Uh... I'm going to get so much hate for this, but screw it, here it goes: I hate Lady Loki. I hated the whole stealing Sif's body story line, and I don't care about the gender fluidity in Agent of Asgard. Most of all, I hate how the fandom perceives Lady Loki as the "Superior Loki", who is much prettier, confident and powerful than the male counterpart.
I get that it means a lot to certain people to have a character like that, but I really don't like her.
If Marvel said yes to buying DC in 1,984 New Teen Titans never would have fallen off.
Dr. Doom should be to proud off himself to ever feel the need to where the armor of Iron Man.
I think you could be right. At the very least it was pulled off 100% better then I feared it would when it was first announced.
Is Lady Loki really that popular? I mean, those who love the idea that Loki is genderfluid (Such as myself) do not really refer to her. From what I remember she is a kinda bad example of Loki being genderfluid, the few times he did become female in AoA etc where much better examples.
The Phoenix Force sucks. It's one of the worst retcons in all of X-canon, and is further proof why Jean should've stayed dead (until they came up with something better).
Sure, in the grander scheme of Marvel cosmic it works fine, but it seems to only spawn incredibly convoluted storylines for the X-men, and like it's namesake suggests, refuses to die and keeps popping up.
Her original origin of simply being a mutant exposed to cosmic rays was much better, because it allowed us to focus more on Jean the person
She's regarded as a Queen on Tumblr, but I guess that's obvious. The phone game Avengers Academy made a big deal about her (she even says "This is an update" regarding her female form) because God forbid Loki can interact with Angela in a male form. As for Loki changing into female form at the end of Agent of Asgard completely out of the blue, I don't get it. I guess that's trying to prove a point that he/she can be anything and isn't limited by what what others think of him/her, but the Asgardians didn't have a problem with Loki's gender or sexuality, it was his lying and backstabbing.
Changing genders randomly doesn't prove that Loki accepts himself or herself. He already switched genders before he became the God of Stories. The book should have tried to achieved a more internal and gradual change, rather than "let's burn myself and regenerate Doctor Who style". He basically killed himself and became another Loki, one who suddenly didn't give a damn about what Asgard or his parents thought of him. It was such a good premise, I really didn't like that ending.
since we're talking controversial, Deadpool is the Poochie of the Marvel Universe; just a successful/popular one. Gwenpool is a knockoff of Deadpool (spider-man's face, pouches, large guns, swords). but Wade was created, literally, to capitalize off of what was popular at the time. he's still a lot less on-the-nose than Adam X.
I read every single issue of Bendis' GOTG and loved it
"Dedra Meero is not just a woman in a men’s world, but a fascist in a world of fascists.” - Denise Gough
Put me in that section too. I read America Chavez's first appearances in the Vengeance mini a while back and have disliked her ever since, even in Young Avengers. Sometimes I will read something in spite of her being in it but avoid anything with her as much as I can.
I really don't think there's too many girls in comics. That being said, what I don't like is when a comic book goes out of its way to tell us "Look, she's awesome! And she's a GIIIIIIIIIIRL!!!" Let characters be characters. Let them be defined by their skills, their strengths and their hearts. Not by their gender. Did they rub our noses in the fact that Captain Janeway, Princess Leia or Ellen Ripley were women? No. They were there and they did the job, and it felt normal and natural.
So I'm not really a fan of the Billy/Teddy relationship, but it's more an issue of the way its written than the characters. Their relationship is TOO perfect. They're TOO domestic. I mean, do they really have to have this cutesy perfect family in the future? Not everybody wants to have kids and maybe that would've been more interesting for them. It's like the writers like to make them too cutesy and 'normal'. They had a hiccup in YA vol 2 but even that was resolved in the most saccharine way possible. Sometimes their relationship reads like a slash fanfic written by a 14 year old girl. I would not complain if they broke up and dated other people for a while at some point.
