Marvel Editor Sana Amanat on Late Night with Seth Meyers tonight

so marvel is showing her around for diversity points?

>>78694429
Think she's just marketing herself really well, and since there aren't a lot of her it's working.

>>78694429

yep.
same reason why she was pimped almost as much as GWW when Ms Marvel first premiered.

>>78694429
Yeah, it's funny that anytime they do a video interview for Ms. Marvel, it's always her instead of Wilson so no one realises that Ms. Marvel is made by a white girl.

literal brownie points

>>78694617
Being EiC is too much work for bendis.

>>78694617
Bendis has too much going on outside of Marvel, plus he seems to prefer writing. I know it's become a copypasta meme at this point but I can't see Bendis ever becoming EIC.

>>78694667
yeah he has other shit going on like that powers tv show

>>78694667
Being a writer is too much for Bendis, and that never stopped him before.

>>78694365
Her Wikipedia page is hilariously biased. I'd say she wrote it herself, but it was probably some fan of hers.

>>78694365
I didn't know TedxTeen talks existed and I think Larry Wilmore's show has very low ratings.
Not really mainstream media

Marvel """"editors""""

Eh not a huge surprise considering how much of a comic fan Seth is.

Who?

>>78694847
So I was generally egalitarian with regard to the potential and rights of women but after reading Captain Marvel my opinion of women has worsened. Can it still be called a feminist comic book?

Yes.

I wonder if one could go through all the press releases and publicity for Ms. Marvel and ever know that the book is written by a blue-eyed blonde white woman.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Nigga, do you even know who you're talking about? He's the master of Marvel, the king of comics, the future Editor-in-Chief. He has 2 shows based on his creations, Powers and Jessica Jones, and someday Mile Morales will be the next Spider-man in movies or TV.

Sorry mate, but Bendis is the King of Marvel. Those on Team Bendis will guard any and all storylines created by Bendis, or expand on it. I mean look at this shit >>77869998 →

Once he finally runs Marvel, we will enter an era of Bendis continuity. As long as there's a franchise with a movie or TV show, it won't be safe from Bendis Continuity.

He's the future Editor-in-Chief of Marvel, and the other writers at Marvel know it. The ones that aren't with him are off doing Star Wars.

So... every book with female protagonist is feminist book?

How do i get a brown gf?
Also fuck brevoorot

Sana is living proof that diverse creators are drastically more important than diverse characters. She wrote the only good "SJW" character Marvel has introduced in its current crusade.

It's not about making Spider-Man black, making Cap black, etc, etc. It's about hiring writers who will write good, diverse characters because they have a diverse background and experiences. I dare say even Miss America could be interesting if she was written by an actual Hispanic person instead of having this bizarre superprivileged utopian background but still being oppressed.

>>78695005
>You're just using buzzwords to shitpost.

And?

>Yes.

Why, though? Why are books like Captain Marvel, Hellcat and Squirrel Girl called feminist when they portray infantilized, vapid women as role models?

>>78695121
Move to New Jersey, live near Princeton, plenty of Indian qts around the university and at North Beach

>>78695109
No, every book with a female protagonist that isn't purely for the sake of cheesecake and any comic with a "PoC" or "LGBT" protagonist.

>>78695121
I don't know about the brown GF, but you can try and find Brevoort in Marvel HQ and see if you hit it off after some drinks.

>>78695159
But she didn't. Amanat doesn't write Kamala. A blue-eyed, blonde white woman who converted to Islam writes Kamala.

Marvel just puts Amanat out there for some reason, maybe so people don't find out who the actual writer is.

>>78695179
GCS was mostly just cheesecake and the only LGBT thing about it was Harley manipulating Ivy near the end

It even had Ivy fucking a male character

>>78695159
you know that the person who writes is a Blond woman right ?

>Why, though? Why are books like Captain Marvel, Hellcat and Squirrel Girl called feminist when they portray infantilized, vapid women as role models?

