What The Fuck Marvel?

>>89563929
>Why the fuck didn't Marvel add anything to this?

Because it was published by IDW with assistance from DC. Marvel was never involved to begin with.

IDW and DC have a sot of working relationship. Examples: The Teen Titans/Batman crossover.

Marvel wasn't involved. Why would you expect their characters in it?

Some creators known for their Marvel work did submit things though.

>>89563929
>At least contribute some characters to this book.

DC and IDW have a working relationship. They've done crossovers in the past and have I think three going right now. This was their project, not Marvels

>>89563929
It's because Love is Love was co-published by DC and IDW. It's not like IDW just went "hey can we use your characters?" and DC went "sure, go for it." DC and IDW have done crossover books before and have a good working relationship (see: all the DC crossovers with TMNT/Star Trek/Power Rangers/etc.)

This was essentially just another crossover book. It's not like any Image or Dark Horse characters appeared either.

Marvel is the least progressive company in comics.

How did you not know that? They only support what they can make money off of.

>>89564066
To be fair, all the proceeds went to aiding the victims. And it's more than Marvel's ever done to actually help people, beyond bitching on Twitter.

Actually here's the thing I think Marvel was willing or at least creators were, do you want to know how I know? Bendis has a segment in this book making it his only other dc work and work at IDW. There was swathes of talent on this.

>>89564029

It wasn't just DC and IDW charters though. JK Rowling in her infinite grace allowed them to use Harry and the old gay fella

>>89564066

All the money made from the books went you the victims of you shooting asshole.

>>89564066
It was for charity Anon

>>89564104

I have no doubt the creators wanted to work on it. This is clearly down to Ike the Kike

>>89564100
>>89564127
Which is exactly why Marvel would never be involved.

>>89564066

While the page is horrible and scared shitless to mention who the shooter was and why he did it the book was still for charity

>>89563929
Marc Andreyko organized it and afaik he's never done any Marvel work, he went to people he knew including some DC and IDW editors, IDW and DC got involved at about the same time so Marvel was probably never a factor

Bendis did have a page though, and Aaron/Latour did a Southern Bastards-ish page

>>89564170

He has worked with Marvel. He wrote a Deadpool book.

>>89563985
>IDW and DC have a sot of working relationship
>The Teen Titans/Batman

>>89564066
Ironically it appears it is you who is using the victims in order to appear outraged at the "leftist agenda".

>>89564213
oh, my mistake

>>89564100
>>89564127
>>89564136
That doesn't make it much better. They had absolutely no need to shove a political ad into something that was supposed to be honoring the victims of a shooting.

>>89564170
Wilson had a page, but she has worked for DC before

>>89564278

What political ad? Are you talking about him showing people websites for creators of colour and queer creators?

Like, if so you have a really weird view on politics.

I will admit as much as this book was nice I wish it didn't have that Deathstroke page in it. That is not a character you use for a moral highground. Thank god for Deathstroke 11.

>>89564324
>but seriously, fuck the NRA

>>89564278
>That doesn't make it much better.
So they can't talk about the victims in the book that's raising money for them? Stop being such a fucking retard. You don't need to virtue signal about how so not leftist you are.

>>89564066

Then make it clear that you're criticizing specific pages instead of pretending the entire book was bad

Some people got it right.

>>89564335

This.

I stay away from these types of books because I know the characters will be OOC to stand on a soapbox.

I wold Gladly have given the money to the charity but I have no interest in the book

>>89564066
Believe it or not, they had a rule that they wernt going to push politics. That legitimately is their idea of not pushing politics.

>>89564335
That writer is a comedian, so the deathstroke page is clearly meant to be self-aware about that.

>>89564365
I mean it's a nice thing they did and all but.....

Look at the angry onlookers in the panel with the two guys kissing. They're all white, and the one guy looks like a priest. They're refusing to acknowledge who actually perpetrated the act.

Also, "cartoonists of color" has absolutely nothing to do with LGBT at all and was literally just shoved in there for promotion.

That's obviously Starfire.

they're BLUE.

>>89564385
The one that really worked was Extrano pages by Didio mostly because it was surprisingly deep look into some of the bad ideas DC has done and how much far they've come. It felt humble and sad rather than soapboxy.

>>89563929
Marvel loves to tout their diversity but they are actually hugely conservative. That's why they literally segregate their writers, forcing blacks to only write blacks.

