Is this happening because Eddie and the symbiote shared that passionate kiss in the movie? Or have these people been around before that? It's terrible either way, but I'm curious as to what the timeline is here.

Also that space demon vampire arc was a lot worse than what's going on in Venom right now. These people need to learn to pick their battles. <:mad:>

If Winter Soldier counts as a superhero movie then F&F 7 and 8 count as superhero movies too, IMO. :cheeky:

This is an amazing line of reasoning because I don't even feel like all the people who wrote X-Men universally had an iron-clad grasp on what the X-Men were about (Whedon and Bendis spring to mind), let alone the people who illustrated them.

Those various reasons boil down to “the women are dressed now.” And keep in mind there’s still cleavage, useless armor, and pin-heeled shoes*, but since MK realized having mostly-naked tits flapping about actually sells less than visually well-developed :haw: characters the usual dudebros are having their pissfits. I saw a guy wearing a shirt of a bikini-wearing Jade that looked like it was 15 years old (bits of the design faded and peeling off) and wondered if it was in protest.

* there’s an x-ray of Kitana driving blades into an opponent’s face with a kick and what a missed opportunity to have her do it with her shoes instead.

A whole contingent of people are also mad at MK11 because in Jax's arcade(?) mode ending he goes back in time to prevent slavery from ever happening.

The anger surrounding this reminds of that one guy who called Tim Schafer a virtue signaler for saying white supremacy is bad.

From the get-go, my first editor asserted that Iceman would be DOA if it were “too gay,”


Marvel can't even get one gay-led comic without editorial trying to squash it along the way. What a crock.

I see what you're getting at, but this is not too far removed from the logic people use to say "human being" is no longer a homophobic slur but rather an all-purpose insult.

I think he's right in the sense that the sales of trades and manga in bookstores don't speak to the health of specialist comic book stores and single issue sales (I think that's the point he's trying to make??)

But he kind of buries that lede beneath his nonsense value judgment.

That's a problem with what specialist comic book stores are selling. Why in gods name would you not sell trades and manga if you're a comic book store. It's dumb as hell that I have access to a broader range of comics in a chain bookstore than in my local specialty shop.

I was more so talking about the fact that most comic book stores are closed (as far as I'm aware, that is) whereas online bookstores and some larger retailers are still open. The fact that trades, GNs, and manga are selling well in general isn't a sign of the health of comic book stores, was my point.

I say this as someone who's LCS mostly deals in trades and manga and doesn't carry single issues from Marvel and DC, only Dutch ones. :saddowns: They've been doing very well for themselves and moved to a bigger location a few years ago. No idea how they've been doing since the shutdown, though.

Joe Rogan is awful, but to me this seems more like he took all of this guy's assertions as read instead of going full sail into supporting CG (assertions about "SJWs" aside).

If anything, I think that's the #1 reason his podcast is completely useless at best and harmful at worst: he never engages critically with his guests, he simply lets them say their piece no matter how wrong or wronheaded it is.

There's been a lot of this in his work lately; you mentioned A Walk Through Hell, and it's also a significant part of the mostly-deservedly-ignored Jimmy's Bastards and the less-so Red Team. (Red Team in particular is a book that's about cops but in no way glorifies them, which makes it feel a bit like Ennis writing James Ellroy fanfiction.) There's some of it going back to his old revival of Dan Dare for Virgin Comics, too.

Jimmy's Bastards was so bad and it was a huge disappointment after reading Dreaming Eagles. :( That was the best of Ennis' work besides Punisher MAX in my opinion, and I was hoping the rest of his work with Aftershock would be just as good. Alas.
