It's certainly valid to discuss a controversial moment in a Spider-Man comic in a Spider-Man discussion.

Honestly, it's about a different topic. It can be its own thread or an update to an earlier discussion on Kamala Khan.

It probably makes the most sense as a new thread, since it's not a meta...

This is probably why there needs to be some kind of penalty. It's atrocious if they can endanger thousands of lives for show and there's no incentive against it. Iran appeases regional antisemites,...

I would guess there's a distinction between slagging someone online, and polite critique.

Plenty of writers and artists mention what they don't like about other series, and they keep getting work....

There are fundamentally three questions on Trump- why he won the nomination in 2016, why he won the presidential election in 2016 and why he'll be renominated in 2024.

Part of the context of his...

It shouldn't be surprising that one of Marvel's best-selling titles has some fans.

That's a fair point.

It highlights that for a lot of activists they're going for symbolism rather than results, since a city council calling for international action isn't going to make a...

At some point, there will have to be an effort at reeducation to expose them to the information that's been kept from them. That will be the way to prevent the radicalization of a new generation.

I have to wonder if you really believe this.

They should resent Hamas for all the bad things in their lives.

We can't make the perfect the enemy of the good.

There are still Nazis, but they are not in charge of governments.

If the Palestine region in 2104 has the same level of support towards...

It's a bad thing that the Middle East is full of religious fanatics, but this shouldn't mean we reward them for it by limiting our options in ways that wouldn't apply to different kinds of fanatics....

She's suing under California law, where retaliation for political views is not allowed.

I’m still curious how you folks would like to see a Storm monthly. What would be a similar run? If you were an editor, what would you be looking for?

Would it be something like Priest’s Black...

It seems clear that family man Peter will be part of the inter dimensional crossovers that became a major aspect of Spider-Man comics.

This seems like a major issue for a Storm solo series.

Where does it go after the initial arc is over?

Does Storm have a twelve issue mission, and then what's over, she goes on a completely...

Well said. A series needs some kind of hook. Spider-Man balances being a superhero with being a student. Daredevil is a blind lawyer by day, ninja vigilante by night. Etc.

And a Storm series may...

There was a line about it in John Ford's Oscar winner How Green is My Valley.

"But remember that with strength goes responsibility-to others and to yourselves."

This seems like a movie that...

The Democrats can't choose to win the Senate and the presidency in 2024. They obviously would like to do it, but the decision is not going to be made by them.

Perhaps there are things the party...

I remember an editor saying comics sell on three things: creative team, characters and hook.

The hook is a big part of sales, and the hook here is that this time Spider-Man is a family man.

Democrats currently have a Senate majority so it's not a Merrick Garland situation. Schumer would certainly allow the nominee go for a vote.

It's possible but the arithmetic suggests one outcome...

There's an argument on whether those interested in the progressive cause should do more to pressure Sonia Sotomayor to resign, given the possibility that the Democratic party will not have control of...

This seems short on data.

I can understand one reason for that. Colorism is a sensitive topic, and anyone trying to identify what percentage of African-American actors are dark-skinned or...
