They are for Marvel like the republicans are for Fox.

Agree or Disagree?
 
I guess. I like the Joe Fridays thing they do. Most marvel news shows up there.
 
Disagree. People at the Hype for whatever reason feel animosity towards Newsarama and I don't get it. I'm a member of both boards.
 
I like freedom of expression and speech over anything I do, even talking about comic books. I don't want Joey Q telling Newsarama, he doesn't want a particular thread out there because it spoils another one of his dip**** ideas

Happens all the time, although its not as bad as alvaro's comic boards, where PAD reigns supreme

i'll agree. but that's because i think marvel's better. :)
 
Just to give you folks an idea how much Newsarama is in Marvel's pocket, they have an online poll "What Is Your Reaction to Spider-Man Revealing His Secret ID to the World?"

So far the results are:

*Awesome! About time! I can't wait to see where this goes! 664 (18.31%)

*Interesting...Have my reservations, but I'll give Marvel a chance at this. 1442 (39.76%)

*Uh oh... not sure I like this. I fear it could be a bad move. 721 (19.88%)

*How dare they!? Worst thing to happen to Spidey in a long time. Hate it! 497 (13.70%)

*I really don't care strongly either way. 303 (8.35%)
 
how does it make them in Marvel's pocket just because they don't overwhelmingly hate a story? people do have different opinions, ya know, and they're just as valid as yours.

and anyway, the results of that poll are completely moderate, it doesn't even prove what you're trying to say

True. However, there are far more people on those boards who usually support what Marvel does, so that should be taken into consideration when you look at their polls.

and anyway, the results of that poll are completely moderate, it doesn't even prove what you're trying to say

If you add up choice number 1 and choice number 2 (both of which are essentially mean you accept the unmasking of Spider-Man) compared to choice number 3 and choice number 4 (both of which essentially mean you are against the unmasking of Spider-Man) there are more people on those forums who support the unmasking of Spider-Man than those who do not. Besides, even though option 2 is not quite as supportful as option 1, it still leans more towards unmasking. The real moderate position is actually choice number 5.
 
Here is another web site that you have to worry about expressing your negative opinion about Marvel at:

http://www.comicboards.com/smb/

I just wrote a long post about critizing Marvel and some of the fans out there and it was mysteriously deleted.

Here is the post that they deleted:

Spare me the whole ‘Taking Spider-Man in a new direction” garbage because we all know that's crap. Joe did not revel Spider-Man’s identity for the sake of the story or the character, he reveled it for shock value and shock value only. You can see that in how lazy the story was written and how badly it was staged. Peter’s reasoning for coming out made no sense what so ever and it goes against everything the character stood and fought for because he always put the lives of his family first and he would never betray them for the loyalty of a friend or the politics of the public. For Peter to do what he did was completely out of character for him because he of all people would have known better to do such a stupid thing.

Its funny to read the dumb arguments some fans make ( if you can call them fans) that what Peter did was in character because of the motto “ With Great Power Comes great Responsibility” but anybody with half a brain would know that if you are one of the most hated super heroes around by bad guys and the public( He was even more hated than the mutants in the marvel universe at one point, so much so that they all thought that he was a mutant and sent X factor after him). Your first and foremost responsibility is to protect yourself and your family. Peter knows this very well with the people he had loss in his life and for him to play Russian roulette with their lives now (especially with him being a public school teacher of all things) is not only out of character but it shows that Marvel did not think this though at all and only did this for shock value.

Now I know that some of you will try to insult me with the dumb argument that I’m a crybaby and I have no life and I don’t embrace change, etc, etc ( The same Zombie mentality that you find in cults or The Republican Party.) but let me tell you something, I have being collecting comics for almost 25 fives years and Spider-Man had always had a special place in my heart and what Marvel did to him is the equivalent of taking Babe Ruth to the middle of Yankee Stadium and blowing his brains out right in front of his fans.

It’s a disgrace and everybody who had a hand in it (including the writers) should be ashamed of themselves.



Now do you think that i went too far?:confused:

That would be alvaro's censorship boa... er... comic boards where nobody is allowed to disagree with the resident Marvel celebritries and if you post spoilers, it damn well better be from an issue that is already out !!! :mad:
 
I'd say yes.

I was banned for speaking my mind on how Joey Q sucks and it took a matter of minutes before they banned me.

Fox News isnt biased, its just that ALLLLL the other news networks are sooooo far up the lefts ass, that it seems as if Fox News is biased, because, they are, infact FAIR and BALANCED.

That doesn't mean anything at all. They could be more towards DC and not really be into Marvel that much, they could be pro-Marvel and not be into Spider-Man that much, or *gasp* they could be into Spider-Man but just have a differing opinion on the unmasking than you.

anyone that actually believes that is sooo wrong it's not funny.

True.

Also true.

or *gasp* they could be into Spider-Man but just have a differing opinion on the unmasking than you.

Well perhaps it means one of the following then:

*Who cares! It's going to be retconned in a about a year and a half anyway. Anyone who thinks this is permanent are a bunch of fools!"
*"It's typical of Marvel to pull a stunt like this, so I'm not the least bit surprised."
*"Oh well, it's just a comic book, life goes on and those who read comics are a bunch of morons anyway. Besides, I like the movie better."
*"Spider-Man unmasked in public? When did this happen?"
*"You people are morons. Get a life!"
*"Anyone who picked option 1 or 2 take things WAY TOO SERIOUSLY."
*"What's a comic book?"

Then again, maybe they didn't read the options carefully enough or were too afraid to actually put down a response. Or they could be moderates, which by their very nature do not care one way or the other or try not to take a stand on anything.

You've confused your own question. Your TITLE shows that you think NEWSARAMA to Marvel is like FOX to the republicans, but your post implies NEWSARAMA are to Marvel what REPUBLICANS are to fox. totally different, but totally confusing i know.

I think they kiss marvel's arse, so yes this probably is a fair comparison and they are fox (and not republican!)

So, um... how long have you been with the Nazi party? JOKE. swear. You're mistaking an attempt at not being biased and attempting to be good journalists, while rightfully keeping the current government on their toes as being overly pro-liberal. In contrast it sounds like fox prefers to kiss the governments toes. But hey im going on pop-culture, comedians and the odd Fox network show or broadcast i watch. Over here in li'l ol' england rupert murdoch own our big digital/satellite network BSkyB and theyre alright. theyre news broadcasts win awards and stuff, plu without SkySports the English Premiership (soccer) would be worth **** all.

Newsaram never seem to get negative with JQ. i can't understand it. And yet their reviewers nearly always give marvel the upper hand over DC. hmmm...
