>The "Marvel Avengers Academy" mobile game reimagines Earth's Mightiest Heroes as students developing their superpowers under the supervision of Nick Fury. However, it turns out the age of the characters isn't the only thing that's different in the game's world.
>In the "British Invasion" limited event now unfolding, players can recruit classic Marvel Comics characters Captain Britain and Union Jack to help stop the Black Knight, who's under the thrall of the Ebony Blade. While the Black Knight's tortured relationship with the cursed sword is nothing new, a revelation by Union Jack certainly is: In "Avengers Academy," the British hero is gay.

Ew.
I thought they were all gay.
Marvel is so progressive I think I'll send them $5
What the fuck even is this Avengers Academy game? Something for girls age 10 to 14? It sounds like a teenagers highschool AU fanfiction.
There's a long and historic tradition of ruggedly muscular, upper-class patriotic and frightfully queer superheroes and bad-arses on these fair isles of Albion and, by Christ and King, I won't hear a word against it from you god-damned colonial yanks.
Look at Lawrence, for God's sake. The man was Alexandrian.
This isn't even a story it's a whatever. I guess CBR is getting desperate.
when will marvel step off the diversity train?
>>83877293
You're not far off.
>>83877189
That game is one of the least canon products Marvel is putting out, so it doesn't really affect 616 UJ.
>There is no agenda nerds!
>O..ok so there is an agenda. BUT SO WHAT?
When will this fag pandering end? I thought the Supreme Court forced everyone to accept gay marriage already. There isn't anything left other than literal thought policing for those special snowflake queers.

Stop being so gay
are people really annoyed by this? He has been gay for a long time, hasn't he?
SO BRAVE

>>83877189
So is there any iteration of Union Jack that's interesting enough that I should care about this?
>make a useless side character gay
>still can't make Wasp/Jess date
>>83877436
Can you even date him in the game?
>>83877507
People like you are the reason why shit like orlando happens.
>all these people who didn't know Brian Falsworth's been gay for ages
Wew
>>83877558
aww don't worry timmy. Soon there will be no guns.
And more gays.
>>83877507
>(((((((
Anyone else getting this? Has my coincidence detector malfunctioned?
>>83877485
If they made this a dating game marvel could make serious cash. This game is already a money sink. You could mirco-transact the shit outa nerds wanting to date their waifu/husbando

>>83877338
Why is it allowed to exist?
>>83877507
Shut up faggot.
Weren't Union Jack and Destroyer confirmed as a gay couple in the late 70's? Why is everyone so up in arms about it?
>>83877638
>A Marvel college AU dating sim
>Make your own donut steel and fuck your way through the Avengers
I'd play it.

And we will continue doing this. Enjoy your ride. It will end eventually. :^)
>>83877674
>Why is it allowed to exist?
Money.
I played it for a bit. It was a cute little time waster. Build buildings, wait or spend money to speed it up, recruit characters, send them on jobs, get little bits of story here and there.
Then they start spitting out characters for $10 a pop every couple weeks.
>>83877189
I'm surprised he's not Muslim.
I actually really like his characterization in this game. They made him a superpowered James Bond with crazy gadgets.
>>83877704
Yes. Where the fuck is all of this outrage coming from?
>>83877674
>Shut up faggot.

I'm glad it's not Chapman.
Less chance of it bleeding into the comics.

Yep. It will. We keep getting Presidents that allow extremists into the country.

