"Joe Fridays" on Newsarama

[Babytoxie]

I so look forwrd to these every week. Not to gain insight on what's happening at Marvel, but to experience Joe Quesada going on and on about absolutely nothing and defending his idiot decisions. This week's comments on Rawhide Kid are particularly confusing.

I really enjoy these interviews. I have no issues with Joe Q, but he does say some things that just don't add up sometimes. But he also shares some things that are great and insightful. I think it is great that one of the big companies is so open.

And yes I realize it helps Marvel with free promotion, but it is not something he has any reason to be doing other than just a love for comics and it's fans. Even if some things he does don't make sense. I respect his passion and his effort.

The best bit...

NRAMA: "trevorm82" - Does the "No more mutants" apply only to those who have already been born or does it mean that women will be giving birth to less babies with the X-gene?

Cue Joe Q, mentally panicking that everyone's gonna realise that he doesn't have a fricking clue, then verbally responding with stalling tactics.

He should've said, "ask bendis I don't know $h!T!"

Nothing on Thor, even though he was asked...

I don't know about that. Rawhide Kid would probably give it to him real good.

It happened when Marvel mistakenly figured he was a forgettable-enough character that could be altered in such a way that would get media attention, but hopefully wouldn't confuse many fans or bother a majority of the other comic readers who had never heard of him in the first place. Of course, there had been nothing in his prior appearances to suggest he was ***. JQ apparently seems to think that they did something revolutionary by making the Rawhide Kid ***, but the miniseries was full of cheap humor and stereotypes. If he's ***, then fine, but don't use it to make stupid jokes. Absolute crap from the house of ideas.

You gotta love those Brokeback mountain references he used.

Its that JQ is a Homo himself so since Northstar was being used in the Xmen he needed a new character to turn ***.
