>Replace already existing, established characters with "diverse" versions for no real reason and give shitty reasoning for it in the story
>shitlords!!!!!!!

I mean, I don't mind if there's a more diverse cast, but don't do it like this, introduce new characters instead of replacing existing ones.
Like fucking Robbie is a good example. I'm reading through early Spider-Man, and it's obvious that they placed in black characters due to the political climate of the time, but it was done a million times better. Robbie is a new character, doesn't feel forced, and he's fucking bro-tier. And guess what, he didn't need to be a superhero. He was just a nice guy, stood up for Peter, had his own sense of right and wrong, and it was a great addition to JJ's character too, their dynamic is great, even if it tones down JJ's douchebaggery a lot, it was needed, JJ was a bit too cartoony for me. Seriously, thinking back, ASM had some good black characters, the Prowler was good shit too.

Diversity isn't killing comics. Its the senseless forced-diversity of the modern era while attacking your base of both characters and consumers in doing so.

Black Panther has been around since 1966, joined the Avengers and was the effective leader of the team in 1968, and had his only solo book by 1973. But you'd think modern Marvel writers had just discovered black people this year they way they talk. Marvel has always been a progressive place.

Rhodey took over for Iron Man in the 80s. And everyone was fine with it, because he was a long-standing supporting character in the book and it made sense to occur as it grew organically out of the story.

But now we have a writers donut steal character come out of nowhere and be handed the IM mantle, and all the book's supporting cast is there to be her cheerleader. She isn't allowed to face adversity because the optics of a white male villain beating up a black female hero would look bad, it occurs off-panel. No adversity = no fan attachment to the character. But if you don't like her you *must* be racist misogynistic asshat, their ideology allows no debate.

Make new diversity characters if you wish. Introduce them into existing books and allow them to bloom naturally instead of being horribly forced. But when you kill off or replace popular characters with these new creations you're going to get pushback no matter what - if Riri was a straight white male that came of nowhere, people would be annoyed by that character just as much.

But keep it up. Keep mocking the small number of consumers that will actually purchase your niche product anymore, while pimping yourself to a consumer base that will never buy your product. Thats a winning marketing strategy and see how its doing for you.

Like the whole campus protesting shit, this issue came out in 02/1969, not even a year passed since the civil right act, and to me, it's obvious that Marvel wanted to come out and show support for it, probably thinking of the kids, and also it was a current event. I honestly think it was handled well, save for the whole reason they were protesting, seems like they didn't have the balls to do a full-on protest based on race, instead of this dorm nonsense, but can't win'em all. Such a shame that decades ago marvel could do well and comment on the whole race issue the US had, but now it's just hurr iron man is now a black girl. Also don't forget to give her a big ol' afro so we totally know she's black. Honestly.

>Tanking sales
>Marketing to normies
>Hiring people who know fuck-all about comics who'd rather push agendas than write stories

Marvel has had at least two (Three?) relaunches that have primarily revolved around saying "Check it out! [Insert classic hero here] is a [insert minority/sex/gender here] now. It's progressive and empowering. Better buy all 27 variant covers!!"

The issue isn't having minority characters, but they have to have more personality than "strong black girl", "edgy lesbian" or "girl".

DC has tons of great minority characters (Jaime Reyes, Michael Holt, literally all of Milestone, Rebirth's version of Ray Terrill) so it's really glaring when you see actual fleshed-out characters on one side and a tumblrite's fantasy on the other.

>>94039382
>She isn't allowed to face adversity because the optics of a white male villain beating up a black female hero would look bad, it occurs off-panel.

Seems strange that they don't just make the villain another black then. Take Floyd Mayweather, give him superpowers, bam, convincing villain and a living embodiment of black stereotypes that your black hero can literally punch.

Why does the black Iron Man have an afro? It seems really weird that they would choose that hairstyle when you have to put on a helmet.


Also the only reason diversity isn't working is because the characters suck and comics have lost their way. The writing is shit, and Marvel is just hoping to bank on the namebrand of SPIDERMAN! THOR! etc. to get sales and not actual interesting characters. The last decent Marvel diversity addition was probably Ghost Rider?

