Polygon has a bit of an obsession with Jessica Jones.

Their twitter account in the past week has been 90% shilling of Jessica Jones articles.

There have been 9 of them (by my count,might be more) written.

Safe to say someone is paying these fuckwits to shill out Jessica Jones?

Jessica Jones is going to be the closest they are ever going to get to a female-centric Marvel show or movie. That is why they are shilling it so hard. They unconsciously know this is the only thing they will ever fucking get from Marvel.

Captain Marvel is never going to happen. Fans don't like Carol after Matt Fraction's wife raped her worse than Jim Shooter did ,in terms of using her as a soap box to promote herself over the character. Nor will they ever get that Black Widow film they are bitching about wanting.

They COULD splurge over Supergirl, except that Supergirl doesn't have the SJW agenda bullet points being rattled off in such a shrill

over the top nagging fashion. Supergirl doesn't have a white male rapist as a villain and is well adjusted.

It was basically Power Girl's pre-Nu52 personality, mostly in her sense of ethics, snarkiness and treatment of friends, watered down but there. I didn't mind since the Gray/Palmiotti/Conner Peej no longer existed because "muh boob window" so DC made her a fully clothed slut instead, whhhhhy. Ruin one of your best characters to pander to blue hairs that don't read your shit anyway, good job DC.

Anyway, it was better then Carol's usual void where she's mostly awful to people (she was in the military you know!) between the bouts of complete nothingness.

Probably. But remember the last one they tried to shill out? Ronda Rousey? They kept talking about how she was some unstoppable SJW fighter in UFC or something and how amazing she was. And a week later she got her ass completely kicked and ended up crying.

They always pick losing horses. Just keep at eye on this and wait for some big controversy. Odds are in our favor that something big will happen that makes them look retarded.

The thing about UFC, speaking as an armchair analyst here, is that quite often what I find is it comes down to numbers. People see some hotshot rookie with a half a dozen wins who can say they're "undefeated" and have some gimmick and then they think they have some superman instead of someone who's either just slightly above the average or got lucky.

I mean there was that MTF fighting in the womens league that won a few amateur fights easy, and people were talking about how it was an unfair advantage. Then that same fighter got their ass handed to them immediately after. Because male body or no those fights were against rank amateurs with below average stats, and even a mediocre fighter like the one that one was able to take it. If it wasn't one of their pet projects they'd have bragged about how a strong woman can beat anybody with enough training, but it was so they didn't.

You also see the same thing outside of SJW shill stuff with guys like Ben Fodor. He pulled the same DBZ fanboy fighter shtick and had the Phoenix Jones thing to hype him up back when he was undefeated, but he has lost because nerd hype doesn't mean a fighter is invincible.

Holm, who beat Rousey, is now the top dog because SHE gets to claim the title of badass undefeated martial artist, but the reality is she will get her first loss eventually. The only real difference is that Holm doesn't seem to buy into the media games as much as the other three and as a married woman going under the name "preachers daughter" isn't likely to get shilled out as a replacement.

She didn't. But the UFC was trying to make her the most profitable fighter for the league by promoting her everywhere, on CNN, FOX, ESPN, they put her on the cover of their new video game, etc. And the media was glad to be able to push their feminist narrative by exploiting her so they collaborated with the UFC and her ego became gigantic. Undefeated! Champion! She could beat men in her own weight class! Etc.

I'm glad she was defeated by Holly Holm (and her coach Greg Jackson) but she wasn't an overt feminist social justice warrior or something like that. She was just annoying. She's probably still annoying but we won't hear about her for a couple of months.

She actually said she could beat Mayweather, but didn't want the fight because it would send the wrong message that it's ok to hit women.

When I read that I was torn between whether she actually believed it and was fully retarded or just thought it was a good way to get attention through hype-building shit talking which is as much a part of competitive fighting these days as fighting is.

I laughed when she got her shit kicked in only because it happened so fucking fast after she cashed in. She had no pretense of sustaining her career. She got hyped up, got her payday, and then just stopped trying… and got her face kicked in. If she ISN'T delusional, she knew she was going to lose once fighters who could combat her technique properly got in the ring with her, and she abandoned the gym to spend that time cashing out on her fame asap before that happened.

That said, a guy at works who's into comic books has a huge hard-on for this show, so it clearly has some people who like it.

But yeah, polygon not shutting up about it smells like paid advertising.

And I can't tell with Simone. It seems that her common sense powers are functional, but she willfully seems to suspend them at times - when it suits her to rally the crazies, I guess…

Connor has no time for SJW shit, you can see that in her body of work (she drew The Pro for christ sake).