>>89564481
Yeah that shit with Priest blew my mind.

>>89564066

That was my biggest gripe with the stories that actually did try to address the """causes""" of the shooting. They all washed over the religious motivation. And those that did chose to use a crucifix to represent any sort of religious motivation. Not to sound super /pol/-ish, but it sure as shit wasn't a conservitard Christian who went and shot up Pulse.

The Legion story that just called the guy "deranged" instead of calling him a religious zealot made me rage a bit too.

>>89564406
I would not call those pages self-aware.

>>89564441

Well I meant the DC charity specifically. I wasn't aware there were any others. I guess I could have just bought the book and given it to somebody else though. I think I'm just dumb, anon

>>89564494

>>89564494
>Not to sound super /pol/-ish, but it sure as shit wasn't a conservitard Christian who went and shot up Pulse.

It's not /pol/ish to state facts. /pol/'s blanket racism is dangerous but it's also dangerous to ignore the fact that Islam is very intolerant towards homosexuals

>>89564414
Honestly it was an interesting experiment just from an artistic standpoint just to see which creators used their space well and all. Since it's the same basic subject matter that kind puts them all on even footing.

True. But he certainly wasn't a white, conservative NRA supporter.

I'm literally an openly-gay guy who's a proud member of the NRA. The fact that I own, and carry, a gun has prevented me and my boyfriend from being gaybashed on multiple occasions. I will never see why the lefties hate guns so much. It's a lot harder to be another statistic when you can fight back.

>>89564522

>Implying you can possibly know what his motivation really was

He could have been ISIS from the start or maybe he just liked cock and couldn't handle that due to being Muslim. You're never going to know so it's pointless speculating on it

>>89564564
This.

Personally, I really liked the one of that only showed a closed door and had text saying it could be anyone behind it.

>>89564587
Are you the same guy who pulled a gun on a bunch of rednecks who were threatening you and your bf and then went home and had a threesome?

>>89564587
>I will never see why the lefties hate guns so much.

A lot of the left has flipped on that and are buying more guns because of oppressive government. That thing they called a lot of Republicans crazy and paranoid over.

As we have seen in Euroe the last couple of years if a guy gets it into his head to kill a bunch of people he's going to find a way to do it gun or not

>>89564593
>He could have been ISIS from the start
what's "the start" in this case

>>89564555
Anon, I think it's best to avoid all blanket generalizations.

>>89564644

Hahaha. I'm totally surprised people remember that on here.


>>89564650

If someone hates badly enough to kill, they'll do it regardless of what they can get their hands on. They'll switch to something else. IEDs, pipe bombs. You name it.

>>89564632
>DC is pretty sexist

Kys you false flagging idiot. DC has always been ahead of the curb when it comes to including women and has far more actual good female characters than any other company. You sound incredibly dumb.

>IDW and DC has a working relationship
So you be saying every publisher wants to be pals with DC while no one wants to be in the same room as Marvel?

>>89564772

Pretty much

>>89564743

This. I get that not all Muslims are like that. But, by and large, those "LBGT For Muslims" groups should just try going to Fallujah or Bagdhad and tell everyone that they're so happy to be in such a tolerant and enlightened country where everyone is cool with the fact that they smoke pole.

>>89564772
I think it's Marvel's choice but the result is the same regardless.

>>89564904
Lebanon is pretty liberal, comparatively

>>89564240

>>89564913
Lebanon is on par with Israel though and has a long cultured history of being ahead of the rest of the countries over there. I was speaking more about Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran. Hell most of those people don't even have running water.

>>89564925
Name a single DC female that fits that criteria. I will wait. If you say Wonder Woman you will get laughed off the board.

>>89564925
Ah so it's bait. No one feed them the (You)s.

They are either a dumbass casual that doesn't read comics or being purposely obtuse.

>>89564941
Iraq would be about as shitty as it is Muslim as it would be Christian though. The issues they have over there are more complex than the God they worship, even if local demagogues use that as a reason to go to war.

I personally haven't been complaining about Marvel using legacy characters.

Both companies go through phases with it. Hell, the Silver Age was essentially birthed through legacy characters (Green Lantern and The Flash).

/co/ and comic book readers are not monolithic in what they like and what they don't. During the fucking Infinity Gauntlet event neither Iron Man or Thor were the actual Thor or Iron Man; but you don't hear about people complaining about the fact that Infinity Gauntlet sucks cause it uses lame politically correct not-Iron Man.