The moment your industry makes a billion dollar is when it goes to hell. I remember seeing posts hating on Baby Driver because it has a "Gun Fetish" and "Failed the Bachdel Test". People have this stupid idea that if they make stories pander to them, the world will change overnight. Which is hilarious cause most people can't name five films that came out 2 years ago off hand.

The smugness about it all. People hate being looked down upon, even if the person who's doing it is right. It's a big reason why more people are getting tired of progressivism in general. It's not that it exists but how they seem to always act like complete douches.

Gwenpool, because she's not patting herself on the back for being gay, transsexual, etc..., doesn't shove in those groups at every opportunity or have characters that are defined by their sexuality, and doesn't shoehorn in issues from politics, she just has fun comic book adventures, which is the kind of thing I like.

>Everything is fine with our business model, you people just suck
she said that if it were series like ms marvel and black panther, or iirc she mentioned ghost rider wouldn't sell or be liked. Which is true. The issue is the bad writers.

(I'd link the video but 4chan is restricting me from doing so since they think it's spam)

she points out series like ms marvel and bp are written by people that understand the characters racially and culturally more so they know hot to make them real characters.

she still seems to say some dumb shit but diversity isn't killing comics.

If these bad writers wrote for other characters those characters would still be bad white or not.

>>94038510
This reflects my feelings, I buy and read a shitton of comics about LGBT groups, minorities, different cultures and whatnot. But I don't buy a comic if the writing is garbage. For example, I thought Kamala Khan was pretty great, but some of latest runs have just sucked, and I skip them if they fail to tell a story well. I give Marvel money when they write a good story, not just because they threw in a black or female character. Optimally they do both in a way that doesn't actively destroy a currently existing character. Oh and the art has to be good (I think we all remember that shitjob that was fucking Hellcat #6, with Natasha Allegri.)

By the way, what are they doing with She-Hulk lately? Do I even want to know?

Meanwhile there are plenty of independent comics that are fun, and I can watch Steven Universe (yeah season 4 had a couple of lame episodes but overall I fucking love the whole damn show,) and a billion other decent entertainment options until Marvel gets their shit together.

This really fucking confuses me, especially in the case of a lot of characters that already have a diverse supporting cast that almost never get touched. Like, why make Iron Man a black woman when War Machine exists? Why not just push War Machine into the spotlight a bit more?

Nothing. She has her ongoing (just called "Hulk") and it's the most fucking nothing comic I've ever seen. I think she went like 6 issues before hulking out.

you do realize marvel has been in decline in general for decades now, right? the whole point of gambling on the status quo upsetting PC titles is the very fact that it literally can't get worse. Now some retards look at the last quarter instead of the ongoing annual trends and think there's some definitive causation when there's clearly isn't. And if you actually read any of that interview you'd see that the author is desperately and feebly trying to establish correlation and then treating it as if it's indicative of something causal: typical statistic illiteracy, typical talentless amateur journalism, typical gossip rag headline, typical reading comprehension challenged fanboys gobbling it up with zero critical thinking

The difference is now the Marvel brand is bigger than ever and yet it seems like the comics are doing everything they possibly can to not capitalize on it. It would be just as shitty for us but the fact that they aren't making the comics as close to the movies as possible to draw in that audience is just baffling. With the stuff they're doing now they're not only turning away old fans but making any potential new ones uninterested because the comics are full of a bunch of nobodies they've never heard of.

To let everyone know without a doubt that the character is black in an instant, especially not one that would straighten their hair, otherwise they might not get maximum diversity points if people confuse them for Pacific Islander, or South East Asian.

To a lot of these people whether they admit it or not is basically to do the opposite of what they consider bad which is the straight white Christian male and the opposite therefore must be good.
Therefore racial diversity means more blacks, religious diversity means more Muslims, sex diversity means women and sexual diversity means more gays.
Some people foolishly believe that diversity means correct representation of the population at large but no actual practices refute this, otherwise there would be many more Asian and Hispanic characters.
That's it that's their whole underlying philosophy in a nutshell.