Because Squirrel Girl and Hellcat are portrayed as saturday morning cartoon characters with a great deal of levity and irreverence. They're 'fun' protagonists in a market place dominated by melodramatic superhero.

Captain Marvel has just been kind of uninspired.

>>78695246
Amanat came up with the concept for Ms. Marvel, she's the Bob Kane to GWW's Bill Finger.

>>78695231
Ninjas didn't dress in black :^)

>>78695296
Blatant lies! Movies say otherwise!

>>78695246
>But she didn't. Amanat doesn't write Kamala.

You're write, she's the editor of the comic who championed the project.

>A blue-eyed, blonde white woman who converted to Islam writes Kamala.

You're right, a white muslim woman doe write Ms. Marvel.

>Marvel just puts Amanat out there for some reason, maybe so people don't find out who the actual writer is.

She's cute and charismatic, and connected to the Ms. Marvel comic book.

>>78695290
They can be Saturday morning cartoons but the creators sure as fuck are trying to convey a message using then

>>78695353
>You're write, she's the editor of the comic who championed the project.

How many comic books can you think of where it's the editor who's the public face of all promotion while the writer is rarely ever seen?

>>78695353
She also has dark skin and Marvel doesn't want want to remind people thr the real writer is a white woman
>b-b-b-but she's Muslim!
Still white. Which in the eyes of liberals/SJWs is racist and cultural appropriation. Only REAL dark-skinned Muslims can write Muslims.

>>78695378
I thought this was all just /co/ paranoia until I read Hellcat #1, holy fuck, that's spiteful.

Eh, a lot of Arabs and Middle Easterners have light skin, go to any Emirates country and you'll see thousands of them. The Ayatollah of Iran is whiter than I am and my family is German-British.

Kamala is a shitty character and there shouldn't be a "positive" rolemodel for isalm

>>78695557
I don't think you want to wind up in a situation where there are only negative role models for Islam

>>78694847
They also spoil a whole bunch of important fucking plot points.

So she's getting payed for sitting with her feet on her desk all day?

She's the editor of the comic, who started it.

>Still white. Which in the eyes of liberals/SJWs is racist and cultural appropriation. Only REAL dark-skinned Muslims can write Muslims.

You're just being obtuse.

>>78695557
True, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to string her up and start stuffing every available hole with vibrators.

But Kamala is love ﾍ(=^･ω･^= )ﾉ

>>78695703
>So she's getting payed for sitting with her feet on her desk all day?

Ms. Marvel has been a runway success and she's making a tv appearance to further promote it.

>>78695684
Any of them that get promoted on comic book sites? It's still mostly just Amanat who goes on CBR etc. to talk about Ms. Marvel. Even right before ANAD started, Marvel's NYCC panel brought Slott, Soule, Gillen and Ewing to talk about their books. They didn't bring Wilson to talk about Ms. Marvel's relaunch, they brought Amanat. They never put Wilson out as the face of the comic.

>>78695713
It's true, tumblr told me so. Only people born into a race or religion can write their race and religion. Otherwise you are stealing other's culture

>>78695792
>They never put Wilson out as the face of the comic.
I wonder why. Not ethnic enough?

>>78695713
>You're just being obtuse.
Whereas you're just naive to current trends.

>>78695786
And that success is because of Wilson, not the editor.
Should we start putting editors before writers and artists now during credits?

>>78695827
>I wonder why. Not ethnic enough?

Wilson was mostly an indy writer before Ms. Marvel became a big deal, she might live in like...Wisconsin or something.

>>78695818
>tfw having dreadlocks is stealing culture
We need alien invasion so people lose all that free time.

>>78695867
Yes, in 2015, communicating across great distances is a major obstacle.

