How scandalous, a villain acting villainous.

>equality

>Fox apologized

They still got millions in free advertising from a single relatively cheap billboard. They won.

I'm halfway tempted to try and convince SJW's to attempt to force Fox to remove the scene from the movie. They wanna knuckle under to pressure? Let the fuckers be controlled by it. They wanna play nice with SJW's? Let them be controlled by them.

Oh boo fucking hoo. The bad guy did something bad....

God forbid an omnicidal mass murder choke out a woman

>>83557487

>>83557093
People need to realize that you never apologize and never capitulate, if you don't then they lose all power and will find something else to bitch about.

>>83557381
>The bad guy did something bad....
I remember when people got mad at Brubaker (?) when Crossbones beat the living dog mess out of Cin back during his Cap run.

>>83557571
My favorite example is that infamous Batgirl cover with Joker

How about they apologize for not at least trying to make Jean Grey look attractive? Now that was a real sin, she looked like an alien.

Reminder that this is the person complaining about the billboard being harmful to women.

So, let me guess.
If the billboard shower Quicksilver getting his leg fucked up by Apocalypse no one would've said a thing.
Equality.

Also, I wonder if pic related would fly today.

This just shows that women aren't allowed to be characters. They complain that there aren't enough female characters in most movies, but as soon as you do anything with them as a character, you're oppressing them.
Men are allowed to get hurt, to die, to make mistakes, and be bad people. Women aren't. THAT is why there aren't as many female characters in media.

Well that picture is a cartoonish boogieman menacing a woman in a way that visualy indicates what happens in the movie is in a dream.

The X-Men poster is a human-ish looking man choking a woman in a way that is more realistic.

Pretty sure the reason people complained wasn't just that in the movie "the villain is doing something villainous" or that a female is put in danger. It's that they're using that specific shot of a woman getting choked by a guy to advertise the movie. As if this one shot in a movie over two hours long best represents the movie.

>>83558534
>If the billboard shower Quicksilver getting his leg fucked up by Apocalypse no one would've said a thing.
Would that even be a good way of advertising a superhero movie? Like for other movies, don't they usually highlight them fighting more evenly or have posters of them looking strong or cool? Like for ASM2, they didn't use posters of Electro frying Spider-Man and Spidey writhing in pain to advertise the movie.

>>83559047

Shit advertisement desu, it doesn't even show off Spider-Man's butt.

>>83559047
That is a good point, but I think you might be giving the people who complained too much credit.

>>83559047
>As if this one shot in a movie over two hours long best represents the movie.
Fuck off, faggot. These cunts wouldn't have complained if it was a guy getting choked.

>>83559098
They why is the billboard ad getting attention instead of the scene in the movie that it came from?

>>83559047
Worked for TDKR. Granted, Batman's broken mask was more of an implication than a straight up fact of breaking the Bat, but it helped to establish that Bane is terrifying.
Whether the movie succeeded to do the same is a different story.

>>83559047
It's done to show just how powerful Apocalypse is.
He's a very big deal in the X-men comics, and as such will be shown to be that much more dangerous than a normal villain.

>>83559140
Because the movie's shit and no one wants to watch it.

Good.

It sends the wrong message to our mutant children.

>>83558505

DC gave him Batgirl after it was all said and done.

Meanwhile Marvel is probably never going to hire Cho again.

>>83559285
>Never going to hire Cho again.
Hahahahahahha.
They'll be tripping over themselves to get him back on anything as soon as humanly possible.

>>83559402

Cho is considered toxic and his contract is done with.

DC will probably be happy to hire him though.

>>83559285
Their loss. He's a good artist. His art very smut based, but that's not always bad.

>>83559047

Yes the heroes are shown being in peril while combatting a dangerous villain and might not make it out

>>83559148
Though in that case, the movie is definitely trying to make people think of the Knightfall story arc. Seeing scenes adapted from that story, like Bane breaking Batman's back, is something people wanted to see. However like you said, they used implication to advertise the terror without having to actual show Bane breaking Batman's back, which only further helps since people would then want to go and actually see that.

>>83559241
It could probably be done in other ways. I think even having some image of the heroes lying defeated before Apocalypse would've worked better than using the specific image of him choking a woman.

Like I bet when they have ads for the Justice League movie or Infinity War movie, they aren't going to put up billboards of Superman being choked by Darkseid or Captain Ameirca being choked by Thanos to establish what big threats they are.

