Oh kek
It's self-parody at this point.
>Thankfully because of my involvement in the creation of Miles Morales and Jessica Jones and some other characters, it’s getting the benefit of the doubt from even the most surly fans.
>>84297251
>>Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis talks the creation of Riri Williams, who will take over for Tony Stark
>There’s a new Iron Man. Well, Iron Man for now. She’s still working on the name. The events at the end of the comic book event series Civil War II will result in Tony Stark stepping out of the Iron Man suit and a new character, Riri Williams, taking over, Marvel tells TIME. (Note: Tony’s departure doesn’t mean you know the end to Civil War II yet.)
>Riri is a science genius who enrolls in MIT at the age of 15. She comes to the attention of Tony when she builds her own Iron Man suit in her dorm. Creator and Iron Man writer Brian Michael Bendis spoke exclusively to TIME about the creation of Riri Williams with book artist Stefano Caselli and Marvel’s increasingly diverse cast of characters.
>>TIME: How did you come up with the character of Riri Williams?
>Bendis: One of the things that stuck with me when I was working in Chicago a couple of years ago on a TV show that didn’t end up airing was the amount of chaos and violence. And this story of this brilliant, young woman whose life was marred by tragedy that could have easily ended her life—just random street violence—and went off to college was very inspiring to me. I thought that was the most modern version of a superhero or superheroine story I had ever heard. And I sat with it for awhile until I had the right character and the right place.
>As we’ve been slowly and hopefully very organically adding all these new characters to the Marvel Universe, it just seemed that sort of violence inspiring a young hero to rise up and act, and using her science acumen, her natural born abilities that are still raw but so ahead of where even Tony Stark was at that age, was very exciting to me.
>>What have we seen of her so far in the Iron Man comics?
>>84297251
Jesus christ Bendis, those tumblr memes were a joke, not an actual suggestion.
>>84297251
isn't this considered black face?
having white characters put on black facade
>>84297251
Are books going to relaunch every 12 issues now. This shit is laugh out loud funny
>Thankfully because of my involvement in the creation of Miles Morales and Jessica Jones and some other characters, it’s getting the benefit of the doubt from even the most surly fans. There are fans who say, “Show us the new stuff,” and then there are fans who say, “Don’t do anything different from when I was a kid.” So when you’re introducing new characters, you’re always going to have people getting paranoid about us ruining their childhood.
>I’ve been down this road with Miles Morales, Jessica Jones, Maria Hill. I knew I was in good hands with Mike Deodato and other artists who are helping visualize Riri.
What a twat.
>>84297298
>In the latest issue of Iron Man, Tony is in a lab talking to himself, and he’s already aware that there’s some student at M.I.T. that’s reverse-engineered one of his old armors all by herself in her dorm room. He’s aware of her immediately.
>>What’s been the reception of the character so far (before this announcement)?
>Thankfully because of my involvement in the creation of Miles Morales and Jessica Jones and some other characters, it’s getting the benefit of the doubt from even the most surly fans. There are fans who say, “Show us the new stuff,” and then there are fans who say, “Don’t do anything different from when I was a kid.” So when you’re introducing new characters, you’re always going to have people getting paranoid about us ruining their childhood.
>I’ve been down this road with Miles Morales, Jessica Jones, Maria Hill. I knew I was in good hands with Mike Deodato and other artists who are helping visualize Riri.
>>Marvel Comics’ diverse new cast has stirred some controversy among a subset of fans.
>Some of the comments online, I don’t think people even realize how racist they sound. I’m not saying if you criticize you’re a racist, but if someone writes, “Why do we need Riri Williams we already have Miles?” that’s a weird thing to say. They’re individuals just like Captain America and Cyclops are individuals. All I can do is state my case for the character, and maybe they’ll realize over time that that’s not the most progressive thinking.
>But increasingly we see less and less of that. Once Miles hit, and Kamala Khan hit and female Thor hit—there was a part of an audience crawling through the desert looking for an oasis when it came to representation, and now that it’s here, you’ll go online and be greeted with this wave of love.
>>84297251
Wait, if she is Iron Man, why did they kill off War Machine?
This is fucking pathetic.
>300k first issue due to 50 variants
>50k second issue
>30k third issue
>>84297318
>I think what’s most important is that the character is created in an organic setting. We never had a meeting saying, “we need to create this character.” It’s inspired by the world around me and not seeing that represented enough in popular culture.
>>Why did it take so long to turn the Avengers from a team of mostly white dudes into a more diverse array of characters?
>Talking to any of the older creators, it’s the thing they said they wish they’d done more of—reflecting the world around them. It just wasn’t where the world was at at that time. Now, when you have a young woman come up to you at a signing and say how happy she is to be represented in his universe, you know you’re moving in the right direction.
>>I don’t want to spoil anything for fans—
>More people are going to be upset that they think they know the ending to Civil War II now than anything we just talked about. But I can tell you just because we’re hearing what we’re saying doesn’t know you mean how Civil War II ends. We’re not telling you the end, at all.
>>What led Tony Stark to a place where he’s stepping out of the suit?
>We’re in the middle of a very big Tony Stark storyline—actually three storylines converging. His best friend died, his company is collapsing and he’s finding out who his biological parents were all at the same time. That’s stressful for a character who is wired the way Tony is wired and has dependency issues the way Tony does.
>Tony is also a master at not paying attention to the thing that’s most important and distracting himself with Avengers stuff. How that all shakes out such that Tony is no longer in the armor? You’ll have to wait to find out for the end of Civil War II. But it does create a path or Riri Williams, who Tony will know and will be interacting with very shortly in the comics.
>>How do they meet?
>>84297316
The worst thing about bendis is his unbelievable love affair with deodato.
>>84297298
>>>Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis talks the creation of Riri Williams, who will take over for Tony Stark
>>There’s a new Iron Man. Well, Iron Man for now. She’s still working on the name.
So... Doom got cucked and won't be ANAD Iron Man?
>>84297251
Did you do 30, do thirty-one, Bendis, make her also gay.
>>84297330
>One of the things Tony does to distract himself from all the things going on in his life is he goes to find this young woman who is flying around the middle of America in an armor that’s not completely made to try to find out what her deal is.
>>It’s hard to subtly fly around in Iron Man armor.
>You imagine that Tony has Iron Man armor on his Google Alerts.
>He’s also aware that this young woman is flying by him in terms of how quickly she’s doing it. Her brain is maybe a little better than his. She looks at things from a different perspective that makes the armor unique. He can’t help but go maybe I should buy her out.
>>Caselli to be fucking wasted to hell