There's hints in game that the whole universe is Kamala Khan's fanfiction.
>>83877320
Saturday is a slow news day
>>83877980
The British character has been gay for ages, you dumb tripfag.
who isn't gay nowadays anyway?
>>83877604
Fuck that. I want gays WITH guns.
>>83877562
I'm a filthy casual, but I had no idea who the fuck he was in the first place. But in game, he's fucking great.
>>83877311
I needed to borrow a local australian to translate what the fuck you said. Message recieved. Shine on you crazy diamonds.
>>83877704
Destroyer as in Drax? Or the Thor thing?
>>83877189
"British" "super heroes" from American companies are gay as fuck since always. News at 11.
>>83877980
It's funny because the stereotypical flamer and the stereotypical american are near-identical.
>run around flapping their arms screeching ohmigawd at everything
>>83877638
......fuck, I'd be one of those losers.
>I'm gay
I bet everyone else is happy to see him too
gay is british for happy right?
>>83877189
but this is accurate
>>83877562
I'm so glad somebody already posted this, I thought I was gonna have to. Why is this even a story?
>>83877604
>Taking away America's guns
Fucking try it, faggot, and see what happens.
>>83878084
>Destroyer as in Drax? Or the Thor thing?
Neither.
>>83877485
Loki has already asked him out and is being tsundere as fuck.
>>83877189
Is this Chapman or Falsworth?
>>83878735
Falsworth
>>83878735
The fag one.
>>83878735
The one that actually was gay. So the confusion is interesting.
>>83877189
For one, fuck you america for making the English guy gay.
For two black knight has never been the bad guy what is this BS.
>>83879397
Falsworth has been gay since the 70s.
Black Knight is under th influence of his sword, he becomes a good guy after you release him.
>>83879397
>For two black knight has never been the bad guy
Except for the one who was a Master of Evil, and the racist one that attacked Wakanda, and there's also that whole Ebony Blade curse now making you evil thing.
>>83879397
>making the English guy gay
English are gay by default
>>83877189
I thought that the second Union Jack was always gay anyway?
Or am I just misremembering here?
Huh, I've been consuming casual shit for so long that, combined with my desire for interactive Marvel stuff, that I am far more interested than I should be.
Are X-23 and Jessica Jones in the game?
>>83879579
The first one was always gay. The second one isn't. This is the first one.
>>83879568
this desu
>>83879602
No mutie scum
>>83879602
>Are X-23 and Jessica Jones in the game?
They're steering clear of muties so far, so no X-23 yet, but they did promise Jessica Jones some time soon.
>>83879602
No. The game only came out 4 months ago and there have been monthly events. Here's the current list: http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Marvel_Avengers_Academy
Hawkeye, Tigra, Hulk, and Thor are coming soon.
>>83879397
You could always shell out for Braddock if you want a straight English dude. Motherfucker is dashing as hell.
>>83879621
Brian is the second Union Jack. His dad was the first.
>>83877507
faggot
Who is /maag/ here?
>>83879621
So what you're saying is that this isn't even news and that both those trying to hold it up as a progressive win and those trying to frame it as SJW's shitting on a character don't know what they're talking about?
>>83879839
I know. Totally caved for him on the first day.
>>83879842
Nailed it.
>>83879621
You're forgetting about the Original Original Union Jack, who fought in World War 1 and passed the title off to his gay son, then took it back after a fatal car accident, then passed it along to Joey Chapman after vampire shenanigans.
>>83877189
Is he Brian? Brian was retcon gay rightm At least the same way Shatterstar and Rictor were.
>>83879842
That is exactly what's happening.
>>83877791
From people who don't read comics.
>>83879901
I thought Brian was married to a woman.
>>83879666
Well, that's something at least.
>Loki (First appearance) (Joins Team)
Well, there's the first step towards them turning MCU Loki into an Avenger, if they can keep him contracted. I always suspected that his new popularity might end up making it happen.
>literal propaganda to get progressive liberals to vote to stay in the UK
Disgusting
>>83879951
That Jack Falsworth was, Brian was gay and then there was Joe Chapman who was dating Spitfire who was Jack's daughter and Brian's sister.
>>83879951
You're thinking of Brian Braddock. Brian Falsworth is the gay.
>>83877375
I mean...you can be an angry sack all you want, but...it's not like there's a common thread in recent news right or anything
IS HE A POOF?
>>83877189
Maybe I'd care if Union Jack was anything more than a D lister
>>83877858
This, Falsworth was just a crap american stereotype of brits.
Haven't played this game in a while. What's been happening?is Wasp still thirsty for the Pym Pecker
>>83880393
Wasp is thirsty for everyone
>people on both sides just assume gay characters they've never seen before used to be straight
I don't know why this is so funny to me
>>83880393
Wasp threatens to destroy every new student.
Bucky is emo guitarist.
XBone is the new best boy.
Fury told all his secrets to a dog with crown.
Loki told all his secrets to the same dog.
Tony still tries to force his cheese on every new chick.
Oh neat! I actually just got a voice acting gig for this game.
>>83880393
More Hawkguy teasing.
>>83880393
Surprisingly, Wasp turned out to be by far the most aggressive character, both in romance (there's barely a male student she hasn't hit on or openly thirsted for) and in battle.
She even became BFFs with Crossbones after impressing him with her ability to wreck shit.
>>83881464For what character?Assuming you're not bullshitting.
>>83881959Electro, there were audition calls sent out to some casting sites that called for a bunch of Spiderman characters like Venom, Green Goblin, and Spider-Ham so I'm assuming that's gonna be a patch soonAlso, spoiler tags are fun
>>83882066Yeah, there's a Sinister Six/Spiderverse event coming up some time soon.
Also, those characters having voices is pretty cool news since it probably means they'll be recruitable. I think most people were assuming the Sinister Six themselves wouldn't be recruitable.
When's Squirrel Girl?
>>83882185
Not any time soon.
>>83877858
>Less chance of it bleeding into the comics.
He was gay in the comics first, dumbass
>>83882582
Falsworth was gay, not Chapman.
>>83877189
>britbongs are faggots
How appropriate
>>83882650
Brian is the one in the game
>>83882769
That's my point.
>>83882846
I don't understand your point. Are you worried they'll have him come back somehow? It sounded like you thought they made Chapman gay in the game so you were worried they'd make him gay in the comics.
>>83881889
What an wasted opportunity to vent out my OTP of Hawkeye/Davey Boy Smith.
>>83882971
First the guy at >>83877858 said he was glad they didn't make Chapman gay.
Then >>83882582 claimed he was gay in the comics first.
Which is wrong, since Chapman was never gay, only Falsworth was, which I pointed out here >>83882650.
>>83883047
oh we're just saying the same shit then, my bad
>>83877988
That'd be amazing if it was true
I think I ship it.
Help me, /co/.
>>83883938
Right now it's the only gay ship in the game that makes some kind of canon sense, since Loki is bi and Brian is gay.
