel comic with Captain America, Thor, and some of the other Avengers. I told him he could keep it, and I told him why. He shook his head and agreed with my reasoning. He also knows that Marvel is getting too political and too SJW. They can't even give Marvel comics away.
I had that in my local store only they were giving away copies of "Champions"
Hahahahaha
Marvel: buy our books
people: no
DC: buy our books that have good storylines and good characters
people: yes, good books
Marvel: (autistic screeching)
Mr. Mateo *autistic screeching
Marvel has been killing interest in Webhead since One More Day
Peter is still their most profitable character so their gonna have to start treating him right at some point.
Super Saiyan Goddess treating him right would involve letting him grow up (which they won't do, thinking that his appeal is souly from him being a younger character) and actually learn responsibility instead of just saying his power & responsibility quote while doing the opposite
+HeadBangerAust His best comics are still the ones where he's in high school and college days. It has nothing to do with him not growing up it just seems like they're tired of the character and they're trying to push him out to replicate his popularity with other charecters. They keep desperately trying to push Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen but Peter still obliterates both of them combined in sales pretty consistently.
IMO, they should honestly kill him off or have him retire.
You want a younger, witty appeal character swinging around?
Two options Marvel:
1. Go the old DC route and do a proper reboot. And I mean REBOOT. You start ALL OVER. You don't pull a New 52, you start from the very beginning. Peter being bit, Hulk gaining his powers, Iron Man making his armor and escaping captivity, all that jazz. There, now you have Spider-Man back to drag out for 10-20 years.
2. The more mature route. You retire Peter...and make Miles the new Spider-Man. He's hella popular, appearing on Ultimate and in the new upcoming XD series. You have HIM be the one to put down Cap like in the all the visions(this would make Civil War II have at least some reason for existing) and become the main Spidey by saving the world. Peter retires after this stupid Goblin War thing and Miles becomes the world's only Spider-Man.
Or you can keep dragging Peter down. That's nice too.
Super Saiyan Goddess don't entirely agree because Kraven's Last Hunt and the original symbiote costume/Venom arc were after college and both were awesome, but just examples. I'm not a fan of Miles Morales in particular because people act as if he is the only Ultimate Spider-Man, despite being the 2nd and coming out after Brian Michael Bendis stopped caring, but I at least understand why people like him. no idea why people go nuts for Gwen Stacy characters, she wasn't that interesting in the silver age, my theory is because of Emma Stone playing her in the last 2 flicks. gwenpool has no good reason to exist
You nailed this… The political bullshit completely turned me off. I read comics to escape the everyday bull crap of societies failures and my escape started bashing me because of my political views. This couldn’t be any sweeter justice for me. I believe in capitalism and this only goes to show how well it works.
As for Captain America. It’s freaking Captain AMERICA.. When you rip apart the character that completely represents the most amazing country on earth, what do you freaking expect..!!!
Instead of creating new characters, God forbid, SJW’s have to take over ours.
Iron man = Turned into a Woman Thor = Turned into a Woman
Wolverine = Turned into a Woman Ice Man = Turned Gay
And it continues on and on instead of celebrating the characters already made. Seriously, I want to Wolverine slice someone’s head off because they spilled his beer. I could care less that they now feel the need to show women can be just as bad ass. They’re called names like Rogue and Storm. If you want to make a superhero or villain a female, gay, or what the hell ever, then create one and leave the originals alone. It’s really that simple.
Simply ask yourself this. They changed Nick Fury into a black man. Fine, I can live with it. But what would happen if Black Panther or Storm was casted and changed in comics into white person? Yea, you know the answer and that's the definition of hypocrisy.
Oh well, I’ll step off my soap box now. They’re not getting my money anymore so that’s my justice. It was good while it lasted..
But that is what those marxists, postmodernists lunatics do. In order to push their agenda, they first need to destroy everything in their path. It's the bitterness and resentment ot the core that drives them - and they want everyone to suffer as much as they do while obviously ignoring that other people do in fact suffer in their own unqiue ways. Psychological projection and a lack of compassion.
I have been a loyal reader of Thor since 1988, I gave up on the title because of all this Jane Foster as "thor" nonsense.