I don't get the whole gender/race/whateverbending trend. If you're confident your awesome new character concept is solid, then make it a new superhero. If the new character concept and your writing is as good as you think it is, it should be able to build a fanbase of its own, without wearing the hollowed out corpse of another character, right? Taking an established superhero and turn him/her into someone completely different is a surefire way to piss off the fanbase that fell in love with the existing character, with a high risk that the replacement character won't manage to repeat whatever made the original character popular in the fist place.

Yep, after Secret Wars, people got annoyed that the book changed (Kamale being an Avenger too soon, not developing her own rogues gallery first, and not having enough adventures on her own to earn that status), then she got dragged into Civil War II and her book suffered since the writing went to shit.

Marvel has repeatedly made attempts over the years at giving Rhodey the spotlight, but they were all half-assed and no one at the company ever dares write a black man as anything other than the standard stoic and deadly serious strong male. So of course, all those attempts fell through.

Marvel then interprets this as meaning that they should instead focus on palette-swapping their recognized name brand characters in order to have more lasting effect.

How hard is it for them to reflect, look in the mirror, and realize nobody is crying about mere diversity but rather politically motivated attempts to take down existing properties and insert politically correct left wing agendas in the process?

Nobody gives a shit about organically doverse characters like black panther, storm, falcon, etc. If they paid attention most people didn't even mind when Falcon took the mantle of Cap, any more so than when Bucky did, because of who is is and where he is established in relation to Steve.

It's not only that you disagree with their creative vision. You're a bad person for daring to be so bold.

The smug chucklefucks are just looking for opportunities to tear down perceived power structures that don't align with their cosmic utopian vision of equity and social justice wherever they are, and since comics are a big property in pop culture right now hey will tear thay down and remake it in their image if they are enabled, leaving it a smoldering corpse faintly resembling that which we used to love; that nobody - not even themselves - wants to touch once they have sufficiently used it to further their faux-egalitarian agenda.

Yeah, people used to love someone acting smugly superior talking down to them like they're a moron, instead of rationalizing their beliefs like an adult. That's how Daryl Davis was able to get all those KKK members to leave the organization, he didn't befriend them and show them through kindness why they were wrong, he just looked down on them and called them white trash. I think he learned that method after seeing how successful MLK was with it during the civil rights era.

Yes they did, because they FUCKING LIKED FALCON.

I'm still baffled about that choice. Falcon isn't like Bucky, who wanted to get away from his persona and be something better. There was an organic shift from the former guy who used to look up to Cap eventually taking the mantle to escape his past and the monstrous stuff he'd done and prove he, and by extension america, could be something better. But Falcon was a hero! He's one of the oldest heroes! He's faced huge threats, been an avenger since before most of these fucks were even born, he's had a history and an impact and he was old and storied enough he could have had his own legacy character by now! And just when he shows up in the movies and gets a following, he's not falcon anymore. It's a slap to the face of anyone who liked this character to imply him losing his title for the 'big' name like Steve's character had was 'brave and progressive'.

More simply put, the creators at Marvel aren't concerned with producing a quality product for the readers, they are more concerned about preaching their propaganda towards the readers.

The post modern idea of skill as problematic is what's killing comics.
It's no longer expected for writers and artists to have any skill in their craft, because that means not everyone would be able to express themselves, and self expression is the most important facet of art.
Diversity itself isn't the problem, it just so happens that a lot of people who want to express themselves and skill happen to be on the side of diversity.

Women aren't even an issue. Harley Quinn selling like hotcakes for a while proves that.

I would read a competently written solo series about Storm or She-Hulk, or a competently written team book with a female in the lead like Emma or Rogue in the X-Men, or Carol in the Avengers.

The problem isn't that they're female, it's that they're largely insufferable. The shit opinions they spout, the bland and unflattering outfits they tend to wear, the even more unflattering artstyles they're drawn in, and the unrelatable hamfisted stories they keep telling with these women.
It's all so bad.
Especially when so many of these new females (and minorities) are never portrayed in a negative light.
America issue one starts with an entire page of people praising America as the second coming of Jesus.
Riri Williams is constantly praised in universe for doing shit that other heroes either get chastised for or just do as an every day part of the job.
Carol is portrayed as this super popular in universe warrior woman that everyone loves and is always right.

