DC Comics Artist Dramatically Quits Company, Declaring DC Has "No Right" to Turn Heroes Into SJW Propaganda Figures

They're going to have trouble painting this guy as a White Supremacist -- he's the son of a Libyan immigrant.

But I'm sure they'll do it anyway.

Gabriel Eltaeb is -- was -- a colorist on the very same "Superman: Son of Kal-El" comic that turned a straight character gay and ditched Superman's motto of "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" for "Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow."

And he just had enough.

"I'm tired of this shit, I'm tired of them ruining these characters" says comic book artist Gabe Eltaeb of DC Comics and its superhero characters, specifically Superman, who the comic book giant says is no longer fighting for "truth, justice, and the American way" but now standing for "truth, justice, and a better tomorrow."
Eltaeb, who is a colorist for comic book giant DC Comics, recently appeared as a guest on a Youtube livestream with Cyberfrog creator Ethan Van Sciver where he went off on the woke wave changing DC's venerable comics....

Eltaeb then went on to blast leftists who he says are the real bigots.
"They call us bigots and racist and sh*t, I would ask them, find me in the f**king mainstream, not on the fringes, one fucking book, one fucking t-shirt, one movie that says that leftism is bad, and conservatism is good, find it for me, they f**king won't they’re not letting people have a voice, they're the f***ing bigots,” he said.
"Sorry. That's been bottled up for five years," he concluded.

I saw a headline from a leftwing comics book site that said they might bring in someone to re-color the pages that Eltaeb already colored.

Petty.

Meanwhile, Marvel's The Eternals is garnering a "lukewarm" reception from sneak peak audiences, says Film Threat founder Chris Gore.

The big news coming out of reviews is that the film features a "sex scene" between two men, featuring them kissing. Though that reviewer does call the sex scene "G-Rated."

But his idea of a "G-rated sex scene" might not be the same as yours.

I'm sure it's a brief sex scene, because leftwing media companies always make sure their gay sex stuff is short enough and inconsequential enough that it can be easily cut out of the international releases of the film.

The other big news is that Big Reveal in the end credits teaser is that Harry Styles -- yes, that Harry Styles -- will be playing Starfox in an upcoming project.

Yes, that Starfox.

If your response is "Who?" and "Why?," you're reacting properly. Harry Styles is a singer who came to some prominence on the British X-Factor, then joined a boy band called One Direction. I don't know if he's still very popular.

Starfox is a D-list character. He's some kind of pseudogod of love. He got #MeToo'd in the comics for using his superpower of seduction to make women go to bed with him without really consenting. (They did consent, but under the influence of his mind-effecting power.) He's the brother of Thanos, if we still care about that.

He'll probably be on the She-Hulk tv show -- another thing I won't be watching -- because She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters) sued him for the nonconsensual seduction of a client or something.

Marvel thinks this Big Reveal will really generate buzz.

Well, they're half right. It does generate zz's.

Chris Gore thinks that the revelation of these Big Reveals is a planned leak by Disney. Per his theory, they know that the movie isn't likely to pull audiences in on its own, so they're ginning up the Woke Marketing Machine that has worked so well for Charlies Angels and Terminator: Dark Fate.

Grace Randolph, who is forever praising diversity and inclusion and women in directing roles, thinks this movie is skippable and doesn't even feel like a Marvel movie. Although she tries to deliver that news softly. She says it's "pleasant," but mostly stays at a "6" level and never goes above an "8."

"Pleasant" is really the kind of tag-line you want for a would-be blockbuster.

Below, a video from Gabe Eltaeb talking about his backstory of being someone who genuinely appreciated America for welcoming his family into it, and being bothered by DC Comics' current political stance that America should be scorned, not praised.

Also below: Midnight's Edge talking about the "lukewarm" reaction to The Eternals, and the possibility that the leaks of the gay kiss and Harry Styles appearance might be planned to give a boost to a movie that probably needs it.

"DC Comics is a magician with one single trick." Turning straight characters into gay characters.

Bonus: Ryan Long and Danny Polishuk dramatize Robin The Boy Wonder's much-publicized recent "exploration of his sexuality."

But it turns out this version of Robin has discovered he's Super Not Gay.

DC Comics announced it was firing Robin and searching for a new, more sexually diverse Boy Wonder.

14 The charming thing about "white supremacy" is any race can be a member when you accept the subtle implication that any non-marxist idea is "white supremacy."

Racial egalitarianism?

White supremacy, racial indifference? White Supremacy.

The conservative African bishopry in Catholicism is "white supremacy."

The racial abacus is a weapon crafted by communists for communists.

16 "Two men kissing" is not G-rated.

Two men kissing is offensive as f*ck and everyone knows it. It's why even the most woke companies won't show it on TV in their ads.

It's also why "out and proud" parade type gay men love to make such a public display of it.

17 G vs PG

The difference is, PG means parental guidance is suggested

G means there's nothing in it a parent should be worried about

In what universe would a sex scene with kissing ever be "G" rated?

18 They do have the right to do that crap. They own the property. if they want to drive it into the ground, that's their prerogative.

And I have the right to mock them, refuse to consume their shitty propaganda and not give them any of my money. And I intend to exercise every single one of those rights.

Propaganda almost always makes for poor storytelling. The same propaganda over and over again makes for poor, repetitive storytelling. The product sucks in every dimension and I look forward to them making less and less money with every attempt.

60 Eltaeb is a Christian who's never met his Libyan family because his father (who watched his friends and family members die) is still on kill lists there.

He's interesting to listen to. You can hear the stress and frustration in his voice over years of being the one with "good manners" at work so he can continue to feed his family, while the crazy lefties get to denigrate whole swathes of people with no consequences and insult the country that his (maternal, I imagine) grandfather nearly lost his life defending.

