HAHAHAH! Awesome! But you know the funny thing; I bet Marvel would actually publish this.

More like they squander the treasury. Thereby flushing the company or country. The actual looters are more opportunists taking advantage of socialism than socialists themselves.

The looters at marvel are the Disney corporation. But Disney bought marvel only for the movie properties. They wanted it for a copyright cash cow to be milked dry and used up. To them marvel isn’t about stories; it’s just a bunch of colorful plastic characters they can shovel into happy meals. They really don’t give a f~~~ what happens with the paper division. It’s a loss leader (at best) as far as Disney is concerned, and can go under completely for all they care. So the people in charge of marvel comics aren’t beholden to make a profit. They aren’t accountable to their customers. Frankly they view their customers with barely concealed contempt. They are free to push whatever s~~~ty political agenda they want, and couldn’t give a f~~~ if that destroys an entire industry and puts mom and pop comic shops across the country out of business.

Marvel isn’t a business to them. It’s a soapbox to shout their bulls~~~ from. And when that fails to be profitable they inevitably blame their customers.

F~~~ marvel.

You guys check out “Diversity & Comics” on YouTube. He does some great reviews of this bulls~~~. But anyway. My current working theory about how this will play out is that after the MCU continues to devolve into SJW nonsense in Phase 4 with Black Panther and Captain marvel the films will begin to collapse under the weight. Once the films are no longer making money Disney will no longer feel like carrying a non-performing subsidiary company and will insist changes be made so that the comics part of Marvel makes a profit. We’ll see how it plays out. But I assure you SJW bulls~~~ is in full swing now with Spider-Man Homecoming.

Funny idea guys, they should make a SJW superhero who fights social justice.

Any ideas for character name and origin story?

It’d have to be…

White Knight

for sure…..rescuing maidens and getting no action in the bedroom in return.. 😛

Nah. They’ll just consider it milked dry and shove it into the Disney Vault, never to be considered again except when suing someone to “protect their intellectual property” or in the occasional attempt at a reboot or costumed lackey at one of the parks.

Think Muppets.

Darkwing Duck is the hero that Marvel don’t deserve, but is the hero that Marvel needs.

unfortunately gaming is at the start of this process but it gives me hope that in a few years it should all reset when games companies realise that pandering to SJWs(who don’t f~~~ing buy anything) causes them to lose money

it will be a rocky few years of gaming but there is a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel after seeing this

agreed

I was looking forward to Black Panther, but after seeing the teaser trailer it is going to have a load of butt kicking wimminz in it so I won’t watch it.

Avengers IW will have Captain Marvel saving the day followed up by Antman + The Wasp (more girl power) and then the Captain Marvel film which will be f~~~ing feminism on steroids.

I can see the films beginning to gain less and less money after that. Sidecar is probably right though – Disney will just dump the whole thing in a vault somewhere never to be seen again.

Star Wars will end up the same way – even the most rabid fans will start to give up on it as this trilogy progresses (Rey is going to be the rebirth of Anakin apparently). Although I can see Disney flogging Star Wars back to Lucas and Co

[Jim01Participant 6678]

Although after my last post I have to add that for any (genuine) Star Wars fan then watch the last 40 minutes of Rogue One….up there with ROJ for action scene but minus the ewoks

Yes. Him, Capn Cummings, Douglas Ernst, and Captain Frugal. All of them made videos were their verbally roast comics.

It’s and SJW/feminsit invasion of once predominately white male nerd interests. That’s all it is. How do I know? I lived it.

Let me assure you, 35 years ago these same people could give zero f~~~s about comics, video games or fantasy. The instant it becomes ‘in’, they claim lifelong fandom and expert status….while at the same time expecting it to instantly change to their liking. They don’t even like the source material.

Exactly. Give me 45 minutes reading a comic or 2 hours in a theater to escape.

If they want diversity, make good new female comics.

They are lazy, lack the talent or both. Mostly the former as bitching is much easier than work.

Beer is correct as it’s happening g in Star Wars as well. I know this well as I’ve been criticizing MaRey for nearly two years now. Any criticism of SJW/female heroes is immediately met with ‘ist’ and ‘phobe’ words.

In the winter of 1980, there was about of foot of snow on the ground while a snowstorm brewed up right before recess. Who was out hanging upside down from the monkey bars pretending to be Luke in the Wampa cave in the middle of a blizzard? Not any of the girls.

Yeah they probably would smh…

SJW platitudes and virtue signaling have really infiltrated every male space. I’ve been a comic book fan for 17 years now, and I’ve seen the decline coming. I knew this day would come the moment Disney bought Marvel’s rights. Disney distorts everything to s~~~.

Thankfully, DC hasn’t gone as quite as PC as Marvel, but f~~~ me marvel has become a PC laden s~~~ hole now…

What p~~~es me off about this, is no need to change the original characters than Stan Lee created. The man is a f~~~ing genius, and created a wide arrange of heroes and villains to suit everyone’s taste. The fact they are changing so many pivotal character to appease SJW pussies is f~~~ing revolting.

Fuck bitches... literally and metaphorically

Meanwhile the independents keep chugging along.

Even better, Stan created characters that his audience could relate to. Even the villains were complex sympathetic characters. But nobody can relate to the one dimensional “strong independent” feminist SJW mary sues they replaced them with.

“They didn’t want female characters out there,” Gabriel told industry outlet ICv2. “That’s what we heard, whether we believe that or not.”

“I don’t know that that’s really true, but that’s what we saw in sales,”

This is the quote that sums it all up. Marvel’s VP of sales is such an ideologically besotted SJW assclown that he doesn’t believe his own sale numbers or his own customers’ feedback. Gabriel then doubles down, because that’s what SJWs always do, and blames his readers from not embracing diverse characters.

Except that’s not what Marvel’s readers said or did.

Marvel’s readers didn’t have a problem with diversity. Marvel’s readers had a problem with decades old characters suddenly being made diverse.

You want a superhero which fills in lots of boxes on some SJW diversity bingo card? Then create a new one instead of re-skinning an old one. Don’t suddenly tell your readers that after 50 years Spiderman is biracial or Thor is a women or some other long established character is something they’ve never been.

There’s a big difference between a black, gay, female, Muslim, or fill-in-the-blank superhero and a superhero who happens to be black, gay, female, Muslim, or fill-in-the-blank, not that SJWs can understand that.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

I just hope they don’t mess with Guardians of the Galaxy. If they try to do that, I hope Rocket blasts a hole in their skull, jk!

Marriage and Divorce for a man is like getting a cactus shoved up your ass. It’s painful with all the spines that go in and it is painful getting all the spines out, meanwhile Wifey gets most of the money, your home, your kids, and practically everything you own.

But again, they weren’t made “diverse”. Turning them all into feminist social justice warrior mary sues is not “diversity”. That’s not what diversity is no matter how hard they try to call it that. Not even close.

[Anonymous 6]

I actually have an idea for a new duo of villains for Marvel to put in one of their comics. They are the gay due of “IST and PHOBE.” IST is a transmaculine gay who fights all things that end in the suffix “ist.” Ist is overweight and preaches body positivity, but also fights the stigma of having an incurable STD. PHOBE is a religious questioning black gay woman who identifies as two spirited and channels the super power of her spirit animal who is a calico cat. These powers include ESP and “emotional intelligence.” IST fights the patriarchy.

This couple is mow married and live in San Francisco and own a candle and incense store as cover. The name the name of the store is “Rainbow Bright!”

[phoenixgod1995Participant 3352]

That would be an interesting read.
