>Wonder Woman is getting her story updated for a new generation by the acclaimed author Grant Morrison next year, in a graphic novel titled "Wonder Woman: Earth One Vol. 1".
>Not only is her origin story going to be a bit different, but her companion, Steve Trevor, is getting a massive update. Grant Morrison explains:
>"Steve Trevor was always sort of this boring, blonde, blue-eyed dude and that just didn’t cut it in the modern world. I wanted some diversity. But I also thought that was a much more potent idea to have Steve Trevor as a Black man. It’s much more powerful in the context of everything that Marston [WW's creator] was doing [in the 1940s] and everything that Wonder Woman is about."
I wish this was just an April 1st joke, but it isn't. Do you agre with him? Also, is there a chance they'll change the Steve Trevor actor for WW's 2017 movie to reflect this new origin?

Nothing, I was just not paying attention and got excited at seeing "black guy" in a Michael Richards post

>diversity
>a black man
Morrison, you cheeky cunt.
>It’s much more powerful in the context of everything that Marston [WW's creator] was doing [in the 1940s] and everything that Wonder Woman is about."
This sounds more like it though, could be interesting as I'm sure Morrison has actually read Marston's stuff and not just a qucik skim of his wiki page.
>>67719752
If he wanted diversity he should of just made her a lesbian. At least that makes sense, 'dude is boring and doesn't cut it in the modern world because I say so' is worthless.
I still don't get why Wondie wants a stronk man instead of some fuccboi. She hates man's world and shit,doesn't she?
Wonder Woman is a strong woman so I'm sure she'll don fine raising her child alone in the future.
>>67719752
Hey, /pol/ is always right, how do you feel about it manchildren?
>>67720315
no, she is curious about man's world. her sisters and mom hate it because of hercules and his raping ways, at least in the comics, and they pretty much think all men are rapists and perverts.
>>67719956
Not again Michael.. Chill out bro!
It's okay lads, it's only in the comics. Only fucking losers read comics anyway.
>>67720247
>Morrison thinks his stuff is better in the context of what Marston was doing than what Marston himself was doing
Morrison is a retard
>>67720481
He will die and her new love interest in modern days will be black
>>67720161
Thank you. My post isn't racist at all. It's about how obvious and shit this "update" is. It's not a creative decision it's obvious and fucking banal.
In some ways, saying "look he's a black guy now!" is fucking racist.
>>67720549
That makes the future black a cuck, though. He'll be getting White Steve's sloppy seconds.
>>67720549
Water is wert.
>>67720569
That's not how it works, Eddie
The cuck is always the first one
>>67720606
Na, Wondie and Steve will have a loving relationship, Steve will have a son called Chad then he'll die. Wondie then marries a black scientist ( :^) ) to be the father to her child and leaves him when Chad is old enough to live on his own, then she ends up with Batman.
So Power Girl, Supergirl and Wonder Woman are all coalburners now
Heh, Wonder Woman, bastion of change
>>67720677
Personally I think it's a step in the right direction but we will only truly even START to be progressive when all super heroes are People of Color, anything else is just half measures.
I already anticipate racists being upset with this, but it really is a step in the right progressive direction.

if modern batman lived in Rotterham he'd fight "asian" rape gangs by beating up japanese and korean men and the evil white cops who allowed shit to happen
I love when /tv/ talks about comics like they know anything.
>>67725320
You know it's not much better on /co/, right?
>>67725422
At least they can understand the concept of an alternate universe.
>>67725320

Fucking wow, DC.
>>67725451
What universe does this take place in? The Dark Worlds? BLACKED Universe?
>>67725609
Earth One.
Except Grant Morrison is the greatest cape writer of his era and is about to save Wonder Woman the same way he did Animal Man, the Doom Patrol, the JLA, the X-Men, the Seven Soldiers, Superman, Batman, the New Gods, etc. and if you disagree remember you're dealing with the man that practically invented meme magic.
>>67725863
some of those were 20 years ago basically
It's like saying Moore's lovecraft nonsense or his shit about Nemo's daughter is good because of his 80s stuff
I'm sorry King Mob became tumblr
Diversity = black guy
Never an asian, or a latino, or a Samoan. When it comes to a diverse male love interest, it just has to be the BBC.
>>67726058
Multiversity and Nameless were great as anything he's done. Action Comics would have been if it wasn't for the artist.
>>67726240
nah sorry he lost his marbles during that crisis and batman nonsense where editors wouldn't tell him his high-concepts schtick became deepak chopra babble with barely any stories or character arcs (and at best he became like a bad dr who writer)
"If we use magick to see we are all one in the holographic quantum state Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey, the more potent bbc reigns supreme"

