people have been asking me where to start reading siryn and i'm so thrilled people wanna learn more about her. i hope you guys love her too :') i will say her story gets a tw for alcoholism bc it deals with those themes
we've finally made it.....after years at the bottom of the trenches we've finally made it to "why does EVERYONE like cyclops?" tweets. u cant fool me i remember standing alone.
I honestly don’t know why people like Cyclops so much.
Don’t get me wrong, he is cool and all, but I have always found him to be kinda boring even in the comics.
I did like James Marsden as Cyclops but even then, Fox barely gave him anything to do in those movies.
"straightbait" and its a marvel movie made by disney feat. the main couple of the thor trilogy....you are all setting yourself up for disappointment and i dont know what to tell yall bc 😭
Its so funny to see ppl who never read anything other than xmen (coughs @ that headwriter) assume steve is just a government tool who cant disobey orders when anyone who has read a captain america run ever knows he constantly stands up to and against the government 😭
charles xavier and barbara gordon were the most recognizable wheelchair users in comics for yeeeears and now they're both walking again 💀 shit fucking sucks dude
Krakoa must be so embarrassing in universe now like. This big fanfare about making a mutant nation and having the gala and all these statements and its over like 3 years later or something and they go back to new york like "heyyyy"💀
"batman is a bad superhero because he doesn't use his money responsibly hehe i am smart" ok jessica tell me....do you want to read a comic book about bruce's tax returns. does that sound fun to you.
The way that Amber Heard and Angelina Jolie have a history of activism involving standing up for women's rights. They are hated for speaking out about the abuse that they endured by men whose number 1 support are women themselves.

reminder that the two people natasha romanoff loved the most dusted and she gave her life so they could have theirs back, even if she didn't get to be in it anymore
A 5-issue ‘TVA’ comic series is in the works from writer Katharyn Blair and artist Pere Perez.
The series follows a band of universe displaced heroes, including Spider-Gwen and Captain Carter, who must monitor and regulate all timelines for the TVA.
i’m guessing that the quotes are mad ass comic stans (as usual). Wanda was a D-List character before Elizabeth made her A-List on a global level, increasing her popularity in other media. The proof is in the pudding whether y’all want to admit it or not
for the last fucking time: romania is not romani these are two separate things. romania is a country where romanian people are from. romani is a racial identity for europes largest ethnic minority who were enslaved for decades and still discriminated against today. doom is romani
@cosmiczorel
"black cat is right she'd want us to go on" has felicia ever even met her hadjsfasd. this is going exactly as i thought it would and i mean that in the worst way. why tf does he have her mask
this is exactly what i was talking ab where comics is like the one medium where people just lie and everyone believes it bc no one wants to read 😭😭 it's so funny to me that this is like. just every day on comics twt. today its batwoman and the question being edited as natwanda.
taking away oracle from her was the worst thing they could have done for her character. beyond being the rare case of disability rep in capeshit, she had MASSIVE influence across the entire DC landscape. she wasnt just a batman ally --she was EVERYONE's ally even the league+
@tarkinlego
i think its a tony variant too but it bugs me since doctor doom is a romani man's mantle and it has no ties to tony. doom's origins are pretty important imo?
this is non negotiable i will block u. roma actors have stated why its so important to cast them in their own roles + as a casting director, your job is to open the casting call to those it fits, in this case, romani men. the actors exist, white people keep stealing their roles.
Ppl who defend the mcu's every decision w "its an adaptation!!" dont get that the mcu affects the comics too like...the maximoffs' jewish heritage was literally retconned out in response to the mcu not having Magneto but ok...go after people worried about losing their rep.
Jean is honestly so funny because every time she gets sick of scotts shit she just dies and has adventures in godhood like babe...its not the 60s anymore its socially acceptable to get a divorce.
I hate when ppl take comic book genre conventions too seriously like "batman has children work for him!!" it rly isnt that deep. Kids read comics too...they want to read child chars. If the "dangerous situations" in comics r too offputting for u...dont read capeshit 😭
no they were created because stan lee didnt want to make more origin stories for heroes and went "yeah they were born with powers". chris claremont made them an allegory for oppressed groups --you know, the guy who made them everything they are? fake nerd boys smh
the thing about andrew garfield's peter that's so good is like he /gets/ peter's quips. they're not jokes to be funny...he's literally bullying whoever he's fighting ajsndfkma. "oh no small knives" is like....perfect delivery
Robert Downey Jr has earned around $500M - $600M from the MCU so far.
He will now also get perks that include private jet travel, dedicated security and a whole “trailer encampment.”