Its like...Marvel draws so little black wmen in their comics that they havent learned how to do it outside the 70s
>>84297313
12 issues and annual.
Based Marvel, treating comics like TV show seasons.
>>84297321
Because Bendis thought Rhodey was gonna die in the movie.
I'm not even sure if I'm joking or not.
>>84297334
Doom might be the team leader of the various armor heroes
Apart from the shit, ridiculously annoying stereotype earrings, what's wrong with it?

He really has. It's just kind of gotten very silly.
>>84297251

>>84297358
Nothing, we're just casually racist.
>>84297251
I was going to try to start up a troll hash-tag about how She-Hulk should just become the Hulk, but Bendis actually took it even further than I could have imagined.
Wow.
Holy shit, fuck Marvel so hard.
DAMNIT MARVEL STOP PROVING /pol/ RIGHT EVERY CHANCE YOU GET

Stop fucking mansplaining
Have you ever stopped and wondered, "How will this current era of comics be remembered +50 years from now? What will it be referred to as? When will it end?"
>>84297393
That is how one of my sister's hair works. Don't bully.
>>84297393
That's fair. I would love to see a nice hair-style on her, too.
>>84297358
Race/sex swapping for is ALWAYS done to a white male?
Bald faced PC pandering?
>>84297411
Disney won't give a shit. The movies are all that matter. The comics barely make enough money needed to buy the cheetah blood to fuel their private harem planes.
>>84297412
you clearly don't know how hair works in real life.
>>84297358
She is Bendis adopted daugther
>>84297251
OK, I’ve been absolutely fine with just about every one of Marvel’s character changes so far.
But this is just... why not just make an alt. universe now?
>>84297323