New Marvel is laughably bad. Between those jokes for comics and the 2 hour advertisements they call "movies" they've done nothing but make me tired of them and miss the early 2000's era of Marvel when they actually cared.
with them not feeling like films any more and just like. bloated 2 hr ad for the next one and so on and so fourth. sorry I can't explain it too well
The movies are actually good though. Civil War, Strange, Guardians. All enjoyable as a motherfucker. Also you can said you can't explain it too well i;'m not(and neither should anybody) take you serious in that aspect.
The comics though, it's just bad.
assassinwarrior huh? ...of course they're going to promote their next movie project.
MCU has been making the best movies coming to theaters since the first Iron man. Fox has had alot of trash movies and Sony's Amazing Spider-Man movies were pretty bad too. But MCU definitely are making nothing but quality movies that are fun and well put together.
this is why bro I love DC'S books. Rebirth listened to fans. Also your right, all the fucking political and anti trump bullshit in the fucking comics. DC is kicking ass with Superman and there other titles. When the turned Captain America into a fucking Nazi and Thor into a woman, hulk asian, and the other shit. Forcing this shit down people's thoughts and being a comic book writer for the last 20 years people are not going to read any more political point bullshit.
Michael Bleckler I agree dc kick ass right now
Michael Bleckler Hmm maybe D.C. Will get my cash again now...
I think the basic issue at hand: Marvel failed to understand what a comic book character means to the reader.
Each character has a rich history, and the reader shares in that history. The reader bonds with the character, and likes each character for his or her flaws. So, the reader expects the character to grows with the reader.
Watching that character die a horrible death, for some silly reason, with callous editors pushing the stories, means most readers revolt and now Marvel suffers for it.
Ugh! I got an Amy Schumer ad on this video. Still kept my word by not skipping
So that's why manga is getting popular
Yup. Absolutely no deference to moral busybodies, no idiotic pandering to people who are not, and never will be, buying this stuff, anyway.
It's probably disney's fault honestly.
I think secret empire was marvels plan to finally get rid of the "cis white male" captain America since they got a black guy as the new cap now but with how vocal the true fans of marvel comics have been, I think their plans have drastically changed.
Im pretty mad that marvel thinks sjw views sell, The first ironman movie got me into the ironman comics but after they killed Tony off just so they could replace him with a mary sue black teen girl was the point where I stopped supporting anything marvel.
Marvel comics these days, and Hollywood in general has no idea what they are doing. They are bereft of Ideas, and they are only about SJW politics. Their Parent company is obsessed with that, and turned Star Wars into an SJW cluster F#$% Fest! I have more creativity and stories in my pinky then anyone of the writers over at Marvel comics.. Want Proof? I can best any of the Marvel crew. Just google Star Superion! I'm the writer and creator. I earned the name Atum Mirabilis, greek and Egyptian as my title. Creator-Magnificent. If Marvel and Disney were to Dump Joe Quesada, and their shitty writers and dorky shabby anime artists.. I could rebuild Marvel into a successful franchise. But alas, I will continue to make my art, work to get my books published under the Capital Comics logo, and show these no-talent HACKS how it is done!!!
Star Superion wow... you don't have an ego at all
Jeez Marvel, you're like a homeless guy on the street. I'm not giving you my fucking money!!!!!
I'm excited for Jurassic World comics by IDW which are scheduled for a 2017 release more than Marvel's political, feminist and SJW bullshit
Nathan Semmens Check out the Transformers comics from IDW. great series with tons of variety. You want to read about Transformers traveling in space? Read MTMTE and the current series Lost Light. Want to see Transformers living on Cybertron? Read ExRiD Season 1/ and the current series Till All Are One. Want to see the Transformers on Earth? Read ExRiD Season 2/ and the current series Transformers: Optimus Prime. The IDWverse is rich with lore, even incorporating Transformers marriage, sounds dumb at first but it's handled very well and makes the characters more relatable. Also, Megatron is trying to find redemption, that story is also great. Lots of great art, MTMTE has the best art in Transformers comics ever.
Spork Person if I can find them I will
Andoc I heard about the male and female ghostbusters crossover and I was turned off. That's why I'm only excited for Jurassic World comics by IDW cause their based on my favourite movie of 2015
...There's going to be a Jurassic World comic line.......... don't lie to me about this!
I love Jurassic Park
this is seriously the first I've ever heard about this
short chubby neckbeard I'm not joking I heard from websites like bleeding cool, jurassic world 2 movie and jurassic outpost.
I actually kind of like X-23. It doesnt feel as forced as the others. But meh...the rest of Marvel Bullshit can go to hell.