Even one of the Moongirl and DD issues has Moongirl getting visually upset with her teacher for not being a racist so she couldn't spout her defensive nonsense.

It's complete dogshit, and they aren't getting it through their heads that people like flawed characters. Even Superman is portrayed as a fallible being. The only "Perfect" characters people tend to like are villains, because it helps add to their threat factor when the hero fights them.

Diversity in writing, like all thingd, is terrible when it's forced.
Marvel has always had tons of diversity since it's inception. Even one of it's most popular franchises, the X-men, uses diversity as a backdrop.

The thing that sucks about Marvel's current got at diversity is that it doesn't just celebrate diversity, it puts it on a pedestal as the best thing ever, while also demonizing "Non-diverse" individuals.
Diversity should never be about alienation amd propping one group over another.

And what would you call turning a bunch of established White male characters into non-white characters that do everything better than their white male counterparts instead of making brand new heroes...If not forced?
And don't give me that "Because new minority heroes don't sell so they need to piggy back off a White hero!" Bullshit either.
Spawn sat comfortably at the top of comic book popularity for the better part of a decade, Storm is arguably the most popular X-Girl save for maybe Rogue, and more kids than not liked Static Shock growing up. So new minority heroes can work.

It takes too long. You can't just make a character and fling them into their own solo series. You've got to put them onto some small team comic and hope they stand out, from there put them into a bigger team comic or even just fling them onto one of the lesser X-men books since they have folk from all over in them not just mutants and even then it'll still take years and years till your character may be able to pull off a succesful 5 issue limited series.

Most creators don't have the time for that and try to get their character running before they've even started crawling.

Wolverine is the face of the X-men in general media and it took him thirteen years to get a limited series to gauge interest in a solo run back then.

Diversity in itself isn't bad.
It becomes bad if combined with one (or more) of the three following
a)An established character is sidelined, for the new diverse donut steel to take his/her place. (who are we kidding, his place only)
b)it's accompanied by over-the-top-political preachiness. Yes, comics can be political and have been for a long time. But some times, it's done in a ridiculous way.
c)the writer things diversity alone makes a story worthwhile and forgets to write a good story for the diverse character

Except it's not. Because there are plenty.
From the female side of things, there are dozens of beloved women in Marvel.
Kitty, Rogue, Emma Frost, Storm, Sue, Shukie, and so on.
Some of the new girls like Gwenpool and Kamala get a lot of love too. At least, Kamala did when her comic was fun and not preachy garbage.
And the biggest offenders for characters people hate about this relaunch? Women that people used to love that have since been turned to shit.
People used to love Spider-Woman, even if she was kind of a bitch. People loved their walking meme Doreen. People thought America was a pretty solid character with a lot of potential before they turned her into the Mary Sue of the Marvel Universe and changed her from a character to enjoy to a walking checklist of
And even Carol used to have her fans that loved and appreciated the pathetic drunk kree hybrid. And now she's the most hated female in comics. Her constant relaunches and perpetually tanking comic sales are proof of this.

A lot of the same can be said for long established minority males.
People used to love Luke Cage and Black Panther especially, and look at how fast Black Panther and the Crew was canned because nobody wanted any part of the pandering trash within. Because it wasn't a story about fan favorite Black characters doing cool super heroic shit. It was about two upper middle class Black people, a former queen who lives in a mansion, and the richest man and the planet and an ACTUAL KANG AND SHIT trying to sell us on how awful the White Devil Police are and how shitty it is to be Black, never mind the fact that Luke is married to a White woman, Misty regularly returns to the arms of a rich White boy, and Storm would still be smoking that fat Canadian badger cock if he didn't up and turn into an adamantium statue.

You're sort of half right.

Marvel's problems right now are only partially the result of SJW garbage. Even if they fixed that shit, they'd still be in trouble.

My father was a Presbyterian minister. He was a smart guy, built up a lot of influence over the years, and got to have some influence with the synod for his region.