like. nwh spoilers but the jokes between the peters were actually funny because they relied on things that the audience can have fun with and the actors' charisma. vs the whedon brand quips like "scooby doo this shit" that is so awful asjdnfasdf.
posting the wikipedia entry bc i am astounded at how many of u "comic fans" do not know what fridging actually is as if this is not a longrunning and legitimate critique that changed the discussion of how women in comics are treated. its a quick read i know u can do it
the way live action comics adaptations hate comics is why projects like spiderverse that celebrate and love the characters and medium will always be superior.
Michael douglas is in the same series as a superhero so it feels 100% like more corporate misogyny lmao. Women fr have an expiration date of 40 in hollywood 💀
its literally insane how little everyone involved cared about this character or her story because why is spider-man front and center of the cover of story about kamala's death and not...her parents? killed off a teenage brown girl for manpain ur spirits are so ugly
Get to know Peggy Carter—from her time as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, to the newest version of her character as the Super-Soldier Serum-enhanced Captain Carter. 💥 Listen as we dive in on a new episode of the
#WomenOfMarvel
podcast:
G willow wilson explained the thought process behind her powers because everything about the creation of kamala was done with love and care. The MCU changes shit w 0 care to be stupider for a cash grab. What does this add to her character? Nothing. Massive downgrade
#MsMarvel
’s death in the comics WILL lead to Kamala returning as a Mutant with Hard Light powers for MCU synergy.
While the execution is a mockery to her character and should’ve happened in a Ms. Marvel title, I prefer her MCU powers. Thoughts?
I think its funny marvel comics had to cut back on events at one point bc we all had event fatigue and now ppl just have mcu fatigue 😭 congrats to the mcu for finding a way to replicate the worst parts of the comic reading experience
This was the first domino that fell for me to realize something was off about him bc the shit he said afterward was so 😭 ancient lore...u had to be there
"what about the men who are fridged" is so funny cause what comics are you reading where a woman finds her dead boyfriend in a refrigerator. what comics are you reading where this scenario happens often i'd like to know
i love how netflix was so accessible it actually curbed piracy for a moment and now we're all just gonna pirate everything again cause they charge up the ass to share an account and the service isnt even that good anymore to be making these demands
the demutantification of franklin richards was the craziest one cause it wasnt even an mcu mandated change and it wasnt like franklin was hanging out with the xmen ever. dan slott just felt like doing that.
the wonder woman discourse is so insane to me because like. everyone's acting like fucking /wonder woman/ is the gotg which needed the films to become popular at all. in reality....ppl were begging for theatrical ww for years bc shes a pop culture ICON.
People rly hate gfs in superhero movies/shows who just. Want to spend time w their bf and not be lied to like...normal ppl...in relationships would want...like im sorry it WOULD be hard being the civilian love interest of a superhero and thats the point that story is telling!!
The thing i hate about comics is that they will always revert back to the status quo no matter how much said status quo is a step back for that characters development and narrative. whether thats a ship, a job the char has, or a new identity --its going back no matter what
"SHES 22" eah ok have u heard of jokes....and even if she is 22.......have u seen how young the rest r like billy and tommy and america aasjdnfkmas. come on now yall. also yelena??? why r yall bringing up yelena that lady is not on the young avengers??? yall know who im talkin ab
i think alot about how comics as an industry and superheroes as a concept within them are the product of poor jewish men in wwII america who sat down and said "what if someone here actually fought FOR us because right now no one is. what if people actually fought for whats right"
this is just proof you guys dont listen or read about the terms you cry about because fridging was never "women cant die". you're mad at a version of shit that doesn't exist instead of reading what this trope actually is. u can write women dying without doing this 🤗
"Fridging" is possibly the worst term ever coined because there csn never be a death of a female character in a comic eithout people screeching that its fridging
this ad was so striking to me even as a kid. like the metaphor of it could not have been clearer and thats why i liked the Global feeling of mutants it was so hard hitting for that metaphor imo
idk i always liked characters like franklin as mutants because it really served the narrative of "mutants are everywhere" really fucking well to have a character who isnt an x character and is the child of other heroes also be a mutant.
greg smallwood defending predators and villifying women who came forward as if some of those predators didnt go after minors and hold careers over womens heads.
when i was targeted by a predator in the industry and other women told me "it will happen again. it happens."
Grace Jabbari, the woman who accused Jonathan Majors of domestic violence, will reportedly soon be charged with assault, according to The Messenger.
The charge follows a counter-complaint filed against her by Majors back in June.
