Recently I keep reading here how Marvel comics "aren't woke anymore". This is the first modern Marvel book I've read in a while and was tripping over endless flow of black lesbian disabled metrosexual girlbosses in rainbow colors.
At this point it's pointless to ask who is all this for, I get this isn't for me and not pressing the issue. But who are you trying to gaslight by saying Marvel isn't all that anymore?

That’s Web Weaver the gay spider-man. So reading this comic you should have known what you were getting into.
You picked the one book about a gay guy to read?
I mean the entire second volume of Edge of Spider-Verse, not just this story. I didn't know who any of those people were beforehand.
Spider-Verse and Spider-Geddon were bad but at least didn't exist just to throw DEI quota Spider-people at you.
No one claims the wokeness is completely gone just that it has gotten substantially better especially on them allowing cheesecake and sex appeal again.
By far the worst recent woke thing they have done was Aaron's Punisher run especially the ending.
Who in the blue hell told you that?
It feels like after Trump's victory we're now at a point where normalfags and even companies are ready to admit that "wokeness" or whatever you want to call it is retarded, but they're not quite ready to ditch it.
you stupid chud, you don't HAVE to play as Yasuke or pick gay romance scenes in the new Assassin's Creed game... N-not that there's anything wrong with either of those things, of course
Numerous Anon Babble theads.
They are never going to ditch it. For now, they'll just pander to anti-woke le based gamer crowd instead, with superficial stuff like having girls with big asses and boobs again. Probably won't even be calling out troons on all the bs they've done over the last decade or calling them mentally-ill.
Since wingnuts are every bit as retarded as twitter lefties, they'll tank their reputation just as fast. Corpos would start doing 90s lib "let's treat everyone equally so we won't be like those dem bigots" dance again, people would cheer for them and the whole cycle begins again, probably with a new group or minority mixed in for consumers to worship. It’s all part of the same social engineering they’ve been doing.
This
They're still up to it just do it less now. I was worried about dipping into ultimate for this exact reason. Only one that needs to cool it with politics is The Ultimates but it's not Trump's first term bad about it
The reality is just that people who read comics got used to all the wokeness, so they don't even notice it.
non binary Hawkeye
No it’s much worse. You wouldn’t have seen that before 2021
Even anti-woke stuff feels the need to parade the "well this is le heckin cool black guy/gay guy/woman who agrees with us that things are getting out of hand!
Looks cool.
Wrong!
I’m just thankful for niche characters like Web Weaver and Aaron Fischer. That means writers won’t make guys like Peter, Ben, Kaine, Mikes Steve, Sam, and John Walker gay.
But did they have to make Web-Weaver check every single box in gay stereotypes? Flamboyant, fashion designer, effeminate.
Yes. He’s the gay Spider-Man in all but name. He owns that. So he’s as flaming as possible.
Where's my masculine gay Spider-Man, Marvel? Surely the multiverse has one out there.
name 3
you already got Miles
Recently I keep reading here how Marvel comics "aren't woke anymore".
And who is this people that are telling lies?
Where's my masculine gay Spider-Man, Marvel?
yeah, seriously? Where are all the bears? It's like any time a character becomes gay they suddenly turn into some hyper feminine twink. But then you got guys like Apollo and Midnighter who nobody ever had issue with.
Not confirmed...yet.
becomes gay they suddenly turn into some hyper feminine twink.
It is a weird phenomenon. Are the writers only familar with that archetype? Even the queer writers and illustrators they hire always seem to lean into that.
no one wants to see the hairy sweaty fatsos that constitute 90% of fags, even said hairy sweaty fatsos.
Spider bussy
And nobody wants to see the walking vaginas that is the opposite extreme.
aren't woke anymore
Silly anon. In order for the wokeness to go away, Spider-man has to get back together with Mary Jane, One More Day has to be undone, Miles Morales has to get his own name instead of pretending to be Spider-man, and all the extra Spider-people need to be killed off. Even legacy characters like Spider-woman.
And that's just year one. The amount of cleaning that needs to be done for Marvel Comics to not be "woke" anymore will take years. Why? Cause Marvel didn't become woke overnight.
yeah but most superheroes aren’t that either, they’re big buff guys. why can’t the gay ones also be big buff guys
This, Spider-Twink is actually kinda funny and less gay than Miles Morales.

fpbp
i think your keyboard cut out, try typing that again.
be fr fr ong
there's just not enough market for it
flamboyant twinks as fag is easier to swallow (no pun intended) for normalfag audiences on top of being visually distinct, buff fags look too much like a twist of buff straight men.
Any type of Spider-Men was never meant to be swole. They have to be lath and flexible.

It's your own fault for falling for it.
Any type of Spider-Men was never meant to be swole.
So why is Miguel the exception?
Shocker is unironically and genuinely the best design on that cover lmao
Kris Anka really does capture him well.
It's funny, I own this Star-Lord book solely cause of the great characterisation for Herman Schultz, 8-Ball and Melter.
great characterisation for Herman Schultz, 8-Ball and Melter.
What sets them apart from their usual mischaracterization in this particular run?
This is only a spiderverse thing, in every other piece of media he's in, he's just as big as peter. Though I will give you that due to his rise of popularity cause of movie, he's probably gonna become a 7ft tall muscle butt in the comics as well.
Because is in the closet and afraid to come out.
Sakura Spider alllll the way in the back
I forgot she was in this Spider-Verse run
It's mainly just showing them humanized in fun ways such as 8-Ball just being very easygoing but keeping his mask on always even when drinking cause he's paranoid about people knowing who he is, Melter being a miserable mopey cynic who's wife divorced him and Shocker continuing the trend of being cautious but friendly, wised up on how rough the business can be and just coming off as a nice guy that despite being a crook does show concern for Diamondhead when he goes missing, enough to ask Starlord for help on it while also getting along with him despite being a superhero. It's only 5 issues but I'd say give it a check, it has the evil Felicia shit that Slott saddled everyone with keep in mind tho.
They were making a joke and you didn't understand because Marvel Comics is more woke now than ever.
>gay writers and gay writers who came out the closet
>the worst artists of all time
>editors who hate Stan Lee
>gays everywhere, in all comics
>and the end of cheesecake
We can dream that one day Marvel will be free and the new owner will have a simple retcon, everything from 2009 onwards never existed, never happened
What’s the title??
Star-Lord:Grounded, from Chip Zdarsky. It's one of his better works.
Thanks for your explanation.
No problem, I'm extremely autistically fixated on many of Marvel's great villains and try to keep up to date on what they've done, how they've been handled/treated and how they get characterised or what history they have with other characters and so on.
I think it won't be as fervent as it was, but gay characters, transexual characters, and so forth are just gonna exist and be treated as normal now.
lmao you wish
fags are huge drama whores, the moment they become normalized they'd find another issue to regain the spotlight
remember when it's just "what we do in the privacy of our bedroom is our own business"?
They're not a monolith, you know that right?
Retard.
