LOL, they could just make him a immigrant worker from Mexico, who somehow made it too wakanda. A mexican could make a superior brown panther. Athletic (running from border patrol, swiming in massive rivers, climbing fences), and super resourceful…
Nah, we need Native American Black Panther: The Red Panther.
Joe Pantherfoot was just a normal Native American, flying his whiskey plane around the world to prove Native Americans can pilot machinery as well as the white man. Suddenly his plane begins to fail for lack of real fuel, crashing in the lands of Wakanda. Exiting his craft with a macho attitude and barely any scratches, Joe notices he inexplicably smacked the Black Panther with his plane. Dying and not quite sure what is going on due to the unfamiliar whiskey washing into his mouth, Black Panther mistakes Joe for a member of his tribe, compelling him to carry on the mantle of the Black Panther.
Joe spurned on to prove that Native Americans can now do things better than black people, he becomes the Red Panther, thwarting evil that interests him while basking in the delights of ruling a nation with hot ass black women.
(Blatantly desperate stuff like this is exactly why I said I don’t understand why you and other people can still stand to read most superhero comics, RockBogart. This is really lazy for reasons a bunch of other people have pointed out.)
I see someone already brought up Thor Girl, who this really should be if it’s not another Asgardian if they weren’t transparently lying about out of their collective asses about how this is going to last until “kingdom come”. Speaking of alternate universe comics, between this and Captain America being turned into an old man, it seems like Marvel is finally starting to take ideas from Earth X and insert them into the “mainstream” 616 universe.
I can’t wait until it’s revealed that Matt Murdock has secretly been Mephisto this entire time, especially since it would be extra amusing that a lawyer caused Spider-Man’s cosmic retcon divorce.
Anyway, this will probably last until Avengers 2 comes out and then Thor will reclaim his “worthiness” while this character either dies or sinks into obscurity or just gets depowered–some combination thereof will probably befall her. Regardless, no one will care.
Yes, seriously. He’s talking about Dust A.K.A. Sooraya Qadir. She’s easily one of the most positive things to come out of X-Men in the past couple of decades, arguably the most positive thing given there were basically no positive Muslim characters or Arabic characters in comics at the time; there still really aren’t, though at least Marvel seems to be trying with this new Ms. Marvel (or so I’ve heard). Literally the only thing racist about her, surprisingly, is this stupid bit towards the end of Young X-Men’s third run where she was made an “evil” terrorist in yet another dystopian future essentially just because.
Thankfully, everyone ignores that. Still, I’m honestly surprised to see that she’s still alive and relatively unblemished otherwise.
(Not sure how “decades” became “days”, but apparently I typo that hard at times.)
Both, Blindknagg. Tony is arguably bisexual as it is already–or at least really gay for Cap–given the way he cried over Steve’s grave and the way Marvel “subtly” hinted how the only reason they haven’t fucked at this point is because they’re the same sex. I mean, if even Moonknight’s insane ass could see it and call them out on it during Civil War…
Besides, Fem!Stark would just allow Marvel to abuse “girl-on-girl is hot” and it being way easier to have people believe a woman is bi than a guy with them shouting “she’s just gay!”; not that they still wouldn’t just want to watch anyway. Fem!Stark would probably manage to beat out She-Hulk in sleeping with people…including by sleeping with She-Hulk.
That said, I’ll have to jump on the already-full bandwagon of people who think there’s no way that Tony’s first interaction with female Thor doesn’t involve him hitting on her in some way. Man’s predicktable.
…Yes, but now I want this name change so badly even though I’m lukewarm at best to Captain Falcon otherwise.
Maybe they can still change if they write a storyline that ends with him punching Doctor Doom in the face with a flaming bird. And I mean a literal flaming bird ala Nakoruru, not an explosion shaped like one, since Mr. Wilson–ha–has the power to control birds for purely expendable, amusing uses anyway.
Make it happen, Marvel! (And manage to disappoint us anyway!)
Reminder that Marvel had a gay super hero that did and then did not have aids based on each writer’s opinion about gays. Reminder that some of you still take plots in comics seriously.
Well, this thread has been eye-opening and disappointing.
Not because salty-ass dudes got all salty over Marvel daring to make a flagship character female: I expect that from the woman-hating gaming populace, and SRK is no different.
Not because Serpent posted my Facebook link: he’s a sad sack of shit who will do exactly that sort of thing because more than just a few imbeciles on this forum are giving him positive attention he doesn’t deserve. Fun exercise: find his crying spat in the wrestling thread because he posted stupid shit and got called on it by mods.
No, that’s not it.
It’s the people I thought were thoughtful folks playing the “It’s Lazy” card because something established is going in a different direction; that’s the eye-opening and disappointing part. Nevermind the fact that it’s making Thor female; it’s the audacity of comic creators to actually shake up the status quo – that very same status quo comic nerds claim to hate – and then getting shat on for deviating from the status quo.
If you’re wondering why ongoing monthly series from Marvel and DC are mostly stagnant and wretchedly devoid of any sort of depth, it’s because Marvel and DC brass know full well their audience; toxic and venomous to an insidious degree, disgustingly conservative in their tastes, unwilling to give anything new a fucking chance.
