I think Black panther has proven that if you elevate these characters people will follow.

You don’t need to make Thor a woman.

I’m also not a huge fan of just renaming Falcon Captain America. Like that really changes anything.

Isn't this a storyline in the comics anyways?

To be fair it's not SJW that poisoned superhero comics. They always leant themselves to the best of us, which has always been standing up for everybody.

The cancer is Dan Didio types that hire people like King for their never smile agendas.

The entrenchment of one hit wonders and their schools.

Diamond.

The price vs the art and poor writing.

Ever since DC raped Sue Dibny it's been a constant seesaw of retarded editorial decrees at Marvel and DC as they each take a turn of "hold my beer."


It's just the way it is now.

That at least has some roots going back when they shared the Captain America book in the 70s.

And have had a few runs here and there since.

They just skipped Bucky taking the role for a year.

The logic behind it, though, was a bit dicey.

Not sure why battling cancer makes a person worthy.

I’m not saying it doesn’t make sense at all.

Yeah Captain America is a mantle

And Iron Man is a suit

But it’s also Tony Stark and the back story.
Captain America is Rogers.

Then you gotta deal with Ryan Reynolds trying to jump in and it's just a bad scene.

Except that’s what the comics were doing.

Why don't the SJW crowd start their own comics, develop characters over decades and build a fanbase then adapt those stories into movies?





Like Marvel? 



If that were true they wouldn't need to change anything.

Maybe this'll at least not make the movie a full blown comedy. Thor 3 was a straight up comedy. Every Marvel movie seems to be much more comedic than in the early stages. They'll be making her a badd as and probably won't add as much comedy to it so you can try and taker her seriously.

And I dont care what age she is, little titties and all, Natalie Portman is fine.

They also gave her cancer and made it so that every time she becomes Thor, the Chemo in her system disappears immediately. Because she couldn’t just take a week off to do her Chemo Cycle.

Stan Lee was the last defender of comics as we know it. Now a days, SJW can make Spaghetti man under the Marvel Label and people will say "Oh but it is in marvel and it happened in the comic! Spaghetti man totally one shot Tony Stark!"

All of these old characters have a certain gravitas to them. A tie in to their origin and to their powers. Now a days you have numerous knocks off that instead of existing along side the original is trying to replace them. It's a new age, Transgender Superhero in X-Men will be leader and star in a MCU movie someday.

The old characters we know are gone. Dead. When the MCU start to make money they will reboot MCU Phase 1, however they will race or gender change the players. Things will never be how it should be, it would be whatever the SJW want it to be.

What... the frick... are you talking about.

He approved of everything that they did in the movies with the exception of retroactively wishing that they had gone with a different Green Goblin mask in Spider-Man. He smiled and clapped for every change, good or bad.

Thor is a mans name, not a suit, like Batman, that can be worn by anyone and then you are ,"Thor".

You saying Stan Lee was not an SJW? Look at his comics: whole lot of left politics his entire career.

Hell, the X-Men was a pure equality platform in comic form. As was She-Hulk.


And he was around when female Thor was conceived.


And let's not forget: there have been many Thor's throughout the character's history. "Thor" is a mantle. Anybody worthy to wield Mjolnir can become Thor.


The first guy to be Thor was a regular human, not an Asgardian demi-god.