>>83559453
>Toxic
DC already has him on Wonder Woman covers.

>>83559453
>Cho is considered toxic
No he's not. And he doesn't need either company. He makes enough on commission alone.

Hey I love Cho but the SJW hate him and actively boycott his books. That's who Marvel wants to please. He's probably not going to be there for the time being.

And he's already on Wonder Woman covers. Only a matter of time until DC puts him on a book.

>>83556975

What the hell is so controversal about something that happens in the movie, showcasing a bad guy doing a bad thing.

I'd put good money on the fact that Marvel wanted to renew Cho's contract but he had decided to move onto something else.

He'll always have a place at the big 2.

Hell, fucking BOOM! studios is falling over themselves to sign him up for deals.

Seriously. These three posts are all you need to read to realize this whole thing is a bunch of bullshit. It's not like the anon who posted the Spiderman picture made a bad point, in that it's not a very good advertisement of the movie. The other two posts sum up perfectly the reasons why the people complaining are a bunch of dead brained fucking retards though, and are actually displaying sexism against women.

So, if you're just passing by this thread and want to see three posts to read to sum the whole thing up, there you go.

>>83556975

This doesn't promote violence against women, this promotes violence against Jennifer Lawrence. Which is never a bad thing.

Also bitches be too sensitive.

In the Mystique solo movie. The villain rights a strongly worded letter to the editor against mutants.

Because violence in an action movie is bad when the female hero has to get hit.

>>83557568

Except the part where they have to be faithful to their husbands and learn how to cook.

>>83559491
I think they wanted to use a shot from the actual movie, and didn't have a better one that conveyed the same thing. Also the one shows him having a hero literally in his hands, which conveys the massage of his power pretty well, though I might personally have used a more powerful hero instead.

>>83559620
Because using that single frame out of a two hour movie gives the impression that the best representation a movie can give, the image that marketers thought would make people want to see the movie, is a man choking a woman.

Even if you try to make the excuse that it's showing the strong bad guy is strong and bad, with his abilities the best thing that they can use to show off his power is being able to choke someone? And Mystique isn't even a physically strong fighter, so it's not like choking her is badass.

Is Mystique even really THAT powerful? Usually you would use an actually strong character being powerless for that task. Is it really that impressive that he can choke a blue shapeshifter? I would be more impressed if he was choking Colossus.

>>83562177

>>83562177

It's a shitty poster/billboard conceptually. "Only the strong survive" while strangling a visibly much smaller woman? One who isn't fighting back or even able to struggle in resistance? C'mon.

Even if you want to try and pull the lame excuse of "it's totally to show how super evil he is guys" that's kicking a dog levels of lame.


Like the Cerebro takeover scene or Apoc overpowering Charles' punch in the psychic world is the kind of imagery you go for, with that concept, they just don't suit a still picture.

Isn't there a rule against a movie ad showing violence against anyone?
I had heard that they by law all need to be PG if there's a reasonable expectation of children seeing them.
If so, then why should the Mystique choking ad be allowed just to say "fuck you SJWs"?
Isn't breaking those society rules just to display violence this one time in this one context ACTIVELY pushing a new social norm?
And isn't that exactly what is said to be so wrong about Social Justice Warriors in the first place?
Or is it not the methods that is being objected to, but rather that there's no society-wide acceptance of hurting women specifically?

>>83556975
Seriously though, that's a hilarious fuck up coming from a big blockbuster. Why did no one in marketing even catch that? SJW or not, domestic violence is a real thing across the globe, so of course there will be complaints on such an image.

>>83559047
This is correct. Especially
>It's that they're using that specific shot of a woman getting choked by a guy to advertise the movie. As if this one shot in a movie over two hours long best represents the movie.
>Like for ASM2, they didn't use posters of Electro frying Spider-Man and Spidey writhing in pain to advertise the movie.

There are things you have to watch out when you're marketing a big blockbuster family movie, and Fox's marketing fucked up.

excuse me, but you guys aren't getting the point and are majorly overreacting. im just saying. its not that he's choking her, its that they decided to use that image to promote the film. the scene in the context of the film isnt misogynistic.

you know, I thought of this too, but I can't imagine a picture of Apocalypse punching or kicking Mystique going down any better. People just can't handle the image of a big guy harming a women in any way.

