delet... Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 People care about this? i don't see why, they probably don't actually care squee, it's just a thing you know to pass the time. It's funny when i was little i used to read mythology, read everything i could find in the library in our little town, then in my teens i graduated to comics. heh. well when i could afford them. My brother got marvel though and i had to buy dc, i don't know how it worked out that way and i was kind of jealous. ar well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 im sure any super woman would look and sound like a man if they were real and if body builders are anything to go by This is true. I can imagine the reaction from the others attending if i brought that up in the meeting where they decided this, especially if i had a few mock up sketches.

Guest Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 this is dumb. why not introduce a new female superhero instead of shoehorning it into an established canon? rumourrs of Matt Damon playing the new Wonder Woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarion Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 i like this because I can watch people get angry and feel vaguely superior because i do not give a fuck of course the fact that I have to resort to such measures to get validation reveals how shallow and awful my life is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 This is only funny because of the inevitable nerdrage that it will cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 for reals. http://time.com/2987574/thor-will-now-officially-be-a-woman-in-marvel-comics/ someone at my work brought this up (a woman) and it pissed me off. my thoughts are as follows: marvel acknowledges that women are considered inferior. why then revert a character that has always been considered male to be female if not only to reverse this mindset? instead, what i would have loved to see is them either a). create a female character that rivals thor, is better than thor or as cool as though or b). write a story where thor's own power is diminished by a female character. in my personal opinion, i don't think characters (especially fictional) should be fully acceptable. part of their flaws is what makes them relatable. greek and roman gods weren't perfect. in fact, they were the centerpiece for nietzsche's theory to supermen.

baph Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The only thing this really says about anything is that modern entertainment production companies will not invest in new IP because it doesn't sell in guaranteed quantities. Marvel is Hollywood. No big fucking surprise, really. Do not feed the mildly-aggressive reboot buzz engine. Let it die. Let it all die. Please, let it die.

zkom Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Lels. Please don't bang me with that hammer Miss Thorbarella. Why do people care about this stuff? I stopped reading Marvel comics at age 16. The movies are unwatchable as far as I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloman Tump Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't really give a shit, not read a marvel comic in about a decade now. I just agree that the nerdrage is strong with this one. And it annoys me how they have to bastardise an existing storyline and shoehorn in more women. Kinda related (but not) it really annoys me how politicians keep saying we must have more female MPs and more women must sit in on parliament. No! I want the right person doing the right job to the best of their ability, gender does not come into it. Do not get the female quota up if they are not the best candidate for the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