>>78695827
Yep, she's not a real Muslim. She's just a silly white girl who converted for the lulz. It's obvious that Sana Amanat is the REAL creator and writer of Ms Marvel

Funny how Alonzo is tanking Marvel

DC isn't doing much better

Almost all of their "diversity" bullshit has failed spectacularly. Unironically the only times it has been a success has been when it wasnt pandering but rather a sensible organic story development (falconcap).

Neglecting your core readership in favor of sjws that will never buy you shit backfiring? Who would've thought!

>>78695855
Stan Lee did that for years while he banged Kirby's wife :^)

>>78695855
Look, the reason why they can't push Wilson is because she got into some shit with a journalist, where she criticized western feminism. Marvel is the master of PR, and they know what they're doing.

>>78695848
>Whereas you're just naive to current trends.

You're purposefully exaggerating what cultural appropriation is to further your agenda of troll in this thread.

(^=˃ᆺ˂)

>>78695917
Thats not even THE CURRENT YEAR

>>78695786
So she's getting payed for telling Willow Wilson to write a book about a Muslim girl super hero that one time and appearing on TV twice per year? With her feet on her desk the rest of the time?

Because I'm really not convinced Marvel editor is a very straining job right now, ever since they decided that writers could just do whatever they wanted.

>>78695956
I'm still adjusting you limey fuck

>>78695938
>she got into some shit with a journalist, where she criticized western feminism
What???

Willow writes it but Kamala was based off Sana's experiences growing up. Kamala is her self insert.

Sana makes sure she has all the cute artists and oversees any time anyone even when it's not GWW is writing Kamala.

She loved Runaways which is why she got Alphona and Miyazawa to do the book.

A clickbait article with no evidence of failure on Marvel.

>Funny how Alonzo is tanking Marvel

Almost 50% of the market share, in a growing market.

>Almost all of their "diversity" bullshit has failed spectacularly

And the tried and true Superman, Action Comics, and other main titles have also decayed immensely.

>Unironically the only times it has been a success has been when it wasnt pandering but rather a sensible organic story development (falconcap).

So it's okay when you like it.

>Neglecting your core readership in favor of sjws that will never buy you shit backfiring? Who would've thought!

DC did a poll back in 2011 when they launched thee New 52 and found like 1/5 of their readership was over 50, which is disastrous for new growth.

The audience for comics was always going to have to change, and your torchbearer/gatekeeper mentality contributes to the slow, anemic, inbred decay of the comic book industry.

>>78696002
Amanat grew up spouting epig maymays and surfed reddit and tumblr while writing fanfiction of real people?

>>78695962

I don't give a fuck what you think.

cry some more editors don't keep Bendis in check in his own shit threads.

>>78695935
Bob Kane too

>>78696088
Comics as a paper-only medium is over.

In the future we're going to see quarterly stories with subscriptions and interaction with the artists, the writers, and editors.

What we're experiencing is the initial pandering to new markets and transition to this new comic distribution platform.

>>78695996
She spent years being a journalist in Egypt. That kinda colors your perspective when you then proceed to come back to the states and see a bunch of upper-middle class first-world white girls complaining about how hard they have it.

>>78695932
>Almost all of their "diversity" bullshit has failed spectacularly
But according to the very article you're shilling, the "diversity" bullshit worked. it's just that the people that the "diversity" bullshit succeeded in attracting were then put off by the renumbering/relaunches.

>>78694617
Nah, he's better working behind the scenes. Amanat is team Bendis as well so nothing will really change for him.

>>78696131
Thought to use Bob Kane, but I wasn't sure was he editor or just writer.

Same-day-digital was the start. Now it's a hybrid with the TPB/collection audience being a separate but profitable audience.

>In the future we're going to see quarterly stories with subscriptions and interaction with the artists, the writers, and editors.

I honestly think we're going to accelerate to weekly releases for major comics. The multimedia stuff will hopefully work out.

>What we're experiencing is the initial pandering to new markets and transition to this new comic distribution platform.

It's the initial marketing to a new market.

