All at the same time. Does Marvel just not like their silver-age characters or something? Like any one of those things could be totally fine, but all the same fucking time?

You know what made Marvel a great comic book company? The creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. So why are they shitting all over the creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee?

>>84486271
With this argument, there is a problem. That problem is that everyone just gets tired of this shit. If they know that they are getting shit then they know not to buy it. I mean, as much as we hate Bendis and Aaron, I honestly think that in less than a decade they are going to be considered similar to Todd Mcfarlane, Rob Liefield and Mark Millar. Guys who made a few decent stories but lost their steam, resulting in them crashing and burning.
>>
>>84486301
I'm not saying Tony was literally turned into a fifteen year old black girl.

But a fifteen year old black girl is now taking up the mantle and becomming Iron Man.

Also, should she be Iron Girl, or Iron Woman or something?

>>84486304

I actually don't mind Aaron's run on Thor is one of the few Marvel books I'm still reading because it feels like it's actually going somewhere.

Bendis lost me... A LONG fucking time ago.
>>
>>84486336
No because she must identify as a man to make a Transgender representation.
>>
>>84486215
>Given the Hammer to Jane Foster
Thor is getting his own hammer and we have had comics set in the future with Thor having the hammer after Jane dies.

>Made Captain America a member of Hydra
Considering Cap's hydra status depends on Kobik thing Hydra are the good guys, it probably won't last long. Or She will make Hydra into actual good guys/

>Turned Iron Man into a fifteen year old black girl
We also got Iron Doom, and until we get the circumstances of Tony's death shown it wont be clear how long it will last.

>Are planning on killing the X-Men
Says who? Scott is the only X-man to die so far. Plus I'm pretty sure the X-men hold the record for coming back to life. Death is basically a time out for them.
>>
>>84486336
Aaron... To be quite frank, the biggest problem that I have with his books is that they have three things, which unless done well, I am not a big fan of.

The first thing is of course, pets. Characters who he makes a 'big deal' despite the fact that a lot of them time, they are neither likable or 'powerful' enough to be considered anything above average.

The second thing is shilling. If you read his books, all of his protagonists are complimented as being 'good people', even if they aren't or the compliments are idiotic.

The third and final, is a lack of understanding pf who he is writing. Although, it's not as bad as someone like Bendis, Aaron ultimately misses the point of people like the magical community, X-Men and the Asgardians. Instead, he pushes a version of them that ultimately contradictory to most of the things that were written before him.

>>84486304
>That problem is that everyone just gets tired of this shit.

That's why they keep relaunching. And honestly, there was a very huge warning sign last year around when they did All-New All-Different Marvel, where many of the second issue dropoffs dipped below the pre-relaunch levels.
>>
>>84486634
Amen to this. The big appeal with Marvel when I started reading round about 2008, buying the essential editions was that ultimately, they didn't need to or had to relaunch like DC. They for the most part had a solid world with rules and a continuous story, where errors were addressed.

The use of continuity and serious stories (For the most part) is what I think attracted most of the real fans to Marvel.

I honestly think that after this decade, Marvel will return to it's routes as darker universe for a consistent law and this overt Political Correctness culture shit will slowly die and be viewed as an embarrassing period in Marvel's history.

>>84486215
>Killed The Hulk
That was stupid, yes. I'd be willing to bet that's all on Bendis, though.
>Given the Hammer to Jane Foster
This isn't conceptually a bad thing, just in implementation. If they're giving the Thor hammer and name to someone else, I'm glad it's a character with a connection to him.
>Made Captain America a member of Hydra
Just like when they made Spider-Man into Doctor Octopus? It's a temporary hook. He'll be back to normal pretty soon.
>Turned Iron Man into a fifteen year old black girl
Wouldn't necessarily be bad if it wasn't being written by Bendis. Isn't she going to be in Champions?
>Are planning on killing the X-Men
This is also dumb.
tl;dr most of these things are fine and crippled by bad writing more than anything else. The status quo shouldn't stay static at all times.
>>
>>84486755
>Isn't she going to be in Champions?
I thought Champions was cancelled
>>
>>84486707

This is the OP posting again.

