I think there's a lot of resentment against "the big 2" out there. Maybe they just think he's a sellout.

It's about time for you to just get on board with the fact that you're on the wrong side of this. It doesn't matter what your interpretation of the verse is. It doesn't matter what anyone's interpretation of the verse is. The only thing that matters is the fact that it was used to further the message of a political movement that has no place being presented in these books. The religion part isn't the problem here, it's the political movement that's being pushed here that is the problem. It's been explained in depth by people with more knowledge on this issue than you or I. The artist goofed up, admitted what and why did what he did, and now he's paying the price that is fair for his actions. End of story.

The only side I'm on is that all these people proclaiming that this is hate speech are idiots. Yet they can't seem to stop proclaiming over and over how terrible it is. :) See below. I don't know what the "standard response" is to an artist throwing a subtle reference to something they care about into a work, but I don't think they usually get fired until some idiot starts calling marvel accusing them of hate crimes.


No it's not. you are wrong and dumb. But this isn't the place

It's a group calling for the removal of a governor in Indonesia because he's Christian and using that passage as justification not just for that but putting him on trial for blasphemy. What else is that but blind intolerance?

So turns out in the Renew Your Vows universe Logan is married to Jean and they have a daughter.

For some context for the RYW universe

The Civil War never happened in this universe because Xavier and the Avengers are like super cops who watch over heroes and potential heroes so they won't gently caress up, so the SHRA would never happen. That's why Charles went looking for Annie May. This pissed off Cyclops, because he doesn't think Chuck should be one of the top cops of America, Jean took Chuck's side and they broke up for good, so she married Logan.

Oh man I loved X-Men Blue. I think I liked it even more than I did X-Men Gold and that was quite a lot. I'm really happy that Hank is still trying to go with this magic thing. I don't think it's going to lead anywhere good and I love that. We all knew he was going to be in the book but the reveal of Magneto was done really well. I'm glad Bunn gets to continue writing him as he's done really well with the character. Also good to see the Jimmy Hudson stuff at the end. Can't wait to find out if this is a previously unknown 616 version of the character or if it's another 1610 transplant.

quote:

'' But, Marvel's got Disney. Jewish so touched, so there is no mercy, '' he said.
also translated as "But Marvel is owned by Disney. When Jews are offended, there is no mercy." So uh.

I would not be surprised in the least, but that's not terribly relevant to The Walt Disney Company in 2017, which is run by a Jewish man.

Oh, I know, I just thought it was sort of funny to note that he's complaining about Disney when Walt Disney himself had this reputation. It's not really relevant, as you say.

The "C'mon, stop scaring them, they're just kids" line is kinda foreshadowing in giant neon highlights that she'll decide he's taking it too far and turn against Magneto at the last second to save Annie/Shine etc etc.

Given enough time and space and apologies I could have seen him maybe being given a chance again to draw. Not at Marvel but perhaps DC since he had a decent tenure there and probably still has some good contacts there. But nope. Not now. If his career wasn't totally dead before it drat sure is now.

Maybe when you're accused of inserting messages of religious intolerance and ask to be forgiven your first move shouldn't be to blame the Jews. Just spitballing here though. I've never been in the position myself so who am I to give advice?
