They're a comic book company with a very vocal fanbase. Marvel has always tried to convey themselves as more than just a business. A place where they openly talk to their readers.
And with the whiny wankers that frequent this message board and hundreds more like it make it hard for these writers and artists to keep a straight face.
There are a lot bigger things in the world to go and cry about. Like a war in Iraq or our messed up economy. But that takes a back seat because 'Civil War' got delayed.
Maybe there should be a Fanboy registration act, upon signing you are no longer allowed to whine like a little girl about late books. All those who don't sign get their keyboards taken away and are left with their virginity for the rest of their lives.
I wanna play too daddy!
"There are a lot bigger things to cry about than other people complaining about something. Like terrorism in other countries (America's not the only one on the planet with it boyo) or a messed up culture where people aren't held accountable for their actions.
Maybe there should be a Fanboy-in-denial registration act, where you are hunted down if you are a fanboy for the writers instead of a fanboy for the comics and defend their right to....
not do their job instead of making complaints about the lateness or quality of their work and if you don't sign...you get fired...out of a cannon into the sun."
And I didn't think we really had to cover this, but I guess there's no accounting for common sense. I'm not saying the people who insulted Millar and Mcniven were right. In fact, I know Darth and I both have said we don't care about the delay anymore because while it was annoying and not handled well...what's done is done (I think hippy and others have too, but not looking to speak for anyone).
But two wrongs don't make a right. Just because a client insults you doesn't mean you get to insult them back. Especially since the fans
weren't talking about Hitch.
And a few pages back someone made an excellent point as far as your ludicrous "there are more important things in the world." When I come here, I come here to talk about comics. In my everyday life, I regularly try to reach people and make them see flaws in the government, oil industry, social preconceptions, etc.
So heaven forbid I want to just come and talk about comics or, when someone does something stupid, ***** about comics a little.
So tell me, why aren't you out there protesting the war or supporting it, or trying to fix the economy instead of replying to us boyo?
And just to really stick it in your craw...I've actually gotten laid while reading comics. So why don't you go find Hitch and you two can complain about those "unfair fanboys and their expecting that we actually do our jobs and meet deadlines like the rest of the world has to."

Not sure on the physics on that one, were you reading it together whiel she's bent over a desk or what?
