    Let it die. Marvel and DC should just be dissolved and their liquid cash redistributed to their worst-compensated employees and then indiscriminately among struggling webcomic artist patreons.

    Oh yeah, the newest New Warriors right?

    Snowflake and Safespace weren't even the best part of that whole thing

    You had the other new characters that we're just weird stereotypes of the youth.

    Like the kid who's power was being constantly online because his brain is hooked to the internet

    Or the teenage goth vampire (but he's a living vampire like Morbius, so he's a good guy)

    Or my personal favorite, A FUCKING NATIVE MEXICAN GIRL WHO HAS A MAGIC BACKPACK

    THEY JUST MADE DORA THE EXPLORER

    It's such a bad fucking attempt they made on this that there's literally no fucking way to know anything about the comic because nobody wants to actually read it and it's been delayed like eight months anyway which means it's liable to just get up and canceled

          A Meme-Obsessed super teen whose brain became connected to the internet after becoming exposed to his grandfather’s “experimental internet gas."

          They’re hyper aware of modern culture and optics, and they see their Super Heroics as “a post-ironic meditation on using violence to combat bullying.” They're probably streaming this.

          “The world is a vampire…and so am I.”

          My word. Even by comic book standards, this is some extremely on-the-nose self-parody.

          I don't even know where to start...

          The phrase Kamala's Law felt like it punched me in the face and then the rest of it just didn't stop

            Like, I like the character of Kamala Khan, I like superheroes, but it's been really fucking weird seeing them become these gormless mass-produced products being used to shovel out other gormless mass-produced products designed to appeal to specific markets

            I mean, I don't know what I hate more, this really blatant nonsense with the New Warriors or the cheap token characters like Vibe or Silk

          When Kamala’s Law goes into effect in the highly anticipated one-shot, OUTLAWED, super heroics will be left to the adults and underage heroes will be banned unless they have official government assigned mentors

          Congrats, Marvel. You just copied Boku No Hero/My Hero Academia.

          Yeah, there's no way Marvel's actually pandering to chuds and terfs, they're clearly going to be pushing wokeness as part of their brand (corporate wokeness where you've already done the market research to know this will improve your bottom line and you're not really risking anything).

          Definitely not worth getting mad over. It's cringe, but the heart is in the right place. It's not even Marvel Corp, but just some writer who got the green light
