Gee, big surprise. Makes me wanna barf.
And if you’re actually putting in a Muz as a hero - making it female with scarf to punctuate it - you’ve really gone over the edge.
I need to clarify something.
I don’t actually mind racial/sex diversity. But even so, if it is to happen, it should happen gradually.
Throwing all this at us (I’m female) at once is just far too much, and stretches credulity. How did we go from all white(?) guys with no noticeable religious or even “sexual” tendencies to every kind of person there could be, including those who made a choice to be what they are?
Perhaps their erstwhile readers didn’t care for morality that emerged from some leftist’s nether regions to be shoved down their throats. Particularly when they were paying for the privilege.
One has to wonder if a Hollywood executive made the same comments how long before he would be canned.
I hope they go out of business. Along with Target, Starbucks and the rest.
I had no objection to a female or bi-racial superhero. Nor, I suspect, did most fans. I really didn’t need all the PC inclusion, though. What if, instead of a Muslim superhero, they’d added a Christian superhero? Right, I know, wouldn’t even be considered.
But you see, the Guardian won’t blame Marvel - no, not at all.
They will see it as simply another failing of irredeemable, racist white men, for not accepting Marvel’s “common sense” attempts to increase “diversity.”
Teen aged boys from 9 to 90 read “comic books” for the slam bang action, and if any females grace the pages they must be damned hot. Girls are really into these novels, and if the writers were trying to make a living selling to females, they would go broke.
‘Kamala Khan, a Muslim teenage girl’
Absolutely untrue. I just looked at pics of the character. She doesn’t even wear a hijab, much less a burka. She’s also wearing a mini-dress. If she were a Muslim teenager, she’d have been ‘honor,’ killed ages ago.
Hope the perverts go bankrupt.
DC is just as guilty...look at CW 'superhero' shows...they have lost HALF of their viewers. Why? They have inserted sodomite themes into EVERY show; 'Supergirl' being the worst of the bunch. Viewers still won't comment in public, for fear of being labeled 'racist' or 'bigot'...they just change the channel or quit watching.
Apparently the failure of the WNBA was a lesson lost.
All that work to sell a good product and build up the customer base to only lose it all as they sacrifice themselves to the altar of “diversity”.
We have no problem with women, or people of a different color.
But it really pushes the limits of credibility when you present gay men or m*slims as super strong heroes.
I’ll never understand businesses purposefully alienating large swaths of customers to push the progressive agenda.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Americans don’t take to brainwashing except in university settings, and “students” are too busy protesting and/or drinking to read Marvel comic books.
It must be the movies that keeps them in business
When I was a kid you could buy comics at the local drug store. Now there is one place in metro Memphis that sells comics
Maybe if they hadn’t decided to simply replace beloved characters from my childhood with females for reasons that make absolutely no sense even in comic book terms, it might have worked out a little more smoothly. The Mighty Thor from my comic book days in the ‘70s is now a drunkard who can’t lift his hammer while his former girlfriend is now the new Thor and the new owner of the hammer. Why? Because girrrl power or something.
Ya think?
