I find it very funny how the "twitter weirdos" as Eric July calls them are using the "its in the comic books" defense for the new Thor movie. Yet these are the same people who blow a gasket if we don't love all the "reimagining" going one in other stories (Wheel of Time I'm looking at you).
On the bright side when the Marvel Now line first started I was still buying new comic books (only buy older ones now except for indies) so I can sell the Female Thor comic book. Funny thing is Marvel Now introduced all these characters that failed and got cancelled, but they are still insisting on pushing them and Kevin Feige wants to have mostly female super heroes. I distinctly remember America Chavez comic books collecting dust. To think of all the Silver age and Bronze age series they could've adapted. Sadly I'm sure this movie will make money. I do hope that one day in a business class, comic books will be used as an example of how not to operate a business.
Shit, when I was a kid, Superman was going through his "dork" age, when writers would just pull any new ability out of their asses because "it's cool" and "it's for kids, who the fuck cares, they read these and then throw 'em away." Seriously, comics weren't meant to be taken seriously, and they knew they could get away with any old bullshit.
So "it's in the comics" is no fucking excuse, really, because the comics themselves were nonsense.
True but I’m mainly mocking the same people who applaud race and gender swaps and get upset when you point out that it’s in the comics that they are white or a male