Meaningless surface level """criticism"""" because you're too stupid to understand a story with a irrelevant inapplicable /pol/ meme thrown in to hide behind.
>>67719752
>DC rebooting every charactarer again.
Damn it, at least mangos know when to "kill" a character and make the comic about their cousin or son or whatever.
MUH DIVERSITY is the new trend in comic books. Not actually because the artists genuinely WANT "diversity", but because these types of gimmicks are the only things that actually generate sales. Tackling controversy, killing off characters, and changing up origins every few months are essential to comic book survival.

I know you can't look at a bird in the sky without getting triggered but I'm grasping to figure out what exactly upsets you so much here.
>>67728133
Go on and tell us how relevant the scene was in that messy soup of a non-story written by a soft lazy-minded idiot who garbles every concept in his washed up bald head.
Morrison's a airhead that blows to the wind of the times.
>>67728406
It was foreshadowing for Multiversity
>>67728406
I used to get mad at Alan Moore for calling him a hack, but now I can kind of see where he's coming from.
>>67728455
same here, i used to like Morrison and Moore a lot and that feud bugged me, but both are pathetic burnout hippies nowadays and it makes me see their previous work differently in hindsight
even before, when i'd hear Morrison going on about how climate change was just "like larvae turning into a cosmic butterfly" just ugh
>>67728711
His run on Batman is very overrated. Al he did was pull obscure from golden age comics and awkwardly try to modernise it.
>>67728451
You're the sort of aids skrillex nerd that made me stop reading his shit, the work was never something in itself, always some bullshit rorsharch test for fans to go "oh it's a trailer building up for the next shit you have to buy to maybe understand this bit" like some McFarlane/Liefeld tier nerds but wanting to look like a hipster caricature
>>67726106
That's what gets me. It wouldn't even be a big deal if they made shit actually DIVERSE. But no, in current year, a room full of nothing but black people is considered "diverse"
>>67728915
yeah with the exception of maybe the first 3 issues of batman&robin it was awful. The differing tones was all off and incoherent and the art and storytelling was some 90s spawn stuff. Complete mess.
>>67729072
"We're going to update this character and they're story"
>Makes one white side-character black and adds in vague terrorism metaphors
Dont worry. Once its released I will personally make Steve white and blonde page by page.
I will upload it to the web and it will be the definitive version. And there is nothing Morrison or reddit can do about it.

This isn't racist at all. Updating doesn't mean turning someone into a black person.
will white boys EVER recover from this?
Man stick to the cuck memes and capeshit cause you anons are pants on the head retarded when it comes to comics.
>>67719956
THAT'S WHAT SO INSANE ABOUT THIS
>>67719752
the thing is if they want to add diversity make WW black not some 2-bit side character

What is the implication here? Is batman going to kill Darren Wilson in this? Is he just going to beat him up? What then? This guy was never charged by the looks of it. If he really had a problem, he should have gone to Commissioner Gordon about it.

Diversity == codeword for "more niggers". Not Hispanics, not Asians, not Slavics, not SE Asians, not actual Africans, but more American/UK niggers.
Been saying this for years and it's getting worse.

He's fallen pretty far from his good days.
I'll always like his Animal Man though.

He is right though, a black character would be more interesting. He can play basketball in his spare time. Maybe he could be at his apartment and put on some RnB. Maybe he'll have a sassy female relative busting his balls.
It's funny, for all the racist shit you see on this board, these guys are the most racist of all.

Morrison thinks Wonder Woman using a sword is wrong because it's phallic imagery.
Even though she and other Amazons use swords in his own story and Marston had Wonder Woman using a sword sometimes too.

Yes, it is. Do you not understand how dialogue (or monologue) is written? Do you not understand vernacular?

I find Flex Mentallo by far his best work and I only read any superhero work of his just hoping he'd continue the meta/ magick thread of that book but he never did anything like that again

Why does "diversity" mean "black American man" 99% of the time?