Rumor is he's working on a project with Eric July, which clearly makes him a racist.

Posted by: sniffybigtoe at October 22, 2021 03:41 PM (Y5qcH)

Time, I think. So one guy draws blue lines, he's the artist. Another guy draws the black lines and hatching. Someone else does the thought and speech balloons. Then they send the whole thing to the colorists, who used to be mostly women I think, who each take a page and follow the color keys and start to painstakingly cut rubylith for the printing plates.

It's mostly digital now, at least the coloring is. But it's still faster to have one person draw, another ink, and another color.

122 The thing is, the publishing houses only had predominance because they have always had it because once upon a time you needed a giant press, a warehouse for paper and ink and for printed stock, and distribution networks to get anything more important that a fanzine out.

The publishing houses for that reason alone were considered a trusted source for good entertainment, they were a safe employment for good writers and artists because of it, and when they pissed on the first part by going political and then woke, they stopped being the second.
Talent is out there for grabs, they just want money and a way to reach an audience.

Posted by: ballistic at October 22, 2021 03:55 PM (oXNqT)

Yes, partly because of CGI movies and partly down to childhood nostalgia. But we're seeing that hold start to loosen. I never dreamed that Star Wars fans would break their habit in response to wokeness.

It was probably a one camera affair since the production was small. That main camera might have been running, but since they had called cut there's a chance they had turned off the recording.

201 I am completely stumped on how they figured they could make movies about situations that are completely repugnant to most Americans and most people in the world.

Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders etc. Taken all together is what 10% of the population if that?

How could this ever possibly be a winning strategy for making money off movies.

Therefore I believe as movies are financed from outside investors that there a large number or group of investors that are demanding this type of movie for the sole purpose of the destruction of the norms in society. Tearing down the family, the church, the military, the very ideals the country was founded on.

And yet no one tries to reveal this or attack those that are doing this. We all just assume that for some reason movie makers have all gone communist or gay and have decided that this is how things will be. It's probably the same group that is financing the virus and the vaxxine.

And they are untouchable. No one can reach them by any means. And the destruction of one would not stop this anyway.

253 gay sex stuff is short enough and inconsequential enough that it can be easily cut out of the international releases of the film.

Yeah, that's part of it. The big reveal that M is queer was pulled from the Chinese release of James Bond. They film that stuff in easily-cut sections so that they can excise it for certain audiences. Which means its not critical to the plot or storyline, character development, or drama: its excess and should have been cut to begin with.

256 Thanks, Ace, for using the correct word, "revelation," instead of "reveal" except when you were obviously quoting. That annoys me no end. We already had a perfectly good word, a noun. "Reveal" is a verb. Why make it into a noun?

I miss the Silver Age comics, where Superman often had a puzzle to solve or a sticky situation to get out of, like disproving to Lois that he was really Clark Kent. Or when Jimmy Olsen (who had his own comic, remember) had an adventure of his own and solved a mystery without Superman's help.

Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders etc. Taken all together is what 10% of the population if that?

Gays are maybe - maybe - 3%.

The genderfreaks are a rounding error. That's what's so useful about them, for the Party. If you're looking to use a minority to bludgeon everyone into submission, it *should* be as small as possible, both to target the largest possible number of normals, and to make it as humiliating as possible. It makes it feel worse to be cowed into submission by a tiny number of people.

Yeah, I personally think everything Hollywood produces is stupid juvenile bullshit and people who love it are weird. I mean, I get watching a movie for some passing entertainment, but it's trash. And in our era, it's truly awful schlock with almost no redeeming value. I don't understand why anyone would have an emotional investment in garbage.

That said, people do. And the people in charge of generating this garbage are using it as a cultural weapon against all of the decency in society, and it's especially effective against children. So I *do* care about that.

336 With literally ever comic character in existence suddenly becoming gay (some day they'll rewrite the thanos finger snap to instead have made half of marveltopia instantly gay instead of dead), it would be interesting to invent a new gay out of the box superhero who later becomes straight.

344 So I have a uniqlo shirt. I actually have a few, but the one I had on this morning got to be too much, and I destroyed it.

MOST japanese clothing has normal labels. Often underwear has none. But uniqlo tries so hard to be "international" that they follow US regulations for labels. That means they are indestructible and large, filled with washing instruction, etc. in many languages.

Labels drive me crazy. Today it got to be too much, so I tried cutting it out and cut the shirt. No biggie, since it is shirt I wear under biking cloths for layers in the cold, but how the hell did we end up ruled by people who think we need instructions to wash cloths, and in multiple languages?

I care about the cultural battles as well, but hollywood and especially comic book shit just seems to be the cultural arena in which people like us can and will have the same effect as a popcorn fart into a hurricane - so why bother even discussing it? It's pointless shouting into the void.

Don't spend your money on it, steer your kids to better entertainment and enrichment. Like someone said, even excepting the gay/trans/stupid SJW shit, it's most all complete fucking garbage to begin with.

They're not interested in getting or building an audience. They don't care about that. Where do you put "audience" on your resume under "achievements"?

What they want are awards from LGBT groups, and glowing profiles in the NY Times.

Both of which they will get. Both of which are the only things they care about.

Oh, I definitely take your point. But also, those other things are all much better than movies. Movies are just awful crap, anymore. They were never great to begin with, but there used to be some artistic value in some of them.

Music bothers me more. Music is a core component of the human condition. And Americans used to be the best at it, going back through the centuries until you get to Central Europe in the eighteenth century. Music has become nightmarishly bad, too. It's so sad.

One bright spot in pop-culture is videogames. I don't play them, but I'm very impressed by them. Many are masterpieces of technology and graphic arts.
