Everyone is talking about Miles, when the real good news is that Riri is now free to be the Machiavellian tyrant she was meant to be.
Everyone is talking about Miles...
Correction:She's now free to die. Or go fuck Zeke Stane and become the MU's Bonnie & Clyde.
Anyone who'd dare to do this would commit career suicide on the eyes of Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, CBR, etc...
You know, the people who actually spend money on comics.
And before anyone asks, yes, same for Teen Jean.
>on the eyes of Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, CBR, etc...
Who cares? If it's a good story people who actually buy comics would buy it
>Tumblr
>buying comics
Also, I doubt Reddit gives a shit about Riri. Miles seems to be the extent of the diversity hires they care about.
PLEASE let her become Doom's intern, hnnng
>If it's a good story people who actually buy comics would buy it
It doesn't work like that anymore and you know it. If it was like that, Vision wouldn't have suffered as much as it did. If it was like that, current GotG wouldn't be selling lower than Bendis GotG. If it was like that, Ewing wouldn't be know as the king of low sales.
They wouldn't make her evil, since making Tony come back and making his "progressive" replacement inferior and villainous would look very, very bad for Marvel.
But Marvel is very petty, so I can see them taking her out of the spotlight and stop using her so much. Tony's coming back, right? So maybe he'll get his book back, and Marvel will give Riri her own stealth-mini before cancelling her and letting her fall into obscurity.
As a proud, homosexual user of Reddit, I can attest that quite a few people on Reddit care about Riri. Nowhere near as much as people cared about Nova, and there's certainly a lot of haters for her. But axing Riri will definitely upset a lot of people for AT LEAST three hours before they get over it.
I only regret she was such a poorly written and pitched character cause goddamn those DICK SUCKING LIPS
Visions is something your average Marvel reader wouldn't look once at. Same for most stuff Ewing writes. Then on the other end of the spectrum you have Bendis keeping things incredibly dumbed down and releasing books to match movies. The problem is there's no middle ground between crazy cosmic shit/AI introspection and synergy shlock.
As for current GotG it's fine but not buyable fine. Bendis' sold as well as it did because of the movie
Tumblr demonstrably does not buy comics. And even when they DO, they don't buy Riri.
>Bendis' sold as well as it did because of the movie
Duggan had Vol. 2. What's his excuse?
It's a sequel and hype died. Wasn't an even going on around that time as well
I wouldn't mind if she became a villain, but it'd take a lot to make her do a complete 180 like that.
But she'd be even sexier.
Hype died? It got a bigger opening than the first one, and at least 100 million more money. And neither Bendis nor Duggan debuted their GotG in the middle of an event.
GotG was a sneak hit for your average audience this lead people to go out and get the comics that looked like the movies. Once Vol. 2 came around everyone and their grand mother knew "I Am Groot" and the novelty wore off. They'll still go see a movie for two hours but going out and buying the comic is out of the question
S-Sauce?
Bendis comic debuted months before the movie was even on theaters though.
True, they would go for Kamala first honestly. It's all about whose on the oppression meter at the end of the day.
Pretty to look at but oh lord when she opens her mouth.
I want someone else to write her so they can do something good with her. I dont want her to become a villian but Id at least like to see what her demon in a bottle would look like.
Whats the thing with Miles, though? Is bendis killing him off?
She's meant for the fridge.
This guy is right.
Reddit hates Riri.
But what if she opens her mouth...to take dick?
(Teenage pornstar Riri when?)
Just look on paheal for Riri you'll see the set. There isn't much.
Ok.
She's the Mandarin reborn in a new body.
More like Riri will just fade into obscurity without Bendis trying to push her.
And with that the only contribution Bendis has made to the Iron Man mythos will be gone. He's been on the book for over 2 years and nothing to show for it.
at somepoint, someone should just start selling mass produced ironman suits to anyone. They could be the new status symbol vehicle of choice. instead of expensive luxury cars, helicopters, or private airplanes.
just imagine all the world's major cities where dozens of people all have Ironman suits.
Bendis stops writing Riri and starts writing Steel with Natasha Irons.
You do know that's basically Tony's nightmare come to life, right?
I know that feel user, every time I see them the D turns to DIAMOND.
>career suicide on the eyes of Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter, CBR, etc...
>You know, the people who actually spend money on comics.
Those people don't buy comics.
CBR has die-hard Marvel defenders so it wouldn't matter.
I have doubts Tumblr and Twitter are substantial buyers.
>but it'd take a lot to make her do a complete 180 like that.
What are you talking about? She's been heroing not to do good but to prove to some haters she made up that black girls can be smart too. She has been invading foreign countries and shit to feed her own ego. She isn't a true villain yet, but it would be far from a "complete 180"
How about you actually read some comics in stead of repeating what other people shitpost you mindless faggot