When he arrived, the synod was making up its financial shortfalls by selling churches. Every time they needed a quick burst of money, they'd sell a church. He tried his damnedest to switch them to actually sustainable methods of funding the synod, like methods he'd used in previous churches where church members could indicate what their tithes would be used for (therefore encouraging tithing by giving tithers a sense of control), but they kept just selling churches.

Eventually you're going to run out of churches to sell, and then you're 31 flavors of fucked.

Marvel keeps relaunching every title every few years and doing multiple events every goddamn year. For the past few years, they've been selling churches. And they are well past being out of churches to sell.

Fembusters was marginally worse than Ghostbusters II.

Maybe there's a franchise Sony could have rebooted with women successfully. I dunno. But the fact that the first Ghostbusters was good at all, let alone as good as it was, is a miracle on par with raising Lazarus from the dead. They were idiots to think they could succeed from the outset.

I liked the first half of the movie...then suddenly all became shit
>>
>>94061004

The first half was definitely better than the second, but you could tell they didn't give a shit.

Kristen Wiig gets slimed. When they're freaking out about it outside the house, she's alternately wet and dry between shots. There's no visual continuity, not even an attempt at it. That was my first sign that this was going to be a mess.

The next sign was all these outdoor NYC scenes that made the city look like it had already been evacuated. They didn't even have extras buzzing around in the background, it's like they just had no idea what New York is even like.

The moment where it all comes crashing down is the metal concert. The fans are just psychotic caricatures of metal fans, and the possessed mannequins are just lazy, as is everything during and after that scene.

>>
>>94053301
The problem is they're not written like characters anymore. These characters used to be written as characters first but now they're written as symbols first. Luke Cage can't just be that cool black dude we all like, he has to be black first and everything else second. It strips characters of their personalities and turns them from lovable, to irritating.

Moongirl to me is the biggest example of forced writing though. They took a fun concept of boy and his dinosaur and made Moongirl a super genius who is also an inhuman and is also a gadget-based superhero. Just stick to girl and her dinosaur. That's all you need. That's the core of your book. Instead they have like six concepts running one really simple idea.
>>
I miss Carol Danvers. She had some good stories when she was rebooted and then the writer ran out of ideas and left and now no one in editorial knows what to do with her. Not to mention how ever since DeConnick left she's been doubling up on testosterone.

My poor Carol is stuck without anyone who actually knows the character or gives a fuck enough to write a decent story and is instead relegated to a hollow seat on the "girl power" bandwagon

Nips don't get it because they don't associate characters purely with race. They mostly (though not always) just think it's cool to see the characters on the big screen. Even if DBE was shit and they didn't like it they didn't care that Goku was white.

The SoJus also do not grasp that Japan and other nations have their own media so they do not fucking care what we do with it. for them it's neat to get a live action One Piece show, but if Luffy is white they're not going to be bothered. Their kids also have plenty of heroes as it is right on TV. Kamen Rider and Sentai air once a week year wrong and get like 3-4 movies each a year.

C-level exec from Marvel here. It's a fucking jungle in here and I want out. I joined on board because I had fond memories of the F4 as a child and the pay was decent. Not too many people are comics-heads at this level, but I don't know much either so I (this is an extremely common problem at this level of management in most hobby related fields) wasn't worried. I won't give an timeframe, but I think it's safe for me to say that most people were still fresh with Disney as a company when I first started to get used to my environment. I'm going to skip to what's going wrong now because I feel like I wasted too much time blogposting.

Surprisingly, most of the company management has my type of philosophy. Leave ideas to the drones and do the itineraries the CFO and CEO have planned out. It's the COO's responsibility to cultivate talent and make sure they do what is necessary to keep the middle and bottom food chain flowing. The problem is the usual really, blatant, unending, and overpowering greed. We run on paper (heh) thin margins here and it can't be said enough that the main focus is saving money. I think we have a decent idea of who our target audience is right now, and I assume from my conversations with fellow co-workers that it's basically the better versions of you guys. Another problem is a big-boy Disney who wants results and plans for the future and not just the present.

