Taina Miranda

>“A Puerto Rican character from Washington Heights, New York, Taina has talent as an engineer. She builds robots, working with scrap and salvaged junk, while also facing multiple sclerosis. Taina looks forward to having the money and facilities to make better prototypes. And her sister Alexis first appears in a Hawkeye story I did in A YEAR OF MARVELS.”

LaShayla “Shay” Smith

>“A physicist from Brownsville, Brooklyn, Shay has a lot in common with me as a teenager: a Latchkey kid who goes home on her own at the end of the school day. During that time, she works on her science and tends to get in trouble thanks to her work. She has a tendency to blow things up and break things. She currently focuses on teleportation and faster-than-light travel.”

Priya Aggarwal

>“Priya, a second-generation Indian American, lives in Queens, specifically Jackson Heights. She specializes in biology, and botany in particular. But she keeps her intelligence largely hidden because she just wants to be a regular kid, and do normal, popular kid stuff. Priya shows reluctance when it comes to joining the group, and Nadia has to persuade her. But we’ll see her come into her own.”

Universe doesn't mean literal universe anymore

Another thing these cartoon-watching lore-obsessed videogame-manual-raised talentless shits has brought into comics is "Universe means "this handful of characters and this vague city block they occupy"

Because pandering.

Marvel is making me feel like I need to apologise for being female all the time. These people have their heads so far up their asses it's unbelievable.

Hey its dumb trash wearing a weird outfit to distract the public from her lack of talent!

Honorable Mentions
>“Lunella Lafayette—aka Moon Girl—will appear in the second and third issues [of UNSTOPPABLE WASP]. We’ll see her around, though she’ll have some other issues of her own that she’ll have to deal with, too. I’ve talked to the creative team on [MOON GIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR], and we’d like to do some more crossovers with her.

>“We’d love to do some stuff with Riri Williams, as well. We could have a lot of fun putting all of these super-intelligent girls together, and they could get into all sorts of situations.
>>
>>88959219
Taínos were the indigenous people of pre-Columbian Puerto Rico. It’s like calling a Mexican character “Azteca Valles” or some dumb shit. That said, I do know a few women called Taína so it’s not like it’s inaccurate or something.

Yes, probably three times as obnoxious. Maybe even a reference to that Hidden Figures movie since she played a supposed physicist or something.
>>

Yeah that's actually weird. But I guess even liberal Americans think America is the center of the universe.

>>88959219
>>88959305
I thought Reed and his kids were the smartest in the universe, not world.

This feels very Batgirl of Burnside. I don't think these are the top four smartest women in the universe though, to anons being triggered by that. They're just the smart women Nadia picks up for her group.

WHERE DA WHITE WIMMEN AT
>>
>>88959536
>somewhat common

Where? Most girls in my area have normal names. The most common name I keep hearing is Alexandra and variants.
>>
>>88959372
>>88959461
>>88959532
Are you people stupid? Those are their nicknames, their real names are under them.

>Bacteria
>Thiego Alves de Sousa
>>
>>88959561
Most of those are clearly nicknames of adult people

Black names are still dumber on average.
>>
>>88959444
>job description.

Wait what?
>>
>>88959597
I guess common is way too broad, but it’s not an extremely uncommon one either. I’m just pointing out that there’s a precedent for using the name. I do think it’s stupid to call your child Taína anyway.
>>
>>88958902
>>88958918

>>
>>88959461
note how their real names are written in smaller print under their "artist name". you can basically assume any name you want in Brazil, I've read recently that there were like 3 candidates who called themselves Obama in some minor town election. on the other hand naming kids after stars/well known people is popular too, Roberto Baggio was one of the greatest football players from Italy in the 90s (if you aren't a eurofag) and Ruud Gullid was a pretty good and flashy Dutch one from the late 80s.
Also I distinctly remember a screenshot of a player called Johnlennon but can't find it right now.
Oh and Van Basty probably named himself after Marco van Basten, another Dutch player from the late 80s

Are you guys serious right now? it's not a normal business suit, it's a fashion suit, you can tell by the cut and the way the lapels flare out at the top.

Aside from that, women do not traditionally wear suits, although I do love a woman who can pull one off, this smacks clearly of "i'm trying to be quirky and different ! LOOK AT ME!"
>>
>>88959818
This is my biggest frustration with this desu. Them all being New Yorkers is a close second.

I really don't have any problem with Marvel deciding they want more women/ethnic/child superheros, they're just doing an absolutely shit job of introducing them.
>>
>>88959644
I find white people tend to fuck with 'regular' names more often than not, adding y's and k's to make them unique.

Of course this might be biased because my friend works with kids and is constantly telling me dumb kid names.

I'd say most dumb white names just aren't vocally dumb enough to notice.

What sometimes pisses me off about Marvel "diversity" is that when they create Latinos/as characters they don't look beyond Central America, it's like they forget that South America exist, I mean where are my Chilean, Argentinian, Peruvian, Venezuelan, Bolivian, Brazilian, Ecuadorian characters?

Fuck off Marvel. Creating 1 Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban character doesn't mean you are representing all the Latinos people

This, agent Venom was the longest running Venom title And Bendis fucked it along with all the writers who wanted to use him, because he wanted to exploit him selfishly for one shitty book or two in an abysmall GOTG run.

Because most of the Latinos they have in the US are Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans, it's all they know.

And even then those characters are usually just Chicanos or Floridian Cubans because the "representation" is just US centric.

The pandering is pretty bad, I understand the desire to make some non-white-male supergeniuses but the simple fact was that in the 1960s when most of these geniuses were created you didn't have a whole lotta women getting their doctorate.

