What happened?

That's pretty bad. But then again, the state of comics was already shit since the Dark Age started. This is just more cringey. Hopefully, one day we'll look back at this and laugh just like how we laugh at Superman's mullet.

Argue Marvel's quality all you want (it's shit), but they absolutely dominate the market.
Something like half of their books are unmitigated failures, true, but it doesn't matter.
The top sellers are almost entirely theirs, the public loves them almost no matter what, the addition of Star Wars titles made them even bigger, and they can afford to put out a shitload of titles about basically anything.
Even if by some miracle their quality brought down sales in any significant way, Disney will keep them going forever. They're an IP factor for billion-dollar movies.

Of all the examples of crapping writing and decisions in modern Marvel/comics you centre in specifically on something LGBT related despite LGBT characters actually not having much exposure in Marvel lately at all. Obviously this is the kind of exposure that isn't much good - but it's largely a result of such characters and plots being shoved to the margins. I can think of a number of books - Silk, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel come to mind, that have mention of LGBT characters or have them on the sidelines as cheerleaders but never really have them as superheroes, or characters of much consequence.

It's pretty just an iteration of the "Gay friend" sort of trope, which is probably why you get stuff like this.The non-powered side-kick, or the C-list hanger-oner. The character is shoved to the fringes, given a limited series etc. if marvel had actually put time and effort into comics like Angela, promoting them and giving the characters relevance within the wider Marvel U we probably would have seen something cool come out of it. But it didn't happen.

If it was literally any other anachronism you wouldn't complain about it. People use all these "but I have a valid reason!" excuse but yet it specifically only comes up when it's coincidentally related to women, gays/trans and minorities.

i'm not even 100% on where the continuity is at with Wonder Woman at the moment or in that specific comic and all that but I don't think this is a version of Wonder Woman who hasn't spent some time out in the world. Knowing various immigrants you'd be surprised how quickly they pick up on stuff.

Wonder Woman's always been a bit of a feminist "Mary Sue" either way. Nerdbros prefer her to be a 1940s style feminist since that's in the past and not challenging to them. They're just putting modern words to a disposition Wonder Woman's had for decades.

of course the Bi guy is the "room-mate". queer characters in marvel are always room-mates, or work mates, or C-listers with limited series.

>"She's a homicidal, child-murdering psychopath"

this really depends on which Harley Quinn we're talking about. like the joker she's inconsistent. she's been written badly/edge on numerous occcasions but the original conception of the character was somewhat different. people complain about her being "softened up" when she's brought more in line with Paul Dini's vision of her.

that's what results in weirdness like the panel posted. Harley WAS a "feminist" character originally, in that she was a commentary on abusive relationships, and she was in a number of overtly feminist-themed episodes(even if she was still ultimately the villain, you got the feeling you were meant to be more on their side than the Joker etc.)

To be the original interpretation she IS a fame hungry quack who Joker plays like a damn fiddle.

Looks like somebody needs to read some good old-school Arcade to understand that, before Hopeless turned him into a joke who was desperate for approval, he was a high-priced hitman with a penchant for killer amusements, good sportsmanship, and carnival flair who took his jobs based on how much fun they'd afford him, win or lose.

Of course it is. The misogynistic gamer got hit on the head with a mallet and lectured on how outdated his preconceptions about gender roles are. And then they stopped the action to discuss that guy's sexual for a couple of panels for no fucking reason. The only thing missing is a huge fucking sign on the middle of the page that says "we're not sexist and agree with all of your very progressive opinions, dear reader".

because they are targeting the audience drawn to these characters. it's catering to that slice of the market instead of focusing on empowering female characters.
why the fuck does she hulk have a roommate? isn't she a successful lawyer? it's because the audience has roomates because they have shit/no jobs/still in school.

Never? This is mostly done with characters who aren't particularly popular or important, and they tend to sell poorly.

If this is what modern comics are, and the focus is more on social commentary and social issues, I'm glad I don't pay for this shit but I'm sorry that some kids out there might have had to put up with this. There's no subtlety, no skillful writing, just a sledge hammer of words right into the reader's face.

That bitch doesn't know shit about comics and she thinks her own art is amazing, so her opinion is completely invalid anyway.

Also what the fuck is up with hugging someone you don't know like that. Only reasonable assumption is that it's because it's a cute guy, so she just assumes she has the right to do so and that he'll be happy with it.

Ask yourself, would she have acted that way if it had been an overweight guy with acne in a fedora? And is this in any way less creepy than an ugly guy wrapping his arms around a pretty girl just because she said she would like to read some comics?

This is not the state of comics across the board. This is just one cute, funny little comic. For kids.

Although it's kind of ironic that it's Hellcat.

"Oh and then there's the time I died and went to Hell."
"WHAT? Wasn't that awful?"
"Eh, I didn't do so badly. Probably because Satan is my father."

>>83264218
The problem is that Hellcat is just not very good. If you want capeshit SOL then I would recommend Gotham Academy instead. The art is good while also not being the average pseudo-Jim Lee stuff that a lot of DC is, the writing is cute and fun, and the characters and their interactions are all enjoyable. My biggest complaint towards it is that there are certain moments referencing memes that immediately feel dated, and the yearbook stuff has worn out it's welcome.
