Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@Solitude  
Yes but then again so is the MCU, And this would let them bypass the whole overdone spiderman thing for May’s own journey, like struggling with having to give up Basket ball due to her powers being an unfair edge,

@Thanotos Omega  
That’s comics for ya.

@Solitude  
Plus Marvel is still in some hot water over that whole email thing, and not getting wasp into antman didn’t help.

@Thanotos Omega  
That I know nothing about. What email thing?

@Solitude  
Basiclly the head of marvel studios saying “Super heroines are bad for movies” because of Catwoman Elektra and Supergirl, everyone then pointed out the older Captain America and Fantastic 4 movies.

@Thanotos Omega  
Ah. That kind of thinking. That’s what you get when the higher-ups lose touch with the base.

@Solitude  
Yep, But hey we get a Captain Marvel movie, and as Fury Road showed feminist movies can be a big hit.
 
EDIT and before anyone says that’s my SJW showing, i’m saying that it proved just having feminist messages won’t kill a movie, bad writing will do that, thank you very much Lady Thor.

@Thanotos Omega
 
to be fair, that is an unfair advantage. unless the other team has someone who could do this
 
i really wished they made good on may’s “my parents won’t come back to earth when i bring an osborn home” dilemma.

@OptimusPrimevil  
Parker’s got mad game yo, to bad May always attracted the badboys,
 
Another reason to go with May over Peter giving peter a web launcher cane.

@Thanotos Omega  
is spider-verse canon? didn’t really feel they need to batman poor mayday.

@OptimusPrimevil  
IDK i just know in Spider-Girl peter lost a leg and had to retire to make sure he was there for Mary Jane and May.

@Thanotos Omega  
logically he has to retire. even when he had a replacement robotic leg waaay later, he still hasn’t gotten used to it (and is waaay out of shape for daily web slinging)

@OptimusPrimevil  
Agreed, Still imagine the cool scenes of him trying to Teach May only for her amped up Spider sense to grasp it faster then he did and him getting annoyed that she basically get’s a free ride when she has an experienced teacher while he had to learn it all the hard way.

@Thanotos Omega  
i think they did that in the latter issues (peter commenting when may says her spider-sense can individually track distinct targets unlike his). it was after she was ungrounded for being spider-girl/carnage arc IIRC

@OptimusPrimevil  
LOL!

There’s actually a terminology for this; pardon me for forgetting the exact name of it, but basically it goes like this: if you have straight white males characters in media people will complain about it not being diverse enough; on the other hand if you have women or minorities in media getting injured you’ll get into serious fucking shit. That’s the problem with xmen currently is that it’s too multiculturally diverse, too sexuality wise diverse and too gender diverse; they’ve gotten into deep shit before for having their women and minority characters getting seriously injured in the movies before. Well if you get into shit if you don’t have minorities and women in media, but on the other hand if you get into shit if they get seriously injured then your only option to not get into shit is do the black widow thing of essentially having them as almost background characters.
 
It’s a different media, but look at gaming: this E3 there was actually significantly less women and minorities in the games shown than last years E3. Why? Cause if you have minorities or women characters in games you could lose your job entirely if they get seriously injured.
 
 
I’m going to be honest here; I’m about 40% of the way through going for video game design and when I get out in the world I have no intention of making women or minority characters in games. Why? Cause I do not want to get thrown out of wherever I’m working at for the women and minority characters getting too seriously injured. If it’s a straight white male that gets a bullet through their head in a game or such nobody cares; the new trope in media is that the straight white male is the one that dies; if it’s a woman or a minority that gets killed there’s a very real chance you could get fired from the company.

@uc9  
but wasn’t one of the reasons why x-men (comics) really became a hit is the ‘we’re different so we’re shunned and ostracized but that’s because they don’t know any better’ approach of giant-sized x-men? sure it’s still predominantly white but culturally they were diverse (russian,german,canadian,native american, irish, japanese, african-american)? the original team are still shunned but except for beast and angel, if they don’t use their powers, they can pass off as normal and be treated normally (being all white helped).

@OptimusPrimevil  
And there’s the irony: xmen is a franchise created about diversity getting called racist.

@uc9  
got reminded about when bruce wayne got a black love interest. people went nuts over it. someone pointed out, no one’s complaining professor x is doing a bird woman from outer space (at the time).

@uc9  
Remember, these are the people that want to make Magneto, A JEWISH CHARACTER, black. Because a black character using violence and tyranny to preach his gospel of racial superiority would go over soooooooooo well.

@SquiggyBomb  
turning magneto black would make the dream sequence of adolf hitler congratulating him in being his best student confusing.

@SquiggyBomb  
@OptimusPrimevil  
The people that think X-MEN is racist summarized in one image:  

@SquiggyBomb  
It’s almost like racist white individuals trying to push racial supremacy by using black people as proxies. Not to offend anyone. But this is disgusting.

@uc9  
SJW “diversity” in a nutshell.
 
When ever they say they “promote or welcome inclusiveness, diversity, and safe environment” that is code word for getting rid of everything they find “problematic”. The pattern is there. It’s not diversity, it’s favouritism and discrimination.
 
Everytime they ban people or exclude “problematic” elements from sites and places. They utter the same exact words along the line.

@uc9  
That image is quite funny.
 
It’s an effective argument at how antithetical to diversity these peoples’ ideas are