And the geniuses were introduced as "#4 on the smarts list", they were made as characters and shown as smart over months, years, decades. Doom isn't on the list because he was created to be on the list, Doom is on the list because he made a goddam time machine while living in a medieval castle.

I guess I'd prefer if the writer had delved into marvel continuity and found existing characters who could have been used more than these forced OCs. There aren't any female geniuses already running around? Is Valeria in this group? Didn't War Machine have a super-smart niece (or is that Steel? or both?) Surely there has been a super-smart female mutant at some point in the x-men's history? Wasn't there a female Leader at some point? M.O.D.A.M? How about pulling an Avengers Academy and showing us some new children of smart heroes or villains?

These characters will never be referenced outside of this one book that will be lucky to make it 12 issues.

Not exactly true. we are a very informal culture, so nicknames are VERY usual, except if you have an uncommon name, that is also easy to say. Does not happen a lot.

Political names function like artist names here, you can select any name you want when running for office.

I don't give a shit about them being all brown girls. Whatever.

My problem is that they're four more goddamn teen geniuses from Marvel. As if they hadn't introduced in the last few years. And here they are on a team. And the writer wants them to be friends with the OTHER teen geniuses and go on adventures with them. How fucking boring.

A team is interesting because of their differences. The Justice League works because all their powers and personalities bring something to the table, most Sentai thrive on unique characters and their interactions, even the Avengers were built on the idea that none of these people really got along well because they were all so different. Even when things get muddled at least there's something there to play with.

They try and make them unique by differentiating their fields but that gives them such a boring situational needs that leads to stale writing. There's plenty Superman or Batman can do in a situation, but with Priya you're going to have to sit down and say "Well she needs a biology problem to solve this arc." every time you want to use her.

Marvel should be coming up with new ideas for characters, then making those characters black and gay or whatever. Instead they're writing characters for whom ethnicity, disability and sexuality are the only distinguishing features. They don't have real personalities or character hooks, they're just abstract avatars of diversity.

This shits me because a) as a liberal it makes my ideology look stupid b) it's just bad writing. Nobody at Marvel seems to be able to handle characterisation any more. I suppose part of the problem is that a good character has to have some kind of flaw, and your disabled Nepalese astrophysicist can't be a bad person in any way without attracting the wrath of Tumblr trolls who identify with her.

>>88986376

its weird how comicbook serialized storytelling finds itself torn between decompression to make any single story pad out to 6 issues (or more) while at the same time the meat of the story is never allowed to progress at an organic rate that could and should be allowed by that very decompression.

Don't tell us these people are the smartest on the planet, show us. Develop the characters over time instead of insisting upon forced and obviously-pandering declarations. You can pad out a Civil War fight over 8 issues that could've taken 1 issue, 2 tops, but you cannot afford to show me your new OC character is what you claim they are?

IMO we're to the post-decompression age. Spreading out a story might be annoying but at least its understandable if the spread is deployed well and the story actually gets told. But currently we have the *worst* of both worlds, stories are spread out for no other reason than to sell $24 in comics instead of $4 in comics, *and* they don't bother to use to spread to tell a story worth telling.

I honestly do not understand why you few remaining fans are paying for this sado-masocism. I'd given up on comics years ago if not for free sources online, and I still barely skim half the books which tells you how little I value even a free resource. Comics are awful right now and its not just the social justice stuff (albeit a non-trivial part of the problem), its that you're paying for a story you never actually receive. Its all one-sheet marketing, maybe an interesting reveal on the last page of the comic to get you to buy the next issue, nothing of interest occurred in all the previous pages, nothing of interest occurs on the followup pages until the final page again (maybe).

WOW they're SO intersectional!

Bend is somehow remembered Jessica Drew and Luke Cage so anything is in the realm of plausibility.

this new one could be her and night thrasher's daughter. even though i think silhouette was because of injury. would at least be some kind of interesting.

On the other hand, this new direction Marvel is taking is sure to introduce some readers to older and better Marvel comics

The really impressive part is that there isn't a dashing black man running a startup on the west coast that will join the team down the line. It shows an immense amount of self-restraint to not go for that in a story like this.

This is the worst.

I dislike the Jessica Jones character because she was shoehorned in. Marvel could have used a different character for her story line, but we'll just make up a new one, and have her back story that she was with the Avengers for a decade.

>All POC New Yorkers

Seriously, Marvel? I'd buy a Wakandan, a Japanese woman, or anyone from anywhere else, but it's four non-white New Yorkers?

Asians aren't a minority silly. Wakanda is too fictional according to the writer

I kinda want an indian superhero.
I'd make him a struggling but charismatic bollywoodactor. At one point he needs to pay rent, so he takes a questionable deal from some "producers" it's a set-up, and he's killed in the crossfire....or is he?

His body is dumped into a smouldering hole somewhere, but it turns out in this hole there's a smattering of terrigen mists still present. Just enough to cause a mutation in his blood stream and kickstart his innate mutant genes.

He miraculously heals from his wounds. But who were those people that kiklled him, and what did they have to do with his insidious employers? Buntuu has no idea, but he intends to find out.

Now just picture him with the most outlandishly stylish aviators, perfect hair, and a loud fur collared coat. There you go. No idea what his powers would be, but I want him to be able to blind people with his smile.

They've kind of always did this, but they were just as clueless back then. Why introduce Robin? So that kids could identify with a kid, but people read Batman for Batman, not his sidekick.

One of the most bizarre things I've read was Jimmy Olsen, you know, Superman's non-powered friend? Well, he had a Jimmy Olsen fan club because he was Superman's pal. Why not just have a Superman fan club?

I like how Marvel's answer to their lack of diversity is to kill off the white males that are in the way and replace them with other races. Who needs equality when you can just commit genocide?
