From time to time I find myself reflecting on my feelings towards my fav characters, on the writing itself and editorial policies, on discursive issues that gives me anguish and/or amaze me. Here are some of 'em.

This false analogy is not by chance, it's exactly to build a false idea about MLK & Malcolm X, about the "good" black leader and the "evil" black leader, about the one who supposedly wouldn't dare contest the status quo and the one who would be seen as a real threat to the same.
@EmmaTalksComics
Bingo! Marvel is controlled by people who were not very happy to see ordinary people feel or express sympathy for a character who, to some extent, sounded a bit like Che Guevara, Malcolm X and Fred Hampton, and preached revolution against oppression by their own means.

I wonder if we Cyclops fans will finally get the chance to see Scott throw Hank McCoy's hypocrisy in his face, after everything he's done, after all the hate against Scott. And then, everything he did in the current Krakoa era.
The Whitewashing Of Starfire

Starfire has undergone many changes in her physical appearance since 1980, in a typical case of whitewashing of comic characters... +
1) The New Teen Titans (1980)
Understanders will understand. 🤔😉

Yes, I can't wait to see her calling Scott Summers a terrorist and an evil mutant again, just bc he dared to take to the streets to fight against police brutality, or maybe giving speeches about why Mutant lives matter. Krakoan Kitty is a hypocrite like all the other X-Men.
In this thread I'll try to show you why Daredevil is the best written character in comic book history, with the best stories and creative teams.
There are 6 volumes between 1964 and 2020, in addition to lots of special issues, miniseries, crossover events and graphic novels.
Merry Christmas,

I'd like now to express a few thoughts.
Between 2011 and 2019, the X-office and A-office did everything they could to convince us that Cyclops had become a villain.
Don't you still believe that? Well, let's see.

Poor Claremont and John Byrne, seeing one of their greatest creations being increasingly thrown into the trash.
And hypocrisy is the rule, right? 😏All those who tried to assassinate Scott Summers on AvX, trying to prevent his people from being reborn,
@TomTaylorMade
@davaja
Yes, and let's not forget Matt Hollingsworth's magnificent color palette and Chris Eliopoulos' letters.
This is without a doubt one of the greatest creative teams of all time.
Perfection. 💜💜🏹🏹

If powers like the US, UK, France and so on just stopped interfering in those countries, promoting wars, stealing their natural resources, imposing tough economic sanctions, they'd certainly stop immigrating.
Pinochet had BIG American and British support, so stop talking nonsense
"We all believe in you."
No Emma, you believed in him, everyone else hated him, betrayed him and abandoned him at some point, before and after his death.
Then, when he came back from the dead, he himself abandoned you, humiliated you, ignored you.

I said that once and I was called a lot of names:
it's not just her body on the ground, but it's as if her breasts, usually the same size of her head, or even bigger... it's like they're just painted.
I don't understand why they continue to draw Selina just like a fetish object.
@marvwolfman
She reminds me so much of George Pérez's Starfire. And I'd love to see THAT Starfire again in the comics. I miss her so much. 🔥❤️💔
Thank you, sir, you and Mr. Pérez are the best.
❤️🌻👏👏👏👏
@GunnerDobbins
Yes, of course, because threatening a family to take their son away so Franklin could be taken as a member of a eugenicist, segregationist supremacist cult is something that makes Scott Summers look good.
Oh, for God's sake! 🙄🤡😏
THANK YOU, Dan Slott!
Scott Summers being called a villain, monster and terrorist just because he dared to fight for civil rights, with a proactive philosophy against the oppressors so that his people would never be victims again... well, it says a lot about those who called him that. 🤔😏