Something I will say for Marvel's benefit is that they used to do "down to earth" stories much better than DC did. I don't mean realistic, I mean in the sense that a lot of peoples' favorite Marvel characters aren't on the Avengers; they're people like:

>Spider-Man
>Daredevil
>X-Men (remember that the X-Men were made to answer the Teen Titans, not the Justice League)
>Punisher
>Power Man and Iron Fist
>etc

And DC did the big hitters and these grand sweeping stories a lot better (minus early Galactus stuff). But nowadays Marvel's trying to do these massive bullshit events which have sucked ever since (and including) Civil War.

I hope you're right. I hope we can see Spider-Man comics (Peter or Miles) where he has to worry about fighting Doc Oc and whether he's going to make it too his date on time. Or Daredevil stories where he's working hard on a case but also has to fight crime and hasn't slept in days. That's what's GOOD about Marvel. Embrace that shit again!
>>
>>84486766
It's not even out yet.
>>
>>84486766
You're thinking of Contest of Champions with the Battleword stuff. That book got cancelled. Champions is the new Marvel NOW 2.0 book with Tyke, the Avengers kid trio, Chulk, and Viv from Vision. No Riri in that group, but I guess she can always make an appearance down the line as she's of a similar age to all of them.
>>
>>84486819
Is Champions not Contest of Champions?
>>
>>84486215

>Killed Hank Pym and replaced him with a gay Pakistani-American
>Introduced a new, Slav Wasp

But in their defense.

Why can't this happen?

In real life, people don't keep doing the same job for 50+ years. And they certainly don't DIE, only to come back a few months to a few years later to the exact same job.

>>84486236

They already have disgraced and killed Cyplops.
And they are in the process of mutant genocide.

Which, given what the X-men were supposed to represent, is extra-icky.

We get it. Inhumans are superior plus we have the movie rights to them (which I STILL don't get because the Inhumans were introduced in the Fantastic Four, just like Ronan the Accuser), so the mutants have to die.

It's sick.
>>
>>84486301

They also did it to the Punisher... for about five minutes.
Oh and the Beetle, as Mach-5, I think.

>>84486336

>Which, given what the X-men were supposed to represent, is extra-icky.
It's hilarious that they're pushing a group that's the result of eugenics as their new "oppressed gay and black metaphor" group.
Just hold onto the fact that we'll inevitably get a "Rise of X" event when they finally decide that it's not worth shitting on the X-Men so much and bring them back.
>>
>>84486448

It would be interesting. Imagine if there wasn't a single male white hero in the Marvel universe. You could make it an event!

"Where will you be... when the White Plague strikes?"
(Poster of black heroes and heroines of all colors looking down with horror and grief at all the while heroes dying at their feet)
"WHITE"
"LIVES"
"MATTER"
Those words, pasted across a splash of an iconic white hero, Piéta-style in the arms of a colored hero or a heroine.
There is only one mysterious survivor (probably Captain America) setting it up for the counter-event, eighteen months later: "WHITE LIGHT". Turns out it's all the plan of the Red Skull, the Red Skull's black supremacist counterpart of a race-swapped universe. Cap - 616 Cap - sacrifices himself to bring everybody back, and is succeeded by his counterpart from the race-swapped universe (T'Charra, aka Chieftain Africa).
>>
>>84486215
>Are planning on killing the X-Men

>In real life, people don't keep doing the same job for 50+ years. And they certainly don't DIE, only to come back a few months to a few years later to the exact same job.

I love the idea of legacy characters and mantles being passed down but randomly introducing a brand new diverse character and handing off the mantle instantly to them is dumb.

If Dick Grayson was introduced then 2 issues later he was Batman people probably wouldn't like Dick. But years of him as Robin and Nightwing then eventually becoming Batman felt great to read you saw the character grow into the roll. You grow to like them so when the time comes for them to take over your happy you don't wake up one morning see news saying LOOK THE NEW IRON MAN IS A BLACK TEENAGE GIRL WHOS SMARTER THAN TONY SHES JUST HE BEST.