See once Disney jumped on top of our ship they looked through and HATED what we were doing. They just don't see us as capitalizing on the movies success and pulling in children for a stable future. We really try to get kids interested, but they just don't fucking read even comics now. Personally, I feel like I made a bad career choice entering a sinking ship and am now like the rest of these guys either pulling shyster moves and trying to curry enough favor to move up or, hopefully, jump ship.

>>94062671
The whole SJW angle, from what I can tell, stems from actual SJW ideals fresh associates bring when they join the company. That coupled with the fact that telling artists and writers not to bring bias of a left-wing agenda is A) A really good way to get fired B) Really hard to justify to a room full of fresh college-grads and C) It's petrifying to ask (beg) any of the sharks we have on board for protection, for they are soulless and I personally don't have the power to command the company like that. I don't think anyone expected our content creators to push away our core audience so vehemently and stop it before it became this big of an issue. I will now speak on why I can't fix the problem.

Remember how I skimmed on kids? Well the truth is everyone and Disney think they're the main issue right now. This whole SJW thing is nonsense to them and they could wrap it up in a quick three years, but we have a much bigger problem. Toy sales are down the drain and so are comics. We pull in steady numbers, but we don't pull em in like we used to. I think this is where a cognitive split occurs. To you guys a good Marvel is a Marvel with good writing and good characters. To me a good Marvel is a Marvel with mass appeal that can make millions off a single Hulk issue. I'm content if Hulk's deepest thought in that particular issue is "Smash thing because purple," I care as long as it sells. Sadly, kids don't care and we've pretty much lost them as our primary demographic. Our content creators and us realize this and we've switched gears long ago to target the older demo, but you guys just don't have the fanatical love (parent's dollars) of children. I think the reason for this whole SJW fiasco being mostly ignored is because to the decision makers it represents us moving away from you guys as our target demo. In an ideal world we would eventually have to move away from y'all to make way for the younger market, but that isn't where we're headed in my eyes. Even if we push you away it's not kids that are replacing you and I don't think the replacements are coming in numbers we want.
>>
>>94046036
That doesn't excuse laziness. At least vary on the art style so it doesn't seem like you are ripping off each other's work.

>>94062870
Toy sales are down for Hasbro of all companies. Of course they're down for everyone. And why would Disney or Marvel be focusing on a single demographic? Also how do they not understand millenials do not have money, we aren't interested in marriage or kids, and we don't want pointless drama, we want entertainment?
>>
>>94062870
Huh, interesting. So disney seriously wants to bring comics back to kids again instead of adults? Dont they know that market died in the 80s? You know, when kids stopped buying comics because they stopped being in grocery stores and were in specialty shops where only grown men bought them. Is disney really this outve touch? I wouldnt even mind kiddie marvel comics. Straight action without all these sjw ideals would be a welcomed thought. Have you told them theyd have to get major retailers(ie:walmart, target, TRU), to carry the titles?

Toy sales are down at hasbro because the kike goldner got cheap, they only make limited product, its all unarticulated shit, and they make big bulky aka unplayable 12 inch shit instead of 3.75 inch figures that used to be their bread and butter. Why havent you told disney to crack down on hasbros shitty practices?
>>
>>94038453
So here:
Diversity is NOT poison for any form of media. Period.
What IS poison is how most people handle having a character other than a straight white person in the media.

The focal point of the character should NEVER be about how much like their race they are, how much like their sexual orientation they are, and how transgendered they are, ETC UNLESS that story is about one of those aspects.

You can make a character with a disability, just don't make that their OWN attribute, don't make everything they do or say ABOUT that attribute. That's when you fail.

A good example would be Tip from HOME (remember that movie? The black girl and the purple alien?). Now on the one hand, if she had been white, I think she would've been about the same but with different music tastes and just as bland. BUT it wouldn't have been PRAISED to hell and back by tumblr because it's just another white girl.

But tip IS bland, and the only thing people liked about her was her design.

The character can't STOP at the design phase. They need to be developed.

You can have a black chick in detroit dealing with a runaway babydaddy, but her entire character can't just be that. She has to have other parts of her personality. Maybe she likes to pretend to be a ninja when she's making dinner while balancing it with watching her infant? Maybe she sings really badly to old barbara streisand when no one is around. It can't stop at her being a single black mom in the ghetto.

