Comics Enough crying, lets take our fight to Joey Q!

[moraldeficiency]

Why are you comparing yourself to PETA? Whatever their methods, whatever their presentation, their ideology is in a way meaningful, directly affecting human and animal life. Sorry kiddo, but that doesn't really match up with Spider-Man. So he 'ruined' your favourite character. Be a man and suck it up.

Nah, PETA, are a bunch of whiney little *****es too. That "whatever their methods the results are good" is the same logic terrorists, religious supremicists, racists, the russians and nazi's used to justify their atrocities.

If you don't conduct yourself and your views respectfully and just go for shock value than no one except insane people will ever even listen to your postition let alone have their minds changed regarding any issue.

Here's the right type of letter to send to voice actual dissent:



Dear Marvel,

Please return Peter Parker to a pre-OMD version. I cannot accept this current version as I do not believe deals with the devil to be in line with the high standards Peter Parker the hero has always exemplified and the type of role model he has been to me.

Until that time I, unfortunately, cannot continue to read or recommend any Spider-Man comics currently produced. Please correct this so I can get back to reading, and buying, my favorite comic.

Eagerly awaiting the return of the real Peter Parker,

Your name here.


^send that letter every issue and you'll actually be regarded as a sane person whose views might matter. Rant and name call and demand things and you just look like a nutcase that no one would want to listen too, thus invalidating the very points you were trying to make.

I love PETA! Every once in a while they send nude(painted like animals) chicks to our Market Square to protest. Nothing better than hittin' the Hot Dog stand and watching a protest!

I do like the naked chick thing but the paint is just too much.

^ Why is it that people always take a good thing just one step too far...

 

[iloveclones]

Sometimes they put them in cages, too, for all of you out there into that sort of thing.

I don't like the current direction, but I sure don't want to see anyone treated disrespectfully or fired, for heaven's sakes.

 

[ZollyBeckerShow]

All I am suggesting is we act with hostility towards Marvel till they undo OMD. We all agree basically.

 

[iloveclones]

No, we all don't. Not even a little.

 

[Themanofbat]

No, we all don't. Not even a little.

Agreed...

Not with the hostility no, and not towards marvel cause I love me my capt., iron fist and herc. Joey Q has done some great things for marvel and while I do think he's gotten crazy with editorial mandates and the same event-o-rama/special covers/tie-ins he was brought in to fix overall he's done well.

It's fairly safe to say I hate what he's done as much as anyone on here, but I don't want Marvel to lose money or for people that honestly are trying to get fired just for having different ideas and taking risks, I just want them not to go overboard. We the fans are supposed to check the creators, let them know what works or not, evaluate and criticize but we're not some avengers of righteous stories here. As much as I think Marvel is overstepping their bounds as responsible creators we would be just as bad trying to force through open hatred our own viewpoints.

Here's how I boycott: I wrote a calm and reasonable letter, I stopped buying any comic with Peter Parker in it, I stopped promoting or recommending any spider-man stories to anyone and I voice my paticular dislike in here a place devoted to exactely that sort of thing. I don't want to make anyone's life uncomfortable or show hostility towards a company I've always loved, I just want to keep them in check a bit. That's a fan's responsibility, nothing more. Anything else falls into the category of extrimist nutjobs.

Your hearts in the right place, kinda, but calm the hate down man, I'm upset too but we need to not let that make us psychos the way hulk fans are or we're not better than them (shudder).

How about we agree that this thread sucks, and call it a day.

As to how old I am, I was 10 during the clone saga- I couldn't do anything to stop it.
But it ended after two years. Im not wating anymore. Marvel owns these intellectual properties but they belong to us. They publish for us, they are not selling comics to new readers. They pay for everything with their film licences, If one their films does a "Mallrats", the House of Ideas will be severely injured. After marvel's restructuring post clone they had a good 97-99 run, finnaly becoming truely great after 9/11. This was due to the Ultimates, JMS, Grant Morrison, and Bendis. In 2004 they fell into old habits and turned bad again.
I with your help intend to save the House of Ideas by burning it down with Iron Man's failure.
With the fallout from our boycott either Marvel will see thimgs our way or LionsGate will bail them out, even if Marvel can't be saved, Joey Q will suffer for the alienation of his audience.
All I suggest is when we see Iron Man next week we pay to see another film- then simply go to the theater where Iron Man is showing.