Yes! It should be done BETTER!

HAVE Robin grow up and eventually become Batman, or maybe Owlman, or Nighthawk! Or maybe do things completely differently!

>>84486937

Yes, but they weren't groomed for their roles. Cho was the brainy side-kick without obvious anger issues. Jane was never a warrior. And the Falcon was his own man. As if Captain America was an honor, a promotion. He was really demoted to a kid sidekick, retroactively, which was a huge step back.
>>
>>84487019
>Yes, but they weren't groomed for their roles.
Does that matter?
Cho's always idolized the Hulk, and he's got a very different attitude to being the Hulk. It felt like an organic transition to me.
Jane's acting as Thor more out of a sense of duty and not letting Earth want to go without Thor than anything. I'm not going to defend the writing though
Cap's always been one of the most prominent and inspirational roles in the MU. I'm calling bullshit on it not being an honor or promotion; it'd be that for ANYONE. Falcon's as fitting a character as any to take up the shield.
A character doesn't have to be a kid sidekick for them to feel natural as a successor.
>>
>>84486215
>You know what made Marvel a great comic book company? The creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. So why are they shitting all over the creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee?

No, this made them a good company. That stuff is fun, but it's not great. Byrne, Claremont, Buscema, Defalco, Silverstri, Stern and so on, they made Marvel great and lifted it from cartoon tier to at least novella tier.

Marvel thinks they're too big to fail and can experiment and get even more people buying. Prove them wrong by not buying.

I can just point the current Marvel runs as proof of Marvel losing sales to Manga like One Piece.

Honestly, why can't Marvel just rip-off manga entirely instead of these shitty gimmicks?
>>
>>84487154

The fact Marvel has next to know comics numbered past 20 should tell you their current business model. They don't want to do what manga is doing with any of their titles, it's so stupid.
>>
>>84486785
Honestly, if Marvel actually stopped to look at what comics have been received the best in the last few years, like Hawkeye, Superior Foes and Vision, they'd realize all of them are CHARACTER STORIES, with small, personal stakes and focused on a small, core cast (with a lot of cameos in Superior Foes, to be fair).

Nobody who's been reading comics for a while goes "man, Infinity is the best comic ever! I really loved when the interchangeable cosmic character solved the alien invasion in one page!"

The second problem is what OP originally pointed out: The reason people loved Marvel is for its characters. The reason Marvel isn't selling as well anymore is because they've forgotten that, and keep trying to reinvent the wheel, instead of finding good creative teams and giving them fan-favorites. This is the only thing that works in the long-run: the X-Men were and are popular not because of renumberings and making fans angry, but because Claremont spent nearly two decades telling engaging stories.

Are any of these new diverse spins any good aside from Miles and Kamala?

>>
>>84486215

In my oppinion, Marvel should stop the universal mega-important events shit where every comic has to surpass the previous one in terms of shock.

They should focus on more mature, human stories that are small in scale, and instead of cramming all characters into 25 pages they should just have occasional cameos by other characters like they did in times of old.

It adds richness to the universe and characters, that's why X-men, Hulk, Spiderman, Daredevil, Avengers, Fantastic Four etc.... all have universes of their own, with their own characteristic places and secondary characters and enemies.

Now it's all a shitfest
>>
>>84487228

...Even though Civil War II is COMPLETELY ignoring that.

>>84487260

I had never seen that.

Any particular reason they're not using white skintone?
>>
>>84487226
Cho-Hulk is a lot of fun, X23 Wolverine is pretty decent, Captain Marvel: Agent of Alpha Flight is good, Sam-Nova's a lot better than butthurt Richfags would have you believe, Silk (not a legacy but a newish diverse character) is good.
The only bad "Diverse Legacy" character/book is Miles, as long as we're not counting shit like Angela or Hellcat or Mockingbird, which aren't legacies.
>>
>>84486336
>Tony was literally turned into a fifteen year old black girl
Now thats something Id read

The bottom line is that controversy and gimmicks make more headlines and seem to sell more comic books than... y'know... good comic books.

