>Marvel Comics is teaming up with Chinese internet giant NetEase to create new Chinese superheroes to join the Marvel Universe.
>The agreement will also see 12 Marvel comics including Spider-Man, Captain America, and Guardians of the Galaxy become officially available on NetEase’s comics platform.
>The deal was announced by Disney China and NetEase in Shanghai on Friday and confirmed on the official Marvel and NetEase Comics social media accounts.
>Chinese comic book artist “Keng,” Zhou Liefen (周烈焚), and playwright Shui Zhu (水珠) are already working on creating the new characters, according to Chinese entertainment news site Mtime.
>Disney and Marvel are already hugely popular in China and any new intellectual property created could feasibly end up feeding future Marvel movies.
>In May last year, Joe and Anthony Russo, the directing duo behind Marvel Studios’ blockbuster Captain America franchise, signed on with a Chinese production firm to create an original Chinese superhero trilogy.
>Then, in September last year, Marvel Comics great Stan Lee announced he was entering the Chinese film market by co-creating a new superhero movie character, Monkey Master.
>The NetEase deal marks the first official project to create Chinese superheroes for the Marvel Universe.
Look just because theyre Chinese doesnt mean they have to look like weeb shit
David Brown
Is this RWBY
Aiden Jackson
Fuck off Marvel we are full
Matthew Russell
Whatever happened to Coldmoon and Dragonfire?
They were Korean heroes
Anthony Williams
Why does every Chinese attempt at a superhero end up looking like something out of an MMO?
Hudson Gomez
The have to be if they want the chinese fanboys to like them
Ian Foster
Or White Fox?
Bentley Flores
Didn't this already happen once?
Samuel Richardson
Whatever happened to that Korean Fox or whatever? She was some sort of superspy, her comic was only available digitally.
Nicholas Morris
Marvel is getting desperate huh?
Josiah Powell
Im surprised they didnt go Kamen Rider or something.
Lucas Collins
Based marvel
Take notes DC you fucking retards
Lucas Garcia
Marvel is trying too hard with those designs.
Connor Sanchez
Will Xorn be banned from appearing in their platform due to being Tibetan?
Noah Perry
I suspect we'll hear something about this at D23 in a few days. Speaking of D23, does anyone know if they livestream the panels like SW Celebration?
Blake Collins
We can hope
The least we'll get is minute by minute blog posts and bootleg recordings
Josiah Cook
Yeah, DC fucked up big time. Johns it's too American focused
Joshua Morales
>Chinese comic book artist “Keng,” Zhou Liefen (周烈焚), and playwright Shui Zhu (水珠) are already working on creating the new characters,
My friend
Thomas Campbell
here's your (You)
Luke Jackson
God, I like her. She's Black Cat for when we can't use Black Cat.
Just, why do they make the characters so generic? Guy with sword? That X-Men Destiny Asian girl looked more unique than these guys.
Ian Sanders
>wanting weeb shit in your comics No thanks.
Nolan Hill
Chink Super Man is a hundred times more interesting than those edgelord MMO characters.
Christopher Lee
... user...
Nathan Nguyen
Don't be stupid.
Of course.
Angel Cook
Will they include existing Chinese heroes as well? Would be a shame to ignore all of them.
Joshua Miller
They were Chinese
William Garcia
She was in Contest of Champions, and then showed up in a CWII side-story.
Chase Thompson
Like, some of those guys look awesome. Why not push them? Generic sword guy is so...lame.
John Anderson
>working with china >who just passed a law to ban LGBT stuff in media Why does the left allow anti-gay stuff when non whites do it?
Zachary Flores
Because money is more important than morals and values.
Leo Cox
>but muh cancelled comic no one read sad
based marvel knows what they're doing and with based Disney behind it you can expect movie announcements after the comics come out
meanwhile where's DC asian superhero movie
oh that's right they need an asian superhero for that
John Thomas
I'd throw the Immortal Weapons in there
Josiah Young
Based most perfect hero
Jordan Smith
>left
Marvel isn't left you dumbass, every comic they have is neoliberal crap.
Eli Jones
>Superheroes meant to appeal to asians and otaku. >Not Japanese
You had one job Marvel.
Christopher Price
They already have a chinese superman and it's better than the entire marv... oh you know and were baiting
Joshua Miller
>thinking Chinese care about "filthy Korean dogs" It's like you know nothing of asians.
Michael Robinson
Chinks only care about self-insert generic guys.
Hunter Torres
White Fox still appears every now and then.
Adam Turner
>What is New-Superman Atleast he's being integrated into the superman books. These new characters won't be in any form of decent crossover except for once to introduce them, then they'll just be left alone in china
John Nelson
Who do you think makes those?
Luke Ortiz
She also showed up in one of the Monsters Unleashed tie-ins. She's basically the default "Korean" hero for when a hero needs to do something in Korea for whatever reason, in the same way that Sabra is for Israel.
Adam Gutierrez
To answer both Questions China is autistic as fuck when it comes to how they are portrayed in Media even when it's not for them/ portrays them as heroic, by getting Chinese approved Chinese artists to create Shitty Chinese heroes that the council approves of Marvel can sell their stuff in China that has a huge market for it making it worth pissing off their SJW writers artists and staff.
Nathan Phillips
New Super-Man, who they made 14 months ago
Jaxson Davis
Holy shit, the shills are out in full force today.
Colton Murphy
Monkey King is actually one of the characters in the upcoming Marvel MOBA.
Alexander Taylor
Is that why they love American celebrities so much?
Daniel Nguyen
Marvel only cares about money, not politics. You're conflating Marvel pushing leftist shit because they thought it would sell to the millenials with them pushing leftist shit because they actually cared about it.
Remember that the person in charge of Marvel is Ike Perlmutter.
Julian Jenkins
>movie stay there this time newfag
Bentley Reed
Cool. Here's hoping they'll keep some of those existing characters around.
Noah King
Get fucking chenbo and ill buy everything.
Jose Mitchell
Because they wuz Qings and shit
Aaron Scott
I guess they were made for a game and Marvel just shoved them into Point One first to make sure they had the rights.
Jayden Wilson
The Wu a best.
Juan Cooper
Short pink haired Asian She actually looks like a dyke
