I used to read Marvel for many years and eventually stopped. Not because there was anything wrong with the comics or a particular story. I just had other things to do and I lost interest in comics.

I heard that Civil War 2 ended and I was considering picking up Marvel comics again, but I have this feeling that if I try reading current Marvel I'll just end up getting pissed off.

I'm a white, male, Trump-supporting Christian and I'm concerned that if I read Marvel comics, all I'll end up getting is a bunch of social commentary designed to make me feel like a terrible person. I know the people working at Marvel Studios are a bunch of liberal douchebags and all the Avengers stars went on their whole pissy fit where they literally begged people not to vote for Trump.

You don't see a whole lot social commentary in the Marvel Studios films, but I know comics are a very different story. There's more incentive to keep social commentary out of film than there is to keep it out of comics. Since the 2000s at least, comics have been full of social commentary.

tl;dr Can Trump supporters get any enjoyment out of reading Marvel or will they just get bombarded by liberal propaganda?

Nope, stick to DC. What makes Rebirth so great is that they've taken a stance against SJW pandering and are trying to push leftists out of the industry.

It's really pretty outstanding how DC keeps innovating and pushing the medium forward into new and interesting ways while providing affordable but hard hitting masterpieces and genre-defining works, meanwhile Marvel is pretty much nothing but SJW shilling meme-garbage.

It blows my mind that anyone would ever waste money on Marvel when DC is, in literally every single way, a thousand times better.

Depends on what you consider propaganda.

There's still good comics from Marvel, though. Vision was pretty good, and didn't really have any social commentary.

...OK, Vision's pretty good.

I guess it really depends what you're into, though. Some titles, like Gwenpool appeal to their audience, and Ms. Marvel's social commentary wasn't too bad (up until where I read). People seem to like Captain Hydra.

First of there are other comic publishers besides marvel and dc that do better work you should check out.Second of all not every marvel series is SJW or suffering from social commentary,nova,ultimates,unworthy Thor,USAvengers,she hulk,cho hulk,daredevil etc,when marvel does do social commentary it's weak and it's best to avoid those titles but this whole meme that either dc,marvel or any company can be universally good or universally bad has got to stop.

He's just shitposting. Jen's new book is about how the trauma from CWII has fucked up her transformation so instead of turning into she-hulk, she becomes a roided out rage monster akin to Bruce's transformation, so the book is called "Hulk" instead of "She-Hulk."

But if you want "female -> male" transformations, check out Great Lakes Avengers. The new member of the team is a girl named Good Boy who can turn into her fursona, a blue wolf-man.

Both books (GLA #3 and Hulk #1) have been storytimed and can still be read through the archives if you're interested.

Marvel's just trying to pique outside interest in the industry and they're seeing market trends change because women are supposedly about half of the people who buy comic books, according to some research. You may hate Spider Gwen, Gwenpool, (I'm not particularly fond of them either) and any of the major heroes who are now female but that's where Marvel thinks the industry is heading so naturally they hire on writers who are more interested in telling minority/women led stories. And with that you get the more left-leaning messages too because, well, most women and minorities ain't exactly Trump people. At least the ones who buy comics books aren't.

I'm all for representation in comics and I don't see how it harms anyone if a black kid can pick up a comic book and see a cool hero he can identify with the same way white nerdy kids identified with Peter Parker growing up. Instead of throwing them a token black dude, why not give them a major hero representing them? Same with girls reading female-led comics. Female Thor's not really my cup of tea but I bet there's a girl or young woman out there who eats that shit up.

It's just for different folks. If you don't want to read it, that's fine, but I don't begrudge its existence. Maybe it's because I haven't really been reading Marvel lately but I just don't see what the big deal is with changing the status quo to reflect a more diverse cast. I'm probably with you guys when it comes to personal taste. I'm not claiming to be some sjw who will buy seven copies of all of these “super progressive comics” but what's the harm in trying something new?