At least, that's the case with the industry in the current state that it's in. Maybe if things were healthier all around, people would care more about the actual content of what they're looking at than whether or not it got talked about on The View or got a blurb in USA Today or some shit.

But it's a lot easier to do something flashy like kill to the Hulk or have Tony Stark recruit a teen girl to replace himself than rehabilitate an industry that has been a stanky shadow of it's former glory for approaching 30 years.
>>
>>84487306
Also, it leads to supervillains being underutilized. In Fraction's Hawkeye you have a cabal of all the major mob bosses show up and it's basically a nuisance. 20 years ago, a story where the Kingpin, Viper, Madame Masque, and the Owl all teamed-up would be a major event, not a wacky side-adventure.

When's the last time Iron Man fought the Titanium Man, Cap went against the Serpent Society, stuff like that? Everything is MAJOR EARTHSHATTERING STUFF nowadays.
>>
>>84486271

He's kinda stupid.

The shock factor only works the first two or three times.

Then fans will stop buying because they're tired,

If they tell you X character dies you buy, but if 50 other characters die too you just dont care anymore,

Compare for example the massive success of the death of Captain Marvel to the shitty sales of Marvel now killing off everyone like nothing.
>>
>>84486879
Most of the new mutants are included in the killing you dipshit.

>>84487209
It's a mix of breevorts little controversy outlook that keeps getting reposted and them not being cognizant of their "successes".

The well received books don't do well, according to him, so they want little controversies. The problem is the biggest controversy in the country right now is race and gender (and a general disdain for one particular gender in one particular race).

So they create the controversy by doing the obvious. Problem is "new readers" don't exist and the only readers they have are the ones represented by the characters they've gotten rid of.

>>84487478

"Lost" tried to do the very same thing with killing Jack in episode 1 or 2 of the series. The writers of the show loved Psycho and Misery which have shocking misdirection and try to copy this. Its why so many movies are boring is because the writers lack the sense of what really is misdirection, what is frustrating and just straight up telling the story, no misleads. It's being copied a lot these days. Trying for depth, or twists or more, when really less would do it.

On the other hand I'm amazed at the reaction this thread has gotten. I just wanted to RIP Bruce and rant a little about how Marvel is screwing the pouch at the moment, which makes me sad because I probably love more Marvel characters than DC characters even though my fave character is a DC one.

But my favorite Marvel character has been not so great ever since Hell's Kitchen got filled with yuppies IRL.

You know how people refer to the men who came of age during WW1 as the 'lost generation'? If a similiar WW1 style event occured, no one would mourn the passing of the countless millions died, because they are all nothing but chaff, nothing but simpering retards without a single worthwhile thought bouncing in that ornament of a head. of anything, the world would be BETTER at such loss of life, because it would severely cut the population levels down.

Don't forget, Captain America's black and can fly now because he's the Falcon.

Ms Marvel's a muslim, because we're sensitive.

Squirrel Girl is a reincarnation of Archie's Moose posing as a trangender pig.

Spider-Man's mexican (or whatever, I don't know, I can't keep up)

The Fantastic Four are missing in action, except for the Thing who hangs out with Kitty Pryde in space and married Star Lord, and the Human Torch who cucked Black Bolt.

Wolverine's dead longer than usual, although his son came back, and Sabretooth is still around even though he's been killed off lots.

The X-Kids are here, although they haven't fucked up the timeline yet, somehow.

Loki was a chick at some stage.

She-Hulk has a sword for some reason.

The Hulk is now Amadeus Cho, because Bruce thought it would be a good idea to give him Hulk powers.

No story lasts past 6 issues before the universe needs rebooting.

Gwen Stacy is alive and somehow has super powers.

