The question ultimately is who or what is funding this?!
No business can survive this kind of stupidity because, afaik, nobody is actually buying this garbage - and yet, Disney persists in pushing this woke garbage (not unlike Ghostbusters 2016)
There's no profit here to sustain the business models and yet they're not only doubling down on this garbage they're tripling down.
Are they living off the communist funding the US government has now pushed? I can't imagine that being enough... maybe funding from the CCP?
We are. Via streaming subscriptions. We pay $15 a month to watch our favorite old television shows on repeat - which used to be called syndication, which was free - and then Netflix hands our money over to woke leftist retards to create content that almost no one wants.
All of this machinery is hidden from the public; we have no accurate metrics for determining how many people are watching any of this garbage.
Well Disney has huge revenue streams coming from non-woke stuff. For a company that large, it could take 20 years or more to start seeing the real impact of this woke bullshit on the balance sheet.
International rootless cosmopolitans is the term we're using these days I think. Basically evil people who lurk behind the scenes and have a shit ton of money to pour into poisoning the minds of entire societies.
The same character threw a hissy fit when Doc Samson likened his being stuck in the wrong body to the Dr being trans.
For context: Hulks die a lot in IH. A LOT. But come back after sundown now. Samson had recently died but his body kinda melted so it was going to take a while to regen this time. Plus, the actual Devil of the Marvel universe, 'The One Below All' prevented Samson from rezzing in his own body by blocking the path back. Samson needed to do something ASAP for plot reasons and managed to get past this by... coming back in the body of Sasquatch. Which he is now stuck in. In beast form.
The Doc then complained when Samson likened their 2 situations despite Samson actually being the worse off out of the two. That's how entitled the Dr acts since Samson is quite literally stuck in the wrong body through an act of "God" albeit in this case the literal supreme Devil of the universe who is trying to literally destroy existence the next time the universe reboots by making a planet sized plus Hulk who will go around punching planets and tearing stars in half.
They think this is how it would go down in real life, this is their fantasy. Theirs and theirs alone, that's why no one is buying these titles, not even Leftist allies. This is a joke.
I dunno man. I've heard a lot of people lately saying Invincible is amazing and hilarious, a great deconstruction of superhero comics and comics in general.
I checked it out, and it's fucking awful. It's this same sort of leftist Marvel shit, nonstop, all the time, and falls far short of "deconstruction and satire/criticism of the medium".
It does not surprise me at all that Japanese comics are beating the hell out of American shit. The whole American industry is compromised. And yet there are still fans of this crap somewhere out there.
It's this same sort of leftist Marvel shit, nonstop, all the time
That's because they changed things from the comic.
Massive spoilers ahead that get more and more significant as I go.
Debbie isn't Asian for starters so Marc isn't half Asian as a result. They changed the characters races because of who they cast for the voices.
Amber isn't black in the comic.
That change is going to bite them in the ass when her domestic violence event happens although her bf at that time will probably still be white.
Rex and Rudy are both white and redheads.
Rudy quite literally looks like an adult Lex Luthor with a full ginger beard and hair in the last main arc of the 144 issue comic but yet again the ginger gets wokewashed.
The level of destruction caused when Nolan and Marc fight is nowhere near as graphic as the cartoon went with. Nolan doesn't fly Marc though train passengers in the comic they both crash through the roof of the underground and then onto a train which is then crushed by the collapsing building above. THAT kills the remaining passengers, not Nolan driving Marc face first though blood bags.
Marc's best friend William isn't revealed to be gay until well after issue 100. Instead the show started at that point possibly to avoid some of the outright cringe they'd get crucified for on Twitter by the left and right given how William and his bf treat Marc after William is out.
Marc gets raped by a Viltrumite woman later on. Will be interesting to see how the cartoon portrays her as she is completely unapologetic about it because she ends up with the rape baby she wants in the first place.
Overall despite the comic nailing the ending issue the whole story is essentially a massive dunk fest on Marc every few arcs. His world gets "destroyed" several times over without the actual planet being destroyed but it comes close a few times.
A true adaptation was never going to happen as the comic was very much a product of it's time so some of the humour would piss off woke crowds now despite being harmless banter between friends.
I didn't watch the show. I read around 100 volumes of the comic, and quit at the rape scene. I kind wish I had stopped earlier.
I was very unimpressed with basically everything - character development, plot, action, "jokes", and the absolutely ridiculous amount of gratuitous sex. The main character and "hero" is nothing more than a Mary Sue and a heel. I can see tons of opportunities for whoever is adapting it for TV to cuck it up even more.
it implies that we aren’t ‘real’ women until and unless we transition
You're not real women after you get your dick and balls surgically mutilated by a Thai butcher, either. You never will be, you're just pathetic, porn-crazed coomers.
What I miss about comic books and violent movies from the past, characters like this would be shot dead amid the battle so the audience would cheer. In the shit meant for kids, the character would end up tossed out on their ass ala Brainy Smurf "Papa Smurf...". It was a cheap 'shot', but worked to change the tone from to more upbeat.
Sorry to interrupt your politic social justice superhero escapism- we need to bombard you with more politics you already agree with if you bought this rag

Who is paying for all this shit content?
We are. Via streaming subscriptions. We pay $15 a month to watch our favorite old television shows on repeat - which used to be called syndication, which was free - and then Netflix hands our money over to woke leftist retards to create content that almost no one wants.
All of this machinery is hidden from the public; we have no accurate metrics for determining how many people are watching any of this garbage.
To sum up: streaming services are communism.
Well Disney has huge revenue streams coming from non-woke stuff. For a company that large, it could take 20 years or more to start seeing the real impact of this woke bullshit on the balance sheet.
Will it though? People watch the old shows because they remember them from when they were a kid.
This woke nonsense is what kids are watching now. It stands to reason that they'll be nostalgic for it in 20 years.
This.
They can afford to lose profits in the short and long-term, because the whole plan is to indoctrinate future generations.
It's a tired old saying at this point, but for them it's not about the money it's about the message.
International rootless cosmopolitans is the term we're using these days I think. Basically evil people who lurk behind the scenes and have a shit ton of money to pour into poisoning the minds of entire societies.

Sounds like a really stupid story.

A mutilated dude caked in make-up is still a dude.
That's a MAN baby, yeaaah!
You're not real women after you get your dick and balls surgically mutilated by a Thai butcher, either. You never will be, you're just pathetic, porn-crazed coomers.
Only fish and frogs can actually change gender. Humans cannot.
All I got out of this is affectionate smiles for those ridiculous villains.
I miss goofy shit like that that wasn't in pursuit of some political goal or fake Joss Whedon quip emulation.
What I miss about comic books and violent movies from the past, characters like this would be shot dead amid the battle so the audience would cheer. In the shit meant for kids, the character would end up tossed out on their ass ala Brainy Smurf "Papa Smurf...". It was a cheap 'shot', but worked to change the tone from to more upbeat.