It's why we see a lot of female-led comedies and action movies now, isn't it? Because the male ones have been done before. So why not try something different? Whether they're good or not is a different story but I can at least appreciate trying to cater to a different audience and try to find a way to keep the stories fresh and interesting.

i never said it was good but claiming it's "bad" is blatant shitposting. it has some problems, most of which were fixed in the utlimate edition which i highly recommend everyone go out and buy because it's absolutely worth it, but it's still a solidly "decent" movie even without the ultimate edition's additions and changes to improve the pacing and clarity, and if nothing else, it's way better than any of the mcuck films.

You know, if they wanted more female readers they could have Spiderman in a long term romantic relationship like when he was married to Mary Jane. Perhaps drawn 90s style when he looked kinda sexy because you could see everything and his personality was great.

Spreading lies and half-truths on /co/ about comic stuff as a way to be able to pinpoint who actually knows what they're talking about and who are just posting stuff they read on here and took as fact despite not actually reading the related comics is a time honored tradition.

It's just that it used to be a way to pinpoint the handful of people that don't read comics and just regurgitate memes. Nowadays, the people who don't read comics and just regurgitate memes accounts for like 90% of /co/'s userbase so it's pretty pointless.

Not OP here.

The problem I always have with "trying something new" is that they stop doing the "old" thing that worked and had a lot of fans. Porque no los dos? That's the main thing that irks me. Their argument is always "hey we had done this in 1982, now in this decade we'll be doing this other thing", fuck, I wasn't alive in 1982, and I don't want to wait a decade to pass to get the comics I like. Why can't they create diverse-whatever stuff for the new readership, but keep doing the stuff the old readership likes too? That's why fucking Batman keeps outselling all of Marvel, because DC knows what Batfags want and keeps giving it to them on a steady basis. Too bad DC is shit with most of their other books
>>
>>88768019

What I don't like is how they keep fucking over white male heroes.

Yeah, I get it, blah blah, representation, diversity, too many white men, blah blah. But those are characters I've grown attached to, characters I don't want to see getting fucked over.

Why not create a new Ultimate Universe? One populated with diverse versions of classic characters. That way, they could see which version is more popular, and keep both audiences entertained.

Why not go the route DC went with Tangent Comics (pic related)? Keep the trademarks, but use them to make new original characters. Kind of the way they did with Kamala Khan, whose only similarity to the original Ms.Marvel is the name.

Last but not least, why not go the Hawkeye route? There's a male Hawkeye and a female Hawkeye, both are valid, both are interesting characters.

I'd read the hell out of that. I think most other dudes would too. I wish Quesadilla didn't fuck with the status quo so badly because of MUH PETER. Bitches Love Spider-Man was a great series. We need more slice-of-life Marvel stuff.

And girls would love a series that focused more on the day-to-day lives of male heroes with their love interests playing a prominent role too. The problem is that most comic book writers hear "love interest plays a prominent role" and think that she needs to get captured or nag him about quitting being a superhero.

What we really want to see are two partners supporting each other and having each other's backs through tough times together. Like a real couple. Make the problems external, not internal.

For the same reason they created a new black child to replace Iron Man when they already had one: They forgot, didn't care, or wanted a new original character to have copyright claims in case it becomes a money maker.

Modern Marvel is all about getting rid of legacy characters as much as possible, and the above is one of the reasons why.

I think the problem with this is that when they do this the experimental books don't sell as well as the main titles because they're under-promoted so they don't usually find the audience that would actually be interested as a result. I think it also unconsciously tells potential readers that the company isn't confident enough in the new story to make it be canon, if that makes any sense. It feels condescending to be like "Look, women! We're gonna give you a Joker too!" than to just say that the new Joker is a woman now. If I were a woman, I'd be a lot more interested in reading a female Joker in the main Batman comic versus some Elseworlds story with the premise "what if the Joker was a woman?"

I may just be speaking for myself (maybe that Tangent cover you just posted sold one million copies and I'm the dumb schmuck who has never heard of it) but I didn't even know Tangent Comics was a thing. I'm betting most people don't either. So I think that's part of the problem.

I dig that cover though.

I'm leftist a fuck but MUH SUPERMAN is always American values and doing the right thing. Just feel good superhero shit. That's my jam. The more the comics follow that model, the better for me.