Powers on... eh. Playstation Network?

>>78696252
Neither, he was supposedly Batman's main artist but he employed a fuckton of ghost artists so chances are he drew less than a dozen issues.

Powers is still going and getting a second season. Pretty sure Jinx and Goldfish movies are still in some sort of development hell but who knows, that's been decades. Not sure if he still teaches writing courses at Portland State Univeristy.

>>78696472
Man, I remember nothing.
I didn't mix up, he DID create Batman with Bill Finger and stole all spotlight, right?

>>78696499
>the fuck?

Gail Simone's Red Sonja is good fun kitsch, chainmail bikini be damned.

The Maxx's ultimate plot was how his girlfriend was molested as a child by her dad, the villain of the comic Also she had a muffin top.

>>78695935
>Stan Lee did that for years while he banged Kirby's wife :^)
Stan never banged Kirby's wife. He let Jack do it and then just took the credit like usual.

>>78694429
Of course it's for digersity. Marvel is going "look we DO have editors." And I still don't believe them

>>78696536
He came up with the "concept" of a Bat-Man (as in, a blonde guy in a red costume with bat-wings), then Finger came along and made him the character we all know and love. Kane was a weasely little shit so he took all the credit and made sure through legal loopholes that Finger would never be credited as co-creator. Even his current credit reads "Batman created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger", that's as good as it's gonna get.

G Willow is doing Iron Man soon.

>>78696512
As if he's involved in the Powers series at all aside from "consultant".

Yes. Finger died in obscurity, impoverished. He did write for an episode of the 60's Batman show.

Kane basically took credit for everything and it's a big deal Jerry Robinson even gets credit for the Joker.

>>78696606
It won't make a difference; Ellis, Fraction, Gillen, Bendis, doesn't matter who you hire, Iron Man doesn't fucking sell.

Ellis doesn't do more than six issues.

Gillen had Greg fucking Land on art.

Fraction had Salvador Larocca.

Bendis is writing a comedy book.

I just want fucking Iron Man to fight some cool robots or solve a crime or something.

Best Bob Kane story, told by comic writer Arnold Drake. Long but worth it:

>Bob had gotten to the point where he never drew anything. Never drew anything on the Batman comics, anyway. [Sheldon] Moldoff was ghosting them all and when he didn’t, someone else did. The only thing I think Bob ever drew was when we’d be out somewhere, in a restaurant or someplace, and a pretty girl would come over to him and say, ‘Are you really the man who draws Batman?’ Then he could whip out a little sketch for her, a big sketch if she was wearing something low-cut and would bend over to watch him draw.

>One day I’m over at his house to discuss this newspaper strip idea we had and he’s talking about who we might get to draw it. I was going to write it and we were going to get someone else to draw it. I’m not sure what Bob was going to do on it except sign his name. I said to him, 'Bob, isn’t it disappointing to you that you don’t draw any more? You were once such a great artist.’ He wasn’t but you had to talk to Bob that way.

>He said, 'Oh, no. Let me show you something.’ He took me into a little room in his house. It was his studio. I didn’t even know he still had a studio. It was all set up with easels and things and there were paintings, paintings of clowns. You know the kind. Like the ones Red Skelton used to do. Just these insipid portraits of clowns, all signed very large, 'Bob Kane.’ He was so proud of them. He said, 'These are the paintings that are going to make me in the world of art. Batman was a big deal in one world and these paintings will soon be in every gallery in the world.’ He thought the Louvre was going to take down the Mona Lisa to put up his clown paintings. I didn’t have the heart to tell him.

>>78696384
Bendis teaches, helps with movies and shows, and apparently was working on a videogame? Plus Bendis writes atleast 4 books. Sure, they end up crossing over with each other for lazy stories and easy sale, but he's effective. Plus he does PR runs with interviews and whatnot. Honestly, I think he'd be a good writer if he cut his workload in half.