I don't think you need any help. You just need more gay/bi characters, so you have more than one way to ship them.
>>83879901
Brian Falsworth is the only Union Jack who get's into the games, Joey 'milf hunter' Chapman always gets the shaft.
>>83883991
Loki is far more than bi, he will fuck practically anything.
1 out of 3 brits I've met have been gay so it's not terribly surprising
>>83883938
it's probably the best of the plot-forced ships followed by Cap/Enchantress
>>83884053
It's different for gods.
>>83884053
It's different for gods.
>>83884067
I was all set to hook up Loki and Nebula once dating started up and here Brian comes in and ruins that. Fucking TinyCo.
Oh shit, this came out?
Is Cap best boy?
>>83877419
Joseph Chapman, the blue collar Union Jack, who fucked his best friend's mom while vampires where out to make said friend into the new baron blood.
I don't wholly get writing an article about a character no longer available in the game.
>>83884147
Cap could be better. They need to fix his recorded voice, it's very muffled like they never uploaded the high quality clips.
>>83884147
It's been out for months.
Cap is pretty good, but the game doesn't give him nearly as much attention as it gives Tony and Loki.
>>83884240
A lot of voices have started to get like that lately, they need to fix that shit.
>>83884288
I'm still mad that they manage to find the time to replace the voices of guys like ant-Man and Spider-Man with worse versions, but they can't replace Cap's low-quality voice from the beta with something decent.
This is really slow news.
>>83884288
Seriously, they do a lot of weird shit with voices.
I just happy Jane Lane grew up, left Lawndale and joined Hydra.
>>83884347
so slow the character isn't available in the game anymore
>>83877311
Devlin!
Now there's a REAL English gentleman adventurer and committed homosexualist.
That pretender up above looks like a bloody chav.
He's probably just saying he's gay for some benefits blag and free cider off the old fruit who lives near the paki shop.
Declined Waugh is a true hero and a bummer through and through.
God bless that queen!
>they make the british hero gay
did the developers get NTR'd by brits or something to create this much butthurt?
>>83885328
Read the thread, you nerd.
>>83877189
How progressive.
>>83885450
My dick is pretty solid.
Hard even.
>>83885266
>He's probably just saying he's gay for some benefits blag
Cock sucking is a reward in and of itself, though
>>83877988
>>83881889
>>83883938
>>83885450
This game looks like absolute shit.
>>83885685
Well, it's a phone game.
>>83885685
It's not really a game. Like there's no actual gameplay.
The dialogue is pretty good though.
>>83881889
>Hawkguy
Ewwww
Anyone have the Zemo screens?
>>83887339
>>83887315
we don't know what he'll look like at every stage yet, it's possible he levels up into his iconic costume
probably just Hawkguy though
>>83877189
With all the gay representation in comics, when will they start introducing gays who are pozzed?
One in five gay men are pozzed, that should mean at least one in five gay male characters as well
>>83877704
>Weren't Union Jack and Destroyer confirmed as a gay couple in the late 70's? Why is everyone so up in arms about it?
Technically it was only revealed in TBs during the 90s. Supposedly it was only hinted by the then writer Roy Thomas on Invaders during the 70s.
>>83888390
/co/ confirmed for not even reading comics enough to keep up to date with the 90's? Say it ain't so....
>>83879666
Need Luke Cage and Iron Fist soon
>>83877189
>"Avengers Academy" mobile game introduces the Gaybong Invasion
ftfy but what a late article.
>>83879677
any idea if Squirrel Girl is coming any time soon?
>>83882204
do we at least have a design for her yet?
>>83887526
wonder if they'll add a Citizen V costume for Zemo in the future?
Britain is gay lmao
>>83877189
with all the gay characters in comics now, when are more of them going to start coming out as hiv positive?
1 out of 5 gay men has hiv, that should be a lot of comics characters now
>>83877189
GOD FUCKING DAMIT MARVEL
you have existing gay heros use them.
>>83877562
even if he was always gay its still immoral to use that fact to push your proudct
>>83877189
DROPPED.
>>83878793
you could write it off as people not bothering to check there facts before they get outraged but with marvels history of turning characters homosexual in the last few years its a reasonable assumption that they have done it again.
>>83892752
that's literally what they did here
>>83881889
see Morrison thats how you do meta right
>>83883991
poor jack so few choices for romantic partners he has to go with freaking loki
>>83884240
>I don't wholly get writing an article about a character no longer available in the game.
wait why would you remove a character from a game
>>83893185
There are events in the game with characters tied to them. He was only available until the 15th. They might offer him again later but anyone who plays the game starting today because of this news can't get him so it's dumb to write about it.
>>83893029
yeah having read the thread i feel retarded for saying that now
still with all the recent shit marvel has been pulling its not unexpected that people would jump to conclusions
>>83893242
ah i see
>>83885685
It's a garbage phone game. But the writing is still better than half the shit out of the big two right now.
>>83892092
>wonder if they'll add a Citizen V costume for Zemo in the future?
It's cheap to make, and they can get people to spend money on it
.
>>83893155
Hey, the fujioshis have loki as top teir shipping materials.
Sounds right to me. Better off if they are gay, otherwise we should castrate them.
Anglos should never breed, ever. It should be american policy to chop off the balls of every angloman that comes into the country.
>>83882204
Damn. I hope they focus on her New Avengers character rather than her Unbeatable one. Would overall rather they just use her GLA character, but they'll probably keep it modern.
>>83877189
>Look guys a Marvel character is gay
OP every Marvel character is gay. It's the only way to stop the lashings they receive from social networking sites.
>>83896681
I want Chavez to get dicked so hard she becomes a meek housewife.
>>83896935
I want her to get dicked so hard she spends her free time in public toilets sucking dudes off for food.
Good thing I didn't reinstall that shit after sending my phone for repairs. Last time I 'played' was during the GotG event. Does the events still require you to pay cash for currency for a specific event?
>>83877189
Hey Marvel, you know what'd be really progressive and controversial? Adding some mutants.
>>83897523
heh
>>83897442
>Does the events still require you to pay cash for currency for a specific event?
Some stuff really does need money, like for instance in the Civil War event if you wanted Sif you have to pay to get her. Same with Captain Britain in the current event.
>>83884147
No, he's cap, so he's a stupid cunt
>>83896739
shouldn't spidey be like a toddler/elementary student or something?
>>83896681
I want to see a dude saying "I"ve seen the way you look at me. You're not that gay." and not be portraited as a villain/pig.
Then i'll just grab some popcorn and enjoy watching the shitstorm that would ensue.
>>83897794
He's Tony's intern
>>83897523
Mutants? In a school where they're learning to use superpowers? That's just silly.