Hahaha, serves those fuckers right.
>>84297349

Is Tony gonna be War Machine then?
>>84297429
People hardly remember anything from 5 years ago.
>>84297412
When she takes it off for a few panels it has a pushed together look and it gradually reverts back to her native style
>>84297321
>>84297350
I thought it was because we were not seen as progressive enough and sjws will now pander to another group.
one day...
Well, I was fucking wrong when I thought Tony was untouchable due to RDJ and the movies
>>84297441
I know I have short male hair and it CONSTANTLY gets snagged in my fucking headphones. And I'm imagining that times one hundred and surrounding the entire head.
Will International Iron Man continue? Place your bets!
>>84297465
Looks like Bendis' BLACKED fetish is stronger than his Tony Stark fanboyism.
>>84297471
It is a robot suit that flies and shoots lasers it can handle bad hair
>>84297251
Well at least she's not War Machine. I'd be more pissed if Bendis had been setting her up to replace Rhodey
It still feels a bit like a zero sum gain of black characters.
SO WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS, IF SHE'S THE NEW IRON"""""MAN""""", WHY IS WAR MACHINE DEAD? This is bullshit
So women are called men now?
>>84297484
It stops moment we see Tony's mom is Jew.
>>84297502

I'm going to go a little different and bitch about all the kids in comics.
Do kids even read comics? The only people I know who read comics are all over 40 and steadily giving up on it. None have been able to get their kids closer to comics than passing interest in MCU movies.
>>84297502
Sure. Men is also used to describe humans in general.
>Black being the default go to race when making a change in character
As a latino I never want to hear black fans complain about representation again because at this point blacks are the white people of minority groups.
Now we have to deal with black slacktavist going "so woke""yaaaaassssss""black girl magic" etc...on social media
>>84297502

You know, it'd be interesting to see an original heroine who pretends to be a man when she's a super hero for the sake of secret identity or whatever.
But not this shit.
>>84297512
It is the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 2016
I don't know what I find funnier; Marvel having Tony step down a year after making him the new face of the company, or Bendis replacing a big hero with a black OC for the second time in five years.
How long before Carol kills her, too?

even asians don't give three shits about being represented unless it's some butthurt over stereotypes or asian show adaptations.

Are black "fans" complaining? I keep hearing about these "fans" and "controversies" and they always seem to come from a few tumblr blogs and no one else seems to give a shit, but the rest are sacked with the blame anyway and current representation still isn't enough. There were even anons shitting on successfully adapted non-white characters and oc's.
>>84297251

>>84297368
While it wouldn't be ideal, if it gets Bendis to stop pushing for Kamiles I can live with it.

Remember that there are two Iron Man books. International and Invincible. Presumably Doom will be the "iron man" of one with Riri being the "iron man" of the other.

lol no, secondary moviefags don't count. I nor any of my friends who read comics, ever wanted or cared about representation.
Hilarious. Pretty soon all big name Marvel superheroes will be non-whites, and none of them will have a personality, because none of these writers are really thinking about the characters they're making.
Also, why the fuck do most black women in Marvel look like they just walked out of the 80's? How long has it been since these writers I interacted with actual human beings?

>>84297702
Probably wanting a more distinct look to characters so those that have straightened or braided hair look less different than ones with natural poofy big.

It's fucking Bendis Iron Man with Deodato on art. No one here was buying it back when it was Tony Stark. I don't give a shit about some Bendis OC taking over the book, hell it might even make the book better, but it's still Bendis/Deodato Iron Man no matter who the protagonist is and that's something I could not give less of a shit about.
Iron Man books are almost always bad. Modern Bendis books are almost always bad.

He said that it would take all the buzz away and he was 100% right. You didn't have every news station in the country doing a news piece on Rebirth. You did for HYDRA Cap. He was just making an accurate prediction.

But Thor's book sold extremely high. That's likely what inspired all the rest.
Well... they very clearly know what they're doing, is all I can really think. This is actually so nutty that even though I haven't touched many of the comics of the last year, I'm going to check this out. It takes some pretty serious gall, and I wanna know if it's worth it.

