I guess Marvel wants to suffer the same woke madness that Snap Chat, Netflix, and Disney have been enjoying.

There are simply not enough Trans folks to make a national go of this type of crap.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Children don’t buy comics. Transgender was quite literally done thirty years ago in an X-Men spin off title called Alpha Flight. They were kinda the Canadian Avengers. One of the original characters, Sasquatch (Walter), a scientist and former football player, died and came back as a woman and used the name Wanda. His teammate girlfriend rejected his new female body. Eventually he became Walter again but I don’t remember that story.

The series is famous for the first out gay Marvel Superhero, Northstar. He was always meant to be gay per his creator but wasn’t officially out until the early nineties. He was also supposed to have contracted HIV/AIDS but the editors were too afraid to go there so he had a unspecified illness.

His twin sister was Walter/Wanda’s girlfriend.

“Transgender mutant”? That’s redundant.

“…transgender and nonbinary children.”

Aliens have figured ‘we are nuts’.

So glad I haven’t purchased a comic book since the price went from 12 cents to 15 cents.

They’ll puff up those numbers by offering free tickets to the local schools and/or sponsoring local school trips for kids to see the new movie.

The schools will jump on it as “culturally enriching” since they push the same agenda on our children.

This along with lots of teaching supplies - free - for classrooms - book covers, lesson plans, coloring pages, crafts and other material touting the movie and transgenderism.

Yeah, that is really micro-marketing, at best. They have another reason.

The Biden clown show is ahead of this. After all, we’ve got that uber fugly “thing” parading around in an Admiral’s uniform pretending that he/she/it/whatever is actually a sentient being.

1) Marvel Comics DID have female versions of superheroes in their actual comic books. It's NOT the gender that is the problem. It's the pretending/warping the nature of being a woman and femininity that people can stomach.

2) This agenda of pretending/warping woke-ness is killing their profits ... maybe they are just playing with "F-You Money" because they have so much cash?? Current Marvel investors be mad, tho' ...

3) The normalization and celebration of Gender Dysphoria is not being sold as well as homosexuality. In fact, the harder they push "transgenderism", "queer-ness", "minor attracted persons", etc.... the more they are losing ground on the acceptance of homosexuality. And, there are becoming more brazen and violent about it.

“Mutant transgender. Well that is an oxymoron."

Oxymoron: "a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction."

I don't think "Mutant" and "transgender" are "contradictory" terms. They are completely interchangeable IMHO.

So which is worse? Marketing smoking to kids or indoctrinating them on gender fluidity and surgical mutilation that brings mental health issues (as a minimum)?
