Chuds hated it for being woke. The targer audience hated it because they didnt feel represented, they felt mocked. One near universal backlash later its thrown in the bin.
The whole thing reads like an alt-right satire of what they think left politics is.
Possibly the worst comic book idea ever conceptualized
Gonna have to pull a hard disagree with you on that.
"It is the year 2021, and tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of 9/11. America is under oppression by ultra-liberal extremists that have surrendered governing authority to the United Nations. It is up to an undergorund group of bio-mechanically enhanced conservatives led by Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, and Oliver North to thwart Ambassador Usama Bin Laden's plans to nuke New York City."
Let's be real, if we include the deliberately right-wing chudbooks, we're gonna be sharing utter tripe all night
It would be one thing if this was an independent artist and the whole joke was "haha, this is what CHUDS THINK we're like!"
But no, this was 100% serious.
Honestly, CHUDs can have slop like this. If so many gamergate types at the end of the day just want to be pandered to as white men, they can more than have it especially if that means they will get off our backs.
especially if that means they will get off our backs.
They wont.
you forgot about the other one, Screentime. A teenager who got exposed to "internet gas" and now sees memes everywhere. His power is his brain is connected to google. I'm not kidding.
Internet gas and related powers actually sounds cool. Maybe bring that back for a Section 8 remake?
So with Google destroying their search engine algorithm and the emergence of AI bullshit, the kids basically got terminal boomer brain at a young age
A Meme-Obsessed super teen whose brain became connected to the internet after becoming exposed to his grandfather’s “experimental internet gas.” Now he can see augmented reality and real-time maps, and can instantly Google any fact. Does this make him effectively a genius? He sure acts like it does.
"I wanted to have teen characters who felt as "now" as the New Warriors did in 1990,” explains Kibblesmith. “The New Warriors have been zeitgeist characters from the beginning, you get edgy skateboarding Night Thrasher in the '90s and the Reality TV team in the 2000s, and now in 2020, we have New Warriors who have never grown up without the Internet, and one character who appears to essentially live inside it.
“The word ’screen time’ is only ever used in a sort of restrictive sense, and because we’re doing a story about teenage rebels, a lot of the names are about teens fighting against labels that are put on them. So with Screentime, we liked the idea that he has infinite screen time.”
Grandpa's internet gas? Oh god, he's plagued by 4chan stuff everywhere, isn't he?
I didnt even know about that one lol. Just these two and B Positive, who's design i admittedly like.
The best part was how big of a deal they made about this iteration of the New Warriors
Like they put out a press release and did a big announcement splash on their website
Then everyone immediately tore into it, it was just completely eviscerated
To the point where Marvel scrubbed it, like utterly wiped out everything they could, because it was just that poorly planned
Honestly, Marvel's just been one bad idea after another these last 20 years
True, but early on, Miles had a lot of white guy baggage from Bendis writing him
Lest we forget, his dad was literally named Jefferson Davis as a "gag"
also there have been numerous white authors who write Miles Morales speaking with a stereotypical "ghetto" inflection that doesn't resemble how black people in NYC actually talk
Yep
It's especially rough since Miles is one of the very few Puerto Rican superheroes out there, so it hits me on a very personal level to see him getting written poorly
it's like the stupidest people at the company heard about outrage marketing and thought "hey, we can do that!"
