Marvel Comics Turning Away From Social Justice Warrior Storylines After Sales, Get This, Plunge
It's almost as if the Social Justice Warriors claiming they want this and that in the comic books don't actually read comic books at all, just like they didn't play any of the videogames they claimed had to be changed so as not to disturb their delicate constitutions.
BleedingCool's Rich Johnston, who spoke to connected sources who attended Marvel's recent creative summit, says that the company plans to return their classic comics to the status quo. Readers can expect Thor, Iron Man and Hulk to move away from the heavy-handed politics that made them difficult for readers to care about. Fans, he says, can expect to see a more "familiar looking Marvel Universe" by the fall. New characters will get to stay, though. Johnston added that while the plan is to depoliticize the Marvel universe, some very political comics like Secret Empire are far too deep for its creators to change direction. He said that the book will be a "bit of a last hurrah for this kind of storytelling from Marvel for a while." Thank goodness for that.This guy was talking about Marvel's plummet into SJW bullshit last January. A bit of background: Marvel's sales have been bad for a while. A couple of years ago, competitor DC made a bunch of unpopular changes to characters. Not really political changes, just changes. But their sales dropped due to that. DC has now launched with a "Rebirth" branding where they've returned characters to their classic interpretations. Since then, DC has been kicking Marvel's ass in sales. Based on Marvel's shitty sales -- inexplicable given that they're making a billion or two dollars on their movies every year -- this guy predicted Marvel would be aping DC in its "Rebirth" rebooting, and getting rid of their "diversity push" to replace every iconic character with a more "diverse" replacement. Dropping the bullshit Social Justice Warrior crap is part of that.

The guys at AV Club (yeah) has a great analysis of Marvel:
http://tinyurl.com/go5pzxv
"Marvel hasn't been in this weak of a position, creatively, since the mid-'90s. Every popular character is bogged down in weird stories. Readers are cooling on events. Creators are leaving the company. Management remains dismissive of critique and increasingly stubborn. The last time this happened, Marvel suffered years of attrition before a complete change in management at the turn of the century. Drastic changes are needed, because the company has profoundly lost its way."

That's the problem with comic books right there. They are printed on super high end paper with incredibly high end processed art and as a result it costs more than the latest issue of Cosmo to read the next 22 page tale of Captain America. Seriously?

I think you are partially correct. Doctor Strange and Spider-man are being groomed to take over and some of the current heroes will be killed off with diversity types taking over their legacy. I'm sure years from now if there is a comic book movie resurgence "Old Man Iron Man" will make an appearance with a sixty something RDJ.

The biggest liability the Marvel movies have is their over-focus on Stark due to the popularity of RDJ's performance. It's bogged them down and made the character too pivotal and too erratic.

I liked the reveal at the end.
Stark's angst gets most of the complaints. This is particularly since the Stark we see in the first Iron Man movie would not have agreed to the accords like the Stark in the movie does. They had to mess with the character to get him to take the side they wanted him to take.
Most of the complaints about Bucky that I've heard about (fortunately, not from anyone I know) generally come from slash fic authors. You can probably guess that they're not complaining about anst.

The 90's must look pretty good to Marvel about now. They suffered serious setbacks, but, the most damaging was poor business decisions and investments. Creatively, they were still doing ok, compared to now and though sales declined by the latter half of the 90's, the actual numbers were gangbusters compared to today. IMHO, if by management, they mean business, rather than creative, then yes it worked out. But, the change in editorial and creative dept's at the turn of the century was awful and represented the first step to the problems they have now.

The thing at the time was that Marvel was an absolute humorless source of boring. Completely stilted Ditko "MUST.SAVE.TIMMY" leftovers.
DC was actually - get this - comic. As in funny, when it suited them.

Tallow, not lard. Tallow is beef or mutton fat, lard is pork fat.
Although pork fat makes awesome fried taters too.
If you have one of those countertop deep fryers, try this:
1) Deep fry a package of bacon, a few strips at a time. Don't start with too much oil, because you'll wind up with a lot more in there when you finish. The bacon also comes out awesome this way, by the way. Perfectly and uniformly crisp, and it cooks FAST.
2) Use the bacon fat to deep-fry french fries, tater tots, or hash browns.
Thank me later.

I wonder if Trump contested this in the 9th Clown Circus in order to put
them on record as being activist/obstructionist so that when it goes to
the SCOTUS and gets shot down it's leverage to impeach the WA state

Of course that would bet on Kennedy striking it down or voting in a majority against the lower court ruling.

There was an X-men animated series from the early 2000s where it was at high school. Wolverine was still an old guy. But in one of the last seasons they introduced a clone called X-23. She was cloned from his X chromosome. She was popular enough to pull the Harley Quinn and move from tv series to comics.

