I know some idiots have tried to blame marvel for "SJW pandering" even though most retailers are basically screaming at marvel to stop relaunching everything, having constant events and putting out so many books.

It really doesn’t help that some of the writing on those so labeled books are just pure unmitigated bum. If you can make “Iron Man’s protégé goes into the future and meets him as a future space wizard dictator” boring. Then there is something going horribly wrong.

Editorial seems to have up and hosed off too. America (Chavez) has had a number if obvious joke letters comparing the book to The Room (which isn’t an unfair assessment but that’s besides the point) and I’ve seen all sorts of weird issues (typos, word balloons not completely filled in) in the second series of Ms. Marvel (having really enjoyed the first one) that could have easily been caught by someone doing a pass through.

And then there’s the writers’ egos all spilling out on social media. I’m no HR scion but if someone under my employ posted even half of the poo poo Slott and Rivera (amongst others) have they wouldn’t just be fired, they’d be the type of fired that has them immediately marched off the premises amd their things mailed 2nd class in jiffy bags.

Makes it easy to pass over the new Marvel books on the way to Supersons, the IDW comics and manga is all I’m saying.

I really want to like Squirrel Girl's comic, but that art is really hard to deal with.

I just read Gwenpool and Squirrel Girl, those are fun books that stand by themselves. If I learned anything about comics is that reading stuff that ties into the newest mega-saga is stupid. Super Sons is good too.

I’d be happy to leave it at that but vol 2 of the current run of Ms Marvel is called “Civil War 2” which kinda leaves me up the creak and facing down a whole lot of idiot Carol Danvers.

Its kind of astonishing how being part of one event basically sucked the joy out of Ms Marvel for half a year. Its only recently found its footing again.
Turns out ironicaly making the fan favorite muslim character part of a scheme to make precog gitmo as devised by Carol Danvers was a bad idea who could have guessed?

What the hell have they done to Kamala when I wasn't looking.

In not so many words Inhuman with Precog stand shows up. Carol, stupid fuckup she is, goes “yeah, we should totally use this guy to jail people before they commit crimes”.

Iron Man, having been on that rodeo ten years prior, knows better and thus Idiot War 2 begins.

Kamala gets dragged into Fuckup’s side of the war and ends up with her friend blowing himself up in a botched attempt to bomb Precog Gitmo which she was in charge of in a moment I swear everyone at Marvel thought was super clever but given the target demo, really isn’t.

Then Kamala, sick of Carol’s and everyone’s poo poo (Which lead to Banner’s assassination by (a) Hawkeye) forms the champions who go on to be in a middling at best facsimile of the Teen Titans who do absolutely nothing of import during SE.

But Captain Marvel is the best hero ever, the comics told me so!

Carol Danvers being "the best hero ever" in the marvel universe is much like how YHVH being an omni-dispot in the universes of the SMT games works.

It is a symptom of something having gone very, very, wrong with the universe.

Are they all super mad about the Fire Emblem characters using swords

Like, y'know, pretty much every fantasy character
If Alm shows up as another counter-sword I swear to christ...

RareAcumen posted:

I still don't get why swords bother everyone so much. Smash Bros doesn't have an extremely diverse selection of weaponry. If you're not using a sword then you're unarmed 85% of the time. There're outliers like Peach, Ness, Lucas, and Bowser Jr.'s Smash attacks or Fox's blaster but by and large most people go unarmed or use a sword because swords are pretty much always the go to weapon of incredible power.
It's less that and more that 3/4 of the FE characters default to having a Down B counter and that is boring

Togashi has some bad back issues but he's also quite lackadaisical regarding his schedule despite that, which I can't hold against him considering how mangakas are treated overall.

Between the return of HxH meaning the cancellation of another (often fledgling) comic and the impression Chimera Ant arc left as a bunch of self important finger wagging about humanity being the real monster I’m not a fan.

I’m certainly not to the point of pure seething spite Pat’s at but I’ve had stuff I’ve liked be sacrificed to the god king of chicken scratches and it does not feel great.

They had a really cool concept design for Kat who looked like she would have been more in-line with previous DMC girls, but instead they went with the boring damsel in distress girl.



Given what she does in story and with what that was probably for the “best”