Fuck off.
>>84297954
Bruno spent the entire first run of the comic pining for Kamala and now has a girlfriend.
How did you get the idea he was gay?
>>84297926
rekt
>>84297931
>Any chance it'll be good?
>Bendis Iron Man
Fuck no. It wasn't good when Tony was the lead and I highly doubt it'll be good now that Bendis' latest OC is the lead.
>>84297999
Someone posted a panel with a Bruno look alike and a confession scene not long ago.
>>84297532
So like a reverse Cybersix then?
>>84297289
Bendis is so out of touch with reality. The minute he took over writing IM I stopped caring about the character.
>>84297881
>These cringy as fuck gifs
Jesus christ.
>>84297744
Well, so far it is!
>>84297251
It's like they want to kill what little of their comics fan base remains.
>>84297997
The character defines the character, and Cho isn't defined by his race. Maybe actually read Totally Awesome Hulk or go back and read Pak's Incredible Hulk and Incredible Hercules.
>>84298024
But muh samurai robots, Doomquest and handsome Victor!
>>84298032
Why did you care about the character before that? He's been garbage for decades.
>>84297342
>her brain is a little better....
Yeah...that isn't a thing.
>>84297251
You see, minority characters are not successful on their own merit, so they have to make already popular characters into minorities.
Never mind the fact that stark was already a spic. He was a strong masculine character and no black woman would ever be able to compete without taking over the famous title.
That said, these comics usually get an initial rush of support from SJW goy who think that giving their shekels to Marvel is making a difference for real life minorities. This inevitably tapers off as there is no genuine interest in these comics that only server to promote the cultural Marxist propaganda which they already subscribe and therefore are easily bored with due to the lack of genuine entertainment value to supplement these gimmicks.
WE WUZ IRON MANS N SHIT
>>84297251
What will it take to make you man-children put down your picture books and pick up your zyklon b?
>>84298051
The first arc was entirely OK, but the second Marquez got replaced by Deodato it became almost unreadable, which just goes to show that Bendis coasts completely off of the artists.
>>84297289
I like how he forgot that Rhodes existed and replaced him with a generic black girl.
>>84297342
Wait, Caselli is the artist for the book?! GOD DAMMIT.
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.
First Pichelli then Schiti now Caselli? Stop taking my favorite artists for your vanity projects Bendis! STOP IT!
>>84297445
Because SJW's would see it as segregation.
>>84297251
I'm so glad I stopped reading anything Marvel related more than 2 years ago.
>>84297984
>Gave it more depth and color
kek
>Tony’s departure doesn’t mean you know the end to Civil War II yet.
>>84297886
They've also been on him for his tokenish dialogue and Marvel for having a lack of PoC on creative teams
>>84297298
>organically
This will never be anything but contrived. This will go down as one of the greatest historical comicbook blunders.
I predict that one year into the Trump presidency, Marvel will reboot all of these titles and return to the original characters.
>>84297251
Give her to someone thats not bendis pls
>>84298074
>different character under the armor keeping the torch/franchise. If it's new to you, read a comic book written in the last 50 years.
More like five years in Marvel's case.
>>84298071
lol Rhodes is dead
>>84298104
Remember when Nixon was a villain? If Trump becomes president, he'll be a stock villain who gets his privilege checked on a regular basis.
>>84298062
Well black people could say that since a black person was iron man in the 1970s and 80s.
>>84298054
Busiek Chen run was aces in 99-01. Grell run gets a bad rap. Then Ellis extremis arc was neat, it came out in the 04-05 I think. Iron Man hasn't been good since CW really. I thought Tom Taylor was finally fixing the character before Secret War ruined it.
>>84297251
>Riri Williams
I thought it was Misty for a second. Also, isn't Riri a bit of a racist name, Brian Michael?
>>84297881
i giggled a bit
>>84298115
Oh I forgot battle for the cowl was a marvel book within the last 5 years and blue beetle too
>>84297531
HERE'S MY SUNDAY BEST
>>84298104
Yeah. This is pretty clearly just the death-throes of the leftists who have conned their way into positions of power within Marvel. Cuckbama may encourage this shit, but it's not going to fly once Based Trump takes office.
>>84298066
Artists and characters he writes. Give him Hercules and see sales tank.
>>84297649
even if hair has a lot of 'volume', something like 95% of it is still air
I have 25cm long curly hair, and it fits nicely in a fucking swimming cap if need be
>>84298150
>that buttblasted cuck who keeps calling him a racist
>>84298134
