twistedmentat posted:Wilson said that Carol was only going to be in A-force on a guest starring role, not in every issue, but it seems like that's not happening. I'd say drop Carol for a bit and put in Jess or Storm or Rogue or some other top tier lady hero for a bit. Why would Marvel put a mutant in charge of a non-Xman book? It doesn't go with their current stance of burying them until they get the movie rights. It's a good policy too mutants are big jerks.

I'm pretty sure She-Hulk is in charge of A-force. Is Odinson's appearance in Mighty Thor the source of the "Calm thine tits?" panel?

There's 3 team X-books and two Wolverine books despite Logan being dead, plus Uncanny Avengers, '92, everything Deadpool is in, etc. There's mutants all over the drat place. Making Squirrel Girl not a mutant was more a Ryan North joke than anything and the Maximoffs have had like twelve backstories anyway.

Marvel loves those rumors because they love stoking that fire. Remember last year when they promoted the Death of Deadpool and everyone was like "See? He has a movie now and they're killing him off!" and then it turns out his death was just the end of the world before Secret Wars and then he came back a member of the Avengers, the most popular hero in universe, and in four ongoings including the gender swapped spinoff.

I mean, sort of. Apocalypse Wars is just a branding for "all the X-books will do some vaguely Apocalypse-related stuff that doesn't actually cross over between books". It's an event in the way Fall of the Mutants is an event. They're also teasing some event called Death of X later this year, which paranoid fans are interpreting as the death of everything X-related, or that the Terrigen Mists will finally kill off every mutant and kill a quarter of their line to spite Fox instead of profiting off their popularity somehow. They may have once thought they could get away with that and just sub in Inhumans, but it turns out no one gives a poo poo about Inhumans either in the comics or on TV.

The Inhumans comics are way better than the X-Men comics. And way better than a lot of the comics Marvel is putting out right now.

I'm not saying that Marvel is completely freezing out the mutants. They still have a following and make money. But they haven't got a big reason to push mutants over the Avengers or even Spider-Man who they at least have the merch rights to and a deal to share the movies.

I find it weird how marvel is handling x-men right now, the last cycle with bendis made more sense. It's own little universe interconnected and helmed by a big name writer. But right now it's not really promoted as a big universe it's promoted as just like "Hey you like x-men? we are still doing that" One thing that people like about x-men is it's interconnected melodrama thing. I am amazed that there has been no 52 or batman eternal weekly x-men comic. Yes it's an editing nightmare but that would revitalize the comics line, x-men comic sales aren't growing they are shrinking but most non comic reader friends claim to *love* x-men

Don't know about you guys but my current favourite mutants are Laura, Roberto and Goldballs because none of them give a gently caress about this dumb terrigen mists nonsense that's seen the X-Men cry off to Limbo hiding like scared babies. Also, today I was reminded about OG Nimrod's final days before he got fused to Master Mold and booted through the reboot portal, and got sad because the idea of a time-travelling super Sentinel going beyond his programming, getting a job on a construction site and spending his spare time as a funky looking pink sarcophagus murdertron going all Punisher on crooks and giving their money to kids' charities is kinda cool and should have been explored further.

The mutants should just go visit Wanda and be like "hey I know you aren't a mutant anymore but remember when you genocided us? Yeah, wish away these loving mists as payback, thanks."Rhyno posted:Because eople have been buying X-Men comics every month for decades. It's a hard habit to break. Agreed, I mean I do it too, but regardless of the reason Marvel has no business reason to downplay mutants. People get it in their heads that they're going to do stuff just as a gently caress you to Sony/Fox or that they'd rather make no money off something than make some and have someone else profit too.

There's overwhelming evidence that every major business is exactly this petty and averse to making money if it means they share it. Go read those Sony email leaks and tell me again how people in charge at Disney/Marvel couldn't possibly take the childish option that makes them less money. The people who control giant money-making IPs are, on average, no more qualified to do so than the idiots who argue about it on the internet.

Sunspot's in charge of the new avengers and just disbanded them to start up the secret avengers, but that's more an indication of how much Sunspot rules that he's able to overcome being a mutant to be genuinely good outside his book.

It's a good policy too mutants are big jerks. First off, She-Hulk is A-Force's leader. Carol never has been. Carol was never teased as being it. So you obviously don't even read the comic you want to complain of. Second part, Dazzler is literally right there on the team, and is a mutant.

Yea, and GWW has been able to take angsy Dazzler and do something decent with her that doesn't dump that persona but made it decent. And yes, A-force should be based around a rotating cast of the women that are the heaviest hitters in the Marvel Universe; mutants, inhumans, enhanced and regular people. Like Have Kitty and Black Widow join, or Sue and Crystal for a bit.

Sue and Kitty are busy elsewhere, out of town a ways. EDIT - also, I'd take this whole "the X-Men are DYING Marvel is trying to bury them and kill them off with Terrigen" thing seriously if they didn't have six ongoings and mutant extinction hadn't been the ominous looming threat of every major X-Men story for the last several decades.

Also if every major teamup didn't have at least one mutant (excepting ANAD Avengers, which has a fairly permanent core four at this point due to the movies, a Spider-Man, and their biggest breakout success solo book, and Nova's just well...there I guess), and a teamup that's almost entirely just mutants. And if deadpool didn't have like four solos and was currently one of the most beloved and financially successful characters in-continuity, who've they already Gwenned.

Mutants are going totally going extinct we swear! Is the bog standard X-men over arching story at this point. It's basically the only way they can enforce the "we are a minority" status when 8 out of 10 people with superpowers, you know the characters the stories center around is a mutant.

I don't follow a lot of news sites and all that so forgive me if this is common knowledge but: Are there plans for Red Skull? He keeps popping up at the end of every drat book, all these teases, and not a drat thing is happening. It's just dragging on and on and I feel like nothing is going to come of it.
