You know, being adopted doesn't make him not Howard's son. Nurture is a thing.

It feels rather dismissive towards adopted children and their parents. A lack of a biological connection doesn't make...

I enjoy that kind of ending immensely. Stopping just short of actually revealing what's implied by the story can work perfectly, but I think it was rushed here. That moment really needed more space...

I read it shortly after another title that came out this week that also had several more cases of this situation, so it felt like too much unearned change.

All these adversaries just deciding to defy Doom and let Danvers & company go free felt rather out-of-nowhere.



Is that really a spoiler, though? The heroes band together to fight the bad guy...

Amour Wars: Make Love, Not Armor.

I think the insanity Arkon talks about is his loosening grip on reality, and not a matter of brain chemistry. Or a Deadpool or Joker type "sociopath of randomness", either.

He's stuck in a place...

Hell, a platonic but close friendship between two gay men - while also including stories about their separate romances - would be something entirely new in mainstream superhero comics.

Don't worry, an editor from Marvel will be along quickly to clarify that Steve isn't gay.

Yeah, just like there have been a ton of crossovers between the Disney and Marvel characters!

American TV is a fantasy land of unreasonably beautiful people. If you want average-looking actors, news anchors, etc., you have to watch British or non-English-language TV.

1) Reed Richards
2) Tony Stark
3) Adam Sandler

There's a new one coming up that's called Ultimates, but isn't set in the Ultimate Universe. I believe that's what the other poster is referencing.

X is used for a variable number, so let's go with X-Men. Or is anyone else using that title already?

It's possible the thread starter later clarified that they meant it like this, but the language in the first post doesn't support your reading. It doesn't ask what it will take you to accept those...

No. But the poll doesn't ask me, specifically. The option says "some people" will never accept a gay, etc. character, and I know this to be true. So that's what I answered - that there are people who...

What if the option was chosen mostly by straight people who will never accept such a reveal/change?

Only the people who voted know how they voted, and why. It seems odd that several people now...

But you don't know who voted for that option, so how the vote turned out really can't be put on the LGBT crowd.

I am straight, and I voted that option.

You shouldn't hold different posters collectively responsible for their individual posts just because they're gay or supporting of LGBT issues. I believe I've explained this adequately, and multiple...

Of course you did. You mentioned the poll, which was done by a specific person, and conflated it with the exasperated responses written by completely different people as if all of them were posted by...

LGBT people aren't collectively responsible for the posts of any single one of them.

It might. But then again, for a few pages now people have explained several times why straight people always asking minority members to be educated on -isms is awful to those minority members, and...

Not every single aspect of a character's visuals is a defining aspect, though. Skin color doesn't have to be defining in a comic character.

"gbt readers are under no obligation to educate straight people, but let's make a poll asking for straight readers to educate lgbt readers"

An obligation is quite different from a question.

And...

There doesn't need to be a reason for a person of color to play a "white" role.

I mean, do you stop and think "why is that person white!?!" every time a white actor comes on screen? Why think that...

So it's gonna be a feel-good sort of fluff piece. :p
