Does Sup Forums like Moon Girl?

According to sales, next to nobody likes Moon Girl.

No.

>that punisher skull top left
Never noticed that before.

Another black girl created by non-blacks, so she's just a generic fuck who's too scared to push boundaries or act like a real person? No.

she's #WOKE!!!

she's a hardcore #milkshakedrinker!!!

LOVE HER! LOVE!!!

HE

I hardly know a thing about her. There's nothing in the appeal to make me want to change that.

She's shit and needs to die (painfully and permanently)

/thread

Is she the right age for cute?

Someone post the page where she gets upset that her teacher isn't oppressing her.

No

I never read her
all I know is her book sells very little, but some kind of deal for little kids makes it profitable, the same goes for squirrel girl (I am not American)

I think it looks strange how Marvel suddenly decided to make 2 of their smartest heros young black girls. Only one wouldnt have been weird, but too is kind of strange.

She really didn't click with me, but I can see why other people like her so much.

Hell no

No.
I absolutely hate Moongirl.
"Small child is the smartest person on Earth" is fine in a comedy setting like Dexter's Lab or Jimmy Nuetron or some shit, but not in a cape book. In this setting it's just obnoxious.

Especially when people like Doom and Richards are running around.

Wrong spunky young hyper-intelligent black female. I know, it's confusing that Marvel has so many all of a sudden.

This gave me cancer.

Do you genuinely think only blacks should write black characters?

You can't /thread your own posts, that's the same as liking your own comment. It's just pathetic.

I think Iron Heart is actually an adult. Unless she's a kid inside an adult sized robot suit. I've only seen her in crossovers.

>black
>female

you already knew the answer to this and just wanted an excuse to incite more shitpost, didn't you?

Jeebus

>I'm totally going to be Tony Stark
So when is she going to kill Tony and steal his identity then?

Bendis is working on it.

I'd like to ruin her capacity to sit on anything thinner than a grapefruit, if that's what you're asking.

Nope! but I don't hate her neither... although I hate that better characters with better sales were canceled.

Tony's a drunk hologram right now, so it wouldn't require much effort at this point.

She was in university when she stole the parts she needed to build her own Ironman suit.

She's alright for an all ages book. Her book is pretty cute.

>Black character.
>Steals shit.

Probably could have made a better impression on what few Devil Dinosaur fans there are by not starting the book by killing off Moon Boy.

>I'm totally going to be Tony Stark.
And then she went on to commit the more brazen and daring act of identity theft the world will ever know.

Although she was 16 when she was in university. Funny how shes supposed to be a super prodigy but talks like a horrid Millenial/Chip Zdarsky type character.

She honestly could have been a great character, just like Riri Williams.

However, that requires taking chances and making an assload of mistakes compared to the small few successes most superheroes achieve throughout their life span.

Devil Dinosaur already killed Moonboy, though.

So when is her descent into alcoholism?

>Making fun of Chip Zdarsky
D&C, stop shitting all over Chip Zdarsky. It endlessly annoys me and makes me want to block you on Youtube and twitter.

I remember skimming trough a couple of issues of her series, they weren't horrible, but they weren't particularly interesting either, so i'm indifferent towards her character.

I wouldn't mind her if Marvel didn't obnoxiously shill her as THE SMARTEST, YES, EVEN SMARTER THAN REED, DEAL WITH IT FANBOYS and if she stayed in her own all ages book where she can make boxing gloves on springs that can punch out the Hulk and rocket boots or whatever else, without directly affecting any other mainline books.

As it is, the push behind making a little black girl the smartest character, smarter than all of those other smart characters, was pure tell-don't-show bullshit that Marvel expects us to swallow just because she's a little black girl.
Shoving her into so many books and events where she's written like shit just makes that even more obnoxious, because she's only being shoved into all of these dumb events so they can show off how smart she is to everyone who isn't reading her solo (which is everyone because those sales are fucking abysmal).

ffs, characters like Moon Girl have no business showing up as a guest star in a Venom book of all things.

No, she's too full of herself and it's not worth reading.

I mean, zdarsky tries really hard, god bless him. But comedy is not about trying.

Would you read Moon Girl if they dropped all the pretenses and just had her be a preteen super villain?

>Doing science
Smartest character in the Marvel universe ladies and gentlemen.

Remember when marvel made a list of the top 5 smartest characters in their world, and all of them were minority women from New York?

