For anyone who cares, it should be stated now, but Nick Spencer has committed career suicide.

Disney is pretty much angry as hell that Marvel published the "Captain America is always a Hydra Agent" story. The story was done without their knowledge and the backlash and it's implications, have already bore fruit that will make it not last if not outright retconned.

Brevoort is currently trying to white night Nick Spencer (who has threatened to go to DC if he's not allowed to make Captain America his personal SJW soap box) to Disney for the sake of keeping him out of DC's hands. But internally, it's gotten to the point that most expect Spence to be gone from the company, if not outright blacklisted from Marvel, by the end of the year.

Part of the reason is Chris Evans, who has not been thrilled with the reveal and in the last couple of days, been giving Disney an earful about how dare they do something like that to the character. Evans has a love-hate relationship with the Captain America character: he took the role solely because Disney offered to get him work as a director after his initial contract expired, but the overwhelming fan response, especially amongst kids, has caused Evans to extend his run with the character and generally speaking, be a bit protective of the role (to the point that the bit in Avengers 2 where he chides Tony Stark for cursing was a reference to Evans' desire to preserve the kid friendly image of the Avengers to young fans).

That's all false, what's true is that you need to work on your spelling.
>>
You know, OP, if you actually did your research, you'd know Spencer fucking hates DC for cancelling his Supergirl and Young Justice. Why the fuck would he ever go back to them when he could just stick with creator-owned books?

>there are people on /co/ right now who are going to believe this shit

>>83205699

I am 100% certain he went into this story with the intention that it was not going to be a permanent lasting change

This. Anyone who's seriously reacting to this hasn't paid much attention to Marvel for the last decade.

The worst part about it is when this story concludes and Steve is made un-HYDRA, people are going to think their complaining and hashtags actually had some matter in the story's resolution.

>>Continued
This entire debacle has been a culmination of sorts to problems people have had towards Spencer and his Captain America run internally at Marvel. His recent Serpent Society run, which had some rather negative comments made about Diamondback, drew criticism from Mark Gruenwald's widow that never made public. It's one of the reasons why Rachel was given a last minute redemption arc as the plan was in the beginning to have her carted off to jail with the rest of the group. The story was leaked to Catherine Gruenwald, who then called Tom Brevoort up and gave him an earful, accusing him of letting Spencer shit on her husband and his work on the title.

Jack Flagg is dead (though for different reasons; he's dead because he was closely associated with the DnA Guardians and Marvel was tired of people asking where he was, so Spencer offered to kill him off).

Still, this has had some major consequences with Marvel and Spencer, who's made it repeatedly clear that if he is not allowed to use his book as a soap box, he will go to DC.

Brevoort wants to keep him happy but at the same time, knows that Spencer is a time bomb that has finally gone off. Marvel tacitly knows that the country is moving away from SJW types but has to keep a select number of SJW kool aid drinking big named writers happy. Hence why Jane Foster is still Thor and why Falcon still gets the main Captain America book and why Marvel has flat out threatened to blacklist ANY writer from ever working at Marvel again if they say anything negative about Bendis making Iceman gay.

That said, the upcoming Americop arc has undergone some major rewrites because Spencer went too far even for the permissive Brevoort. The original story planned was obscenely anti-police and had to be toned down and even now, there is pressure to make more changes to neuter it.

Spencer doesn't like this at all but was letting it happen in exchange for being allowed to retcon Steve Rogers into being a Nazi/Hydra member.

This word has officially lost all meaning. I know too much time on 4chan has convinced you otherwise, but being a democrat doesn't instantly make you an SJW.

>>83205896
Currently there plan is to rush the story to an end by this fall/use the mind control angle to explain it away, though Brevoort and Spencer want to drag it out further. However, internally, many have pointed out to the damage that Superior Spider-Man did to that brand to try and stop it.

But the biggest push to abort the storyline as soon as possible, is coming from Disney itself. Disney has spent the last two days desperately trying to calm Evans down and keep him from making a formal denouncement of it (same with Stan Lee, who told Brevoort not to do it when Brevoort told him about the plan a week ago).

Expect this to go away sooner than later; Brevoort will fight for it hard to stay but if push came to shove, Brevoort will sacrifice Spencer to save his own ass.
>>
Go to bed, Gabby. Your golem is dead.
>>
>>Continued
No one else, not even Brevoort, knows this, but Spencer has also joined up with several other people at Marvel, including Al Ewing and Gerry Duggan, in a group led by Kevin Feige. They plan to launch a coup to take control of Marvel from Ike Perlmutter; exactly a week from today, Feige and his supporters will barge into the Marvel offices and gun down Perlmutter and his allies in cold blood. Spencer will then be able to make Cap a Nazi in peace.