Well X-23 was introduced in 2003 in a very unique way cloning a Wolverine. She was cool on her own
Scootaloo Gamer I would prefer they keep X-23, she is pretty cool.
Thats probably because X-23 was an existing character that they built up and developed for over a decade, where as all the other characters were just thrown in as SJW clones of the original characters.
Kind of ironic actually, X-23 is the only clone in the bunch but she is the one who feels most like a real character.
One day everyone will know.
I wouldn't mind the character deaths if 1) it wasn't a stunt and 2) wasnt just to clear out Hulk for Totally Lame Hulk.
And a lifelong Marvel fan, I stopped buying comics a few years ago.
I do buy the Hardcover Omnibus' and Marvel Masterworks,
but I won't buy any take place after the last Secret Wars.
To me, that is when Marvel really ended.
I would never buy secret Empire. Captain America can't be a strong willed character if he can be brainwashed so easily and completely.
He was not brainwashed they made it so that he was originally a Hydra agent, the one we have now is a fake. A cosmic cube construct.
Social Justice. Not even once
As a liberal, I cannot stand these new writers (and Spencer for he is the worst) and their hamfisted politics. No one wants to be preached at in a medium that is mainly popular for its escapism! It would not even be this bad if half of the new characters were even good. They had to give Jane cancer to make her interesting and it has not worked, Kamala went from an interesting character to a teen book dealing with INTERNET TROLLS and politics, Cho as Hulk has been boring, Sam as Nova was fun (but Nova has never been popular and that doomed the book from the start), Miles is just boring without him being in the Ultimate Universe, Vision's daughter turned off her emotions so now she is literally an emotionless robot and that is completely boring, Sam as Cap. could have been good in Spencer had any talent as a writer (but he doesn't so the book sucks), and Riri...oh god...is absolutely terrible and everything she does is the best thing ever! She beat the Techno Golem in one issue where Tony (one of the smartest men alive and Iron Man) and Rhodey (a trained soldier) could not beat her. Not to mention she has had to deal with zero ramifications for stealing from MIT and running from the cops. God Bendis has lost his touch.
I hate most of what Marvel has done the past few years with the X-Men being what put me over the edge. Killing off Logan (he was finally having a good life at the school and with my girl Ororo), turning Scott into a poor man's Magneto (and then killing him off), activily trying to kill off the mutants to push the Inhumans (which has not worked at all), turning Bobby gay for no reason (why not just bring back Northstar if Bendis wanted a gay X-Man?), everything Bendis did with the X-Men, and now even with the current books with the racist artist on Gold (glad his ass is gone), Blue being shit because the time displaced team is terrible and have no reason to still be here, Bobby's first solo book is going to be about him being gay rather than anything to do with him being a superhero, the Jean book looking dull, and I honestly could go on. At least Weapon X's first issue was good and I have hope for Astonishing, but Marvel has killed most of my interest in their universe. At least DC apologized for DC You and the bad parts of the New 52 (there were a lot of books I enjoyed from the new 52, but god there was a lot of bad too) and turned the ship around with Rebirth (which has been kicking Marvel's ass).
If Marvel wants to do a diverse character right, then they need to look at Jessica Cruz over at DC. A Latina, who has crippling anxiety, got the Power Ring from Earth 3 and nearly went crazy as a result. The Justice League took her in to try and train her and help her. She eventually defeated the ring and sacrificed her own life to save the League. She was brought back to life and rewarded as a Green Lantern. She is now in her own book with Simon Bazz, and just recently learned how to make her own constructs. She still has a lot to learn, but you can actually see the character growth happening and has actual flaws that make the character far better than little miss perfect Riri.
Good will always triumph over evil, because evil is dumb.
Great video. Question for you, Jeff. In your opinion what bothers you more, the current state of Star Wars or comics? If you had to choose which one could you possibly live without because as you've stated many times this political agenda age is going to be the end of just about everything that was once good. ✌️️
Peter Parker I could live without new Star Wars. Han is dead
Fantastic question
agree
@falleangel2100
Miles actually isn't a bad character. He respects the sacrifice Peter Parker made, and his comic book isn't as hamfisted with PC bullshit as, I don't know, female Thor or Captain Marvel or Spider-woman, etc
But Parker still shows up in Venom and whichever Avengers title with FemThor and Hercules. Is he not in the Spider-Man titles?