I think Uncle Ben is a maniac depressive omnisexual with a penchant for obese multi-penised gay bears, but I could be wrong about that.

We still don't know why Thor isn't worthy to lift Mjolnir because nobody at Marvel has enough talent to think of an original story.

Everyone there lifts Greg Land's porn tracings.

Scott Summers is a terrorist, worse than Magneto.

Namor had his head ripped off, so he was dead for a few minutes. It really choked me up for a second.

Everything's all new and all different yet still the same old crap but with a different color for the Greg Land tracings.

There are new adjectives in front of the titles of a lot of books. Because that's exciting, apparently.

If you want a job as an artist at Marvel, make sure you can hold at least three pencils in your anus, because you'll probably be given multiple books to draw. If you're a writer, make sure you can jam a lot of feces in your urethra before ejaculating on the page and scrawling the letters 'SJW' with your dick. Even if you're a womyn.

Because I started reading comics in the early 90s. My three favorite superheroes are Batman, Daredevil, and Wolverine.

I got given my father's and uncles' old Marvel comics by actual Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and I ate that shit up! Reading the first appearance of Galactus and the Silver Surfer was fucking amazing! Plus, I don't know if that was the first time the Watcher actually appeared, but it was the first time I saw him and I was like "this is great!".

Marvel lost a lot of respect from me when Quesada said Nick Fury and Logan can't smoke. Because while I understand that you don't want kids looking up to characters that smoke you don't want kids looking up to Nick Fury and Wolverine in any case, plus they're both literally immune to the bad effects of smoking!

I'm pretty sure the only reason DC has constantly made Jim Gordan smoke even now is to stick it into Quesada's eye!

But both have the potential for greatness because their characters are fucking great and there are countless stories still to be told. And I want BOTH companies to do well.

Also, RIP my fave Avenger.

Does Marvel just not like their silver-age characters or something? Like any one of those things could be totally fine, but all the same fucking time? You know what made Marvel a great comic book company? The creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. So why are they shitting all over the creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee?

Silver Age Marvel is one of the few comic book experiences that I can go back to time and again and lose myself in the adventure. They absolutely captured lightning in a bottle back then and if I had a time machine, I would love to back to the halycon days of mid to late 60's Marvel just to see people's reactions to things like Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Avengers, Tales Of Suspense, and Tales To Astonish

So lets get this right - Marvel has:

>Replaced Steve Rogers with a stereotypical gung-ho action movie character
>Given the Hammer to a random everyday dude
>Turned Iron Man into a black former marine
>Have blown up the X Mansion and have the X-Men living in the Austrailian Outback

All at the same time. Does Marvel just not like their silver-age characters or something? Like any one of those things could be totally fine, but all the same fucking time?

You know what made Marvel a great comic book company? The creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. So why are they shitting all over the creations of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee?

>Newfag retards need to leave /co/. The Big 2 do this roughly every 15-20 years to shake up the status quo and get publicity.
>See Marvel in the late 80s (Rhodey was Iron Man, John Walker was Cap, Eric Masterson was Thor, etc) or DC in the mid 90s (Dead Supes, AzBats, Hal Jordan bad guy, Barry Allen dead, etc)

>The status quo is back within 2 years at most and usually timed with a big movie release
>Y'all morons.
>>
>>84488373
But those inconsistencies could be explained. I mean, look at the infamous Avengers #200, Carol acted completely out of character there and went to another universe.

When she made a reappearance though, her inconstant character was explained.

And I mean, up to Teen Tony, Stark had a pretty solid personality. He was an exceptionally emotional man who put his morals before the law and obviously still had quite a few issues from his past which he covered up with a facade of a playboy.

It was up until Civil War and the Bendis/Illuminati era that the entire character fell flat on it's face. Not only was Tony turned into Bush, ignoring all of his previous interactions and realizing that the government and organizations like SHIELD was corrupt as fuck and could not be trusted.