Which is hard for the ad team, because their whole campaign is about making apocalypse look like the guy who can end the xmen, and Mystique HAPPENS to be pretty much the main character of this series.

>>83564589
Dude, all ads are taken in out of context.
The whole point of an ad is to put forth a representation of the yet-unknown product.

>>83562925
It's considered racist for a family to be the same color now I guess?
half the actors look like they're only there because their parents made them

>>83560959
If they used that as a promotional poster/billboard for the movie, then yes it will get complaints too.

>>83564589
I thought the whole point of the movie was to show what a gigantic badass Pockerlips is. Strongest mutant in the world or whatever. So they have the adverts being "negative" in tone to show that shit has really hit the fan. Not only is this guy bad, but he's totally wrecking Mystique, who apparently is Queen X-Man now for some reason.

So yeah, I get the reasoning, and people complaining are being stupid, and Fox is stupid for apologizing.

>>83562997
>Nobody cares that a female hero is in danger. It makes perfect sense in the movie and nobody has complained about it in the slightest. Context matters.
>it's just a shitty billboard and imagery to promote the movie with.
This.

People are missing the point that they used that shot for promotion. Other cape movies have conveyed their villains as evil without choking someone in promotion.

>>83559679
Correct way: Wow violence against women is pretty bad isn't it, something to think about

Actual way: wow the guys who made these movies are sexist, the solution to this is to ban things and fire people, yes that will help women

>>83564679
>Not only is this guy bad, but he's totally wrecking Mystique, who apparently is Queen X-Man now for some reason.
Which is hilarious, as I mentioned earlier. Mystique was never high tier powerwise, she just has a very functional superpower for daily use. Apocalypse might as well be strangling a bunny rabbit.

>Make an ad showing Apocalypse strangling a woman
>people complain
>all this publicity for the cost of a billboard

>>83564514
Yes, advertisements and promotion generally don't show too much violence in such a graphic manner, especially for family-oriented action movies. I'm just saying this from a PR point of view. Domestic violence is an issue prevalent today, and I'm not saying this as an SJW thing, just a fact thing. It's just that when you're marketing stuff, you have to watch out for such things. Cover corners as much as possible.

The picture show exactly what they want to show.

Why is this the scandal when the director is a literal fucking sexual predator?

>>83564729
>>all this publicity for the cost of a billboard
I don't know, the billboard isn't a very good portrayal of a superhero film. A blue guy strangling a blue girl? I wouldn't even notice it is suppose to be a film about superheroes. For all I know it is tragic romance went wrong between body paint enthusiasts.

>>83564589
This. I agree with you, anon. Apocalypse choking Prof Xavier would also get complaints. It's the choking plastered on a billboard for a cape movie, a cape movie that has families as one of its target audience, that is the source of the majority of the complaints.

>>83564747
>they want to push Mystique as the face of the x-men movie

>>83564589

You see people? These are the retarded hypocrites we argue with. They lack complete self awareness.
Its quite obvious whats going on in this ad.
JLaw, the star, being threatened and dominated by the main villain. People are suppose to see this and say damn, maybe this is an important villain?
They've had many tweets on their twitter advertising how powerful apocalypse is. Even his name is fucking powerful. It took gene phoenix summoning way too early to clean him up.

The counter outrage caused by this is well deserved. Hopefully more people will come out to call the cunt out on twitter.
Almost all of the outrage over this poster has to do with feminist complaining about gender. The only people who have claimed its not are the people defending themselves after a large backlash against their bullshit by pretending they didn't call the ad misogynistic.

>>83564643
>representation
This is what some anons are pointing out. They have chosen a choking scene to promote their movie, a movie that targets kids and families as well. Not even an SJW, but this is something you have to watch out for when promoting something. It represents your movie and your company, and could be taken out of context easily.

If it were a male they wouldn't care. How is this not unequal treatment of men and women? Either men aren't worth protecting from violence, or women are too fragile to be able to be in situations that apparently its fine for men to be in.
It shits on men and women.

>>83564760
Pedophiles aren't bad, just misunderstood anon. Salon told me so.

>>83564747

Nah I doubt it. If Apoc was choking Prof X, some mothers would still complain because of the choking thing.

The point here is that it's a public billboard for a family cape movie and it has choking.

>>83564810
What all of us misogynists secretly teally want is for Apocalypse to be raping Mystique on the poster, because nobody ever taught us that we shouldn't rape people.