I wish being a hero who fights for truth, justice, and the American way didn't get so many eyerolls from people these days. Superman represents the best of us. He's an aspirational hero. But we don't like to do those anymore. Heroes have to be "relatable".

You answered your own question.

No there is nothing for you in current Marvel comics because your age group of a given audience (because lets face it those kids and their Instagram or snap chat is as annoying to you as anything that smells SJW-ish) stopped buying their product in lucrative numbers because they grew up and got busy ergo stopped giving them that $$ they need. So they had to go looking for what they thought the kids would like so they could get their $$ which like most entertainment means you no longer really enjoy it.

The films are different because they are targeted at a different audience/money. As much as they are for kids and their $$ they are more after the general audience parents/ people 20-40 and after their $$$$$ like most action films.

Essentially the comics couldn't afford to keep putting out the sort of stuff you liked and survive especially in the face of massive movie sales because you and your peers were no longer buying it. It's arguable if they will keep surviving much longer.

tl;dr your ass is too old for this shit. have a pic of Winona Ryder

Ultimate Marvel was a success when it just started. Especially Ultimate Spider-Man. For a lot of young readers in the 00s, Ultimate Marvel books were the gateway drug that got them into Marvel.

>I think it also unconsciously tells potential readers that the company isn't confident enough in the new story to make it be canon, if that makes any sense.
No one except comic nerds cares about "canon". Miller's Dark Knight wasn't canon, yet it got more people interested in Batman than the "canon" Batman books of the day.

>It feels condescending to be like "Look, women! We're gonna give you a Joker too!" than to just say that the new Joker is a woman now.
No one reacted that way to Hawkeye or Kamala Khan. If the character is interesting, and isn't portrayed as a sidekick of the original, people are gonna enjoy them. And also, if that's "condescending", why isn't "Look, women! We won't give you an original female character, we're gonna give you a Joker too!"

>I may just be speaking for myself (maybe that Tangent cover you just posted sold one million copies and I'm the dumb schmuck who has never heard of it) but I didn't even know Tangent Comics was a thing. I'm betting most people don't either.
They aren't a current thing, they were a thing in the late 90s I think. They were a line of comics that used existing trademarked names for essentially new and different characters.

Marvel has literally always been liberal and DC Rebirth has many minority lead books. Sorry to break it to you anon - most comic book creative teams vote democrat. The execs are another story but the talent is definitely left leaning and always has been in both camps.

>No one except comic nerds cares about "canon". Miller's Dark Knight wasn't canon, yet it got more people interested in Batman than the "canon" Batman books of the day.
Maybe canon isn't the right word. I should have said "official". I think most casuals want the official thing because that's the thing that has the most exposure and is the easiest to get access to. That's more or less what I meant. The Dark Knight Returns had a lot of things going for it that lead to the high sales. It wasn't part of the numbered Batman series of comics, it was just its own mini-series. That helped a lot, especially for casuals. You mean I only have to buy 4 issues to read this Batman story? Sold! And lastly, it was essentially the ending to a story we all knew and loved. Making it Batman when he's older was a brilliant move because we all love a great "old man reflects on his life and choices" story. It feels connected to everything that was before. It doesn't need to be "canon" because it's more than canon. That's why something like that is an exception.

Most things aren't like that. They barely get notice from people because they feel like supplemental material instead of the real deal.

Yes, your average comic buyer is a retard that doesn't care about quality and only wants to read "important" comics. That's why events always sell like hot cakes despite being universally garbage while genuinely good comics get ignored because:

Probably not. Can you imagine Spider-Man saying "yeah man get those mexicans outta here!" The only time you might have gotta some enjoyment out of Marvel was anytime before the 70's (Lee tried to make everything politically neutral as possible) and a brief period in the early 2000s where everything went all edgelord, superheroes killed everyone and gay jokes were in.

Otherwise, stick with Cerebus the Aardvark I guess.

