Is DC capitolizing on the lack of sales in Marvel?

Since Marvel has essentially become a movie-making business with their comics selling lower than ever before, is DC capitalizing on their lack of interest?

Holy shit, welcome to last year, slowpoke.

You're not gonna get any sort of civilized political conversation here.

Sup Forums is an strictly left-leaning, liberal board. And they'll hammer that shit every time they can.

OP, what rock have you been under? Was the new line of DC characters not hint enough?

I'm sure this will be a perfectly normal comics discussion that doesn't diverge into politics

Wow, this place really is Sup Forumsmblr.

>this fucking outragefaggot image
Jesus Christ it even has the wikipedia links for the casuals. Gas all casuals and comics will be great again.

>Complains about how a discussion of Marvel will get involved into politics.
>One of the Marvel superheroes is literally Captain America.

what is this? 2016?

Holy shit, someone else who knows about Adal?
To be fair, Marvel has been pushing their shit more than DC has.

Conservatives politicians, and politicians in general, should be villains in cape comics.

Nixon was a straight up villain in the Marvel Universe in the 70s, and DC made Reagan a villain in several books.

That is a good thing.

However, current Marvel is pretty terrible and the only book I'm picking up right now is Waid's Captain America.

>Sup Forums is an strictly left-leaning, liberal board.

It's sad that this isn't the case. The board which be much better if everytime a Superhero did something heroic (like standing up for the oppressed) some right wing, Randian, shitheel didn't whinge about it.

>But superman saved some brown people and was mad at a white guy, my cultural identity is being erased!
Remember how much people whined over this?

Part of what I'm talking about.

Fuck the people who whined about that. Superman should save any life, and he did.

No, they aren't. In fact they seem to be in the process of hiring everyone they need to ruin their company. King and Bendis look poised to crash this shit with no survivors before Doomsday Clock ever finishes.

>how dare you complain about Superman beating up a leftist stereotype of a white conservative person

Yeah but God forbid anyone make BLM the villain in anything. It's fine to portray the negative aspects of humanity provided that they're white.
Kill yourself faggot

>this is a good thing
>and here's why

Go back

>DC
>doing anything right after they hired Bendis
"no"

Pretty much, which is why overall sales are down. The "new" DC customers are just salty marvelfags.

>They never show non-whites as evil
Not two pages later, not TWO fucking pages later they show Africa as a horrible, war torn and deplorable place. Jor-El literally calls an African village that it's the worst place on earth.
Lurk more you fucking Sup Forumstard

See?
Like I said, this board is left-leaning, liberal drivel.

They like to pretend they're on the right side while pretending they're being chased by the right-wing boogeymen.

What? I'm just pointing out that people got mad that Superman saved someone and chastised a bad person for doing so.

But illegals don't belong in America. They have to go back.

I wish we could trade and get the bronies back.
Culture Warriors are way more annoying than they ever were.

I agree, you should have to come in legally, but even so does that mean Superman shouldn't protect them from a gunman? Are you actually trying to argue that Superman should just let people get murdered?

Plastic man is back?
Where's he been?

He has his accident in Forever Evil and batman tried to use him to probe the dark Multiverse, it caused plastic man to basically go comatose for years and batman kept him under close watch in the batcave as an egg. Returning to the dark Multiverse or atleast being exposed to elements of it has caused him to regain consciousness. That's the short and fast of it really

>It's not happening
>It's not happening
>It's not happening
>It's not happening
>Lol it's been happening forever, get over it

Every fucking time

They're doing a piss poor job of it by hiring fucking Bendis. Meanwhile Marvel seems to be finally de-diversifying their racebent/genderbent characters with white Hulk, white Cap, white Iron Man, male Thor, etc. Are marvel and DC switching?

no

No, DC are just good at doing diversity and marvel aren't so marvel have to backpedal so damn hard while at DC heroes and legacy heroes can coexist and nobody is getting mad

Being left-leaning doesn't mean we like SJW retardation, user-kun.

Superman shouldn 't even be there. He's not legal either.

No I don't think he should just let them get murdered. I am suspicious though as to why this was written this way however, it feels like it's just supposed to make people who are upset about the burden illegals have become on America be the "bad guys" and therefore you should just let them stay.

...

I'm getting mad about Bendis on Superman. He will contribute nothing positive to the character.

It's perfectly within Superman's character to save those people from being shot, but if they came here illegally he should also carry them safely across the border.

Is today opposite day or is this thread b8?

>Is DC capitolizing on the lack of sales in Marvel?
user, this is DC that we're talking about. RESET THE COUNTER!

...

>It's another bait thread

How the hell is that in-character for Superman?

>DC are just good at doing diversity and marvel aren't
This is what Chads ACTUALLY BELIEVE!

The entire board is bait now, I can't talk about Marvel without DChumps coming in and piss all over or DC without Laddberbro coming in screaming about how DC is going to shut down in a week

...

Jor-El orchestrates a lot of problems all at once and Superman has to attend to them, after this he has to go over to Africa to stop them from killing eachother.
Superman had to deal with other shit immediately before and after that, you think he's just going to escort them out nicely when he's got bigger problems to deal with?

You mean, like Superman himself?

If they broke the law then he should fly them back to Mexico, make sure they get back to their homes or relatives safely, and tell them that they should apply for citizenship legally. He can assist them in that process if they want.

Fucking dictionary company trying to be hip.

>Kamala Khan
You mean the character they almost immediately ruined by putting her at the forefront of everything because she got popular? DC has been better at Marvel with diversity for a long, long time, rebirth shows you can do it rather quickly and not piss people off.