It might help if they lowered their prices.
$4.00 is a ridiculous price to pay for a single issue every month.
A lot of teenagers can't afford to subscribe to very many titles at those prices.
Also, in trying to monopolize distribution, by taking them off of shelves and racks in grocery stores and drug stores, they're insuring that children who don't live within walking distance of a comic book store, aren't going to get into comics on their own.
And they wonder why it's so hard for them to get (and keep) new readers.
This is the kind of fuckery that made me abandon Marvel and DC a long time ago: bad writing, inconsistencies, preachiness, etc. It seemed the art was getting really good, but the better the art got, the worse the stories got. I turned to indies and foreign titles and never looked back. I've enjoyed the movies, but they're starting to go south. I need look no further than the entire X-Men movie franchise and the complete mess it became. It had such a huge potential. They could have done so much good with it. They had the talent, the technology, the time...but they ended up doing...what they did.
IronheadOfScroteus x-men was directed by fox and that's why it sucked.
IronheadOfScroteus Na DC is better.
That's what everyone seems to be saying, that DC is better these days. I wouldn't really know, the last regular title I followed from DC was "The New Teen Titans" back in the late 80's until I got fed up with the soap opera it had become. I really liked "Preacher" and "Transmetropolitan" but they had to separate that stuff from their regular line onto Vertigo to keep their regular shit from being infected by the badassery of those titles, lol! So yeah, it's been awhile since I've followed anything from them.
So it was Fox in charge of X-Men? That explains a lot. They're the same ones who cancel a popular TV series the instant it drops one fraction of a point in ratings. I guess I'll have to be content with the small part Colossus played in Deadpool. To me, it's the best representation of the classic comic character so far.
IronheadOfScroteus Have you heard of DC Rebirth? DC has been killing it with the comics they have there lately.
Well that's cool. I do wish them the best; I grew up with the big two and I'm sentimental about the companies.
Pretty concise and constructive for an unscripted piece.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Superior spiderman and if it contrasts with your opinion of current spiderman, I honestly liked the idea and thought it was a pretty bold direction to take with the series; I loved how it came full circle with Peter being the superior spiderman. I also found Octavius's character struggles to be very endearing, more so when Octavius is emulating the feeling of admiration and idolising peter not unlike how we ourselves as fans look up to our heroes and apply their ideals into our basic outlook.
New writers now using superheroes as a platform to push an agenda and force it into relevancy is fucking disgusting, more so when they are literally killing off characters and wearing the mask of their ideals and what they represented to push a new standard.
That's really what I liked about Miles and Otto, they were literally fans like you and I trying to do good by Peters name, these writers however don't even seem like fans anymore...
Cameron Forsyth I bought every issue of Superior Spider-Man. loved it
You're not going to hear an argument from me there. I dislike everything he's ever drawn
SJW first ruined ghostbusters, now marvel who's next?
Chris Wiese Star Wars
Trevor Ostenson you beat me to it. Take it you weren't a fan of The Last SJW?
John McNamara Can't say I was
Me neither lol
Chris Wiese anything the assholes can get their hands on
This was awesome and right on the money Jeff - Well done brother! As a 23 year comic professional who has worked for Marvel and DC both Ive never seen Marvel this bad since they went Bankrupt back in the 90s. Keep up the fight!
I totally Agree; Marvel isn't what it use to be.
Really, the thing that's killed Marvel Comics purchases for me is not just the SJW/Leftist agendas that permeate and litter virtually every issue churned out since 2010. It's not the overhauling of characters, which to me is just garbage.
It's that the ONE groiup of titles that literally turned me into a Marvel fan, the X-Men, have been completely shit on for the better part of ten years. Yes, I get the reasons for, mostly cause of the who'e 'film rights issues', but goddammit man! X-Men were one of the cornerstones of the damn publisher and for them to do what they've done just pushes away long time fans.
This is why I buy DC, Image, and Dark Horse
Years ago, Cecilia Reyes was introduced to the X-Men.
She was a woman, she was black, she was Puerto Rican, she was a reluctant mutant hero. And she was strong. And yet I do not remember thinking Marvel had introduced her just to have a black, Puerto Rican, female hero.
