    I read that issue... I'm not sure the intention was that Mocking bird wasn't drugged and raped by the Phantom Rider, so much as Clint was unwilling to believe she was, and that was the real reason he divorced her (as opposed to letting her rapist fall to his death), and this was meant as an attempt of reconciling him divorcing her, and the fact that he had just murdered Bruce Banner in cold blood... I'm not suggesting this interpretation is an improvement.
    Context is king.

    X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
    I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!

    Sins Past, Sins Past, Sins Past, Sins Past.. good lord I hate that story. Technically still canon too. I like to believe that when Reed rebuilt the universe in Secret War, it got retconned out.
    OMD was also extremely controversial and still is to this day
    This is before my time but Carol giving birth to her rapist is something I imagine had lots of outcry
    Superior Spider-Man caused a lot of salt when it was first announced
    Scott and Emma's fling in NXM still causes flame/ship wars today
    Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum which practically killed the Ultimate Universe

    Sins Past only got thrown away because the kids got killed off.

    If I may, I’ll give my unsolicited opinions on the “unsolicited opinions on Israel” part. Israel has a lot of history of serious human rights violations and Inhumans treatment towards natives of the land. But anyway, back on-topic:

    Superior seemed to enrage comic fans more but Miles had Fox News running some segments on it IIRC. I still remember Glenn Beck calling it a conspiracy to make an Obama looking character Spider-Man lmao

    So both in different ways

    Have they ever apologized for the Captain Marvel rape thing?

    I don't understand how someone could think that was a good idea for a story.

    Chris Claremont fixed it in Avengers Annual #10. The matter is resolved.

    Went absolutely nowhere. They immediately backtracked, Bunn & Hopeless accidentally tagteamed a redemption arc, then Leah connected the whole character arc together in a neat bow and put her in a position to be a more effective mutant leader.

    This is just wrong. They shouldn't do this for any movie, let alone a comic book movie that is supposedly intending to send women and girls positive messages throughout:

    Jim Shooter doesn't bend the knee. Claremont called him out in Avengers Annual 10 though.

    It was immoral. Like how old was Gwen Stacy?

    I still remember reading that story and screaming..no..no..NO!!
    Because no college student has ever been seduced by a middle aged man? Trust me it happens often.

    And the reverse is also true. Once interned at a firm where a few of the female interns were throwing themselves at a couple of the handsome, wealthy, silver haired partners -- one of whom was married. It happens.