>>83564813
>If it were a male they wouldn't care.
But it makes Apocalypse look like a pussy.

By all standards Mystique shouldn't even be on his radar, she couldn't even scratch him. Putting that on a billboard makes Apocalypse look like a pathetic person who actually thinks Mystique is actually a threat worth dealing with.

The problem is that all this bullshit stemmed from feminist shit.
These things happen all the time with conservative groups and it largely goes ignored or is quietly handled.

These people made it specifically about gender which is the whole reason why it got taken down and why fox issued an apology.
People don't like it when you use a gun to negotiate in the same way you shouldn't bring up "misogyny" in a situation that has nothing to do with it. If you want it taken down for chocking you shouldn't use misogyny to threaten people.

You aren't fooling anyone. Even on /co/ most people see how paper thin your arguments are.

>>83564546
>It's using that specific shot as promotion that's wrong.

But if it was a male character it'd be just fine, right bitch?

>>83564898
It's the violence in the billboard that's bad. You can get angry at the SJWs but Fox marketing did fuck this one right up.

Even Deadpool didn't resort to this one. You don't put off-putting things as promotion for your blockbuster movie.

>>83564913
No it wouldn't still be fine. You will still get soccer moms complaining about the choking in a family cape movie, in a public billboard. Bitch.

SJWs are fucking obnoxious but Fox did fuck this up.

>>83564883
>I think it's more that they wanted the villain in a poster with their literal poster girl.
I know, but it still ended up pathetic. Choking the poster girl just doesn't work, you are suppose to make the poster girl look cool. Or at least, we need to already BELIEVE she was cool, and THEN be surprised at her being overpowered.

In short, it is a bad billboard because it sucks. Mixing two ideas that shouldn't be mixed.

>>83564861
>Nah I doubt it. If Apoc was choking Prof X, some mothers would still complain because of the choking thing.

Oh no a few Christian soccer moms would go tut tut

>The point here is that it's a public billboard for a family cape movie and it has choking.

No the point is it's something bad happening to a woman and it triggers feminists so they're dragging children into they argument like they always do to cover up their own butthurt, double standards, and hypocrisy

>>83564901
It is bullshit that this stems from feminist shit. But I am acknowledging that this ad is bad and Fox fucked up.

I know you have a crusade against tumblr feminists. I am just saying that complaints against the billboard regarding the choking is justifiable, whether it's about feminism or not.

I should have added in my prev post that some people "itt" are pointing out the choking

>>83564810

>>83564863
I think there's a whole thread devoted to that on /aco/, but of course consentual violence is a fairly commonplace sexual practice, not that I would want my nieces to see that on a public billboard either.

>>83564937
You said no one would care, but I pointed out that soccer moms would care, and you simply dismiss it?

SJWs or soccer moms, they're groups that complain a lot and most companies buckle under them.

I also don't like it when SJWs drag children into their cult, but this time they do have a solid argument about this. Fox fucked up when they plastered choking in a billboard to promote their family cape movie. They gave SJWs and other similar groups a good reason to rile up people against them.

The problem is that you are thinking we are mad about choking when the majority of us are mad at the feminist shit.

We are on complete opposite spectrum here.
Minority of complainers only care because of chocking
Majority of /co/ only cares because of feminist shit.

You shouldn't be making a general argument considering you are a minority and the people you are arguing against are the minority too.
You are doing exactly what you are complaining about, not getting what the complainers are bitching about.

Either admit you care because she is a woman or just make your post only respond to the people bitching about chocking only. If you are the original person who started this chain that is. Hard to tell who you are specifically.

>>83564810
Here is your (you)

>>83564837
Because other cape movie vilains weren't genocidical tyrant with a survival of the fittest mindset, his fucking name is Apocalypse, he is the "final boss" of the X-men franchise. So yes with a vilain like that you want to be a bit more graphic than with your average movie vilain.

I'm just saying that this time people complaining can be justified because Fox fucked up by promoting their movie with choking. You don't see that in other recent cape movies. Even the gritty BvS didn't have that in their promotion.

This became huge from a tweet anon.
From someone specifically talking about women.

You keep spewing this shit but the history shows and when you look on twitter, the majority of the outrage was definitely for stupid reasons.
This ad should've done what it would've anyway. Faded into obscurity as a stupid, somewhat offensive ad. Just like the "God doesn't exist" ads offend Christians who make them out to be a huge deal.

