I thought all those guns, missiles and lethal weapons were for something but I guess this lady thinks they were there just for show

>>94209639
They gave the Iron Man name to a black girl, why do they care about Iron Man's shitty sidekick after that?

Is like caring about Robin after winning Batman
>>
>>94209713
He was already FRANKenstein, getting War Machine's armor is nothing compare to that.
>>
The time will come...sooner than expected.
>>
Actually this one has a bit of a point. You people get mad at Black chick as Iron Man, so get mad at this too. Or at least admit that giving Frank War Machine armor is fucking retarded after the retardation of him being Hydra. OOC as fuck BTW if anyone gives a shit.

Looking to see the hypocrisy in this thread after all the bitching before though

>>
>>94209834
Oh it's retarded, but frankly I don't care. I don't care about Tony or Riri either. I want to see hypocrits get mad that War Machine changes for a short time.


Maybe Marvel will stop being retarded eventually but right now they're actively trying to set fire to everything so I'm going to enjoy myself.

are you this one faggot using screenshots of Punisher MAX (a different continuity) to try and prove a point about 616 Frank?

Stop doing that

>>94209834
Frank is a decades-established fan favorite character. Riri is a carbon copy of an already-existing character created so BENDIS! could pick up residuals from any adaptions she features in. Except for a few idiots Riri's race has nothing to do with why people hate her.
>>
>>94209834
They're not the same at all. One is a merger of two different, mid-level properties (Punisher and War Machine) and the other was an OC Donut Steel diversity stunt.

no you retarded fuck, holy shit, this is like me using examples of Ultimate Captain America to say that 616 Captain America has always been a xenophobic and that he wouldn't ally himself with the French or using screenshots of Age of Apocalypse Sabretooth to show that 616 Sabretooth was just a good boy that dindu nuffin and would eventually get around his murderous/cannibalistic tendencies.

They're not the same character, it's not the same universe or even the same setting. FUCK OFF.
>>
>>94210090
For some reason, I got it in my head that this was talking about the MCU. Even more stupid when you think about it, but there you go.
Only other MAX thing I've posted was being pushed out of the helicopter yesterday.
>>
>>94209834
Pretty sure if Lila Rhodes was the replacement for War Machine after he died and she was written by a competent writer a lot of /co/mrades would've had an easier time with that happening.

Instead we get Bendis shoving his OC on Iron man with shit sales so bad that he's bringing Tony back already.
>>
To be fair, the idea of Punisher getting war machine armour and fighting crime was an idea that Dwayne McDuffy had back in the 80s. Frank was going to steal an iron man suit and attack criminals and Tony was going to fight him and take it back. The story was then going to lead to Rhodey getting the suit back and having to deal with the mess that Frank caused.

Maybe a friend of Rhodey will be involved and when this arc ends we get a new AM. What's his niece been doing lately?
>>
>>94210240
>Ultimate Captain America to say that 616 Captain America has always been a xenophobic and that he wouldn't ally himself with the French or

That example would fucking fail for a lot of reason, but mainly it would show you don't know shit about Ultimates outside of the "Muh A doesn't stand for france" meme
>>
>>94210319
>Millar writes him as a xenophobic fuck
>some other guy tries to retcon this and give respect to the french
>Millar doubles down on making fun of the french when Cap gets captured by them and beats them up

Yeah, nah, his characterization was mostly xenophobic jerk
>>
>>94209639
LOL, complaining about Tony Stark being replaced by an african american girl with 0 history is being racist, but complaining about a white guy taking over a traditionally african american character's role is perfectly fine.

They are both BS moves and Marvel needs to go home because it is drunk, but the hypocrisy is just funny.
>>
>>94209772
>They gave the Iron Man name to a black girl
No they didn't. They gave the Iron Man name to a Latverian man.

Why are people bothered with Rhodey's death?

He's a comic book character. Unless your name is Thomas Wayne, Martha Wayne or Ben Parker, chances are you'll be resurrected, cloned, downloaded into a computer and create a human body for yourself, or have it so that the you who died was a fake and you were stuck in some incubator that fed you all the knowledge the imposter was receiving so it's like you never even left.

Nobody ever stays dead in comic books.

Frank, at the end of the day, is a very shallow character. On top of that, you can't create believable long-lasting antagonists for him. Ennis's runs in MAX and Marvel Knights succeeded because he wasn't afraid of writing compelling but one-and-done antagonists for Frank to murder.

Not the same at all.

I'm going to explain how SJW's think. In order to do that, i'm going to have to say some disgusting things. Please, I want you to understand, these are not my views, and it hurts me. But here we go.

To a SJW, Frank Castle epitomizes the patriarchal power fantasy of the right. A White male wronged by the criminal activity of society, criminal activity he very likely caused due to the deleterious effect of the American economical caste system on society. He is a reactionary emblem of middle aged white men frightened by losing control of the civilization they have dominated through economics and coercion for centuries. In response to this threat, he resorts to blatant and heartless violence against the poor and mentally ill as part of a self righteous quest to cleanse undesirables from the world. He narcissistically metes out execution without trial, making himself judge jury and executioner. And while the greater universe supposedly demonizes him for his actions, they also secretly lionize him for the expedience with which he carries them out. The White Male author is sympathetic to Frank Castle and his war of violence and discrimination, and elegize him like Christian Monks did the pagan barbarians of cultural epics of the past (ex. Beowulf). All because he was robbed of his "property", his "family" we never meet which only exists to form some sort of nebulous sense of being wronged, but is really only a pretext to exact his sexual and social frustrations on the less fortunate.

Ok. I'm done. Time to go rinse off.

>>94209987
There was bitching over the human torch but it died down when the movie looked to be absolute shit

Their reasoning for why it's ok for them to complain and not you is because there are "not enough blacks" in comics. As for how much is "enough" you'll never get a straight answer
>>
>>94214837
Which was largely because from quick glance:

*Johnny is Black, Sue is white. So people are confused why Sue's white family adopted a black child.

(Made even more confusing that it's really Johnny's family adopted Sue after Sue's parents died in an accident, yes I sadly saw the movie)

Now if you saw the movie, Black Johnny was nothing like comic Johnny (not even the Ultimates team from which the story was drawing some elements from.) That pissed off people and then MBJ's whole attitude about the thing telling people off just continued to magnify the problem. A similar problem GB2016 would have as the cast/director/liberal bloggers fanned the flames the same way as if that was going to draw in business.

The kicker? MBJ said people would complain and see it anyway. That didn't happen and MBJ looked like a dumb ass for it given all the stoking of anger he did leading up to the movie's release.
