The only way that any of this makes sense is if Chavez is intentionally written to be a screwup in-universe, and the book is gonna be about her learning to not be a screwup.

But there's no way this writer has the self-awareness to do that.

I won't discount the former, but the latter has already been proven with the first issue.

/pol/ bait
The ultimate /pol/ bait
Forget Faiza, Whor, Ms. Marvel, Hydra Cap, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, that digital issue of Sensation Comics that people upload like it's relevant because it had Wonder Woman use "mansplaining" but is actually years old, and Riri.
This takes the cake for /pol/ bait

I miss comics. This is just terrible. Just so god damn awful and fucking stupid. I miss feeling the urge to buy comics. I miss the excitement that came out of waiting for the next issue. Now I just want marvel to turn into a 100% movie studio. Just let it die, don't turn it into this. There's no dignity in this. This is just awful and depressing.

Color Hold is a way of coloring your line art.

Essentially the artist is not being careful when He/She is changing the color of the lines, so half of Captain America's head has blue lines, like the clouds

i agree on both counts i use to love spiderman and cap but now its just shit all over but there is some non big two comics out there like east to west, black science and image is got some strong titles

I genuinely feel like this book will be seen the same way shit like 70s Prez or Brother Power The Geek are seen today.

The sad thing is is that this will have at least 5 actual discussion threads and around 33 shit threads.
>>
>>91181248
I like that they're trying to make America seem flawed, but their plan makes no sense, the set-up from last chapter (where Hitler is just randomly walking around) is random as fuck, and they're letting Hitler and the Nazis get away.

America's still acting like a stuck-up, smug bitch, but for once she's not the stupidest person in this book. I guess that's an improvement in some way?

The art seems better than last issue, but it's still pretty bad. Now it's just is so boring to look at.

I can tell this issue will be amazing.

Well, can you blame them?

This book is actively looking to pick a fight with the "Alt-Right" so why wouldn't it attract them?

You attract more flies with shit than you do with honey.

My only question is why this should be discussed at all?

>>91182223
Why shouldnt it. Its bad but folks outside /co/ are justvsucking uo because of progressive.

So, now that I have read this I can safely say that I am not going to enjoy the issue, or the series. I'll probably just ignore the threads about it while I desperately try and avoid company wars while talking about stuff that I like and actually enjoy.

I'm a staight white male, but I just feel kind of apathetic towards this comic, am I some kind of evil anon?
>>
>>91182252
Actually, we can. That's how good things like Starbrand and Nightmask fly under the radar. Not talking about a comic at all is a much better way of assuring it has no future than getting mad about it.

Well, the bulk of comic readership is White and Male, so obviously they're all Trump Supporters.

This book is just a fuck you to the imaginary enemy that otherwise doesn't give a shit about you.

All this is saying is, "Look, Trumpers, this is ours now, not yours; AREN'T YOU ANGRY!"

It's asinine.

So the combined martial arts knowledge of every single member of the X-Men, plus every single person who came to the Mansion during his time there is enough to render him capable of doing jack shit?

Checked em.

Standoff really fucked up Absorbing Man, given the drama in the issue before the relationship drama between him and Titania it didn't feel forced.

Also, Standoff is criminally underrated imo.

>>91182390
Starbrand has the titular mark which generates unlimited energy, making him one of the most powerful beings in Marvel that's not a conceptual entity. Nightmask is the humanoid form of Earth's defense system. Because of the events of Hickman's Avengers leading up to Secret Wars, they ended up hanging out together. Starbrand blew up his college when he first got his powers.

The premise of the comic was Nightmask wanting Starbrand to enroll in college to help him reconnect with humanity because he was worried about all the power at his disposal making him into a cold god. The characters had good chemistry and supporting cast, but it was cancelled and so only got six issues. A lot of stuff was clearly being set up that would have been cool if it all got the chance to play out.

He lost his powers, but the Cuckoos fucked his brain which let him access all the old memory/skills he'd grabbed from while he had his powers.

I love this comic for several reasons.

A) I get to filter out anyone who's not worth listening to. Oh you like America Chavez? Then you have no taste and I won't take recommendations from you.

B) Watching shills/SJWs defend this trainwreck

C) It proves Marvel is going full SJW

D) It triggers the easily triggered /pol/ which is always a fun ride.

E) I love watching this tank and having Marvel shills try to defend their pro-SJW stance, Even though it's tanking.

F) The inevitable cancellation and freak out over this title.

There will be no freakout. The people who MIGHT praise this (I've seen literally nobody talking about it) don't actually buy comics, and even if they do, they'll not buy a second issue.

This series will get 6-12 issues and be quietly cancelled, missed by no-one. The writer will not work in comics again.

It kinda makes sense. The girlfriend had been thinking about telling Chavez this news for a while, probably during that 2 hours in the diner. And if she really does love Chavez enough to let her go maybe she wanted to have one last happy memory with her before saying her piece. Chavez comes off as a controlling asshole, so the girlfriend had to have known Chavez well enough to predict she'd react badly.

Then again I'm probably putting way more thought into rationalizing this than the writer did, so who knows

That's true. I think pretty much every character in this is better in some other book.

I seriously can't get over how nonsensical the time travel part is.