I visited London for the first time the day after the Supreme Court ruled Gay Marriage legal in the US.
The entire goddamn city was drunk of it's ass at mid-day, people were naked in the streets, could barely make it to my hotel through the masses of people.
You're a fag nation, an island of queers, get over it already.
>>83899983
Thanks.
Yeah, I get they are playing separation until the Inhumans flop horrifically, and they bite the bullet and buy the rights back.
In twenty years, as I approach fifty, I'll sit in the cinema and watch whatever passes for an Avengers lineup then clash or team up with the recast original X-Men team and have one thought.
"Shit, no X-23. And Jackman played a better Wolverine."
>>83901589
Someone asked TinyCo a while ago and the response was stated in a way that made it seem like they can't even use Wanda in this game because of the mutant connection. It's pure bullshit that's not even solely related to legal rights. Marvel could allow them in video games if they wanted, they are just being petty.
>>83877293
>It sounds like a teenagers highschool AU fanfiction.
It is quite literally Kamala's teenage highschool AU fanfiction.
>>83877791
/pol/ doesn't read comics.
>>83877638
They said at launch that a dating mode would be added but that was months ago and still nothing.
>>83901871
They fucked up with the character distribution. At this point they can't do dating unless they allow non-canon sexualities since there aren't enough girls to pair everyone up.
>>83901898
Unless they do a bunch of waifu updates soon. Just dump a bunch in at once.
>>83877189
Why is everyone outraged by this? How is this even a revelation?
Newsflash casuals: Falsworth has been gay for decades. Pretty sure he was Marvel's first gay superhero at that.
>>83877399
Yeah, he's always been British.
>>83901971
It's bait and /pol/ bit.
>>83893242
Jesus christ, this is definitely slow news, in more ways than one.