Spain didn't have injuns as slaves, that was banned by the kings, the first law that recognize rights to them is from 1512 (20 years after the discovery), and last, lots of thems died of smallpox and things like that sure, but remember that wasn't do on purpose and that 1/3 of the european population die 4 diseases in the Middle Age

But the stories have always been pandering. Marvel has always written with their audience in mind. In 60's it was stories for children and young teenagers, from the 90's onward it was for nerds and collectors, and now the demographics are shifting for the diverse audience that enjoys the Marvel movies. And just because it's not targeted at you anymore doesn't mean the works won't be well written or interesting either. You think early days of comics were non-stop home runs? The good gets remembered, the bad gets forgotten. It's gonna be the same way now.

Wrong.

In the 60s, Marvel made actually good stories that first and foremost reflected what Stan, Jack, Steve and others wanted to create. They didn't try to pander, and that's probably why their comics were able to break the mold of "just for kids and young teens", and actually attract older teens and young adults.

The ones who did all the pandering back in the 60s were DC (picrelated)

If you think about it, the last time Marvel was putting out good comics was the 80s. The 90s were trash and nearly put them out of business, the 2000s had a few good books like Brubaker Cap and Cosmic stuff, and the 2010s are just fucking awful save for Vision.

Another book. They want Jane to be the main Thor.

There are non-political books, occasionally. For instance, The Vision by Tom King is not political. Neither is Warren Ellis's Moon Knight.

I completely understand where you're coming from, though. Too many books try to bring in the usual social progressive agenda, and they do it with typical ham-fisted stupidity. For instance, Sam Wilson as Captain America is all about that. So are all the new minority heroes like the inexplicable 'Iron Heart', who shares the name of a Japanese sentai-themed porno.

Boy, that annoyed me so much. Yes, I realized they're both called Hawkeye, but I was reading Matt Fraction's Hawkeye to see Clint, not Kate Bishop.

I mean, Kate Bishop's origin story has her being raped by hobos. Getting crusty hobo cock in her all orificies was likely the highlight of her day.

It's not about marketing though. It's about Marvel stripping Thor of his entire identity and giving said identity to Jane Foster for no reason (and also having other characters extol the greatness of how Thor is now a woman omg u guiz)

Frankly, the only audience that really matters is nerdy white guys. Let's be honest, the industry runs on geeks. Trying to bring in women readers and young girls is not going to work, and SJWs don't buy books.

>Manara and Cho can go do whatever they want. They don't need big 2.
That still doesn't make what Marvel did to Manara and what DC did to Cho okay.

>a book that shouldn't have had a pin up variant because of the audience Marvel wanted to read it.
I disagree. That's why it's a variant.
Spider-Woman wasn't a "girls only, no boys allowed" book. It was a book with a main female audience, but also a fringe male audience. Main readers would get the normal cover, but some enthusiasts could go out of their way to get the Manara variant. That's how variants work, you know.

And that's assuming that ALL women absolutely hate Manara's pinups. Which isn't true, considering Milo has a huge female fanbase in Europe (and at least some in America, I assume).

>there is a time/place/market for that art and it wasn't that spider-woman book.
The thing is, in [current Marvel] there is no place for such art at all, even on variants. There was a quite telling article on The Mary Sue recently (back when Manara and Cho met up at a con), that explicitly said that in [current year] the progressive way to go is to not let "cheesecake" art exist in the Big Two in any capacity whatsoever.

Actually, why can't we get a Conservative Captain America? Like, Captain America has generally been very liberal, with Ultimate Captain America being the exception.

Like, the Bush-era Captain America was Bucky. The Obama-era Captain America is Sam Wilson, though honestly he's come in too late to really count. Can't we have a Trump-era Captain America? I dunno, someone like Chris Kyle with superpowers? I mean, they created Nuke as the Captain America of the Vietnam War, right?

You know, I would be really happy with Miles if Peter settled down and was happily married.

Like, poor guy deserves a break. If anyone's read Astro City, one hero realizes that he'll die, and soon - And his son will grow up without a father. (This causes one to become a psychotic 90s-era vigilante, and the other to become Venom.)

He ultimately decides to train a replacement and provide mission support. Peter could totally do that for Miles, if they're so insistent on getting a Black Spider-man whether we want him or not. It'd be a lot more respectful and nuanced than having another guy with the SAME NAME running around and being touted as the 'bestest spidey ever'.

I mean, Miles is a transplant from another universe.

