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.
And it sucked in the comics too.
It was only a matter of time until the movies followed the same path.
Agreed. I gave it a chance and it was boring. I'm sure the critics will rave, but like I said I will be able to make some money off of it.
Soyboys and dykes don't exactly have a strong understanding of heterosexual women.
They don't understand, or rather, refuse to believe that the average woman's greatest wish is to be with a powerful and hypercompetent man. They have such hubristhink that if they just show women all these stories of women in traditionally male roles, they can re-engineer human behavior.
I tried giving the female doctor a chance but then I was done after the Rosa Parks episode. Also they could’ve just spun off a female character. And I’m not sure I’ll watch again when Davies gets back if they don’t retcon timeless children. Luckily there is a ton of classic Who I need to see.
You nailed it about what women want to see. I remember a study showing what men and women look for in a movie. Surprise surprise they have different wants
Typical for Hollywood. And of course race swapped Valkyrie will be bisexual. She is a great character in the comics but race swapping is the norm now. But yea, just because it’s in the comics doesn’t make it good.
She was a great character in the comics until she recently died and Jane Foster replaced her as the new one. Sound familiar? 🤔
Kinda the point of serialized comics, no? To be able to try out crazy ideas and move on if they flop?
Or spend millions to try again because this director is the one that can pull it off...
True
Does the movie have Bor giving his unsolicited opinions of Isreal?
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
