Recently, this site has been in a hostile mode. With the news that Iron Man was being turned into a teenage, black girl got people mad (teenage black..girl? Yeah, Marvel's just taking it a bit far, eh?) but that doesn't mean that Marvel is SWJ and ruining their comics.
Look, i am not a white and angry man. I'm a black irish man who works in a pub with my mates. I earn a pretty good salary, and i have gone through some not so friendly situations around my race, even being called...you know. Marvel representing black people is nothing wrong; but i do feel as though changing characters is. I mean, you got these characters already established and people have grown to love and be used to these versions of the characters. Miles Morales is a good change; Sam Wilson as Cap was not; yeah, diversity should be insued more and seen more in media, but not like this; Marvel is the ultimate dick in this story.
Like what did Tony Stark do to you? They just HAD to make Iron Man pass the mantle; creating new and exciting characters is out of the question. Today, Doctor Doom, one of the best villains in comics of all time, PERIOD, got retconned into…*drums insue*......IRON MAN!!.
See? This is the most dumb and corporate shit i've seen in my f-ing life! It's unbelievable how they would turn a villain like Doom into Iron Man. Plus this is just re-inforcing the stigma that i noticed these days that Marvel just likes to make random people Iron Man. The teenage black girl was alright; good for diversity although the title should be Iron Woman or something or Iron Lady; come on, Iron Man? Anyways, it is a piss poor attempt for people to buy copies. It happened with the Captain Hydra fiasco and it happened with this.
Now, jumping from this issue to another. This site. Yeah, the very site you're looking this article on. I am new, i mean, i have been following the site for 2 years, but joined only recently and i feel as though the troll problem is out of control. BVS was a failure, 'right? I [frick]ing hated it's guts and the ultimate cut made it slightly better but not a masterpiece, it's still a shite film. So, DC fans are just people who love BVS, according to people who are #TeamMarvelites.
It goes to show that there is unfairness in this site, and much more. People posting RT scores to prove Marvel's superiority over DC have their point. To not come off as a DC 'troll' which i'm not, i'll admit Marvel makes some damn perfect movies. Fun, sad, intense at times, they're just really good. I am a fan of Marvel, i like them. Their comics are shit, but with the money they're making on their movies, they couldn't give less of a shit.
But what if, THE DCEU turns itself around. We all want to see these characters done justice. A rocky and bad start can only turn itself into a good, coherent universe. Or, so i hope.
Marvelites are Marvel fanboys (not all marvel fans, i love you lads, but the goat minded sub community), loving everything Marvel and hating everything DC because the attitude in the comments lead them to believe so, because believe or not, many young teens (around 12-14 or so) watch and love these movies, what's stopping them from going to the interwebs and sharing their opinion? Nothing, so stop and don't tell me that's just a stereotype cause you and me both know it's goddamn true.
