Jordan7hm posted:Everything Millar ever wrote has always been terrible, but he helped his co-creators get paid in a way very few others who made it to Hollywood did. Sad to see him lean in to this trash. I've had the thought for a while that most of the movies based on Millar's work have had a number of positive changes made in the process, so it might make more sense to cut out the middle man and just have Matthew Vaughn write the drat comics. thetoughestbean posted:Man, the cover for that book is just awful.

I'm not sure about the legalities there, but I'm not sure you have to lend your face to the cover of what's almost certainly libel.

Even a big part of the people interested - which isn't that much - aren't going to actually read the book.

From Mark Waid's Facebook:quote:Gail is too modest to talk about how much help she gave Mark early in his career and how generous she was with her ideas and her talent...which makes it even more disgusting that he's promoting actual attacks on her. Unforgiveable. But if I had to guess, of the two, whose name will still be known and respected 30 years from now, I'd bet on Gail's.

That book is so weird, like just from the cover. Do these people not realize that Simone is highly responsible for a lot of the characterization of Deadpool in current media? Do they not realize Kelly Sue is married to Fraction or do they believe he's not "woke" and just puts up with her? Like I have so many questions. I know it's just that Simone and DeConnick are the most vocal now so that why they're the targets but how do you write a whole loving book about this poo poo? On a related note I looked a little into Liefeld's dumb turn and I mean firstly saying he doesn't remember backlash to Miles Morales and then looking at the comments and it's straight gamergate strategy gaslighting of "it's about making spider-man a different character, not that it's an afro-latino." I feel dumber even looking into it.

The thing is, even if he wasn't clearly lying here, he's still on the record agreeing with all the cg people and their sentiments that Gail et al. are destroying comics by being woke? How is that conversation even going? "Hey Gail, I think you suck and having females in comics is evil, but you misunderstand, I'm not advocating a book that says exactly that!"

The one in which they were mocking DC's Invasion event! Wow, that was a thing. Yeah, it was a funny one-off, and ; I recall his art being a bit off-model but not terrible, which suited the cartoonish style. I mean, if I remember correctly the main threat is the aliens dropping a Jean-netic bomb that is just a clone of Jean Grey and wrecks every relationship on the planet.

If Millar endorses the term “cancel pig” then surely he has an equal term for those on the other side of the ideological sphere, I can’t wait to see what it is

I read just about everything Brian Wood did for a period in the early 2010s and that introduced me to a bunch of great artists and other creators. Immediately dropped him in 2013 after the Fowler allegations and honestly have given him the least amount of thought I could for a long time. Sucks to see he fell down the even shittier hole.