>I said, 'How is that possible? Shelly Moldoff’s suing Bob? But they had a clear deal. Shelly knew he wasn’t going to get credit or anything…’

>Eddie said, 'No, not Shelly.’ Bob was being sued by the person who’d painted the clowns for him…

Let's say someone 50 years ago called "Sally Slapwit the slutty sideshow clown." It's smut and is written to titillate and portrays sally slapwit as a licentious imbecile clown who the audience is meant to both lust for and despise as inferior.

However decades later Gail Simone writes Sally Slapwit, and while Sally is still a cheesecake clown, the quality of the dialog is better, the stories don't portray Sally's desire for casual sex as a negative, and her lack of brains is portrayed as a facade or simply part of a more complex personality.

Now now, lets be fair. It did shut the Runaways fans up for five minutes.

>>78696830
>A TEAM OF B-LISTERS NO ONE ASKED FOR!
But I did ask for Dazzler, Nico, and She-hulk. I very specifically asked for them. Not the horrible Bendis-redesigned version of Dazzler, but still, y'take what you can get. And Singularity a cute, which I'm always down for.

Fuck Medusa and Carol though.

>>78696830
I was just happy to see Nico again

>>78696894
No it didn't. It just got them to start bitching and moaning about Nico still having the witch arm and not being with the other Runaways.

>>78696899
Yeah me too bro.

I wanted Dazzler back in fucking X-Men like classic X-Men 200ish.

I wanted Nico back with the Runaways. I want to forget Avengers Arena.

God dammit how hard is it to write a she-hulk story like the Peter Parker stories of the 60's. Just show she-hulk in her own solo that focuses on her life.

I hate the roster shake ups their doing now and the All New and All Different really won't last and feels it has as much weight as DCs Zerohour.

No, Feminism is part of a broader methodology to portray men and women as social equals, with equal amounts of development, attention, and representation.

>I agree, and if you don't you are an idiot.

Ah, but I'm only an idiot in precrsis continuity, in the reboot I'm actually a genius.

>>78697104
Yeah Willow actually seems to be into her with that story, plus including her into Kamala's story and A-force. She might actually like her.

>>78697264
I'm not saying feminism (the ideology) itself is bad. Only that the recent push for "feminist/diverse comics" or "feminist approved" costume designs has honestly got tired like two fucking years ago.

Nothing but mischaracterizing old works done by hacks that want a shot at the big leagues by being "The New Up Incoming Writer that has a Vigina"(TM). It got tired after Gail Simone did it, Hell, she is the only one that has done that and been able to actually write something worth giving a fuck about. Everyone else just sucks.

And I hate the way it's fucking over this industry. If it honestly becomes mainstream to hate The Killing Joke because "lol Rape" then there is a problem.

Hey, these comics are made by editors more than they're made by writers anyway.

(Though I think Marvel ought to go back to encouraging editors to move into writing if they want women writers. It's easier to get women to apply for editing jobs than writing jobs, and if you want a woman writer who understands super hero comics it makes sense to go to the editing pool.)

Amanat managed to move up after Stephen Wacker was kicked upstairs to the animation department. Like Wacker's second-in-command Ellie Pyle originally took over Daredevil, but then she left for Vertigo and Amanat got Daredevil. No harm, no foul. Editing's all about claiming your turf.

>>78697496
Funny you mention Simone since she called out tumblr on their shit and got a lot of flak for it.

Once Obama leaves office and the left slowly gets back in line due to right-wing opposition, then you'll see the internet calming down because they won't have leftist media for back up support. There's a reason why this shit took off after 2008.

Anyone who takes their art remotely seriously can't go along with the Tumblr attitude.

Tumblr is basically soft Stalinism - they don't want to send artists to gulags, but they do judge all art on whether it sends the right Message to the People.

Tina Fey recently called it "a culture of demanding apologies" (talking about the demands that she apologize for a "racist" comedy episode). You just can't do good work if you have to second-guess everything you do for whether it Sends A Bad Message.