The shit part of everything is that most character derailments are either due to Millar or Bendis, both of whom are still working in Marvel for some reason that I cannot understand.
>>
>>84487498
the only reason Extraordinary X-Men sells lsightly better than Uncanny is that Marvel said "that it the flagship book", so collector fags who buy the most important books get that one instead of Uncanny.
If they had said Uncanny is the flagship it would be the best selling one, and the difference in sales between both books is very small.

It is strange because Hellboy has always being in a state of changing status quo for the last decades.

But nobody complain about it like they complain about Marvel and in other scale, DC.

Nobody ask for Hellboy to come back to BPRD ir they will stop buying comics.

I wonder how much of this is just nostalgia faggotory tgat can't accept characters growing up with the time line and affecting the world around them...and how much of it is just SHIT execution by Marvel that makes it all feel unnatural and forced, as a cheap gimick.

Sad thing is that Millar's version of Tony works with prior characerization, as it's based almost entirely on his need for control and placing his personal morals at the forefront. The places it takes him don't really jive with prior stories, but you can still see that Millar was working with Tony's basic personality and motivations.

>>84489145
I think the real issue is that they're not developing Riri as her own character. She's basically Tony's underling.
>>
>>84489325
Im not opposed by change, because comics are always changing. But it is like you said, execution. They dont give a fuck if it makes sense or good for the characters in the long run. They are literally pissing away everything at this point.
>>84489372
True, but another part of it is their history. Marvel will pretend shes some great new character, her public interest will drop in a few weeks, and they'll ditch her/put her in minor books like the dozens of other OCs they have zero idea what to do with already. How many carbon copies are we going to go through? Hell Spider Man alone is guilty of this to an absurd degree

If they can't, or won't distinguish her, she'll never succeed. It's just half-assing it.

But I can also safely say that the frequently repeated offences of this kind of bullshit was the prime reason for why I left western cape comics almost entirely, in favor of eastern manga.

>>
NEVER buy ongoing comics

ALWAYS wait until a run's been vetted or reviewed, then read it

NEVER buy event garbage

ALWAYS read a synopsis on Wikipedia after the fact and be glad you didn't waste time or money on it

Not all events are bad. Forever Evil was a lot of fun!

I stopped giving Marvel my money mid-Onslaught.

>>84486215
But turning Cap Hydra actually makes sense and is part of what seems like a decent storyline, it's just that fan are idiots and didn't wait to see the hook before they rioted.

Everything else you said is true.

My issue isn't any one of these particular things.

It's the fact that ALL of them are happening at the same time.

Seriously, it's like the low point of 90s comics all over again.

>>84501027
Ultimates
Vision but it's ending
The Unbelievable Gwenpool

I hope you're all reading Rebirth right now, it's the exact opposite of what Marvel is doing.

Instead of replacing all of their characters, they're bringing them back and putting in a shit-ton of effort into making them good again. Batman, Superman, Hal Jordan, ect.

Hell, they've even got Chinese Superman going on and that looks fucking amazing so far (At least, the Rebirth issue was good.).

Maybe Marvel will go back to being good someday, but I doubt it. Marvel Comics has become nothing but a source for the movies, whereas DC actually puts effort into their comics.

If you could assassinate 3 people at Marvel, who would you take out?

>Quesada
>Slott
>Bendis
The trifecta of fucking Spider-Man in the ass have to go.
>>
>>84502059
Quesada
Brevoot or however you spell it
Bendis
>>
>>84502059
Slott, Bendis and Stan Lee.

Slott because he's fucking awful, Bendis because no shit, and Stan Lee so that I can take his powers and become the new Elder God of Marvel.

I think the problem that Marvel is having that DC isn't (at least, as much) is that Marvel treats their heroes as mantles and not the people that they are. The Hulk IS Bruce Banner, a once in a gazillion scientific whoopsie. Bruce Banner is the Hulk. The Hulk isn't a title to be bestowed on randoms willy-nillly. Thor is the guy, not the title. Iron Man is the guy, not the suit to be passed around like a party favour.

