Just wondering what has been Byrne's most recent work?
They probably don't care about his transphobic rants because it never got mainstream coverage. Now if he says something stupid now and it gets the kind of coverage Ardian Syaf got last year? Or James Gunn got this year? Yeah, I can see Marvel doing something about it. A classic case of only acting when it reflects badly on the company.
Just curious if people really think this is really much to get excited about (if he is in fact "talking" to marvel).
Just because he's done great thing, doesn't mean he's got anything relevant to say NOW. What's he written or drawn that's been any good in the last several years? I dunno...just saying that for me, personally, (And I'm not basing any of this on anything he's said or done personally) he hasn't done much to excite me in a very long time.
And because, outside of the odd interview, he keeps almost 100% to his personal forum, and he keeps that pretty carefully weeded of people who disagree with him. He's got the good sense to stay off social media and doesn't have a huge audience, so a lot of his uglier statements do go under the radar.
You know, I'm looking forward to this! In the day age, where most writers stories are padded for trade maybe his writing might be the thing to reinvigorate Marvel. I would like to see him on Captain Marvel or one of the Avengers books. Maybe he can do an Iron Fist series or Daredevil.
There is for sure some bias going on. Gail Simone litteraly just got some hot water for placing a bulge on Plastic Man when he was possing as Harley Quinn along with some on page remarks he had. Her twitter feed is literally littered with post of her blantly insulting fans. Calling them idiots and the like. She also frequently post things to litterally stir up poop and then hides behind the veil when things get too hot.
It’s one thing to post on your personal website/blog and then being questioned and engaged by fans of whoever. But its a whole other thing to post in a public place and actively cause drama.
Both are on the same level on this one. Heck most writers place whatever views they have online and im sure to some they seem pretty awful to one person or another in todays world.