Simone… she used to be one of my favourite writers. She's always had feminist/yay diversity leanings, but it was always done in the most appropriate, interesting way. It wasn't just pandering, there was a point. Then Nu52 happened. You can actually see it in those final Secret Six issues, the point where she was told they were going to rip up everything she'd ever done and murder her children. It turned into DeviantArt fanfiction, it was like her soul had left. Soon after was when she went full SJW, I suspect more in an effort to protect her future creations then anything else.

That Power Girl series had good art, done by a woman too. It was both fanservicey and expressive; the protagonist was clearly drawn to look sexy but also had plenty of non-idealized faces and poses for added expressiveness.

>Soon after was when she went full SJW, I suspect more in an effort to protect her future creations then anything else.

I assume she went through the same devolution as Lauren Faust (who went from writing a fantastic criticism of a sadly-popular form of feminism to becoming exactly what she parodied by unironically supporting the "shirtgate" bullshit; something so fucking horrible and mean-spirited that not even Tumblr SJWs got behind it).

I assume she used to identify as feminist back when being a "feminist" in geek culture didn't imply acting like you have a crippling mental illness 24/7 but simply wanted to create more varied portrayals of women in comics. Later the media pushed the worst fucking feminists in the world into the splotlight as the most important female voices in the world, along with the idea that they are victims and if you don't like them you're a filthy bigot; this had a huge impact on pop culture. So any remaining "feminist-identifying but not completely batshit insane" types felt like they would be left out if they didn't get with the times.

I think it's just peer pressure, simple as that. There used to be a time when you could be a self-described feminist but disagree with the dogma of hardcore super-dedicated feminists, but these days you'll just get called an anti-feminist bigot in disguise.

…Are you motherfuckers INSANE? Gail Simone? The person who CREATED the fucking "woman in a refrigerator" trope and basically sentenced any media that treats women the same way as men to the gulag? Who just pretended that *only* women had ever been killed as part of a plot device? Like she'd never fucking heard of Jason Todd, Uncle Ben, or the population of Krypton? Like Bruce Wayne's mom died, but not her son?

She EPITOMIZES SJW batshittery. She's completely, irrevocably fucked in the head.

She's the reason so many people got fleeced by "The Arkh Project". She promoted that SJW bullshit *just* because the person making it was a black tranny that hated white men.

She wrote The Movement, she actively posted on all the usual SJW comic sites that spread the cancer that's killed the fucking medium.

All the new less "sexualized" versions of popular female characters at Dynamite were redesigned at Simone's insistance. Just fucking look at her, she's Zoe in 20 years.

If they actually read comics they'd know Power Girl was probably the least sexual female comic character ever created. Titillation of the costume aside, she almost never got past mild flirting with any men. The exception being Hal Jordan and there was outside influences going on there. Post Nu52, her first appearance is spreading her legs so she can steal shit. It's ok though, we fixed the costume!

>>302743

Do you know where women in refrigerators came from? It was from Kyle Rayner's girlfriend being cut up and stuffed into a fridge for him to find and motivate him into revenge. The heart of the problem there wasn't that a woman was hurt though that's the take away of most people, it's that she could of just as easily been Kyle's favourite mug. She had no character, no personality, it was a woman that existed purely as a prop. It was also completely unnecessary to the story, unlike the origins you mentioned (and everyone voted to kill Jason). I'd call it bad writing myself because it's not always women, but that was her view.

Rest of that is post-Nu52 Gail. I said she went full SJW. She used to defend cheesecake for christ sake, her books were full of it.

One, those were origins, they all died in the first issue or before it. Two they were vital to establishing the character. Because of how important they are they've been fleshed out during the many, many times the characters affected think about them.

And I've tried to read the new Secret Six as well but I just can't bring myself to care about it either. It's not awful a first for SJW Gail but again there's a lack of fun.

I mean, who the fuck are you kidding? That's fucking creating it. She came up with the term. Yes, someone was a woman in a fridge, but she pointed it out like this was something that happened all the time and only to women.

It's like if someone took the panel from Avengers where Scarlet Witch has paralyzed Wonder Man and is forcing the team to watch her rape him, and we see her claw down his chest towards his crotch and him scream the "men getting their dicks scratched off trope" to assert sexual violence exclusively happens to men and that specific situation is common.

Its very simple:

Old Harley was a bit of a blonde and an idiot. Naive and childlike in her behaviour and obsession with Joker.