Please tell me what your ideal superheroine would be? A landwhale who hates all men?

Batwoman isn't any of the things you are claiming whatsoever. She is her own complete heroine will a full body suit that doesn't objectify her in any way and she works completely independently. In fact the original Batwoman was BETTER than Batman at everything and richer.

>obedient
If you don't read comics you can just say so, man. I'd also hardly consider most of her costumes "skimpy" unless that's what you call some leg showing.
Mera, Batwoman, and Black Canary may be sex-objectified sometimes but they are not "subordinates" of their male counterparts. Black Canary and Mera are in relationships with men, but they are relationships based on love and trust and all that. If you view relationships that way then that's your problem.
Batwoman was mostly independent from Batman (by that I mean she barely interacted with the rest of the Batfamily) until pretty recently.

>>89565227
The creator of Wonder Woman literally believed women were superior to men.

>>89565567
Do lesbian women not date or wear underwear? Do they not get upset if their father betrays them? Have you ever even met a woman in real life that wasn't your mom?

>>89565519
Just look at it. Death in the background, life in the forefront. It's good because it's so simple. Can be general about the shooting (remember the people and not just that they were victims) or personal (focus on living a full life).

>>89565599

Yeah but Harry Potter was made at WB which owns DC.

>>89565519
I think each panel is a depiction of people dancing across different time periods, with life in the foreground and death in the background

this, to me, gives the implication that gay people have been dancing to feel life for decades and death has never stopped them

>>89565643
Anon, you are the one trying to shove every female into YOUR narrative. Some of us like to show off our bodies a little and don't feel the need to be ashamed of it.

Pepe was a meme that was memed into a new stage of memery, and then, he went further beyond, and they memed him so hard he retroactively changed the metaphysical concept of meme.

He went from feels good frog to sad frog to normie icon, then he was purified in a cataclismic REEEEE, he peepee poopoo'd in abject chaos until he achieved spiritual smugness, and mantled kek, emerging as the god of chaos itself, and reality was his meme.

That's the thing though, /pol/ aren't neo Nazi's. Not all of them anyway. They just wanted to take back Pepe from the normies. You know how shit Facebook memes are. So they used him in the most racist and fucked up shit they could to reclaim him. They went so far that it's a hate symbol now. If /co/ had half the drive /pol/ has we could have got Bendis to kill himself years ago

>>89566345
This. /pol/ crossboarders also have a strangely normative culture compared to other 4chan users, and regularly use bullshit MRA psychology to determine what's the "correct" way to fap to internet porn or to appreciate chinese cartoons that everyone else is doing wrong. It's just like whiny SJWs criticize you for your opinions but the other side of the political compass. So now we're getting shit on from both sides.

The election has had people see things in black and white. If I see somebody quote Harry potter again I'm going to drop a bollock. I feel like I'm the only person who noticed that the entire world is built on segregation. From the muggles to the houses. Even a good" Wizard like Dumbledore had a fucking slave race working at the school. How fucked up is that?

>>89566517

Literally slaves anon that's a bit much for "Dumbledore fucks up sometimes". The houses are bullshit as well, I'm sure a lot of those Slytherin kids wouldn't be such cunts if the entire school wasn't against them from day one

I didn't see it as a contempt among the non-evil people, just that they looked down upon those who couldn't do magic. Like they didn't even have a proper role for people born into their society but who didn't have magic. Siding with Voldemort is too extreme and would be like siding with someone who wants to kill people in wheelchairs. How they treat tech is similar. The dad seen as weird because it's thought of as beneath them and unnecessary. And strong magic fucks up electricity it's not entirely illogical for them to see it as excessive/incompatible.

She is the worst because of her influence.

Since Harry Potter has been released fiction have gone to shit. Because people who read Harry Potter while growing up aren't reading literature with any complexity at all.

Look at fucking John Green. John Green shouldn't sell as well as he does, but because people who read Harry Potter don't know what good prose is they eat up people like John Green and Nicolas Sparks. Shit like Hunger Games and 50 Shades of Grey wouldn't sell nearly as well as they did if JK Fuckhead hadn't crippled a generation of readers.

Hell, there was some retarded interviewer talking to George RR Martin and she said she thought Song of Ice and Fire was better than Lord of the Rings. The expression on his face wasn't one of humility at such a comparison it was "wow this person interviewing me is one of the stupidest people I've ever met". That how insidious JK Smegmabreath is.