Do you guys get what I mean?

That's my problem with Ghostbusters lady version. It's mostly forced jokes that they probably added in the more backlash the previews were getting because "DURR WIMMINZ ARE FUNNY" even though i know a massive amount of guys who like Bridesmaids, a genuinely funny female comedy because it focuses on the story and character development rather than "WOMEN CAN MAKE FART JOKES"

If you haven't seen it, give it a shot, let me know what your opinion is compared to Ghostbusters
>>
>>94062931

>>94062910
SJW ideals represent hipful youth without losing the edge. It's a way to keep the violence we have right now while shielding ourselves with the excuse of having a message.That's the plan anyway.
>>94062906
Disney is more focused on keeping the 20 somethings on board with online content/t.v shows. It's supposed to be us that reels in the kids with our comics but we haven't been doing a great job. Essentially they want to target multiple demo's with different platforms aimed at a from the crib to the grave style formula. The kids I speak of are 11-14 year old not 5-6. We haven't even really shifted to targeting these demo's because we can't afford to, but like I said the SJW angle is seen as a healthy start.
>>94062929
We don't get much of their toy pie. The benefits they brought were in the form of easy marketing and keeping t.v. shows alive. I think everyone accepts that the toy industry is sinking, but since micro-transaction mobile games are replacing it we aren't in a rush to help it.
>>
>>94063006
What would make you loose the violence without having a shoehorned shitty feminist message intertwined?
>>
>>94063006
Kids will be more likely to go after comics when they're older if they have fond memories of a childhood show. Comics are going increasingly digital so it should be easier to market to them around the 16 year old range and even before that when kids get money and gift cards for birthdays and Christmas. Get them interested and the ones who want to read will buy issues and trades off Amazon and comixology. On a side note how is the manga industry doing compared to you guys?

>>
>>94063030
A way to target children safely and preferably cheaply. Without backtracking on much of the level sex/violence we have now.
>>94063044
An agreement is made when t.v. shows of our sort is created whereupon hasbro or somesuch agrees to shoulder the cost of a cartoon (not cheap) in exchange for the shoehorning of toy-centric ideas. This is still a regular practice and is important to cartoon shows existing. Video game companies don't need cartoons to exist and they can just make a shovelware title without the help or even based on one having the support of a toy company.

I grew up in south-eastern Utah and visit my family regularly. Unless you consider that mid-western. In which case tell that part of the U.S. to stop appropriating.

By being an inbred redneck faggot and sticking it up their ass. You see i grew up in a time when hasbro didnt treat their customers as stupid. They had lots of articulation, great sculpting, and were at a decent price point for their figures. But for some reason or another, around the time of iron man 3, they started reducing the quality of their figures by including less articluation and reusing sculpts. My guess is they wanted to attract the redneck retard market and literal diaper shitting babies, that didnt like "all dem movin parts", and ignored the true fans of their toys. Sorta like marvel, sales have suffered, but theyre too stubborn to see the errors of their ways.

Nips know who is their target audience and cater to them. On the west the main audience is shitted on.

I have no idea what to make of this. No idea. I can't make fun of it. I can't be angry or sad about it. I can't even really hate it. It is beyond emotion for me. I just...the best I can say is that I wish it wasn't here and that I didn't know it existed.

In a strange way, though, it gives me hope. I'm trying to become a writer, and if this complete dire shit got published by a major comics publisher, I should have no problem!

Muslim Marvel is my favorite of the affirmative action Marvel. I do hope she gets her own name though.

>>94063935
I think she's alright with the name. If anything Carol should've stayed as Warbird.

Aay, I actually have this issue back home. From what I remember, it's basically just Marvel civis being their usual self.

But diversity isn't killing comics, bad writing, bad choices are. I mean who actually looks at a character and says "they aren't white, I can't enjoy this"?

>>94062733
I thought the same when I saw a guy the other in a Buckley thread where he made a joke about Hitler and then some guy came in spamming images with comic art where various superheroes are punching Hitler and then he wrote 'fuck Hitler' in every single post whom I reported for spamming but I was the one who got warned for "inappropriate use of the report function."

