The prance:

I guess the "woke" crowd is going for full stereotype here. I thought that was wrong in their world...

This is to brainwash young minds. I was an avid reader of comics as a kid, and there were no “heros” who went in through the back door.

Hope marvel out a lot of the money from the MCU in a safe place because they’re going to need it to stay afloat.

Actually, it will fly off the shelves. The 'investment' value alone drives the market for a lot of this trash.

Comics are essentially novelty driven - hence all the weirdo current/counter-culture characters, the insane 'alternate universe' deus ex machina to kill and resurrect characters at will, and now this.

The comic book industry is already dead.

The entire industry combined (DC, Marvel, etc...) makes less money than ONE superhero movie.

Disney (Marvel) and Warner (DC) are not in it to make money off books anymore, because there isn’t any money to make.

To Disney, Marvel comic books is like Spaceship Earth at Epcot (the big silver ball). The keep it around for nostalgia purposes, not because it’s a main attraction anymore.

"Spaceship Earth at Epcot"

I love Spaceship Earth, but then again I am an old fart. It'll be a sad, sad day when they revamp that ride into a Climate Change/Green Earth sort of thing.

They are looking for a new audience who has no standards whatsoever.

Gee, just what our kids need...more perversity. I hope the copies collect dust and molder on the shelves.

This “new” Captain America will have a difficult time disguising his alter-ego, Steve Rogers. Those two “esses” in the name could be a big problem for the boy.

A limp wrist cannot hold the shield very well. Will his sidekick be Butt Bucky?

Can’t wait till the time he tries to hit on Thor. He will then truly understand the force of the hammer. Then again he and Dr. Strange will hit it off fabulously.

Sorry but in school one of the lowest thing to be called was a ‘faggot”. Do These Marvel idiots think heterosexual boys are going to run to the comic book store to read the antics of a poof swinging a man purse instead of a sheild? I guess optics in the woke wars are now more important then making money for stock holders.

Call me a curmudgeon. I don’t care. After the revolution to retake this nation, everything Disney should be torn down. This includes Disneyland, Disneyworld, EPCOT, any other property. Add to that ABC television. The classic Disney movies can be archived, sold on DVD, but absolutely no new Disney products.
Comcast should be reduced back to a cable company. I say the same for NBC Universal that I said for Disney. 30 Rock goes on the market as prime expensive commercial real estate. With almost everyone exiting New York, just who will buy it.

If you can't sell to the normals, sell to the freaks, but sell, sell, sell.