This is why people rage when creative doesn't treat characters correctly or appropriately. Riri could have very easily been a child prodigy, very easily been a mentee or sidekick, very easily been an engineer and protege, but Riri can NOT be Iron Man. Let her be Iron Girl or Ferro Lass, but never Iron Man.

My father loved Marvel comics, especially Spider-Man, X-Men, and Ghost Rider.

I'm glad that he's dead.
He didn't live to see this shitty company ruin his favorite heroes.
>>
>>84502209
I think you're right. Batman is always Bruce Wayne, Superman is always Clark Kent, and even Chinese Superman is clearly established to be a separate person from Superman, and done well.

The only ones who are treated like mantles are the ones that ARE mantles, such as the Green Lanterns and Flash. There have been at least Four flashes, maybe five now, and at least that many Green Lanterns, so it makes sense new Green Lanterns or Flashes would exist.

I think DC is going to continue being better than Marvel because they understand this. They make good characters, and their new characters are different, not just new faces taking the name of old favorites.

Branding, my friends! Branding! The hero as a distinct individual is an outmoded concept! What is required now is a mask, a SYMBOL, a recognizable concept distilled down to its most familiar elements that can be draped over an ENDLESS SERIES of interchangeable protagonists! Yes! A procession of TREND-CHASING CHAMPIONS dressed up as palpable abstractions of the obsolete do-gooders of yesteryear! Creativity and HUMANITY are hindrances to profit! Sell, sell, sell! Give them what they think they want, but never what they need! You don't owe your customers that which is genuine and REAL, you owe them the lie they're paying for!

I hope all the x-men dont die, pixie is the only welsh hero.
Also your forgetting she-hulk and war machine.

>>84501859

I am. I've been more of a DC person since Civil War came out because it was trash. I'm loving Rebirth at the moment!

Mangas are extremely emotional, anon. Literally for adolescents who cant or wont control their emotions, and want to see characters doing the same thing. Characters wich only description is literally their ability and posing in specific manners.

And then you have the high school dramas. Mangas are not to be ripped off by american comics.

Nah, but he was pretty fucking badass from basically Brubaker's run into AvX.

I even bought a Cyclops shirt.

You're a fucking dipshit if you think they are literally killing all mutants.

>>84503471
>How did this happen?
she calls herself scarlet witch
witches were historically/folklorically prosecuted for basically knowing things men didn't and having powers men didn't

someone decided now would be a good time to do a run focusing on the idea of womens secret knowledge
it doesn't really draw any conclusions its just wanda traveling around the world talking to different witches, sometimes helping them, sometimes fighting them

Idiot.
Do you even know what the New Mutants are?

Idiot.
Take pride in your discussion contributions and use capitalization where appropriate.

Marvel hasn't got a decent event in way longer than DC, secret wars had like a couple of decent tie-in issues but is shit compared to Fear Itself and that event was just decent but it had way better tie ins

It's a DC mole working to destroy the company from the inside.

My bad. I literally thought it was the other way around.

Still the X-Men were made as a "teen" team.

Fuck off with this bullshit meme.

Do you understand that nearly every superhero in Marvel or DC would be left-wing in some way or another.

They're literally providing a service at no cost. Superman doesn't charge people money when he saves them. That doesn't sound like "free market American Capitalism. Sounds like communism."

Barring Steve Ditko pretty much every comic book creator for the big two has been left-wing in some way or another. And comics have been commenting on political shit forever.

No. That's retarded.

Because right wind people are obviously incapable of charity.

There was a township in the Midwest a decade ago that elected into office some conservatives who "pivatized" the fire department and stopped collecting taxes for it, instead they signed people up for "the Fire Department service" at a higher price, and using town equipment, and then when someone's house was burning down they checked their billing lists before any rescue of those burning children inside.
Not everyone who's house caught fire had signed up. They let those fires burn wild.
THAT is what Right Wing heroics look like.

You're /pol/ bullshit is what it is, and some people on /co/ WILL occasionally call you out on it.
Don't like it? use another board for your /pol/ bullshit.