>>78697962
Problematic thinking, anon!

>>78697808
Gail has gone through a very positive change from her early days of "We shouldn't be like the Justice League, the Justice League should be like US!" to now. As I said, she has been the only writer that got a following by bitching about representation, got a job in the industry and actually wrote good works. Not a single other one has managed to repeat that transformation.

>>78697496
>And I hate the way it's fucking over this industry.

It's the future, you better pucker up.

>>78697749
Reminder that Ann Nocenti on Daredevil is still the last flagship Marvel hero to be written by a woman. Today the few women writers they have are all expected to write women superheroes only. Progress?

>>78698058
>Progress?
Not at all. Marvel is even being racist because only black writers are allowed to write black characters.

Christopher Priest has talked about that, how at some point in the '00s he could only get work writing black characters, and he hated it because he knew it would cut him off from writing the big guns. He finally left mainstream comics after Marvel told him they were changing his "Captain America and the Falcon" book to a Falcon solo.

Odd that so any writer and artists are on tumblr.

But why, thou?
After all this, are we (or DC and Marvel) any closer to the mythical "minority audience"?
Why is it that DC and Marvel have such fucking problem with getting this audience when other sides of the comics industry (namely Manga and French comics) have them by the (metaphorical) ball for decades?
Why is it that during my days in High School, there was always a little group of girl discussing manga but never comics?

Don't the big two realize that if you just try to sell the exact same Super Hero books in terms of tone, plot lines and backstory, but just change the MC to a minority, you aren't just going to magically get a new audience to read it?
At least DC has done it a little better with stuff like the recent Batgirl and Gotham Academy, they aren't my cup of tea, but you can understand why woman go nutz over it.

>After all this, are we (or DC and Marvel) any closer to the mythical "minority audience"?

Yes. Marvel putting out more soft comedy books like Howard the Duck and Hellcat after Ms. Marvel is a sign of that.

>Why is it that DC and Marvel have such fucking problem with getting this audience when other sides of the comics industry (namely Manga and French comics) have them by the (metaphorical) ball for decades?

Manga has a completely different distribution and production model. French comics are also sort of impenetrable.

>Why is it that during my days in High School, there was always a little group of girl discussing manga but never comics?

Because manga is selfcontained, albeit sometimes heavily decompressed, in easy-to-follow numbered volumes. Not multigenerational superheroes.

>Don't the big two realize that if you just try to sell the exact same Super Hero books in terms of tone, plot lines and backstory, but just change the MC to a minority, you aren't just going to magically get a new audience to read it?

The old audience was ageing out regardless.

That's what Marvel is producing more of.

I don't find this to be true at all. Just start from number 1, most series aren't sequels, so you don't have to be worried about being confused about narrative or storylines.

>>78702602
yeah, French comics are maybe harder to find but easier to read cause they don't have as much overly drawn panelling. Usually more straight forward panelling, usually more complex stories and art thought

I have only casually read some story times of Kamala on /co/, but she hardly looks to be a believer. I can hardly call her a Muslim. More like a hipster tier Muslim, like Wilson probably might be.

When they added the Muslim tag to her, I'd have loved for her to be more of a firm believer like Matt or Kurt, or a character based in Muslim folklore or mythology, like Spectre or something.

>>78703408
She's just westernized. I grew up with a school worth of Kamalas in real life that only visit the masjid on occasion and only pray during Ramadan.

My school in Canada would unofficially close twice a year every Eid because of the high Muslim population. i was very grateful the majority took two days off instead of one day off.

True, however Patriarchy Theory is an irrational conspiracy theory without the colorful additions of lizard people and cool looking symbols. Its based on data that is either questionable and/or highly debatable. And its solutions to sexism in media is highly totalitarian, extremely debatable, and too simplistic to realistically work. Not too mention the response to these demands seem to be an increasing number of short term responses that seem more to profit on feminists than really listen or agree with their viewpoints. Or simply spew whatever their audience wants to hear for click-bait.