We have laws, years of market research and education, and market forces that will decide whether or not ads should be taken down. Not inorganic reasons that originate from mob movements. The people who jumped on twitter did not care about this ad until then. They are not organic or natural forced.

I think I mentioned that this time the feminist outrage has basis because of the violence in it. The choking plays a large part to back up their complaints.

The feminists are outraged because Apoc is choking a woman, plus it's choking in general. It has both violence and feminists complaints.

If Apoc is choking a man, soccer moms would complaint because of violence.

Both of those situation has choking involved.

It all boils down to the choking thing, that's all I'm saying. It gives a strong argument against Fox, no matter if feminists or parents are complaining.

1) When they introduced her the person playing her was a famous model instead of an actress, and they wanted to show off her body

>>83565218
I'm not that guy, although he kind of has a point. Majority of the complaints, and the start of the complaints, come from feminists, true. It could have been ignored because a lot of people don't take feminists as seriously as before anyway.

But the feminist argument can gain momentum due to what that anon pointed out: Of all scenes, they used Apoc choking someone. It has the feminist angle and the violence angle. The feminist outrage started already but it could trigger other groups due to the violence angle.

I'm still laughing how Fox didn't catch this before printing it. One look and it's obvious that it's ripe for complaints.

>>83565275
You don't realize what you are promoting.
Its actually a problem that has always been in the west actually, not unique to feminism/whatever.

The people who hate violence only got this victory because of the feminist. They were such a tiny part of a larger cog that they co-rided.
And so, from now on, every person who complains about violence will try and use the misogyny scapegoat.

This is as natural as the backlash against it. Most feminist weren't affected by this and personally didn't feel a single emotion. However, because of team warfare, this became a big deal. This didn't come from people who genuinely cared or even should.
Just like most people in this thread don't care specifically about this but are /tv/ crossboarders who care about the larger scope.

Its why its bad. I really hope you can see this. You are bringing in an ally who will be used more often because of its effectiveness, which in turn will bring these threads and the backlash back with them.
If this occurred from genuine people, then this shit wouldn't happen. Everything is turning in a battle field now though. Stop defending them.

>>83562518
>It's a shitty poster/billboard conceptually. "Only the strong survive" while strangling a visibly much smaller woman? One who isn't fighting back or even able to struggle in resistance? C'mon.

No, I'm infering that SJW propagandists are unethical monsters who put their own ideologies before their children's developmental well-being.

>>83565554
This. It's a PR nightmare. SJWs can be really loud empty cans. People are starting to get tired of them but not quite yet.

>>83565548
What if Apocalypse was mentally disabled? Like he had Downs Syndrome. I wonder if they'd get mad at the big pissed off retard choking a bitch or a cripple

>>83565479
If they actually get offended by this then sure.
The problem is people bandwagon over things they don't care about.

Do you think most of the people you are arguing with know the full context of this story? You said it yourself.
Of course not. They see SJW boogeyman and start bitching. They don't see the points like you are complaining about but then again neither do the majority of people who bandwagoned on this in the first place

We are attacking the outrage culture by, also being outraged (as there really isn't an alternative).
The majority of the people in this thread are making fun of the feminist outrage that ended getting a stupid billboard taken down. They are ranting about celebrity power.

People like them and people like the feminist don't belong in the real discussion about this billboard. They aren't the real stakeholders.

Most of this thread has been mostly attacking the feminist outrage at this and only some of it about chocking.

I'm just doing this as a PR exercise btw.

Why do women ruin everything

Has modern Western feminism fallen so low that this inconsequential shit is the stuff that they are mostly concerned about?

>>83565592
You are. You are bitching that people in this thread shouldn't be allowed to complain about feminist because they are "right" in this case.

Once again, people are complaining at the stupid outrage. People are complaining at the idiots who seriously suggest "why not show her beating up the bad guy instead!"

You started bitching about us bitching about feminist in the first place. Read the article. This was pulled down for stupid reasons. We are talking about how stupid those reasons are not why the billboard should stay up.
We are not saying the billboard should stay up.
Barely anybody talked about it without the context of the feminist. Most of the people you replied to all talked about the feminist outrage.
A TON of people said no one would cared if it was a man. Why do you think these people you are complaining about care at all about "chocking" by itself?

