>Are there plans to bring more diversity to the two main X-Men books? In the two teams, Storm is the only character of color and there isn’t any confirmed LGBT representation [aside from Iceman], which seems a stark contrast to Marvel’s recent diversity push and the X-Men’s own history of being one of the most inclusive teams in comics.
>Daniel Ketchum: When we were brewing “X-Men Blue” and “X-Men Gold,” we were purposefully modeling the teams after the original five X-Men and the All-New, All-Different X-Men. We definitely struggled with the fact that those rosters aren’t representative of Marvel today, so one of the aims was to make sure that we placed extra emphasis on diversity amongst the other team books, as well as finding (also, making) opportunities to fill out the supporting casts of the main titles with diverse characters. >Also, can we talk about how there are maybe more gay characters in the main casts of X-Men titles than ever before? Iceman, Iceman (I count them separately because we are presenting very different gay narratives with each of them), Benjamin Deeds, Bling and a character that we have not yet discussed… cbr.com/x-position-resurrxion-x-men-editors/
Place your bets! Are Kitty and Rachel finally coming out? Is Ororo settling down with Yukio? Did Colossus take something from his Ultimate counterpart? Anything is possible in the craaazy world of Marvel!
>Storm is the only character of color Nightcrawler is fucking blue, you racist pricks.
Julian Lopez
STOP IT
Nolan Bailey
Thank goodness, I was afraid pulling a rebirth would mean they wouldn't be progressive and give a voice to the oppressed minorities like women and the lbtqia+
Anthony Brooks
>gay people are 2% of the population >ONE PERSON ISN'T ENOUGH
What is the deal with this? Why does fiction need to over represent reality?
Angel James
>make mine marvel is literally nothing changes except Stark and Banner are back diminishing CW2 even more >still pushing SJW shit This is what I get for giving them the benefit of doubt. Hell! I'll even admit I slightly got my hopes up.
Jeremiah Watson
Northstar. You know, the X-man that was gay before Iceman/Iceman was retconned to be and before Benjamin and Bling were ever created?
Jayden Mitchell
I've been thinking, Wolverine looks really out of place. I mean you have vibrant costumes all around, and then there's that 5'3 guy in a trenchcoat.
Dylan Torres
Nice study you got there showing exactly the % of gay people in Marvel, user.
Connor Morris
And here it goes the Marvel's "return to the basics for the X-Men blah-blah". The shame shit all over again. I thought there was still some hope for change, but really fuck you NuMarvel. And this is a definitive goodbye this time.
Juan Miller
He's saying they're not representative of Marvel today, not the real world. A universe where muscular men have been running around in tights for the past 15 years would obviously create a society with more gays than ours.
Lincoln Miller
Colossus entered Kitty's poisoned vagina so he will turn gay.
Asher Watson
> fiction has to represent reality with accuracy or it triggers my autism
how do you even read capeshit?
Jaxon Parker
>can we talk about Can we please stop doing this?
Oliver Edwards
> Queer
I honestly can't fucking stand this term or any other super special snow flake language the left has adopted. Literally why the fuck can't you just use gay? I'M GENDER QUEER AND ASKED TO BE REFERRED TO AS THEY/THEM. Fuck off with this made up bullshit.
Chase Howard
How is this not a "return to the basics for the X-men"? The X-men have been the Gay Brigade since Claremont wrote every girl as bi.
Alexander Williams
again?
Jackson Baker
Claremont did it out of pure fetishism tho. I'm not seeing Kitty in bondage gear or Rachel in a diaper anywhere.
Carter Lopez
>people spend a decade calling gays "queer" as an insult >they decide to turn it into a term of endearment like the blacks did with nigga >WTF STOP CALLING YOURSELVES QUEER, YOU QUEERS! wew lad
Carter Long
Oh fuck off, there are more trannies in the entire world than redheads but you've never complained once in your life about the overrepresentation of ginger girls in comics because you don't actually care about population sizes and are just looking for a seemingly 'objective' reason to bitch about faggots.