She did mention the fact that she faced discrimination. She worked in a field full of white, male doctors. But did she spend all her time complaining about this fact? No. She mentioned it in passing to explain the situation to someone when her status as a mutant made her lose her job , but then she spent all her time being a doctor (and a reluctant hero). She let her actions speak for her. She did not do these things for anyone else. She did not do them to further any feminist agenda. She did them because she was a great doctor who wants to do a good job.
If writers today knew how to create characters (of any gender, race and nationality) that spent their time being strong (even though they have their weaknesses) and not only talking about how strong they are, people would enjoy them and receive them well.
why is marvel complaining? They have their movies, that's their bread and butter now. which I don't watch either. ever since spiderman 3, I stopped watching marvel films.
TheZeek that was Sony
Do you've never seen a MCU movie?
I atcually like the idea of a new generation of comic heroes and series, even ones based off the original characters. But make them interesting and compelling stories that distinguish themselves from the original while still respecting where they came from, not political agenda billboards.
We all knew this was gonna happen. They got the message.
i pretty much stopped reading marvel when they killed wolverine
you just dont do that
I would have ditched Nintendo if they went down this SJW path, hell now that the Nintendo Switch is region free, I would be better off importing games from Japan instead of suffering what Nintendo of America's Treehouse localisation team dished up.
I feel that Disney needs to push all SJWs out of Marvel, unless if it was current Disney's fault for putting them in the first place.
I would hate to see Disney Movies go down this SJW path and it is scary that some actors and actresses hired by Disney even have some of these SJW views.
Nintendo will not allow this cancer to affect this. Even if Reggie himself has to do damage control because his guys were idiots, they will not allow it. Even if *Shiggy* has to get involved, it will be crushed. So many SJWs wanted Link to be female or have the option to be female in BotW, but Nintendo said "Link is a character, not your avatar. Screw off."
Problem is Disney has them too.
They should get the Justice League to rescue Marvel from the Social Justice League...
i doubt the movies will ever flop, most movie goers haven't even scimmed through a Marvel comic unfortunately
Steven Velasco i know this is a very late comment but i must reassure you, i never read marvel but i saw almost all of their movies, but after knowing what i know now especially thanks to diversity & comincs and other youtuber like him i decided to nevergo watch their film ever again if not on the internet in ways cough cough you know... i know i'm just one man but still i don't want to support a shitty political indoctrinaction company
During free comic book day. They gave away a secret empire book. I went back to my local comic shop today, and their are still stacks of that book sitting their (over 75 copies).
Even if you give that shit away for free people won't take it.
I don't read comics at all but I'm plenty familiar with SJW's and based on what I've seen coming out of Marvel comics as explained by the actual comic fans I can safely say I wouldn't buy that junk either.
Marvel is currently the new 52 but i'm pretty confident that they will do a turn around just like dc did... Lot of the current marvel titles are actually pretty good imo.... I've heard that secret empire was actually pretty good.
The no 52 was more like the Ultimate Universe. Just dumb ideas for the sake of trying something new. Current Marvel is just rehashing basic ideas over and over.
Yes, Spiderman is not the spidey i loved to see and read and everything. For me the the Spidey era ended when Spectacular Spiderman did (animated series)
Understand, Marvel, i'm not locked in here with you, YOUR LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!
I agree 100%. It blows my mind that there are those who argue there is no political agenda including Marvel itself. All you have to do is take 20 minutes and read Nick Spencer's Twitter. He point blank says he is doing it for political reasons. (By the way my favorite response to Nick Spencer was Ed Brubaker's Tweet. Classic.) I am a Captain America fan. He is my favorite and I collect comics about him. There has not been a bigger slap in the face then this Nick Spencer Hydra Cap as a Cap fan. And it isn't even well written. I have read bits and pieces online because I refuse to spend money on trash. And it is as bad as people say. It's for a political agenda and it craps on who Steve Rogers is and fans, many of whom aren't even that political, who love Captain America.
Business is business, the people will decide your fate. If they don't buy your product, then things have to change.
#MAKEMARVELGREATAGAIN
Those comics that talk about how I'm a piece of shit for being a white dude. Yeah, I want to totally buy those comics.
Comics, or any fantasy media, shouldn't be based in any one political ideology. Certain characters can be shown to think a certain way, but the overall story should be unbiased as a whole. It's ok to acknowledge political veiws, but if you hold to one or the other, you alienate one side or the other.
If Marvel continues this shit the comic books will die. Thank DC some comics are worth buying, they are doing what they should do. I'm a Marvel fan but if they kill the comics by hiring the sjws as writers then bye bye.
