Oliveira was one of the most egregious of the social media buffoons over Hydra Cap, because he wasn't one of the acceptable "OMG what is marble dooiiiin types" who don't follow comics, or the intermediate and disrespectful hypocrite type who brought up Simon and Kirby because they had no argument, but the one who went as far as to accuse Spencer of promoting white supremacy because Hydra Cap lifted Mjolnir (completely ignoring the story being Marvel's most anti-facist ever because suddenly you can't do things that can be twisted out of context, which is not only moronic outside of a vaccuum, but two years later hasn't happened with that imagery), but he even associated Spencer with Charlottesville because a guy wore a generic Hydra t-shirt (as if he was inspired by a comic book and not Hydra's prominence in acclaimed blockbuster Winter Soldier, but of course Anthony didn't throw any shade at Marvel Studios), he also would tag Spencer so his followers could dogpile his Twitter with ease, and even took Nick's notes that resisting white supremacist public figures through violence isn't going to effectively stop them or help us (which was true but being anti-violence conflicted with the current Twitter meme) to spin into character assassination and how he shouldn't be writing Captain America, of course through screencaps to all his followers for thousands upon thousands to see. And all of this was directed towards the writer, not the company.
Now there seems to be some kind of collective amnesia surrounding the lengths certain people went to during that time, so he can not only be a consultant on flagship Marvel books (he got a credit on the new Daredevil, so add that to the list of random things otherwise very solid talent Zdarsky does to bother me), but he can also now get actual work from the company because Wil Moss and some other Marvel creators follow him on Twitter for some reason. I mean, it's just an anthology story while Spencer's on the most popular character in comics, but it's the principal of the thing. There's definitely a typo somewhere in here. |