>they are literally making it up as they go

Because no-one wants non-white male heroes. If they don't fuck them over, the 'alternatives' would have no chance.

Let's say you have Iron Man and you bring in Iron Heart. Interesting, but why should I read Iron Heart - who is a Iron Man imitator - when I can read about Tony instead?

Similarly, Miles was introduced to replace the dead Ultimate Peter Parker. (It didn't stick). If both books were running concurrently, why would I read Miles over Peter? Peter's Ultimate Spider-man run is amazing, and I'm simply more invested in him.

VARIANT.
COVER.
Do you know what it means anon? It means a gimmick art piece that is billed as a "cover" but is essentially just a bonus artwork that has no connection to the style of the comic itself.
Yes, a Chaykin or Dillon variant cover would be as cool.

Captain America is supposed to be a paragon of what we could be as a country. An idealist to the core. To make a conservative Captain America is to make him cynical and sociopathic.
>>
>>88773008

Surely there must be Muslim terror cells, drug cartels and immigration-themed supervillains, right? I mean, there are probably superpowered ISIS cells out there. The Iron Nail was a Chinese supervillain, for instance. How about domestically? BLM is a terrorist organization, for example. Can't their leaders be militant blacks trying to bring about the race war? What would you call the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam?

Can't we have stories about defending America from evil foreign threat? Why don't we have stories about coyotes smuggling in dangerous illegal immigrants with superdrugs? Or Captain Britain having to defend Britain from the Islamic invasion - uncovering child sex rings, home-made jihadists created by a mullah with unnatural, demon-granted charisma - and working with his fellow Captains to stem the flow of Syrian refugees?

We all know that ISIS is smuggling fighters into Europe via the brown tide. Can't we be at least a little topical about this?

I don't know, a Hurt Locker-ish Captain America sounds great to me. A cynical former Afghanistan veteran, all burned-out by the Middle East wars, but still fighting for America because it's all he knows.

You could also reflect on how he wished he fought in a 'good war', but recently it seems America only fights 'bad wars'.

DC and Marvel have always skirted around directly referencing events. That's why so many fake countries exist in both settings. You know - Qurac, Vlatava, Latveria.
>>
>>88780400

I would honestly prefer that hypothetical Captain America to be new to his powers. Maybe he gets his abilities as part of a 'radical new therapy' to cure his PTSD.

Then he finds out that the war has followed him home. You could even have him mostly wear military fatigues at first and initially rely on knives and guns, before gradually 'graduating' to the full Captain America costume. I mean, you don't learn how to use a shield overnight.

I mean, Thor has gotten some good character development out of it. Unworthy thor is shaping up to be a good read.

Having thor be unworthy is an interesting story turn, having someone take up his hammer and do a job he would approve off add complexity.

As much as you hate the jane foster storyline having a significantly weakened thor odin son traveling the universe while trying to become worthy on paper is a good story.

Yeah, but the point is that Trump was supposed to have no chance at all. Look at the man, he's a fucking joke. And whatever gerrymandering or stupid tricks that may have been pulled, there's no way they could surpass whatever the Democrats were doing.

This is a fact - Hillary had the whole apparatus of state on her side. She had the media, the celebrities, and Obama's complete support. Trump won't know how to rig an election if his life depended on it - He simply doesn't have the political capital, experience or connections.

Even scraping out a narrow win should have been impossible for Trump. Like, he shouldn't have been able to win AT ALL. The mere fact he did is like a man taking down an F-16 with a sling.

And the man is drunk and blind.

Republicans were so frustrated with trying to win with an intellectual candidate like Romney last time, that they forced into desperation. And in their desperation, they turned to a man they don't fully understand. Trump ran for president because he thought it would be good sport. Some men aren't looking for something logical, like democracy. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men, just want to watch a country burn.

There was even more gerrymandering in 2008 and 2012. Republicans had actually serious candidates. And in 2008, the Dem candidate had less government experience than Hillary. And he was black.

Yet all those people voted for Obama. "Nearly 3 million popular vote" - bitch please, Obama managed to get more, and not just in blue states, and that's how he won, crooked system or not.

Stop looking for excuses, Hillary was a shitty candidate with a shitty campaign
