I remember a capeshitter homie trying that line as some sort of gotcha when I was a kid, I just said "nude". I'm not saying it gotcha'd his gotcha, but it was fun
IIRC, the guy playing Luke Cage actually somewhat hated capeshit.
People always say "Marvel only exists as an IP farm for the MCU" but when has that ever been true? When that originally was said, it was referring to the 2010s legacy characters being fodder for replacements once the actors retired which is the only case of it to be true. Can you name me a post MCU story that actually got adapted into the MCU? Hell, even when they do characters like Ms. Marvel, they made her into a genie and took basically nothing in terms of narrative from the books she came from even if you give them the pass on the Inhumans. Name any Phase 4 character and they basically have little to nothing from the original.
That's exactly the point, they just make characters now just to use them for the sake of MCU. However, it's changed from what it originally meant for due to how worse it got.
Snowflake and Safespace are from a cancelled comic that never came out with the only one to actually make it being B-Negative as a background character in another book. I very much doubt they're ever getting into the MCU. My point is even if you fixate on the characters they take nothing and might as well be OCs. Even characters that predate the MCU that get added now like Shang-Chi, Eternals, Moon Knight, etc. are all like that
I suspect the Snowflake and Safespace book was meant as either a trial balloon or sacrificial lamb by editorial to see if they could turn anti-SJW clickbait into sales. It's not crazy or new, producers like Corman, Friedman, and the guys at AIP, among others, used to gin up free publicity for their exploitation movies by deliberately courting controversy and sometimes even faking protests. Plus, these goons are so ideologically isolated they just assumed they could generate massive sales and support by crying about the mean Nerdrotic et al shitting on their poor, oppressed comic, not realizing that there weren't enough hate-readers to prop them up and SJWs don't spend money on anything other than Funko Pops and Uber Eats. The annual budget for Marvel and DC Comics are so low that their parent companies consider them as a rounding error, so all these mistakes and own goals and decisions are probably being made on the loser level, and like most loser level decisions made by low-value, low-salary midwits, they are erratic, ill advised, and made in a vacuum.
The executives are probably engaging in A-B testing with comics. They let the wokies do whatever to see small audience reaction and see the outsized dislike for the content. They then poach some of the more recognizable comics names, but make them OCs because their performance in comics was abysmal. "Let's NOT give Ms. Marvel goofy inflatable hands!" or "Let's NOT have Lady Thor be massively insecure and overcompensate for everything!"
Probably they're also figuring, "well shit we already own these dumb characters and those Kids These Days seem to like gay brown people, let's stick em into the next movie or TV show and see if we can turn it into money", plus they probably figure it'll gain them those sweet, sweet ESG credits, and the creators and actors are being paid in Home Depot gift cards and free sandwiches anyway, so what can it hurt.
No, they aren't doing that in any sense. You don't have to make it a mystery box we can't look into when Marvel Studios straight up tells you what they're doing. Ms. Marvel being a shapeshifter in her original comic was to tie into her story starting off with a "being conformable being yourself" message with her starting off by pretending to be Carol. She's not "stretchy Mr. Fantastic clone" like you usually see online and arguably could be called a Mystique knock-off if anything which would still be silly. The genie thing with Ms. Marvel is because they want her to have big flashy powers like Carol's for The Marvels.
Literally Falcon becoming Captain America and Jane Foster getting cancer and becoming Thor.
Marvel does seem to be burning more bridges as this stuff keeps going. Their VFX artists seem to have enough of this.
I'm not saying straight up retellings, I mean did they use the stories where those things happened in any real form? Sam as Cap and Jane-Thor are elements of those stories. You can't call something an adaptation because somebody wore the same shirt. That's an extremely surface level way of looking at things.
I'm not surprised honestly. That said, they're still being shilled for.
Her response to "Why is your CG so shit?" is straight up "Yeah we know it looks plastic and fake, but its not my fault. My boss signed off on it, so she's partially to blame. Also maybe the actress makes weird faces that are hard to reproduce in CG?"Kat Coiro said:
IDK, Glass was kinda meh.
There's maybe one character this applies to. I'm not including Wanda because lol, no body = no death.
The MCU era of peak of pop culture juggernaut died when le purple man turnt to dust and Iron Man died.
Virtually every super hero commits sacrifice in some way or another whether it's risking his life or losing on his personal life. The fact that it's completely ignored when men do it (probably because they expect them to) really brings to mind the joke that, for women, empathy is a super power.