But you can expect Thor to return to being Thor no more chick Thor. Tony Stark will return to being Iron Man. The Falcon will have to stop pretending he's Captain America.
-------------------------
It says up at the top that the new characters will stay. So there will probably be a regular guy Thor, and Jane Foster Thor. Jane will just have to get a new hammer (like one particular alien did). That's not necessarily a problem in the current Marvel, though. There have been two Hawkeyes for a while, both running around with the same name (and frequently working together). The new one appeared while the old one was dead (due to an unrelated storyline), and was apparently popular enough that the management didn't want to get rid of her when the original came back. So having two characters with the same superhero name can work.
One thing I do find particularly amusing about this whole thing -
Marvel (specifically, Joe Quesada) went the really stupid route when it wrecked Spiderman's marriage a while back. Fast forward to Marvel's big event this past year (or year before? can't remember), and it featured a bunch of alternate continuities, all of which got a few issues. One of the continuities was one in which Peter and MJ were still married, and had a young daughter (not May Day; different alternate universe). Peter's still Spider-man, daughter has spider powers that she can only sort of control, and MJ ends up suiting up in Peter's old Iron Spider armor to help out. Regular super hero family.
Apparently it turned out to be fairly popular, because when Marvel finished the event and switched back over to the regular comic book lines, that particular alternate universe got its own series.
Marvel keeps trying to dictate from the top, but the readers keep saying, "Dude, your choices SUCK!"

Having your team in place and arguments already to go, before signing an inflammatory EO that will provoke an instant reaction, ought to be common political sense.

Overall, the 90's gets a bad rap that's only partially deserved. They were dealing with the Image exodus, Image clone competition and the repercussions of the spike in popularity of that style. As a result, pencilers/artists were given way to much clout and writing took something of a back seat. Marvel also published way too many titles and overprinted at a time when the speculator bubble burst and later, the newsstand sale fiasco. Also, IMO, Too. Much. Wolverine. However in spite of all this, Marvel managed to put out some really good stuff across all the titles, it's just that it was along with a lot of chaff as well.

The filing put Flentje and Justice Department lawyer Edwin Kneedler atop
the list of U.S. lawyers. Flentje has worked for the Justice
Department's civil division for most of his 19-year career there.
Kneedler, who has been with the solicitor general's office since 1979
and served as deputy there for the past 24 years, has argued more than
100 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Marvel (specifically, Joe Quesada) went the really stupid route when it wrecked Spiderman's marriage a while back. Fast forward to Marvel's big event this past year (or year before? can't remember), and it featured a bunch of alternate continuities, all of which got a few issues. One of the continuities was one in which Peter and MJ were still married, and had a young daughter (not May Day; different alternate universe). Peter's still Spider-man, daughter has spider powers that she can only sort of control, and MJ ends up suiting up in Peter's old Iron Spider armor to help out. Regular super hero family.
Apparently it turned out to be fairly popular, because when Marvel finished the event and switched back over to the regular comic book lines, that particular alternate universe got its own series.
Marvel keeps trying to dictate from the top, but the readers keep saying, "Dude, your choices SUCK!"
Posted by: junior at February 07, 2017 07:00 PM
Quesada... *groan* I remember when he and the "new wave" overseers first took over. They really did take a hostile stance against readers from almost the outset. They abandoned the comics code, brought in weird indie artists that didn't suit the books they were on and changed stuff just for the sake of it. Their response to readers complaints was always "Fuck you. Don't like it? Piss off." I mean literally... they printed those responses in the letters section, FFS. That's when Marvel headed to cray-cray town.

A) This attorney was not selected by Trump
or
B) This attorney was set up for failure
or maybe, long shot,
C) This attorney is sandbagging in return for a nice big bonus upon his impending retirement"

Heard subsequently that they were bleeding clients and his brother, a co-owner, sued him.
----------------
I think Ace posted about it. The big news was everyone making the same salary. But then it came out that the guy had gotten advance notice that his brother was filing a lawsuit. So he pulled the salary shenanigans to try and divert the blame for what was about to happen to him. Or something like that.

Nope. But there was a very observable difference.
When Oshithead started losing (after 2010)? HE QUIT.
The only thing he pushed hard was Ghey Marriage and he had plenty of sycophants carrying the ball for him.
Obama was a quitter. Trump not so much.

In October 2015, Dan Price was sued by his brother and co-founder Lucas Price over claims that Dan received excessive compensation and that he had been working against Lucas' interests. Dan prevailed in the case on July 8th, 2016 and was awarded attorney's fees and other expenses incurred from the lawsuit.[7]

No, he's a good pastor, but really liberal socially. It would almost be a sin to him to vote Republican, I think. Very high Christology though. It's not like people had a choice. You either voted for white Trump or white Clinton or white 3rd party candidates, and I can't really imagine people saying "I'm so glad the WH is white again," so he must buy into the idea that many people who voted for Trump are racist. Sad.

Certainly some of the stuff he was doing at the end was more magical. Cumberbund did a good job with the character, but he's skilled at playing arrogant but likable.

The federal education complex is incredibly important to the left. These trigglypuffs didn't spring up on college campuses by accident, they have indoctrinated for years throughout the public education process. They are the next generation of Democrat activist, donors and politicians.
And that doesn't even touch on the amount of money filtered to the teacher's unions and back to Dem politicians.
Gutting this monolith is as important as anything Trump can do.

