Again, I agree that Brevoort needs to leave for the trust to return completely, but until that happens, I'm willing to meet Cebulski halfway.

Even if the new toothless characters aren't going away, I bet we won't see the established guys being bastardized anymore. That's a start. As long as they don't shove pointless propaganda down our throat by using name-stealers as their mouthpieces, I can consider reading their stuff again.

If this is the case then once again capitalism prevails!

And thank God for that.

That second Brevoort tweet... wow. Just wow.

Sad to say it's not the first reaction towards the overhaul like that, that I've seen. The worst thing is that they believe it, and they'll stew on it, and they'll refuse to acknowledge that it's not hatred of strong women (because every female Marvel character not on that list was a wilting daisy, right?) but hatred of bad writing and naked political polemic.

I've stated form the beginning I don't have a problem with political characters or minority characters or social justice stuff, it's when it is forced and done so just for the sake of pandering. But don't tell ParisDean that, he will assume I'm just a racist. And yes I assumed his gender.

When did I ever assume you are a racist?

If you have a problem with me then send me a direct message and we'll handle it that way instead of this passive-aggressive nonsense you're pulling here.

I'll never understand alternate versions of established characters.

Boom, character X is now an ethnic minority.
Boom, character y is now gender swapped.

With all the resources at their disposal just establish a new character that fits the purpose.

You got it! PM sent.

Geez, I hope this doesn't mean re-numbering series back to 1 again. Don't start new series, get rid of some. There's too many for one character or group.

Marvel is renumbering to #1 again.