Jesus.

>the ess-jay-dubyas hate it, so I love it!

You're both as bad as each other.

>>83565428
Try to understand what people have been telling you over and over again...
And the perfect example, I think, is WHAT IF that billboard ad had a picture of WeaponX, covered in blood, stabbing a lab guard to death?
Think about it, that's the big sellingpoint to all fanboys, it would sell the tickets, fill the seats, make da munny...
HOWEVER, the ad execs knew that such an ad would be a criminally obscene level of violence to put on a fifty-foot tall billboard for everyone's little old grandma to see. But they couldn't even recognize an ad of choking a woman as a depiction of violence. They didn't notice that was a depiction of hurting a person.
THAT'S the misogyny, not the illegal imagery of violence itself, the not noticing when it's happening to a woman. THAT'S what made it a feminism issue: that double standard.
But of course, it's criminal to advertise with images of violence in either case, so now this demand that the law should have been ignored in this instance because it's a woman shown being hurt is a whole other level of misogyny double standards, but this time it's deliberate.
You want a second-class status for women in the enforcement of the laws? That is what has been called for.
How is that not misogyny in your eyes?

>>83565637
You are making up that I am bitching at people in this thread that are complaining about feminists. Did you confuse me for another anon? I am not bitching at anons bitching at feminists. I think I even said that in a post you replied. I am just saying that, sadly, the obnoxious SJWs have a reason to be obnoxious because of the feminist angle + choking/violence. You are angry at multiple anons.

>>83565590
FUCK

>>83565655

I don't know if you misreplied, but I'm arguing the poster was bad and the complaints against it were valid. We don't disagree with each other.

>>83565671
You completely dodged the point that ruins your argument.

You are arguing with people who said this wouldn't have gotten taken down if it was a man.
These people are specifically talking about feminism.

Yet you keep saying that it would. That people would make an equal outroar. You are bitching about us bitching about feminism because you don't think we should bitch about it.

>>83559679
The reason is because he's a bad man. We can all see that's a bad man commiting a reprehensible act, why can't you?

>>83565671
And there's the logical fallacy of confirmation by the masses.
"If everyone was jumping off a cliff, it must be the smart thing to do!"
You have reasoned that because other people havethe same beliefs, your beliefs must therefor be valid.
That is not true.
You can not be trusted to have sound judgement when you use faulty reasoning such as this.

>>83565633
White women in western 1st world countries are the most comfortable, privileged, well-looked after people on the face of the planet. They have to actively seek out things to convince themselves and others that they are oppressed.

Who here, regardless of whether it's on man or woman, thinks depictions of violence should be fair game for movie ad posters? Raise your hands.

>>83565740
I do, but then again I really don't care about
>muh children

>>83565698
This is my other post >>83565097

I said there would still be complaints, but maybe not the same severity, because it would only have one angle (violence angle) as opposed to having two (feminist and violence in general). And again, why do you think I'm telling you not to bitch about feminists? By all fucking means, rant about them. All I'm saying is that the SJWs this time has a reason because Fox fed it to them, sadly. That doesn't mean you aren't allowed to counter them, especially when they drag children into their arguments.

>>83565633
The whole backlash was started by Rose McGowan, you know the actress who played a role in charmed, got fucked by Marylin Manson and is now moslty forgotten, so she needed something to be relevant again.

>>83565682
Well I suppose that's not to bad that's still only 2 bits of social justice retardation from wizards this and the continued refusal to use there instead of his or her.

>You fucking bet. Not sure if it will be the same severity

Unless you mistyped you still think this would have gotten taken down regardless of the women. In fact, you act like it would still be a huge deal.
I also believe you are the guy who keeps mentioning "fox marketing deparment" in most of his post so you probably are arguing that >>83564546 or the other one.

Ofcourse you can pretend you didn't tell people that this was fox's fault for violence and that the ad was stupid when people were talking about the feminist outcry and not whether or not violence matters.

So I will phrase this hypothetically. If you are telling us we don't understand that this is a bad ad than you don't understand what we are complaining about. If you are that person than you are completely wrong.

>>83556975
I find it hilarious how everyone shills about Mystique in the movie but in the ad her main picture is Apocalypse chokes her like a bitch.

And apparently she's one of those who doesn't like gay men either.

