I've been invited to a Pathfinder game and the concept of building an Eldtrich Scrapper into Eldritch Knight is almost enough to make me want to say yes.

So this is funny. It's from an August 1969 comic, but see if you can spot some common terrible geek arguments here.

Holy crap you could take that letter, break it down into tweets, address it to Marvel and no one would be the wiser. Like that is a thing that no one would be surprised to see. Nerds never change.

He's right though, antisemitism, anti-latino racism and anti-catholicsm weren't really addressed that much before the 90s and the latter is barely touched at all.

Antisemitism got addressed a lot in the 1950s and 60s by comics writers, just allegorically. That was one of the few "isms" you could protest without it being political. But yeah, I'm remembering that Marvel's most prominent Chinese characters are a mystic manservant and a girl with fireworks powers now, and the latter one only appeared in the 80s.

The sum total of Marvel's Japanese characters that I can remember- a samurai, a bunch of ninja, a guy with a big rising sun flag on his chest, and a minor X-character with power from her ancestors. EDIT: And Psylocke, technically.

They also have Literally Drawn As Bruce Lee, the son of Fu Manchu (no seriously), as well as "the Mandarin" who is honestly something of an embarrassment, and the Immortal Iron Fist, who - wait, no, he's a white guy. But hey they also have, like, half a dozen bit-part supervillains whose powers can be mostly described as various flavours of anti-communist sentiment.

There was also a Chinese hero who was pretty much Multiple Man. Nothing insensitive about a Chinese guy who rapidly multiplies. There was a Chinese character who ended up just being not-Magneto and might have actually been Chinese. It was a really stupid arc and was around the time I stopped reading comics.

Nerds never change. But yeah, "what about these other minorities?" is a bit of concern trolling when the main point is, "lay off white guys and stop making it seem like black people are persecuted." It's not wrong - comics are pretty terrible with racism and sexism! - but it's also incongruous with the rest.

He was Magneto then whoops turns out he was just using his powers to pretend to be magneto pretending to be himself. If that sound blithering stupid Grant Morrison agrees and that's why he stopped writing for Marvel, among other things.

Yeah, he wasn't anything because Marvel dropped the story fast and Joe Quesada was a terrible editor.

Nerds never change. Go on a sports forum or w/e and you'll see the same stuff. It's not confined to nerds. People never change. You'll see these same tired arguments against treating people equitably until you die. Your grandkids will still be reading them when they're old.

Grant Morrison wanted Magneto to be a villain again, builds it up, and then they put a stop to it because they didn't think Magneto should be massacring people. They just sort of moved on and pretended it never happened which was just a bad way of handling a major plot line. EDIT: It was pretty dumb but just about everything in mainstream comics is dumb. It's not like Marvel or DC is putting out Watchmen level writing on the reg and not shamelessly cashing in on superhero deaths.

Magneto even has a huge speech that basically equates to " no matter what this villain does you'll find some way of excusing it so what does it actually matter?" The amazing thing is the turn around time on that poo poo.

Between Skrull imposters and Spider-Clones, Marvel seems good at accidentally building those escape hatches into their universe.

Don't forget that was right before Scarlet Witch going from a trash tier Avenger to the most powerful character in the Marvel U. Her power was pretty much editorial fiat and "things we think would be good for business."