No.

Ooooh! I'd actually like to see that. Someone should post it and feed the rage.

She talks a lot of shit.
apparently she's supposed to be THE smartest person in the Marvel Universe. The problem is that she flaunts this title while giving lectures on how great she is and then doesn't do anything remotely interesting or groundbreaking.
She's apparently smarter than Reed Richard, Amadeus Cho and Tony Stark. So what are her actual accomplishments?

Fair point, but I should have specified that my liking for Zdarsky is mostly because of his flawless shitposting on the internet.

I wish I had taken a screen cap of Zdarsky and Ellis shitposting on some random image board.

Actually, yes. The idea of a pre-teen supergenius with delusions of grandeur who wants to remake the world in her own image because she thinks she's smarter than everyone else is a premise that has some solid weight to it. That's not even counting the fact that she can body swap with a giant red mutant T-Rex.

No, but I do remember the one they released as part of their official "top 10" videos where they bumped Reed down to #2 just to showcase Lunella in the top spot. Given the state of modern Marvel, I can completely believe that they'd make another one where the entire list is dominated by minority girls from NYC. Isn't that a thing in Unstoppable Wasp?

no

>I'll look at you any way I like boy
>boy
Das racist

>So what are her actual accomplishments?

Being young and black and a girl.

I don't nose.

Never read anything she's in. When she debuted, I was told she's suppose to be the smartest, which just seems lazy.

Yes, I know. God, I love Warren Ellis.

>So what are her actual accomplishments?
She built a device to monitor the terrigan cloud, made several robot duplicates, built an interdimesional space ship, and made a life-sized Triceratops robot out of legos.

That's not even approaching Jimmy Neutron levels of child genius. Get back to me when she invents a cheese ray.

>my sole motivator is spite. if no one will actually wrong me, I have to invent wrongs to feel justified

That's a villain's origin story right there.

Didn't she invent a machine that converted the Terrigan Cloud into a harmless substance?

>but some kind of deal for little kids makes it profitable

I heard she sells well at those book fairs they have at elementary schools, but those sales aren't counted in the comic sales because it's not from a comic book shop which is why her sales numbers look so low, but they haven't canceled her series.

See, what little I read of her comic seemed to imply that while she was smart, she was too full of herself to be effective about it. Like, they seemed to be trying to balance her with flaws.

Every crossover I see of her seems hellbent on throwing any of that out the window for "world's smartest person is a little black girl what you got a problem with that?"

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's definitely the impression one gets in passing.

My first impression of her was complete garbage, it seemed like someone took two seconds to think her up. That being said I've only ever read her in crossovers and honestly she seemed ok. If her solo book gets a writer I enjoy I might actually pick up her book

I think that was Forge but she did redesigned his machine to be more compact.

Actually it sounds like your average Sup Forums poster.

>Maybe I'm wrong, but that's definitely the impression one gets in passing.

Or by reading America, where Moon Girl gives a lecture saying that the rules shouldn't apply to special people like her.

As if "smartest person in the universe" isn't a fucking revolving door spitting out a new a sap every other comic.

The bare concept of having a character that is a) black and b) smart says nothing because those are characteristics that you're born with.

I don't know, i haven't read it. Should I?
Keep in mind i'm not a SJW but only slightly racist like most human beings. I've no problem with black characters but find moments like kinda cringe, tell me what are the good things about it and i might consider it.

That moment isn't in this comic, that's from something else.

A SIMILAR moment happens but from my recollection it read more like "you can't do this thing because you are a child no matter how genius you are", and I don't recall it being a race thing. It was obnoxious anyway because it required great leaps of disbelief to think anyone let alone a teacher would believe something so wrong let alone teach it (qualifier: i don't remember what it was but I remember it being dumb as hell). But no, it wasn't a race thing. Pretty sure.

I don't remember anything of the mainline comic being about race, really, but I could be wrong, and I didn't get very far because what I saw in storytimes didn't convince me to give it money.

It's this gleeful vampiric relationship to the suffering of older generations that's so shameful. Apparently I'm supposed to be cheering on this despicable person? She's got her own personal victimhood that she wears on her sleeve wherever she goes and that's her motivation? Pretend the world beats you down so you can rub it in their faces.