I'm afraid I'm not that old and haven't happened to have read those, but that's interesting.
>>84298152
That's my point, it's been popular in DC but never in Marvel until quite recently.
>>84297678
Jesus Christ, they want to take a good character and turn them into a generic fanfiction.
>>84297881
I like how Twitter is slower and more confusing to navigate than it was four years ago when I actually used it.
>>84298162
Not that they have any direct involvement. I just thing that, as you said, SJWs are a dying trend and there won't be as much of a market for this stuff much longer.
>>84298152
He's saying that Marvel has never done a legacy character before 2011, not that only Marvel has ever done legacy characters.
Which is still complete bullshit, since Marvel has been doing legacy characters since the 60s. Not as often as with DC, but legacy characters are hardly something new for them.
>>84297251
So rather than making her an interesting character who just happened to be black and female, her entire character is that she is black and female.
God job Generation SJW.
>putting the iron man suit into the hands of a 15 year old girl
I was actually liking this run of Ironman. Well guess i'm not gonna buy them anymore.
>>84298175
Yeah, it was after Watergate, turned out Nixon was the leader of a super-secret evil order that was running things from behind the scenes. Steve quit being Captain America and became Nomad.
And I'm not that old either, saw it in a documentary.
>>84298176
>never in Marvel until quite recently
FUCK YOU MARVEL
>>84298176
not fooling some with the temporary bs, marvel
>>84298176
Richard Nixon was the leader of the Secret Empire and committed suicide when Cap caught him. I mean Trump already gets shit on even in stuff like Dark Horse Presents, imagine how much shit would be thrown if he actually was elected.
>tfw you get the blame for changes you never asked for that was donefor youin the first placeagain
Cover artist Jeff Dekal confirms it's a relaunch: https://twitter.com/jeffdekal/status/750699039406993408
>>84298229
>>84298244
he said it's never been as popular in marvel anon, can you read?
>>84298204
She's also a thief who cobbled her suit together by stealing stuff from other students experiments.
>>84298204
No, she's IRON MAN, you shitlord!
>>84298170
>cuck
she's a fat black woman used faceswap with a dog
and it didn't made any difference how she looks
WE
Thanks for the white genocide propaganda Mr Shekelburg!
I can't wait for the issue where Tony gets cucked #FeelTheBern
>>84298229
>>84298244
Okay, so I made an error, I apologize. I guess I should've said that Legacy characters aren't as popular in Marvel as they are in DC. I'm sorry, anons.
>>84297313
Yes.
Brevoort believes that comics need to be treated like TV shows and thus every year you need to relaunch them like you would a season in order give readers a "new jumping on point". Of course that gets into the problems of having 4 issue 1's in 4 years with different premises/directions on each one being confusing but, well, Brevoort's not a very smart man.
>>84298253
B-b-but this IS a new character! Tony stark is still gonna exist! :^)
>>84298274
no the guy
>>84298253
This guy is completely right. Only a short matter of years ago, progressives constantly complained about female super heroes just being female versions of male super heroes. Now they're even more literally that, and it's supposed to be a good thing?
>>84297251
I wonder what spin their going to put on it when the sales tank?
>>84297520
I agree with that sentiment, if only for Marvel's history with teen and legacy characters. Sure, things are okay right now (even Mania has popped back up), but Marvel does NOT have a good track record in this department.
>>84298325
>Y'all niggas racsexist
>>84297251
Well, what happened to Luke Cage, Nick Fury, and Black Panther? Were those not good enough black role models? Luke Cage was fucking badass, Nick Fury was badass, and Black Panther was Batman knock off, but was also good at not being bad.
Falcon is okay
Blackwashing isn't okay. I find it racist and degenerate as whitewashing.
>>84298276
That doesn't work when a black person actually was the thing.
>>84298253
But... this is a new character. That's the PROBLEM is that its a new character. Of all the people to take over as Iron Man, it shouldn't be some random OC. Even if you wanted a young black girl to be Iron Man, why not use Rhodey's niece?
>>84297251
At this point I would rather Disney dismantle the whole comics side of marvel and just make a bunch of shitty cartoons or mobile games with the characters, anything would be better than letting it go on the way it's going.
>>84298325
They will just start the comic over within the year, but make it more progressive and blame the readers for the original comic shitting the bed.
>>84298085
please, they're called affinity groups now
So are there any White avengers now?