Nicely said!
Honestly I only purchase classic Marvel books. The last books I read from Marvel was Bendis's Avengers run.
I hope Linkara reviews this comic someday. Also, The 'Amazing Spider-Man' movies, and the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' cartoon shit on that character just as much as 'One More Day' shit on the character.
I feel so much less alone after hearing this.
As a long-time reader, I'm still in my 40s, I completely agree with you. ;)
BTW... thanks for that simpsons reference.
It was quite good...
I also agree (sorry I keep posting) on the diversity thing you pointed out. I feel like they (the writers) are coming from a place of narcissism. They need to make the characters the character first, and their race/gender/religion second, if even that. But these days they shove the secondary thing in our face. They are so self-absorbed they can't stand the idea of relating to a character that isn't 100% like them.
Nick Spencer: CHANGE! Ya got change? Aw c'mon help a guy out would ya? C'mon, change! I promise I'll make sure Nazi Cap never existed!
in 2004 I was talking with my local comic store owner. He made a profound statement to me, he said Marvel Comics are in trouble due to the fact that they no longer care about the comics. At this point in time he was told by a Marvel Rep that "their emphasis was not on the comics but on the movies."
I think that Marvel is now dealing with the ramifications of this business model.
The reader is the core of the MCU
Guess I did dodge a bullet when I decided to stop reading Marvel once the Heroic Age was over. Marvel and Disney, especially Marvel are to blame for this travesty.
Roschach's Journal: 24 May 2017... Tonight a big Comic Book Company died in New York
I love the X-Men. I've had to watch as marvel has crapped on them for years now. It's sucked. Reeree could have been cool if she were sort of an apprentice who seeks her own path she could have been interesting. The rest of the legacy character can just fade from existing because their timeline was destroyed or whatever. Honestly I don't care how you get rid of them just get rid of them. Maybe have them all riding a bus then the bus crashes or something, I'd be ok with that. As for secret empire- it was given away as a free comic on free comic book day- I could pick it up. IT WAS FREE, and I couldn't bring myself to pick up a free comic. Cap is best when he's conflicted with the modern world and the motives of it. He is not a hydra sleeper!
When will every business learn that social justice is NOT profitable????
only good thing is ol man logan tears for peter parker spiderman but fuck that MILES is wavy too
As a comic-book fan and a football fan, I'd like to say "Come on, man." Comics & football are two things my dad and I can spend hours talking about.
That said, I completely agree with your assessment on Marvel. Jason Aarons ruined Thor for me (my favorite) when he made him "unworthy" and I never picked up an issue with the female Thor. Of course, Aarons called all the Thor fans misogynists for not supporting the book anymore. I think early on, Disney was giving Marvel tons of money to go out and push "diversity" and political agendas, never thinking that it would backfire on them.
Sounds like Marvel Comics comic books are becoming Hydra propaganda.
Book sales are never going to climb to the levels of the past. Movies are working out well for Marvel, I hear good things about the Netflix series they produce and i have long thought they should produce animated movies like DC does. DISNEY owns Marvel. DISNEY. HOW are they NOT producing animated movies?
"Comic books are bad because Black People" Okay.
I'm with you on this. I too am happy Marvel comics is failing. I grew up reading Thor, Avengers, and Captain America. Those 3 were the comics I bought every single month out of my allowance, so what Marvel has done to my childhood favorites angers me. I don't really care if they end up wiping away all the stupidity and resetting their universe. They cared so little about Captain America and Thor that they were willing to completely rewrite/destroy them to suit their SJW agenda, so I'm done with Marvel.
Lol,serves them right.
Just as with politics, if there are no consequences to bad actions, those bad actions will continue. It's good to see that Marvel, as custodians of part of America's cultural heritage, our popular mythology, are now paying for their disrespectful treatment of it. ='[.]'=
i love this news stick it to them
My realization that Marvel was going political was with the release of Alpha Flight #106, the coming out of Northstar. It was all downhill from there.
Marvel and dc sales aren't that far apart... Marvel's sales aren't as good as they used to be but they are still neck and neck with DC. Marvel used to almost always be on top. They both still have most of the comic book market.
John Castiel dude last year marvel just sell 7000 comics in 1 year Dc was way beyond that
That wasn't until recently. Marvel has always sold more units than DC.