She wasnt some wise-cracking wacky "oooh I'm so crazy and goofy!"-character with badass fighting skills. She was the lovable doofus sidekick with cheerful and childlike personality, who showed an ounce of actual fighting capability every once in a while. Not the way of crossing swords with far stronger superhumans than her, but the way of her being able to sneak behind them with a concussion gun, or plan a clumsy but effective trap or ambush against them.

She was basically the Stan Laurel to Joker's Oliver Hardy. Not Deadpool with tits.

Actually Nu52 Secret Six is dog shit.

Basically all of the problems that befell Batgirl (IE Gail making it grim dark) plus the needless purging of the bulk of the old roster and the ones that remained, not resembling the characters at all.

The bullshit delays also damned the series (the artist drawing it was so fucking slow, it was constantly delayed).

The roster thing is the biggest issue: The loss of Deadshot to Suicide Squad was bad, but they could have covered for it by playing up Bane as Deadshot's replacement (especially since none of the writers at the Batman books seem to be using him).

But they jetisoned the entire cast for a bunch of F-Listers save for Catman and Black Alice, neither or which resembled their old selves. I know Scandal and Rag Doll and a couple of the others eventually made a cameo appearance in a filler story (rushed out because the book fell so fucking far behind schedule) but the delays and complete tonal shift and the worst possible changes to the rosters one could imagine, killed the book dead.

Ales Kot is not a good writer. He's a shit writer.

He was hired to write Suicide Squad when the first Nu52 left the book and got fired after about three issues. His run shat all over previous characteristics: Amanda Waller was pure evil and wholesale tortured Deadshot, let alone the whole bit where she tells Deadshot NO ONE on the team will actually get let go, as far as Suicide Squad being a scam, something that got dropped as quickly as Batman editoral demanding a story where Harley became a mass murderer that killed hundreds of kids was retconned a dream as soon as the story was published by other writers who saw how damaging the issue was. He also made Killer Shark suddenly turn out to be worthless beta virgin, which did not match ANY previous characteristics of the guy, let alone a bit where he had Harley murder a Joker Cosplayer just because she could.

He's a shit writer and his attempt to ruin Nathan Edmondson's career most likely was out of jealousy that he was blacklisted from Marvel after his shit fit over Chris Kyle brought Marvel a ton of bad publicity.

I'm so glad you said childlike. One of the biggest problems with modern depictions of Harley (especially when voiced by Tara Strong) is she's played as childISH rather then childLIKE. It's fundamental misunderstanding of the character that destroys her entire dynamic. She can be quite mature and is a pretty decent psychiatrist when not she's not completely Joker obsessed.

>>303423

Yeah that's pretty much how I felt about the new one too. In fairness though the F-lister cast isn't bad, that's what the pre-reboot Villains United/Secret Six was. Gail used to be able elevate characters, find their voices. It's all gone now though, she's all rotten inside.

His run on Suicide Squad was embarrassing, but Secret Avengers was really good.

(side note: NuAmanda Waller beats out NuHarley as the worst redesign by DC.)

His disgusting SJW attempts to get Edmondson and Gerads blacklisted over Chris Kyle were disgusting, and pretty much textbook SJW bullshittery.

I'm glad Edmondson is writing a bunch of new Marvel books while Kots is nowhere to be seen.

And with no sense of irony, Kots has started whining that people are blacklisting him for his political opinions.

Simone can be plenty lucid. Suicide Squad and Secret Six were both fine, IMO. And she has spoken out about tokenism and the blatant misuse of accusations of fridging (yes, she did create and promote it).

In recent years she's decided to suspend her rational judgment and support identitarian bullshit, I suspect for personal reasons.

I'm not defending how she's acting now. But she has been rational on a reasonably consistent basis, enough that I suspect she's more an opportunist than a kool-aid drinker.

In the original comic, Devil Dinosaur's partner is a *ahem* simian-like humanoid named Moon-Boy.

They could have gone the Native-American or Indonesian route.. Just saying..

He means they made the modern day equivalent of an ape person a black person. I know I giggled when I first saw it, I knew Marvel had no idea what they'd done.

A long, long, time ago. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Devil Dinosaur served as inspiration for the pokémon Tyrantrum.

It's not even original. This year another comic book about a girl and a T-Rex-like dinosaur happened. Goddamit, with all the hoopla about moon-girl that comic doesn't pop on search engines.

All I remember is that the dinosaur listened to the girl and she rode it to fight the other monsters that came from the same dimensional breach.
