Latest Iteration of Marvel Villain Based on Real Person14342
 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| @CaptainCanuck If you have spent any time on social media I am sure you have seen what a cesspool any forum turns into when politics interrupt otherwise intelligent conversations. For people who want to focus on comics this sort of nonsense ruins an otherwise enjoyable experience. |

Does Marvel bear any blame for producing this type of stuff? If we sweep it under the rug, these types of things will continue to taint the enjoyable experience that comics once were. |

| For those who have forgotten that comics have always been political, you might consider joining the monthly reading club! We saw last month when reading about deaths in Spider-Man's life that even back in the late 60s/early 70s, when Spidey wasn't worrying over Captain Stacy's death he was worrying about the environment and Vietnam. There are overt references to Ralph Nader, 'law and order' political candidates and their racism, and so on. There hasn't been anything too political so far in the Invincible issues we're reading this month though. | ||

| @xkonk Comic books should be grounded in reality so I get why politics are touched upon. At times comic writers can he heavy handed and readers may be turned off by that. While comics can get political this forum should continue to be a oasis free from such squabbles. |

| @xkonk You're absolutely right, and Green Lantern/Green Arrow approached these issues on a monthly basis. Funny thing is that when I look at Caps Dialogue ("He tells them what they want to hear. That they are secretly great. That the whole worlds against them. That if they're truly men they'll fight back.) I wouldn't be able to tell you if he's talking about a Left Wing website or a Right Wing website. Isn't this just standard recruiting verbage on all sides of the political spectrum? A key component of strengthening Tribal allegiances is to make sure that you hate the other tribe(s). |

| As long as it relates to good stories. This red skull thing reads as the writer’s agenda and a passive way to call someone a ww2 bad guy. This should be called out every time. | ||

| This political free oasis has seen politics posted even by those who would most complain about others at times. One mans politics can be anothers current events or social concern indeed....I think Stan Lee often and loudly hit on social issues and themes while still alive and attempted to use his position and the products marvel released to make the world a little better place. | ||

| @drchaos no argument. Just saying, there have been a fairly large number of times on a comic book forum where comic book fans say that comic books haven't been political or weren't political in the old days, etc etc. And it's weird to me because it's factually incorrect and should be well-known to comic books fans. People don't have to like it and we don't have to discuss it on the forum (although, here we are...), but denying it exists is simply wrong. | ||

| I think Captain America comix SHOULD be political. in fact it would be hard to write a half decent CAP comic without politics. he kind of wears a flag. you can't write stories about ideology's from the 1940s forever, right? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk A friend stopped watching Falcon & The Winter Soldier after the scene where Sam tries to get a loan. He called it woke. I said, "Dude, it's not all about you. Perhaps that scene appeals/validates/relates to the experiences other people might have. Get over yourself." Sometimes it's the writer being heavy handed. Or sometimes you're not the target audience. |

Quote:Originally Posted by MatterEaterLad That doesn't make sense to me. I'm actually impressed with the lack of "woke" in F&WS. See: The scene where they go to the old man's house. Sam's comments about "Black Falcon" were on-point and funny. The police stop seemed like it might be going there, and it kinda did, but Bucky getting arrested moved the plot forward. There are ways to intertwine themes - and giving them purpose - that don't alienate your crowd. F&WS is a great show, IMO. It's the opposite of WandaVision, which IMO sucked pretty bad. |

| Has there ever been a hero or villain in comics named Black _______ who wasn't black? Just curious... There's some green heroes (Lantern, Hornet, lama) who aren't green, or blue (falcon, beetle) who aren't blue, or red (tornado) etc. |