Its a shame your honest desire to change things for the better is devoted to theories and studies that are highly debatable if not outright laughable in their methodologies and conclusions.

At this point feminists are their own worse enemy, and pretending that their overall laudable goals supercede the very real problems in their methods, strategies, and theories is another mark against them. Ignoring problems and why people see feminists the way they do, or worse yet make up selfish and crude reasonings in order to shame/insult their critics is probably going to be the downfall of any good work they could hope to accomplish.

But I'm just a misogynistic shitlord...what do I know?

Becoming an influential/popular writer for liberal publications with tons more reach would probably beat being in charge of the branch of the company you work for whose content is generally only read by a few tens of thousands of people.

>>78694617
Bendis would never go for that position I think. He'd basically have to retire from writing which he'll never do. At most he'll scale back what he does and focus a bit more on teaching comics at the University of Oregon or wherever it is his classes are.

>>78694632
>Ms. Marvel is made by a white girl
*written by a white girl. Amanat created the Character. Admittedly, it was probably sort of a Stan Lee sort of creation where she went "Pakistani Muslim girl, her name is Kamala Khan, she's an Inhuman with stretching powers, and she's the new Ms. Marvel. Go write it."

>>78695073
>He has 2 shows based on his creations, Powers and Jessica Jones, and someday Mile Morales will be the next Spider-man in movies or TV.
Daisy Johnson is his creation too, so basically 3 shows based on his creations.

>>78704476
Given the current climate yes. Brevoort is obviously the guy most suited for the position (he'll get passed up like always).

I'd say that Amanat is probably in the top 3 to replace Alonso if he ever steps down along with Mark Paniccia and Bill Rosemann maybe. Maybe they bring Stephen Wacker back to the comics side from the animation branch.

But Rosemann or Paniccia are white guys and in the current climate it'd look better to promote a woman of color to a somewhat meaningless position (it's obvious Disney is dictating the direction of the comics and that Alonso's more of a middle man).

>>78694365

Specifics of the Muslim faith are a bit of a difficult topic and not relatable for a broad Western audience.
They would need to get explainy and derail the story to do it any justice.
And then they would be bombarded with allegations of indoctrination. Yes, even more.
So Kamala is kept relatable (and close to Amanat) as a Paki-flavored Jersey girl.
Her brother is purposefully the other side of integration. The rejection of Western value systems and clinging to religious literalism as a foundation of identity.
Aamir is not a bad guy though, because that would dictate an arc about how terrible religion is and that would destroy the positive concept of the book. As well as alienate the demographic they are trying to reach.

I also don't understand how you can spend years in a Muslim culture and then decide that, as a woman, Islam is the place to be and totally compliant with western progressive values.

I mean it's not like Egyptian muslims treat western, white journalists well anyway. Look at what happened to Lara Logan a few years back. Likely it comes down to why most lefties defend Islam: fuck you dadism. It's different from America and muslims in America (and Britain and such) are "oppressed" and thus surely anything negative you hear about it, or even see about it, is just bullshit. You need to fight back against the man. And when the clash between the foreign non-western culture's actual actions and your feminist/western progressive values happens, then feminism can take a back seat as we're seeing with the massive cover up and victim blaming happening in regards to the Muslim rape gangs in Cologne over New Year's.

Where the hell are you getting this shit from? Mark Panaccia has no chance to replace anyone. He is not even in the running. The fact is made very clear with the fact that he was given the X-books (and before that FF), both of which are/were in the doghouse with Marvel management.

If we are being honest neither does she. Other than Ms. Marvel and a bunch of other indielist type books and being Wacker's protege, she doesn't have any of the major portfolios currently. Best and most likely successor is Nick Lowe given that he currently has the Spider-books.
