Correct.
It was funny those two creators were left alone yet others including Geoff Johns have been attacked over creating POC.
If restraint can be shown to a writer who is KNOWN for satire in his books (He is the same writer who did Deadpool vs Black Panther), it should have been shown to everyone else.
Not this cherry picking agenda of rage-that at times shows a LACK of comic book knowledge.
Let the book come out and be judge for it's content once it's out. Because at the END of the day they still got paid something and Marvel looks bad for pandering to yet another echo chamber.
Who don't buy Marvel books to begin with.
Who were NOT interested in the first place.
Yet let a POC or a suspect character appear at DC or Marvel-here they come to throw fits.
Speedball would not have survived.
Night Thrasher CERTAINLY would not have survived and McDuffie's Black skater pitch would be used as ammo to justify the hate.
Sil would not be around as she would be view as some woke pandering project for handicap folks (Oracle and Cyborg say HI).
Marvel Boy killing his Dad would be viewed as an attack on WHITE MEN.
Don't let the Nova on the team be Sam Alexander.
The OG Warriors would get attacked just as hard and worst then the recent version. Along with Milestone.
Marvel still has the book under subscriptions.So is that new book that everyone laughed at just cancelled or what
Subscriptions is updated-so no one can say it's out of date. Yet the book still has it's summaries for 3 issues.
Amazon has 7 reviews on a book that is not out.
Nova feels like he's really leveled up and beyond the others, at this point, so he's right out. Justice and Firestar as well, to a lesser extent. Namorita, kinda, also she's still got some unresolved issues. Which leaves Speedball, who feels like he kind of needs to bounce back to this level, after his Penance crap, and Night Thrasher, who didn't always get the development he kinda needed.
I'd keep Speedball, and *a* Night Thrasher, but, twist, Dwayne is retired from costumed adventuring and running his company like a responsible business owner not named Tony Stark, and someone else is in the suit (suggested to be Donnell). He also serves as a mentor and backer for the team, so long as they don't do anything crazy irresponsible and get him sued!
The rest of the team are;
Timeslip
Sun Girl
Water Snake
Haechi
Striker (from Avengers Academy, the invevitable trouble-maker)
'Night Thrasher' displays truly amazing athleticism and fighting ability, which leads some to think it's Spider-Kaine under the mask, or Donnell is juicing MGH or something, and more credence is lent to the theory that it's Donnell when Silhouette is seen talking privately with him and touching his arm in a familiar gesture, but it is revealed finally that this iteration of Night Thrasher is Aaron Chord, who formerly went by the name Midnight's Fire, and is assumed to still be a villain!
And yeah, I broke the rules a bit with Striker and Midnight's Fire, but if I had to stick to previous members, I'd swap them out with Debrii and Donnell (who doesn't count as one of the originals, I'd imagine). I wouldn't mind one of Psionex in the 'former villain' role, but, gosh, I don't actually like any of them!

... I wouldn't mind seeing Nova lead a team of (all new) New Warriors but have them as a space-based team. Visiting different planets, righting wrongs, etc.
I'm still steeped in Volume 1 (being bogged down by reading other stuff too) and I'm loving the 90s messiness of the series and glad Fabian got away with a lot of the stuff he wrote. I feel like people who are going on either a "conservative" or "woke" rampage on old media are because they have no control of their own material condition. And a lot of time they cause an uproar for material gain (YouTube grifters) or for imaginary social capital (the number of retweets a person receives).
If those people actually cared about social discourse they would be talking about actual issues that impact minority groups. But that's not seen as sexy and is quite boring, frustrating, and tedious. It's going to get to a point where there will be no messy, pulpy art.
Regarding the subscription page, when I contacted Midtown Comics about it they said Marvel still hasn't made a decision about canceling the series or not. Also, that trailer for the comic is still up. Disney/Marvel is usually good with wiping away things that cause bad press. But even after bad press this is still around. Why?
Should Disney+ release the New Warriors TV show pilot?

Thanks, and good point about how even the original New Warriors would have faced (some level of) backlash from the same crowd to which you refer.
Cool idea thus far, and I can understand not liking anyone in Psionex, even if I'm a bit fonder of Pretty Persuasions than I perhaps should be. That said, Midnight's Fire as the "new" Night Thrasher would be cool, as I liked how Eve Ewing handled him in his appearances in her Ironheart series.
Good point about how whether it's on "old media" or "new media," people will exploit outrage and uproar in one direction or another for the sake of maximizing personal profit or clout, as opposed to addressing real problems in society that do disproportionately impact women, nonwhite people, members of the LGBTQ+ community, adherents of non-Christian faiths (or no faiths at all), etc. because doing that hard work doesn't score much in the way of immediate attention or other instant gratification.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Ah, Ultragirl and Debrii!
That was one of my boggles with making a team, is that they had so darn many cool ladies. I kept ending up with something out of a harem anime with one dude and six ladies, like a reverse big 7 Justice League... (Water Snake, Sun Girl, Debrii, Ultragirl, Timeslip, Silhouette and random token sausage!)