This isn't a big revelation that is the cause of news or anything, he just fucking has one, no one is even shocked. And they fucking use the time machine like it's a car or a computer. No build up, no nothing, it's just "here's the time machine, I'm going back to 1942, be back in a second"

Agreed. I can still go back and read Liefeld era X-Force and find some entertainment from it, and there's even some surprising gems from that era, like the extreme 90s version of Dr Fate.

There is a sizable brown population on either side of the nation that are true blue patriotic Americans who don't posture like this.

So? He's not a woman either, yet it's a purely-female realm. Maybe he wanted to make a world that culturally resembled the one he came from sans men. Or maybe he picked ethnicities out of a hat as he created people.

>>
>>91195885
There's nothing wrong with that in and of itself if you can have multiple male flying bricks. But Marvel's intentions aren't pure, they're not doing it because these characters have good stories just waiting to be told. They're filling out their quota of minority characters so the can show off being the most progressive.

The thing that gets me is the higher-ups don't genuinely give a rat's ass about minority representation. They think that doing this will sell comics because they don't understand that the SJW audience doesn't buy them. If they grasped who their buyers are, you wouldn't see half this many new minority characters.

>>91196205
She is? She started out as a flying brick and they kept adding stuff on. I think the portal thing is purely for the star effect. Why would you make a character that can fly and teleport?

Arthurian legend is tied with Christian themes. Faiza possessing a magic sword is one thing. Her being the chosen wielder of a sword previously held by champions of a belief she doesn't share is another matter entirely.

I don't understand this comic still, it's established in Marvel comics that if time travellers go back in time and do one minuscule small thing all of history changes, but she comes from an alternate reality where there are no men but ALL of world history is exactly the same?

No, they fight but their hearts aren't in it. For context, this was during Standoff and both of them were brainwashed into thinking they were the local ice cream man and a cop respectively. The two developed a crush on each other while they were brainwashed, and when they come out of it neither of them are coping well.

Nah, WWII was just an excuse for a bunch of guys to get together and hang out away from their wives.

They had to convince the girls back home that they were fighting, so when America showed up everyone started going apeshit. Hitler was just on his way to get some dip.

So it's ironic and a play on her name?

That kind of pisses me off honestly.

>>91182333

It's also why the tumblr SJ crowd only ever seems to jump on board with shitty comics.

If there was a GOOD comic with a female minority protagonist, the white male comic readers would also like it too because it's good. And that would be unacceptable, because then it's not a fuck you. So they buzz all over Squirrel Girl and America, but they're dead silent about, say, Doctor Aphra.

It's all about "I don't like you so I'm going to take away the things you like".

This is perhaps my biggest pet peeve about this comic. She can literally go anywhere in the universe she wants by punching through the fabric of reality. If there is anyone who could make a long distance relationship work it's America. Seriously, she might as well be living next door to her girlfriend, why is this even an issue?

The idea is inherently shameful.

See, I'm Chinese. If we had a Captain China, he'd either be the last descendant of Qin Shihuang, or someone born and raised by the Communist party. (Okay, maybe 'Commissar China' would be more appropriate.)

I know what he wouldn't be, though. He wouldn't be an Uighur Muslim, for instance. He wouldn't even be Tibetean, he'll be Han Chinese.

Excalibur is meant to be wielded by the most British motherfucker you can find, who'd look like James Bond or King Arthur come again. Letting a Muslim wield Excalibur - letting a Saracen touch the blade - devalues it as a symbol.

OK so, why do you think only a white British person could wield Excalibur? Let's go to the text, right?

In the first place if we want to be strict Arthur is specifically Welsh, not British, but obviously that rapidly changed as the myth was adopted. But at the time these stories were first being conceived and told and even when they became popular in Norman Britain "British" as an identity was not as concrete as it is now.

Secondly, Excalibur is not the sword which demonstrates Arthur's divine right to rule. The sword in the stone is a different sword to Excalibur although sometimes they are conflated, and often they are conflated when things are simplified for a modern version. Excalibur comes from the Lady in the Lake and is returned to her when Arthur dies. That also means it's fundamentally bound up in the non-Christian, pagan influences of Arthur as it comes from Nimue.

Thirdly, Arthur gives Excalibur to his knights to use at times. It's not a sword that only he does or can wield.

Fourthly, Arthur's knights are not exclusively British. In terms of a more broken up, more regional identity you have knights like Tristan who's Cornish and Gawain who's from Orkney. Before you argue these are British in the text they are outright the subjects of other kingdoms who've joined Arthur. And from further away you have Bors, Lancelot and their cousins who are French (added after Norman conquest) and even knights like Sagramore, who's Hungarian or Palamedes, Safir and Segwarides who are all Saracen.

Lastly we shouldn't forget Arthur wars on Christian Kings too (such as the Emperor of Rome) and while Arthur and various other knights, particularly Lancelot, Percival and Galahad's, appointment by God is an important part of the text it's not free from sin or from violence between Christians.

>Like, you'd think Captain America would be a right-wing figure.

He shouldn't be. Or at least, Steve Rogers shouldn't. John Walker/US Agent should be a guy whose politics would be on the right-wing spectrum. The 50's Cap should be the guy whose politics would be far-right. Falcon's politics obviously are toward the left and I'm pretty sure under a competent writer there could also be a Cap replacement who's far-left as a contrast against Steve to show why Steve's a better Captain America.
