If the fans were being so polite why was Vita Ayala angry with them
Spirit, assume you are going to have to put up with Hickman for a long time, just like we put up with you in this thread.
Please, don't bring lies to our thread. People were literally saying Hickman was unworthy of his job, should quit immediately and many variations of asshole, arrogant and such adjectives, without any sort of subtlety, some even calling him a racist. Maybe some of them deleted their tweets when you got to it, but I saw the tweets and nearly NOBODY was being educate.
It is, however, quite telling that you show up to a thread of a character you hate because people are defending a writer you obviously don't like and you want to defend the people harassing him again.
I follow some of the X-twitter people who attacked him. The ones I follow were fans but somehow projected their views on activism on him and they were disappointed in what he didn't say as much as the things he eventually said re: Black Lives Matter and the recent issues going on. Personally, I wish more folks in comics would proudly declare BLM but I would never demand someone to use their platform in the way I think they should.. some of the x-twitter folks I follow eventually apologized to Hickman or made tweets saying they regretted their behavior (because of Vita and Leah's defense).
The whole thing was surreal... I think people were so emotionally engaged and just needed to take a beat. I think the problem too is that some fans look up to creators and view them as celebrities in a way. My thing is to leave creators a lone and if you have contact keep it professional. I also don't expect creators to share all of my views and I realize some are not social activists (and maybe some are active in more of a behind the scenes sort of way).
Anywho... I like Hickman's Cyclops so far. I know some of us want more, but at least Cyclops gets used and he does have an important role in the mutant nation.
I never read marvel cross overs or bother to follow them. Is always the same characters in them.
The only one was venom with the young 05. That one was interesting. Wounder if Venom and Cyclops going to hang out like bros.