Say it with me now: Kryptonian birthing matrix!

Superman is a space alien who was adopted by American parents because his home planet was destroyed. It's not a comparable scenario.

He didnt have time for it, also, as long as they weren't causing trouble and were working, why would superman bother escorting them out if the country? Superman is an illegal alien himself

That's not been used for ages, Superman was born on Krypton and is an illegal

>and is an illegal

Wrong. Clark is a US citizen. The Kents are good parents and made sure to get their son citizenship, unlike these illegals in America that will be here for 20 years and never even attempt to get citizenship.

They faked his birth certificate, he's an illegal. These immigrants also wouldn't have the same sway Superman would, it's hard to deny someone who could kill you with a sneeze citizenship

You've opened my eyes. Why doesn't Superman stop traffic violations? If I see someone pass a stop light illegally, I want him to fly in, grab the vehicle, and put it back in the lane, giving a stern talking to the driver.

I'm not even being sarcastic, Superman Beat Cop should exist.

I mean, you can make a good case for Mexico being destroyed at this point.

Between Superman and Flash they really should be able to do all that.

Hard to get citizenship when applying for it will get you snatched up by ICE.

>It's fine to portray the negative aspects of humanity provided that they're white

WOW
WHO THE FUCK IS

BLACK MANTA
KILLMONGER
MAN-APE
COTTON MOUTH
ANACONDA
ECT.

Who the fuck are these guys huh? literally who's am i right guys??

Fuck off

Then don't come into the country illegally. How is that so hard to stick to?

Good.

>How is that so hard to stick to?

I bet the user that posted this was personally born in a third world country seeing how there's clearly no reason to leave that open paradise you know?

I was. And my parents went through the right process to move to another country legally. Paid up the ass for all the legal shit too

Not everyone has money user.

>Poor people don't deserve to try and make a better life for themselves

Neither did my parents. They worked their asses off to get the money to do the right thing

I'd be perfectly fine with diversity if they just CHANGED the characters slightly instead of REPLACING them.

If you want black Captain America, just retcon it so Steve was black all along, instead of doing the 90s thing where you make a new character who only exists to undermine the last character and pretend they never existed.
Like, is Nick Fury any worse character when he's black in MCU? Obviously fucking not, he's just as badass as the white Nick Fury.

Like, if they want asian Hulk, just make Bruce Banner asian, instead of replacing him with Cho. Just give us the same character, with one variable about them changed and write them the same way you used to. That'd be more acceptable to get exact same character, just slightly changed - than shoving a completely new character in our faces and telling us that we need to care about them now or we're racist.

That'd make more sense than this stupid shit Marvel is doing.

The only retardation here is yours if you think SJWs/leftists have any goodwill for Marvel after the NaziCap incident.

>Retconning steve to be black all along is better than passing the title to another person
Are you fucking stupid?

Here's the trick: Bendis is a good writer. Yes, he has his quirks like the 'stuttered' dialogue or repeated panels, but he's not a hack or something. The big issue is that Marvel treated him like a sacred cow and allowed him to get away with anything - I mean, Marvel editorial never seems to give a fuck about people acting out of character.
So he gets lazy, and delivers stories that make no fucking sense considering what we already know about characters.

If DC editorial will ensure that Bendis will stick to in-character behaviours, this could be actually a good run.

I remember Bendis saying that he was talking with DC about what he can and can't do, meaning he does have restrictions, hopefully this is a good sign, but I'm going to stay sceptical

Yes? I'd still be fucking Steve. Falcon became part of Avengers due to LITERAL affirmative action, like that's how plot of the comic goes. Having him replace Steve as Cap only because there is noone else is... dumb.

And it's not like this would be hard to justify in-universe, it's already established that Weapon Plus used black people as test subjects. Just make Steve the first black guy they tested it on.

Again, what do you fucking prefer? Bruce Banner getting killed and Cho replacing him, or Banner retconned to be Asian?

Jesus Christ just imagine what he was asking for DC to let him do.

>Again, what do you fucking prefer? Bruce Banner getting killed and Cho replacing him, or Banner retconned to be Asian?
Banner getting killed.

I never said affirmative action was good, in fact I fucking hate it, most of Marvel's diversity pushes have been rushed, poorly done and not sincere at all.
But that doesn't mean legacy characters who are "diverse" is always a bad thing, Jessica Cruz is great, Jaime Reyes is great, all the New Super-Man characters are great, they managed to not only make Black Wally a better character but actually have him and the old Wally exit together, and that's just a few more recent examples. They can exist side by side with the new character or even replace them, the problem stems from having them just be vehicle for a poorly hamfisted political message rather than just treating them like characters who can touch upon political matters. Retconning a character to be a different race means changing an already existing character and being lazy, put some actual effort into making your characters

>itt we pretend it's 2016

>Bendis is a good writer except when he's out of character
That's retarded, user. Even if you don't know the characterizations he's fucking up, so many of his stories are absolute shit. He's worse than Millar when it comes to decompression; his dialogue lost it's quaintness a decade ago in Ultimate Spider-man; he's all about self-insert mary sues; ...do I need to go on?

Problem is:
He doesn't know they broke the law or that they are immigrants (work visas exist) and he definitely has no time to stop and ask everyone for their papers. He just saw that someone was about to murder innocents and he stopped the attacker. Its up to the officers to see if they are immigrants or people with work visas, or chicanos, or whatever.