Really makes you think.

I would love to hear one of these offended tumblrinas answer the question of why they aren't buying the comics that promote the progressive agenda they so desperately need in media.

Seriously, I want to hear from their own lips why aren't they supporting this media if it's so important.

Octolings are retarded and thought the final boss fight in Splatoon 1 was just an Octavio/Squid Sisters concert. Marina wanted to become a DJ after watching it.

Have you really never met a single black person who wears their hair in an afro? Well since you personally never saw one, I guess nobody does it

The lack of self-awareness kills me. Who do you think your core customer base is, exactly? Not-fanboys?
>>
>>94065669
They might say that to trigger snowflakes like you, but they aren't really serious about it. It's just that a lot of times diversity main characters and shit writing overlap quite a lot. At least when it comes to mainstream American comics.

>>94065650
What is the campaign mode about now if they aren't shooting octlings anymore?
>>
>>94065818
movie goers. They're the big money source right now. These range between people who just want a blockbuster action flick, have a vague idea of these heroes from just general awareness of pop culture and are curious and people who grew up reading comics in the past or watched the cartoons who liked it and want to see more without getting back into comics. Actual long term comic readers are a minority income source for them. Hell, the reasons they made bad deals with FF and X-Men movie rights is because fanboys sure as hell weren't paying the bills back then
>>
>>94065636
Are you that guy?

>>94040810
Lack of art and writing talent. I've loved War Machine more than Iron Man since I was 11 years old, and I'm a white British guy. He has the potential to be a huge character in his own right, but without the brand awareness of Iron Man you would have to hit it clean out the park creatively to get people interested, and actually pay to market such a book.

Scale that penny-pinching risk aversion and general lack of art and writing talent (what probably would have been the next great generation of comic creators all went into videogames, advertising, etc because the pay, hours and benefits are better) up to the entirety of Marvel, and it makes sense why they'd rather co-opt an established brand than actually work to create something new and build a following for it.
>>
>>94065988

That doesn't really answer the question since the comics do FUCK ALL to appeal to the fans of the movies, never mind the actual comic fans.
>>
>>94066189
yea, weird for all the shit we give Marvel for 'movie synergy' they are absolute shit at actually enticing movie fans into reading the comics
>>
>>94065931
The campaign is the same as before. Marina is a traitor.

She should be Miss Marvel instead of Ms. Marvel. If there's one young adult character right now who'd prefer "Miss" over "Ms." it's Kamala.

>>94066513

Appealing to SJWs?

I don't know. Comic and movie fans are the ones supporting Marvel's shit, yet they choose to appeal to the outrage brigade.

What is it lately with companies (and some people supported by their fans) shitting on the ones who GAVE THEM THEIR LIFEBLOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE in favour of trying to appeal to people who don't give a shit about them?
>>
>>94065988
But up until Spider-Man Homecucking there wasn't even a hint of PC agenda in Marvel's movie output. What the fuck is a moviegoer hoping for a comic about Tony getting drunk and doing something HILARIOUS with his Iron Man suit going to think when they open up the latest Iron Man and a teenage black girl lectures them on cis-privilege?
>>
>>94066710
I was asking about the Minister sustaining his synod.

But yeah, I don't get it either. You'd think Marvel would be trying to appeal to the massive movie audience, trying to get them to buy comics. And plenty of that audience is minorities, and they want to read about Luke Cage or Black Panther kicking ass.

Why doesn't Marvel push that more? The LUKE! mini was great, for example.

The stills from the Black Panther movie look great. The movie will probably do gangbusters. Coates' Black Panther run is actually amazing, far better than what I expected from a professional pundit and SJW, both from a canon point of view and a political point of view, but it's not the thing that'll suck in new readers who only know the movies.

I wish they'd put out a line like Marvel Adventures, only geared to an older age group. Fun, self-containted stories that you don't need to be a comics fan, just a movie fan, to understand and get into. That could be the gateway drug for getting into the real 616 universe, with the heavy continuity and decades long plots that make it so great.