The claim will be made that this was the act of terrorists, but there are those who will know the truth...
>>
>>83205820
Spencer was secretly approached by DC in the build-up for DC Rebirth. He was offered several high profile books (Suicide Squad, Legion of the Super-Heroes, and a Batman villains title, with a pledge that he would be granted access to basically all of the A-List villains, including Joker) but turned them down when Marvel agreed to let him keep Falcon as Captain America/let him pitch his Hydra Cap storyline.

but no Slott's steampunk vampires one shot it. Why would you consider this good writing?
>>
>>83206644
To be fair, Spiderverse was one of the rare examples of Marvel telling Slott "NO!!!!"

The story was originally supposed to run in Superior Spider-man around #20-26 and have Otto as the main Spidey and the "humor" of NONE of the alt earth Spideys knowing that Otto had killed the Prime Earth Spidey and stolen his body and basically constantly bragging about how he "defeated" Morlan in the past.

By this point, fans were so fucking pissed at Marvel for Superior Spider-Man, that Brevoort basically told Slot "We will not let you do this story unless the real Peter Parker is the star" and wouldn't budge one bit whasoever on it.
>>
>>83206803
Yeah I heard about that. He got vetoed and we got Superior Venom arc instead.
>>
>>83206803
Even so Slott churlishly shat all over the non Otto spidermen a whole lot and made Peter look like a tool in more than a few places. If he wanted Spock to have any longevity as a character he fucked up. Everyone is sick of Spock and that storyline is gonna be tainted for quite some time.

>>83205922
A point of clarification. Does Spenser get into fights with retards constantly, try to get conservative writers and artist fired, or anything like that? Because if he's just got opinions like the leftist equivalent of the westborough baptist church, but isn't geting in to retard slapfights, then he's just an ultraliberal, and not an actual SJW, I think.

>>
>>83205699
The one thing that is keeping me from crying bullshit is that I know how protective Disney is when it comes to their brands. Remember this is the company that is almost solely responsible for the infinity+1 years of copyright laws we have today.
Disney is operating on a much larger level than Marvel, and now that they've seen the value in the brand and characters, its very likely that some suits might start getting ancy when Marvel does its usual fan-antagonizing antics.

Eh I wouldn't call him an ultraliberal either since he is often shitting on Bernie Sanders and his supporters and has expressed a dislike against people who hold extreme leftists views.

He's a former politician, a Democrat, and a Hillary supporter so he is a leftist at least.

Even though this "shocking twist that'll change everything for-EVEEEER!" doesn't make sense as much as it should when pulling a number like this, I'm still interested to hear what Cap's up to and what made him jump ship.. or, well, sailing on that other ship all along.

Anyone paying attention beyond the shock panel for either knows the difference immediately.

There's been build up for Doom whether or not people like it. Purple Man, Strange and Lancer have witnessed glimpses of it.

The second?
Let's do a recent run down.

During Civil War Cap staunchly opposed having the efforts of heroes turned into a disadvantage to their families, he wasn't against them being regulated but being made targets given how easily the information on their identities could be accessed and distributed. He was then hunted as a fugitive for his efforts, wrestled away from Iron Stalin by REAL AMERICAN HEROES, submitted, was killed while arrested, except not really because he was actually time travelling(?), despite all this he then decided to get in a big dumb fight with the X-Men because Marvel needed to make sales and decided the group of people who would rather work together than beat each other up would rather beat each other up than work together. Because Cable said that's how it's going to go, so that's how it had to go. During Hickman's tenure he busts in and beats the shit out of illegal immigrant Skrulls. The Skrull Invasion was admittedly terrible and the source of problems during Civil War, hamfistedly, but these are not even high rank Skrulls. They're basically masterless slaves with no transport off planet, so Clint and Steve are literally just being shown kicking people who are down for some reason.

Not long after being slapped around by them Steve then later allows two dangerous, extremist Darwinist extraterrestrials to join the Avengers, some more bullshit and now this.

Which of these two sound like fleshing out a character whereas the other character derailment?

Do jest if you need, just remember when you find yourself disingenuously humoring the ridiculous it is because there exists something genuinely deserving of ridicule.
The Avengers have never been perfect, but their behavior has become pointlessly irrational.

I agree the backlash is dumb, but it's exactly what Spencer was trying to create, using the recent movie as extra spotlight on the character to do something big to pull that audience over to his comic. He pretty much admitted that this was what he wanted.

I just don't think this is what Disney wants. Marvel comics might run their business model on bad publicity and controversy and outrage to sell more, but Disney definitely prefers playing it safe and easy. Disney cares about the children demographic and parents reactions to this sort of thing, and having this trend on twitter is probably a pr nightmare for them right now.
>>

Bucky got to stay Cap and the main Cap book when he came back last time.

