they're interviewing Stan Lee on UK's BBC radio 4 right now, and the interviewer mentioned that Iceman is now gay... Stan stopped talking, then said he didn't know, then asked if it was true, then said he didn't really read the comics any more (because of eyesight) then said Marvel was doing a good job
>>77541183
Is that supposed to be Jean Grey?
Why the fuck is she so adorable?
>>77541183
Also way to only draw 3 panels a Ctrl+V the shit out of that page.
>>77541183
Finally he's old as fuck. That's about as tolerant as old fucks get. Good for him.
>>77541344
It is a time-displaced young Jean from back when the X-Men first formed, brought to the modern Marvel universe.
>>77541374
That doesn't answer my second (and more important) question.
>>77541409
Artistic decision
>>77541183
>half the artwork is copypasted
>zero background
How fucking lazy can you get.
>>77541183
I didn't realise Iceman was gay, I thought it was just Teen Iceman.
>>77541344
That's her using mind control on the reader to make herself more attractive, just like she's been using it on everyone around her on the other side of the comic pages.
So meta.
>>77541488
Both are gay.
>DEEP closet
>>77541183
link?
>>77541512
Wow, really?
>>77541703
Yeah X-men #600
It was as stupid as it sounds
>>77541724
Huh, I don't know if that makes this better or worse. It makes the teen Jean reveal more sensible (I mean, it doesn't change how bad OPs page is) but still, wow.It can't be long until Magik gets outed now though.
>>77541183
Brian for the win!!
Thanks DRAKE
>>77541183
Yeah, that sounds about how I'd imagine Stan taking it.
>>77541183
Anti-Bendis memers BTFO! Bendis wins again! Stan the man approves of the direction Marvels best writer is taking the company. Nothing can stop the Bendis train now, can't wait for him to start running the company soon. Comics, TV, movies, there's nothing Bendis can't do. Once Stan can't make cameos anymore, no doubt Bendis will take up the role!
>>77541703
Yeah, remember back in the day when he was crushing super hard on Polaris and got devastated when she chose another guy over him? He was super gay then and though Polaris had a dick.
>>77541183
It's kinda funny, now Marvel has 3 gay Jewish men that could end the world if they wanted to. If that isn't the set-up for a sitcom then I don't know what is.
>>77541920
you're trying too hard
>>77541920
>Stan stopped talking, then said he didn't know, then asked if it was true
That doesn't sound like approval, that sounds like keeping up appearances.
>>77541970
Asking creators what they think about the direction their creations have taken without them is always a full errand. Same thing as asking Bruce Timm about Suicide Girl Harley or Garth Ennis about the Preacher show, how many bridges do they think the creators are willing to burn by giving their honest feelings?
>>77541817
>It can't be long until Magik gets outed now though.
Ha! Though luck, she is Hopeless waifu, she will remain pure till his run ends.
>>77542004
>Hopeless
And Lemire's.
>>77541183
Stan...you know...you're gay.
>>77541409
QT who deserves to be put across my knee and spanked.
>>77541957
>gay Jewish men will destroy the world
Was /pol/ right again?

He sounds kind of surprise but that's about it.
>>77541183
>Bobby, you're gay
>Why?
>Because the audience who doesn't even buy our comics wants us to have a token homosexual character and we're putting it
>ON ICE
>>77542176
But there are SIGNS that Bobby is gay! It was obvious to everyone.
>>77542176
I just don't understand it. Bobby has had at least a dozen girlfriends over the last several decades and has frequently been shown as a massive horndog.
Maybe if they said he was bisexual with a preference for women I could have bought it. . .But in no way is it believable that Iceman is gay.
I don't care how deep in the closet a faggot is, they aren't going to date THAT many women and flirt with as many women as Bobby has just to keep his secret.
Marvel has always been pretty bad to mediocre when it came to a cohesive and consistent narrative, but for God's sake they're downright shit now with this fucking PC agenda nonsense.
>>77541368
Are you high? Tolerance was practically the ONLY agenda Stan enforced at Marvel and he enforced it HARD.