Marvel you are lost in the fucking thicket of generation Z's fee fees. And generations will be looking back at this period and crowning it the epitome of cringe. This shit makes me cringe harder than Millar. This shit makes me cringe harder than Greg Land tracing porn in his books. This shit is another level.

Ok, i'll read online (for free) a couple issues to test the waters.

Again, it's worth pointing out that that sequence is not from this comic.

>"Tell me im going to suck at life because im black and a girl"
>"No why would i do that as you female teacher"
>...
>"what"
...
>"fine you'll never be anything in life"
>YOU BITCH"

jesus who wrote this tripe

I somewhat suspect it's an edit but... I honestly cannot be sure.

Now it's was written by Brian Micheal Bendis. This is not an edit.I thought it was too, till I bought the issue.

>Implying the average poster here wouldn't become a supervillain if given powers

>Bendis
Fucking really? Ha. Well, memes aside that actually kind of improves my opinion of it a bit. I mean it makes the character seem like a petty bitch but credit where it's due, the writer seems to be aware of it.

Jesus... Just imagine for a sec. The Cheese Ray is HORRIFYING. That the science for that device exists. It can turn anything into Cheese. Think about it. Is it permanent? Does it work on living tissue? Can it be set to other objects besides cheese? If used on a person does the person still percieve its surroundings? Its a fucking alchemy laser and Jimmy invented it JUST TO SEE IF HE COULD/FOR THE LULZ! And thats not even the fucking scariest thing he has ever invented. There is a list a mile wide and I will leave it to you all to list examples as I have a hard time even picking even one but Moon Gurl thinks shes hot shit because she made robot duplicates? Really!?

It would depend on the setup but Lunella would definitely work better as a villain.

I've read the first couple TPBs and I enjoyed them. They aren't earth shattering story-telling, but they are enjoyable comics. Modern cape comics could use more like Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.

Her other disguise is Riri

Alright I'm back. It was surprisingly good, albeit its second chapter not as interesting the first due the T-Rex chase scene taking many pages.

From what i've read i think it'd be a great comic to gift to a daughter or a little to teenager sister or niece, assuming it doesn't stray in tone too much from the first two chapters. Other than that and letting aside i'm obviously not part of the target audience, i liked quite a bit the character designs and how they feel more or less like people (aka not acting like caricatures but keeping in mind the age of the protagonist when it comes to her emotions).
It's just me or Lunella is kinda thicc? Not that i'm complaining.
The only things i didn't like were how oddly smart the cavemen got since they reached the earth. The dinosaur acts like a dangerous pet out of a Disney movie but i guess it's okay for the kind of story it is.

A solid 3 out of 5 Stars so far imo.

Sounds about right.

>serengetti isn't africa
It's in Africa though.

Someone post the edits already

Not at all.

>Would you read Moon Girl if they dropped all the pretenses and just had her be a preteen super villain?
>Actually, yes. The idea of a pre-teen supergenius with delusions of grandeur who wants to remake the world in her own image because she thinks she's smarter than everyone else is a premise that has some solid weight to it. That's not even counting the fact that she can body swap with a giant red mutant T-Rex.

The T-Rex likes her on his Dino-cock

come on dude, she solved A PUZZLE, the hardest to ever exist, created by THE Bruce Banner, not even he could solve it, and he made it! She is just sooooo smart :P

No, but the white writers need to do a better fucking job. I have no problem with Black Panther, or Luke Cage though.

Sure, the Legion of Sivanas was my favorite part of Multiversity, so why not a gender- and race-swapped version?

If Moon Girl is so smart, why didn't she get tagged by Nick Fury to try and cure the zombie plague?
REAL geniuses can find the beauty in anything, even the corpse of the person who ate your children.

See, that's what's so weird about the crossover stuff I keep seeing.

The main comic, from what I saw, was making the point that solving some bullshit Reed made up doesn't really mean anything. SHE'S the one making the assertion that she's the smartest person in the world.

But it's like when she shows up elsewhere everyone takes her at her word about it or something?

Must have gotten an STD from the T-Rex. Last I heard, her snatch was covered in dino-sores.

Carlos that does it I'm calling ICE

What constitutes "a better job"?

Not baiting btw, I'm actually curious.

She's 15 which actually makes her younger than most of the teen heroes

Why are you so surprised? Everyone loves a good FRANK.

I guess that T-Rex is in trouble, because bad stuff tends to happen to them before the ICE age.
