True. I was drawn to the story based on the headline that seemed to indicate Marvel blamed women for the decline in sales so I clicked on it and . . . No, that’s not what Marvel said at all. It’s a clickbait article. It worked on me!

I will say the guy above gave me a much more clear sense of the original content you reference, gotta say it’s seems like you wanted to put more of a spin on small piece of his statement. I get that might be what stood out and the above comments may have seemed like dressing to cover what you thought were his rotten…
No, it’s part of a racist AND misogynist agenda. Comics fans hate women and foreigners. Just ask any Io9 writer, they’ll tell you. :)
The only Marvel comics I have on pull are Ms. Marvel, Spider-Gwen, and Squirrel Girl. Why? Well, they’re well written for one. But also they tend to be mostly above these big, dumb, crossover events that expect you to follow tons of different characters to understand what’s going on.
I read something at the end of the…
They are putting out way too many comics. You can’t reel in new readers when you don’t change the crazy system of storylines switching over to other series and back and forth, and it’s way too expensive to buy them all.
Why do media executives always learn the wrong lesson? Like the new ghostbusters failed because it was a candy coated confused mess, not because it had four talented awesome women given shit to do as the leads. Do they realize that? No.
Hell that plane by itself is pretty cool.
Oh, like American Gods. That would be sweet if they show historical figures of all countries, not just Ludendorff, to be Ares in disguise.
Totally agree with you. It should have been MJ who was shot. It would have made the entire story make more sense, and actually have some real emotional impact.
Wow, that’s surprisingly way more brilliant.
Is it big wolf on Campus? It’s big wolf on campus, isn’t it...
Shit. Even DC shows on the friggin CW can handle evil beings exhuding bad feelings, bringing out the worst in everyone. If they can’t handle that in WW that’s just lazy writing. Adding a Hitler-Sue, if you will.
Yes, and the message was no man was absolutely needed in the life of a child. Diana cleary said “I have no father, I was brought to life..” Much like the clay origin, her birth is still through means of a Greek God. The important role imo, is that she’s a champion for all of humanity.
He had problems with alcohol and pills, IIRC, so he may have been bloated from that.
That’s not what a Faustian bargain is, you’re thinking of Genies. A Faustian bargain is literally any deal with the devil. Sometimes they have a tricky caveat to them, but the thing I’m arguing here is your claim that there was no consequence: he lost his fucking marriage.
Head apparently had a play in London and couldn’t make the shoot.
What the hell?! Giles absence and that goofy portrait totally alarmed me for a moment.
What’s with the bizarre narrative? There was no quirk or “beating out”, Lego already has a hugely successful Star Wars license and is happy with the huge amount of sets they pump out just for that theme. They’ve turned down other sci-fi franchises before to avoid stepping on their own toes with competing themes. I…

Uh, you know it’s not a zero sum game right? I can respect the struggle of the suffragette movement, without erasing the simple reality that an awful lot of them were also racist as all hell. I’m going to keep calling out Germaine Greer’s ridiculous and toxic transphobia, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to throw my…