Ian Fleming and Thomas Harris planted the seeds with their garbage. Rowling just landed a finishing blow.

Virtue Signaling: The comic.

>>89564587
My mother's one of those gun-hating lefties, so maybe I can try to explain how they see things (not one myself). It mostly comes down to the fact that they see guns, as, ultimately, an instrument for wounding and killing, and thus don't see the point of them (outside of more rural activities such as hunting). Self defense? Their answer would be a knife or a tazer. Own them because they're cool? Just not something they can truly empathize with. Own them because of fear of government? Their argument would be that it won't actually accomplish anything. This is driven by some very real concerns about suicide rates and instances of kids getting killed by improperly secured friearms that are very real. The problem is that they latch on to mass shootings, probably the biggest issue that a gun ban wouldn't solve.

>>89568093

Neither Ian Fleming nor Thomas Harris had nearly the same popularity as JK I-Hate-Scotland. Her shit is like Lord of the Rings popular. But Tolkien actually knew what prose and storytelling are. Like Tolkien she was very popular was young readers. Unlike Tolkien she didn't teach people how to read.

The type of people who read Ian Fleming and Thomas Harris were never going to read Pynchon or McCarthy. But now that everyone from a generation has read Harry "Mary Sue" Potter they aren't going to read anything of value, not write anything of value.

>>89568097

I'm the OP and only read the book today. I found Love is Love to be incredibly cathartic. Just because you don't like the idea that a book can have a view that we shouldn't kill people because of their sexuality doesn't mean the only people who buy the book are buying it to show how "virtuous" they are.

>>89568040
Blaming all that shit on Rowling isn't really fair though. She's been as much a product of that environment as its enabler. That's just what pop culture does to art standards.

I wouldn't even say she's the worst of it. I would more blame video games for making people believe world immersion and legit good storytelling are the same thing.

>>89568177
>The problem is that they latch on to mass shootings, probably the biggest issue that a gun ban wouldn't solve.

Actually if you look at places where semi-auto and automatic guns have been banned mass-shooting rates have gone down significantly. Australia is a really good example of it.

But I do agree with you. I don't view the issue of mass-shootings and gun violence in the US entirely to do with people owning guns (nearly everyone in Switzerland owns a fucking assault rifles and they have more guns deaths from suicide than homicide yearly), but in Switzerland everyone is TRAINED with guns, and gun safety, plus mental health is treated a lot better there than it is in the States.

>>89568198

I was mostly talking about DC and IDW. Even the stated purpose of giving the proceeds reeks of "Look how virtuous and progressive we are. Now go out and buy our other products because we are such gooood people"

But yeah, now that you bring it up, Im pretty sure that people are buying it to show to at least themselves that they are "virtuous"

A question. What is wrong with Harry Potter other than "it influenced tons of bad shit"?
It's a kids' literature, that was never ever complex nor it should be. Hell, the series Rowling ripped off (I like the Worst Witch, it's a good series for kids, but let's be honest here) was even less complex.

>>89564587
>>89568177

The problem the progressive left (and really the center) has with guns are:

(a) the lack of enforcement of existing laws (for example, people on the no fly lists being able to buy guns and people being able to buy in ways that go around existing limitations on the number of guns, ammo, etc.)

(b) assault guns, machine guns, any rapid repeat fire weapon, armor piercing bullets, etc. etc.

You don't need a machine gun to keep from bein gay bashed and you don't need an assault rifle much less an RPG to defend your home in a burglary or home invasion situation.

>>89568652
(a) is a pretty legitimate point.

(b) is just sillly. Assault rifles and machine guns aren't even the most practical ways to commit a mass shooting.

>>89568198
>The type of people who read Ian Fleming and Thomas Harris were never going to read Pynchon or McCarthy
Oh wow, it's a /lit/ard mindset.
I sincerely hate the implication that if someone can read simple things and think they're good, they will never read anything complex or that there's anything wrong with simple things. (not defending shit like Hunger Games, by the way. It's terrible even from a pulp fiction standpoint)
It's just a belief that reeks of superiority complex.

>>89568511
so you're mad because DC and IDW are marketing themselves well? Or that people are buying the book because of the talent in it and it also goes to support a charity fun they want to fund?

Do people go out of their way to show they bought the book on twitter or something? I'm drawing a blank here.