Evan Bailey
>more diversity pushing Get ready for more man hating and overall fucking shit stories
Luke Gutierrez
Because it doesn't just mean gay, smart guy.
Doesn't change the fact that it's fucking weird that they use it since it literally sounds like an insult every time.
Benjamin Howard
Nightcrawler
Camden Moore
Sup Forumsmblr
Legitmately though why do you need 5 gay people on one team? At some point it becomes satire.
Andrew Jackson
Woooo representation instead of character
who cares
Asher Watson
You'll be back. All you Marvelfags always come back.
David Carter
>there's plenty of gay mutants already >they won't be used >their just going to turn another mutant gay out of nowhere
Do X-writers in general hate characters from other X-writers?
Thomas Williams
What's Magik up to? Is she going to steal someone else and fuck off to her dimension?
Jack Ross
That goes for all capereaders in general.
Isaac Carter
Probably won't be someone that makes sense, like Storm.
Connor Green
It's the same shit that Marvel is pushing down to our throats the last 3 years. It's not about the X-Men, it's not about write some good X-stories, it's about the same pandering again and again. Instead to hear something about the plot, about the adventures etc, the first thing that came out it's the same "look how progressive we are". This is just another clue that nothing will change with Marvel's "rebirth". Same pandering, same stupid marketing gimmicks.
Samuel Green
yes
Christian Gomez
>Storm and Rachel are not bisexuals Huh?
Jaxson Price
Who cares about the stories, villains, team dynamics, art, and overall tone of the series. The most important thing is adding more gay characters. That's the ticket!
Chase Murphy
I think the odds are pretty good that it won't be a guy
Aiden Foster
>s...sure Marvel is bad but everyone else is bad too! Pls no bully!
Pathetic.
Charles Robinson
If they want the lesbian audience that fucking much why don't they revive Phyla and put her and Moondragon in a book? They can even have the Guardians of the Galaxy appearings from time to time. Fucking Marvel.
Samuel Lopez
yeah, almost like having a whole team of mutants!
... wait.
Colton Stewart
Who honestly had faith this would be any good? The moment they got Guggenheim to write was the moment this shit was doom.
Liam Diaz
It's actually more like 10%
Austin Adams
who touched you when you were little, user?
Juan Bennett
Gayvengers is a 2018 book. Them, Wiccan and Hulkling, Northstar, Stryker, Karma, Lightspeed.
Rachel Gray will be one, the other 4 faggots are you.
Jason Lewis
It's Guggenheim, so I trust him enough to know it will be Rachel.
Hunter Taylor
Dan Slott.
Juan Parker
God no, just leave him alone and pair him with the movie Angeldust!
Carter Long
>out of spider-man >goes onto write gayvengers You got a bright future in the merchandising business, user.
Jaxon Butler
Having a gay on the team won't suddenly make the book any worse. Likewise, having every character be straight wouldn't suddenly make Guggenheim's writing not dog shit.
It was going to be shit even if every issue devoted a scene to praising Trump and used antifa as the main villains for every arc.
Kevin Stewart
I do wonder what happened to Johns' Morlocks. Probably got peanut-farted to death.
Aiden Ramirez
Who said he was out of Spider-Man?
Jacob Ramirez
What did he write before?
Ryan Moore
Bendis. He's also killing Peter btw.
Jason Phillips
Slott invented Spider-Man and is Marvel's top seller.
James Perry
The problem is that the only tging that Marvel is interested about, it's not the stories's quality, but "who is the next one that we will turn gay". That's the announcement that they are more excited to reveal.
Evan Bailey
And that's exactly why they're killing him off.
I hope you're all prepared for a new facet in the life of Anna Marie Marconi as the All New! All Diverse! Spider-Man! Coming to you next summer, true believer!
Josiah Powell
Does there always have to be a black/gay/mentally disabled person in every group of comic heroes? Is it like a law of some sort?
Nicholas Thompson
Anole? Northstar? (Is Striker a mutant or a mutate?) Some other established character who could join the team without it having to have their whole backstory changed? Or is that just way too easy?
