We talk a lot about how woke Disney-owned Marvel is, but it's biggest competitor DC isn't learning any lessons Marvel's failures. In fact, they seem to be going all out to go out of business first.
The bi-sexual Superman comic they launched lasted all of one year.
Then there were the shameless diversity covers that essentially equated Hispanic people with food.
Remarkably, Dr. Jill Biden's breakfast tacos didn't make the cut. Sorry, San Antonio!
And now, DC is trying again by introducing a new gay-Green Lantern title called Green Lantern: Alan Scott.
And if turning another superhero into a flaming homosexual isn't enough, they're trying another tactic and adding "God-endorsed" sodomy to the plotline.
(I blurred the near-nudity here)
"Hey — if God himself didn't want me to love you then how could I?"
You might be surprised to learn that sales of the new book were abysmal. The writer, Tim Sheridan, took to social media to call all the fans that refused to buy his soft-core gay fantasy books "haters" and "queerphobes" and begged people to buy them.
"The only way we can shut these people down is to make this book an undeniable success," he continued. "The only way to prove to the big publishers that there's a huge market for authentic stories about LGBTQIA+ characters and these stories are for everyone is to buy the heck out of books like this."
Yeah, no one showed up. Much like the other panderverse DC storylines, the title is tanking.
The Comicbook Hub system that tracks sales across random stores did not register the book on its charts … at all.
Sales were all but non-existent.
But DC isn't ready to throw in the towel and just give up because of the failure of one diversity book … or even several diversity books (and television shows ... and movies).
They also have a several-million dollar streaming series staring the gay Green Lantern in production!
No one is ever going to be okay with you gaying up comic books.
Just stay down, DC.
How does that phrase go again? “Get woke, go _”?
Slow learners. Extremely slow learners…
Before this obvious retcon, Alan Scott was married (twice) with two children who became superheroes. Not sure why DC needed to do this. They could have just introduced a new character. BTW, one of Alan Scott’s kids turned out to be that way...
Well at least it wasn’t Hal Jordan
God, that must have galled the left no end...
What about A GAY MICKEY MOUSE? And a TRANSGENDER PLUTO?
I recently had a relative gushing about the openly gay pastor at her church, as if this was some kind of virtue and somehow made him extra-holy.
I simply can’t understand the outright homosexual worship taking place in this country right now.
Maybe audiences just don’t want their superheroes to be perverts.
Believe it or not, there was a time when even the Left were for those same values.
I remember all of the American Flag lapel pins worn by my liberal friends in the weeks after 9/11.
It wore off fairly quickly, though, and they soon returned to bashing Dubya.
It didn’t help that they went after the e-book market. Those have no collectors’ value. It’s long been suggested that many if not most of the Gay Superman sales were collectors looking for a rarity.
Yep Marvel and DC lost me a long time ago.
Marxism... they can’t just start their own characters, or do their own art, or have their own heroes, their own businesses, their own schools. They have to destroy everything but their own foul emissions.
I agree it's hard to understand. But the apostle Paul taught us about it in Romans 1. God lets us experience sin to wake us up to coming back to believing in Him. I'm not saying be pro-sin (including homosexuality). I'm saying the more we see it or are tempted by it ourselves, and certainly the more we experience the natural consequences of sin, the more it should be a wake up call to turn back to him. Read the verses below beginning with verse 16, which seems to start off right (not ashamed of the gospel). Yet watch how people turn away from believing He exists, so God let them be suspect to their heterosexual sin (verse 24), hoping that would wake them up. When it didn't God let them be susceptible to homo sin (verse 26). If that doesn't wake people up, God has in mind even more sin like normalizing murder (IMHO it already happens with abortion). Those are in the verses after the ones I posted below.
Romans 1:16-27 (NIV): 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[e] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”[f]
God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Maybe they should get bi Superman and gay Green Lantern together.
I was done with Marvel and DC comics before starting high school, well over 50 years ago. Can’t believe how many adults take all this stuff seriously.
But there isn't such a market, as numerous other attempts in media and films have shown.
Buy this book / comic / see this film .... or gay subculture will suffer. That will not work.
Come on, man! That would just be Goofy!
It’s not for money. The purpose is to wreck the culture, destroy its institutions and unity, and normalize a degenerate anarchy.
Evil has many uses for degenerate anarchy.
last modern one bought was a 6 run of Sgt Rock.