People want the occasional cozy issue but you run the risk of a new guy picking up that issue thinking it's the norm and leaving the store

The ad is a bit questionable to be honest. I mean, why that specific image? Isn't there something else in X-Men more interesting? Overall though they were dumb for taking it down. Free speech is dead because it "offends" triggered SJW retards.

Civil War had Zemo

>>83566489
>Civil War had Zemo
The writers of Civil War actually CONSIDERED having the entire movie be just Tony Stark hunting down Bucky and trying to murder him. Because that was really what the plot is. However they decided they needed a villain to distract the audience for most of the film.

>>83566538
>However they decided they needed a villain to distract the audience for most of the film.
That's still having a villain, as you yourself admit.

>>83556975
Ok. Now how do we get them to apologize for the actual movie?

>>83566489
Civil War had generic operator slav named Zemo. Biggest fucking waste of a named villain I've ever seen.

>>83566577

You'd like him if he wore hyena fur and a pink ski mask.

>>83566552
>That's still having a villain, as you yourself admit.
A villain who is used to distract the audience.

Anyway, I really don't mind villains being villains. I am the guy who complained that it is pathetic that Apocalypse is showing how tough he is, by chocking a girl who was never that strong in a fight and was only able to murder normal humans.

It was refreshing to have a villain who was just muddying the waters and egging on the antagonism between the heroes.

It was a splendid fake-out when the rote "Heroes settle their differences to battle the villain in the climax" that EVERYONE was expecting in Russia turned out to be nothing of the sort.

Sorry if it didn't work for you, but a lot of us enjoyed that more than "Le CGI Spectacle" that finished BvS and Apocalypse.

>>83557635
Saw some guy comment on Sketchd about how he would never let his son buy DC comics these days after he saw that cover.

Say what you will about buckling to the shit fests but a large majority of this country lives with a perpetually sandy vagina they only get sandier any time they see or hear something other than pleasantries and niceties.

Marvel probably would have made a "sorry for that" cover with the positions switched and it would have sold billions.

>>83566685
>Sorry if it didn't work for you, but a lot of us enjoyed that more than "Le CGI Spectacle" that finished BvS and Apocalypse.
Oh I enjoyed it. I am just saying it was a fake out because the writers realised that it would be a very short movie, if the Hydra guy at the start of the film had told Zemo everything he needed to know.

Everything in X-Men felt like the same old stale shit except Quicksilver.
That's my assessment. Apocalypse was a very poor villain.

>>83556975
what reason is there to apologize and for what exactly? whose minority group's feelings were hurt this time?

>>83566854
Giant promotional posters of women being choked out apparently not a favorite among certain women.

Has anyone else tried this sort of image for a movie advert?

He's choking her because she walked up and slashed his throat with a Katana.

Apocalypse was simply defending himself whilst restraining the attempted murderer.

He did nothing wrong.

>>83566854

THOSE NIGGAS ARE BLUE. The audience sees the blue first. It's alien and uncanny. Coupled with the "only the strong will survive" tagline, the movie is clearly about superhuman/posthuman/not-quite-human beings vying for dominance. It summarizes the movie and, while not being good, it's not a bad poster.

Real feminisim is being able to choke bitches of both genders on billboards.

>>83567044
>the movie is clearly about superhuman/posthuman/not-quite-human beings vying for dominance
It would help if the billboard had bothered to show that she was armed. Because it is hard to talk about vying for dominance when all we can see is a naked female.

>>83566962
Apocalypse can work. Him as featured in the X-Men cartoon was one of the best written /co/ villians of all time.

They should have just stolen all his dialogue from that, then this shit would have gravitas.

>>83567069
>vying for dominance

In the Darwinian sense. Because it's got a Darwin reference in the tagline. The strong (Apoc) is making the weak (Mystique) extinct.

>>83567093
>In the Darwinian sense. Because it's got a Darwin reference in the tagline. The strong (Apoc) is making the weak (Mystique) extinct.
I thought they are trying to sell Mystique as the new leader of the X-Men? How is making her look weak suppose to do that?

>>83564843
True strength is getting people who actually matter to do things for you by picking a blind-spot and picking at it until they notice you. It's totally a matter of collective strength, and not at all like being a remora on the ass-end of a shark. You're the chessmaster!

Unless, of course, you'd get in the way of their profit without giving them an out - then you can just fuck off. But you're still strong! The right side of history will humble them, eventually, maybe.