Yeah that is pretty bad, but it's not like they didn't have the freedom to read good books. Look at Charles Dickens' books: they have a flow and rhythmic sounding style despite being prose writing. Modern books don't have that. It's grating to open up a random book and have the words jumbled up, without any sort of structure or beauty to them. Blaming Rowling just makes it look like these writers had no freedom.

Latino is actually suppose to be the "politically correct" term that central and south americans chose for themselves. As Hispanic means "belonging to spain" or something.

But because Hispanic sounds fancier than Latino, people automatically think that Hispanic is the politically correct term.

There is some confusion with 'Latino", too.

Some people apply Latino to "descendants of Latin speakers", so basically Greece.

The terms are mostly to promote pan south and central american solidarity by commie types. Hispanic was depreciated by some because brazil isn't spanish enough. Latino was pushed by the french to try to unite against the anglosphere.

Hispania is an actual place in europe. But nobody gives a fuck about the extra confusiion this causes. And the old french definition of latino absolutely included parts of europe. If Rome, birthplace of latin isn't latino, then who the fuck is?

Note that all of this naming garbage is primarily north america. The actual guatemalans and equadorians don't call themselves that shit.

>In a recent study, most Spanish speakers of Spanish or Latin American descent did not choose to use the terms "Hispanic" or "Latino" when describing their identity. Instead, they preferred to be identified by their country of origin. Over half of those surveyed said they had no preference for either term. When forced to choose, 33% chose "Hispanic" and 14% chose "Latino."

So, not even a plurality chose either term, when forced to. And of course they didn't survey the indios in south and central america. Their choice of hispanic or latino would be even lower.

It should be a suprise to no one that politically concocted words designed to push an ideological position results in a political clusterfuck.


Last I checked, the current accepted terms are: Hispanic/Latino used interchangably. Hispanic mostly used in the west, latino in the east of America. Chicano, which is mexican and mexican american specific and Latinx, by the pink haired neologistic crowd who think Latino is sexist. And in latin america, nobody gives a fuck what the MECHA pochos are doing.

>people on the no fly lists being able to buy guns and people being able to buy in ways that go around existing limitations on the number of guns, ammo, etc.

-the no-fly list is a joke, people have gotten on it because they literally have similar-sounding names to a suspicious guy, they should in no way limit the rights of citizens

-there are no such thing as gun show loop holes, anyone who says this has never attempted to buy guns, read his state and federal laws or visited a gun store, every purchase needs specific background checks and controlled items are subject to stamps, taxes and endless waiting periods.

>You don't need a machine gun to keep from bein gay bashed and you don't need an assault rifle much less an RPG to defend your home in a burglary or home invasion situation.

bill of rights, not bill of needs. Cops don't need to have assault rifles and armored cars to patrol the streets or fulfill arrest warrants, but they have all that, Citizens must never be absolutely inferior to the government they might need to fight against, be their state, or the union itself.

besides, these weapons are expensive and used in less than 0.01% of crimes, they're literally the safest weapons to own.

>>89564422
Because it's a fucking fictional character and not every writer cares about continuity, get over it.

>>89568652

The progressive left keeps passing idiotic and counterproductive laws in the first place, and doing shit like redefining pump action shotguns and revolvers as assault weapons.

And your knowledge of guns is severely lacking. AR 15's for example are actually a better choice than most hunting rifles for example, and a highly recomended choice because it's easier for women and smaller people to use, and, because they penetrate through walls less. If they were so dangerous, then we definitely shouldn't be putting them in the back of police cruisers all across america.

But beyond that I generally agree. I would point out that the focus is in the wrong direction: It's still focused on the gun, when crime stats prove that focusing on the criminals, many of who aren't allowed to have guns in the first place legally gets the most millage.

Let that sink in. Hillary Clinton, got beaten by a landslide, when her opponent got around the same amount of votes as Mitt Romney.

Hillary Clinton had to cheat the preliminaries to beat a social-democratic jew.

And that's without even touching on the many conspiracies sorrounding her, some of which seem oddly plausible.

I'm not saying that people can't enjoy something like Fleming and also enjoy something like Joyce.

I'm saying that most of the people who read Fleming or Harris aren't going to read Joyce. Which is fine. The problem with JK I'm-not-a-racist-but-my-books-are is that her influence on literature has been incredibly insidious with how it's affected a massive amount of young readers who don't pick up anything more complex because they think Harry Potter is the height of literary achievement.