Jack Lee
They're the new token black characters in comics.
John Lewis
Why does the media treat someone being gay as a big reveal instead of just being a character trait?
Liam Adams
Fantastic Four has 3 straight white people and a straight Jew made out of rocks and it was canceled in favor of a book about a Gypsy running around in stolen armor.
Kayden Reed
Welcome to marvel!
Brandon Sanders
The interviewer asked them about the lack of LGBT representation. The editor then responded "uhhh, d-don't worry, there's totally going to be a gay person added to the team at some point."
Nowhere does it say someone is getting turned gay, and he wasn't the one that brought it up. For all we know, all this means is that Northstar is going to cameo in an arc at some point down the line.
Sebastian Evans
Because it wins them moral points for being political correct and progressive. This is how cucked burgers are.
Logan Parker
Magik is finally going to steal Kitty from Peter
Christian Sanchez
>Not the other way around
Carson Morris
She already stole a lot of jizz from my balls.
Adrian Sullivan
Because it's a marketing bait. Playing the "progressive" card, it's turned to be a free advertisement.
Jeremiah Ramirez
its going to be kitty
Henry Jenkins
Maybe Anole and Rockslide will actually get to be characters again.
Eli Butler
Underrated
>New queer Purr shipbait, I tell you
Jason Fisher
>Playing the "progressive" card, it's turned to be a free advertisement. Which has never turned out as profits.
Caleb Parker
Gen X is the book for all those people who are younger than Kitty.
Xavier Young
>no kitty, you're gay This is payback, Bendis.
Carson Johnson
Young X-Men X-Men X-Tinction Agenda (Secret Wars) Wolverine Origins video game The Flash Squadron Sinister
Dude is the Anti-Bendis in that he's actually working in Hollywood and cares about continuity. Lot of people hate him because he writes for Arrow though.
Benjamin Bennett
Marvel is cancer
Ryan Lee
>Comic book writer >Is a bald fat guy
Carson Johnson
>he writes for Arrow No wonder he has such a bad reputation around here.
Nathan Perry
DEVILISH E V I L I S H
Bentley Gutierrez
I want you to look at this cover and tell me where Anole and rockslide are on it or any of the ugly mutants.
Colton Ross
>Hope kek
Jayden Wright
I see Rockslide's hand.
Cameron Lewis
The pozzing continues.
Nathaniel Scott
>or any of the ugly mutants. Eyesgirl is disgusting.
Ryder Kelly
>Eye Guy >Transonic >Skin
Zachary Williams
Was this before Mystique was revealed? Or is it only about Blue & Gold?
Jeremiah Reyes
Why are you guys freaking out we all know it will be Rachel, we have known this since Claremont. Still Illyana x Kitty is best ship
thats absolutely retarded logic, muscular men have been running around in tights in america since before comics were a thing and we only have 2% gays
Ryan Robinson
It's just plastered with previous X-Kids teams. I see New Mutants, Generation X, New X-Men, Generation Hope, and the WatX kids.
Daniel Gray
Actually, Mutants are considered freaks of nature and homosexuals are literally freaks of nature, so I say it's a good comparison.
Xavier Ortiz
Companies aren't turning characters ginger or marketing comics starring gingers for gingers sake you stupid idiot. Your argument makes 0 sense when applied to reality.
Ethan Brooks
why does fucking EVERYTHING with Marvel have to involve a press release about how goddamn diverse they are I'm dropping this shit company, I can't stand it anymore.
I'm all for equality and proper representation for minority groups but jesus fucking christ, when it's every other day it just reads as "HEY PR PEOPLE LOOK AT USSSSSSSS"
Joseph Flores
>Implying she won't finally make her dream come true! user, seriously!!!
Adrian Ross
Homosexuality isn't uncommon in nature.
Isaac Martinez
>why does fucking EVERYTHING with Marvel have to involve a press release about how goddamn diverse they are This isn't a press release. It's an interview where the interviewer was the one that asked the question.
Easton Peterson
he is a shitty writer and writes all the worst episodes of LoT, Arrow, and Flash