Also no one gives a fuck about Diamondback for anyone to care like that.

The guys name is Marjorie Liu. She's successful enough that she wouldn't need to adhere to the company line. The only reason she made that statement, is because making Bobby gay is in line with her progressive ideals. So even if it wasn't her intention when originally writing the 'Frozen' arc, she'll lie and say it was just to virtue signal to sjw crowd.

Yes, it's supposedly about disrespecting Kirby and his legacy and using a tragedy for a shocking reveal

But Kirby wrote this

He wrote this while the war was going on, while Jewish people were being killed in camps. While men were fighting and dying for the sake of this war.

Because it's true. SJWs aren't normies. Normies don't lean in any direction. But there's tons of SJWs/hipsters out there who try to pretend their neutral normies in order to paint anyone who DARES speak out against SJWs as Nazis.

Because people seem to not understand comic book story arcs are more than just issue 1 and don't want to read.

That's the only part I wouldn't call bullshit on. The new Ghostbusters really brought the whole culture wars to the forefront for normies.

Actually, back when Batman was dead I found it really odd how normies had no idea it even happened. When Superman died fighting a relatively unknown baddie back in the 90's they shut down Times Square irl and had funeral marches with hundreds of people wearing red armbands. Batman died killing Darkseid and two years after being replaced by Robin The Boy Wonder the average joe didn't even know it happened at all.

His cap run may be shit, but that doesn't mean he hasn't written anything good ever. The same thing happened with Jason Aaron, Scalped was pretty damn good but his current Thor run is pretty poor in terms of quality. Creators don't usually produce 100% good or bad after all.

that shit remains surreal. It actually got me interested in Rolfe's stuff and while his stage persona gets old after awhile all this 'Lol look at this nerd' shade getting thrown his way is bizarre. He's married, he has a kid. I'm reasonably certain he doesn't even wear glasses. People see him and go 'bully the nerd' and it's like...but the dude doesn't suit the stereotype you're throwing at him. Do you have any reading/viewing comprehension?
>>
>>83238791
Yeah I mean I haven't really bothered with AVGN videos in a long time but I watch his non-AVGN stuff once in a while. But when that whole craziness happened I decided to go take a look at the video people were complaining about to see if he went berserk or something.

I mean the only thing vaguely objectionable is being glad that Harold Ramis didn't see the film and even then it's a mild drop in the rest of the video. It just made me think there was some sort of coordinated effort of attack because Sony was going to release the second trailer that week.
>>
>>83238870
yeah dragging Rami into it was a bit much but half his fucking stage persona is being a bit of an ass. Even then I'm kind of backing the sentiment; nothing about 'Female Ghostbusters' looks good. I could even let the ghost designs slide but the people writing the new movie don't get the old one and christ it's not like the actresses they have couldn't work on creating some amusing chemistry if they put the effort in. But that apparently isn't what sony wanted.

So we get two trailers that look bad, and a concerted effort to attack anyone who criticizes the movie based on the chromosomes of the leading characters. Near as I can tell it's the hollywood spin machine spinning out of control as slacktivists hop on board.

Joke's on them, James is probably getting mad clicks over this shit.

The fact that Nick Spencer, made Captain America. A symbol of America into a Hydra agent is disgusting and falls in line with the Left hatred of America. The fact that he made sensible policies like protecting borders, and not allowing a nation to be overrun by extremists into an Hydra position speaks volumes to the level of maturity he has. Captain America should not be used as an SJW soap boax but as a way to showcase what makes America exceptional.

It obviously makes no sense for a group of people that hates islamic refugees to start blowing themselves up, just like the islamic terrorists do. They had to put that in to stop people from empathising with Red Skull after his red pill speech.

Don't you guys love how Tony Stark is totally a double agent for Kang and Peter Parker is just a clone made by Jackal?

And remember when Mark Waid made Barry Allen come back in The Return of Barry Allen? I can't believe they just made him evil and he stayed a villain until this day.

I'm sure this will have totally nothing to do with Red Skull boasting about having a master plan before.

Marvel is changed forever now that this is revealed and Captain America will be the next big villain in the MCU after Thanos.

Is it or is not Red Skull memory planting?

Because if it is, how can anyone actually be pissed about this? Hell, even if it isn't, it's just fucking fiction! It's barely a new idea!

I don't understand any of this at all.

There are also recent reports that Spencer has actually begun raising money for a campaign in which he will travel cross country and fuck the grandmother's of all who disagree with his sjw soap boxing.
When asked how could he possibly fuck that many grandmother's and what the acts implications would be ethically Nick Spencer replied only "You shut your mouth or your grandma is next. I swear I'll fuck her twice."