341 324 OT Stand by. Giant California Dept of Water Resources fuck-up proving Murphy is correct again...nature sides with the hidden flaw at Oroville Dam, one of the worlds largest dams. Giant hole formed in concrete spillway while dumping floodwater. Now they turned off dumping water because hole in concrete spillway is eroding mountainside that contains the lake. The only other way to release water is through the power turbines but so much water is coming in that the dam will overtop in three days...this is the worlds tallest earth filled dam and if it overtops it will self destruct. Fun stuff. Sacramento will be flooded. 3.5 million acre feet capacity and is 50' from top at 2.9 million acre feet. 119000cfs coming in and 5000cfs leaving via powerhouse. The spillway must function.

Hope somebody has a good camera setup that will make all CGI of dams collapsing obsolete. Sure the lawyers will need a copy.

Visually stunning, the magic is great. And the acting is superb, Cumberbatch gives him an arrogant complexity and I looked forward to his character growth. Lots of great characters despite limited screen time. I want that library and that cloak!
The only blatant eye rolling thing was the importance of China later on to the plot, sadly ironic considering the Tibetan style locations. But the "we gotta get that sweet ChiCom money" is something I'm unfortunately getting used to in my movies. Bah.

Its kind of a buddy of ours who shut down his comic book shop to sell online. I think he didn't expect our collection to be quite as big when he agreed to it, it took him a year just to go through it.

Remember the Comicbook where a Super Hero killed the President because he started an unjust war, because Bush.

And the DDS (DeVos Derangement Syndrome) is running rampant on my Facebook feed. Teachers here I had respected belittling the parents of the kids they teach for electing Trump.
Me? I'm thinking I'll just reveal that I think the DoE is unnecessary and un-Constitutional and watch what happens...

Washington state attorney was presenting newspaper clipping of what Rudy said into evidence as proof of anti-muslim bias inherent in EO.

Until the next time they have a chance to push their leftist bullshit in, again. I don't read comics - never have - but anyone who trusts a company that pulls shit like this deserves what they get.

So what? Anyone with a brain should have a very healthy amount of anti-muslim bias. They are savages - aggressive, violent, insane, anti-western savages who have no business in this country.

Seemingly so, of course Holder was still the AG during this period. From the wiki
"On November 8, 2014, President Barack Obama nominated her to succeed Eric Holder as Attorney General.[1] On February 26, 2015, the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate confirmed her appointment by a 12-8 vote, with all Democrats of the committee and three Republicans in favor. On April 23, 2015, Lynch was confirmed by the Senate by a 56-43 vote"

What little I saw of Hatch, he came across as a nice, level-headed, down-to-earth guy. IIRC, he wrote a few columns at Breitbart when it was first getting started.

The early issues (not sure about the later ones) got collected and reprinted a little while back.
The collected volumes are gorgeous and worth the cash - matched hardcovers with commentary - both about RL background and explanations of military acronyms, lingo and tactics - as well as tremendous bonus features - toy catalog excerpts, action figure file cards and essays by experts.

I love the old Marvel lore, but I've got no interest in any of the current comics. Plus, some genius in that braintrust decided to cancel Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (a great cartoon paying tribute to the classics) after only a single great season. ...And a second crappier season that's not worth talking about....

I was once a "weekly Wednesday" buyer. That ended about five years ago. Still have full runs of a lot of titles.
Suddenly, I shifted to buying trade collections only, and then abandoned Marvel/DC for independent titles, mostly Image. And with that publisher's track record for producing books on time, I haven't bought a TC in months.
But what really drove me away from the Big Two was the constant push for events, plus the concept of franchise titles. One Avengers book was enough; we didn't need six. Glad I bailed before the real SJW crap hit.
I'm not offended by introducing more diverse characters; it's the pushing aside of established ones that stuck in my craw. And I'm not bothered that so many writers be lefty loons. (Chuck Dixon can't write everything!) I'd rather have them write fiction than policy. Doesn't mean I'll scramble to hand my money to them, either. Nick Spencer, you just joined the list. God knows whom I would zap if I used Twitter.
Well. This turned into quite a ramble. Edit or post?
Aw hell -- this late? Post.

Loved it. Took my 75 year old mother to see it! Was a hoot! Marvel does well with its movie franchise, DC with its TV franchise. Fox has no idea how to manage the Marvel characters it has.

The SJW was creeping in then. They were fun to read when I was a kid in the late 70's and 80's, but they're drivel now, especially after the grim and grittiness of the 90's and the crap they put out now. Make them fun again, and sales will rise.

Mark Waid said of his move to California that with all if his comics and collectibles, he -- a single guy -- was rated by the mover as a family of six.

At least the movies have enough existing IP to survive for a while as the comics division circles the drain and continues to think insulting their audience and making baffling decisions will be the road to success.

that it's hurt their sales. So, superheroic schadenboner over this.
Hey comic writers/artists - dying for a LGBTQXPLZNJ tri-racial girl superhero? Try coming up with a new character and writing a story that's actually entertaining. Don't just decide you get to hijack Green Lantern and make him Pink Glow-Dildo.