>>77542252
Just a last minute thing by Bendis to leave his mark on the X-Men.
>>77542281
Totally. When you can't do shit with story, use controversy card.
>>77541409
here comes the cuter one
>>77542281
No way was Young Jean being around Bobby all this time not pressure from the writers who were in line to take over from him so they can retcon this turd away..
>>77542317
We know it's you Bendis.
>>77542281
even if it wasn't Bendis's intent, I pray the next writer or so goes with the 'Jean is, intentionally or otherwise, mindfucking her friends to get what she wants.
Iceman can still like dudes after it but at least make him bi and don't pretend all those other relationships where just him going through the motions.
For bonus points, it opens up the question about how much the constantly rehashed Logan/Jean/Scott love triangle was sustained by OG Jean enjoying having people fight over her without needing to actually broach the topic
>>77541724
>>77541703
I've been hoping it was just Teen Bobby that was gay because they weren't from the past of 616, but another reality completely like our own except for Bobby being gay. I really wanted someone to refer to it as the Gay Ice Reality.
>>77541498
Hot.
>>77541344
it's the art. Everyone looks adorable in there
>>77541992
There's always a chance someone will Alan Moore it up
Fuck you Bendis!
>>77541344
>Why the fuck is she so adorable?
Two words: Mahmud Asrar
>>77541488
>>77541512
This will never not piss me off.
Why not make him bisexual? Why must all his past relationships be made irrelevant? It's not like Marvel has too many bisexual male characters.
The only ones that come to mind are Hercules and Deadpool, and they tend to come off as a bit stereotypical, being a man-slut and insane respectively. Not to mention that none of the authors can seem to decide if those characters are bisexual in the first place, despite the fact the both have shown attraction to both men and women. (though in Deadpool's case, his sexual orientation is probably more like Ren and Stimpy's, being whatever is funniest at the time)
>>77541957
which 3
>>77541724
I loved the edit someone made where it was Jean mind controlling the Bobbys so she'd have a new gay-bff. The edit was way more convincing than the actual issue.
>>77547208
Are names words?
>>77542317
She's the cutest.
>>77541887
>>77541970
>>77541992
Stan hasn't been involved with Marvel as a creator for ages now. His job with them now is as a public face to promote the brand since Stan is viewed by the public as Mr. Marvel.
Of course he's not going to publicly shit on the company no matter what they do in the comics.
>>77542281
or it was the editors telling Bendis to make an important character gay, and he had to choose a character and rewrite the last book and it got delayed because of it
>>77542116
Psst... they're never right.
>>77542317
Can't stand Kitty but it is cuter than the Jean one. This one trumps both.
Do you have the entire Kitty Rocket exchange?
>>77547347
Because he wasn't gay until Jean made him gay. This is teenage Jean who's completely unaware of how strong she is. She probably thought he was gay and while looking for it in his mind, accidentally made him gay.
What bothers me most on this page are Jean's hands. What is she supposed to be doing with them here? Spinning them in circles? Waving them up and down?
>>77547347
>Why not make him bisexual? Why must all his past relationships be made irrelevant?
Yeah, this annoys me. They did the same thing with Rictor. It feels like an insult to the character and doesn't fit at all.
I hope there is an explanation though. Personally I like the theory that Xavier made him straight in some misguided attempt save him from pain and suffering.
>>77541183
Why is this page so hilarious? Makes me laugh every time I see it.
Must be the copy pasted faces, Bobby's confused face and the deadpan "...you're gay." I'm just imagining Jean as a /b/tard going in random threads and calling people faggots.
>>77547347
>Why not make him bisexual?
Not controversial enough. And it's not leaving such impact on character.
>>77548001
Can't stand Emma myself. Kitty is cuter.
>>77548001
I have Jean Rocket exchange, does that count?
>>77542252
It's just soap opera man.
>>77543775
>it opens up the question about how much the constantly rehashed Logan/Jean/Scott love triangle was sustained by OG Jean enjoying having people fight over her
Isn't that Ultimate canon?

>>77548718
Thank you but I'm going to bump this just in case someone has the other one.
