You can't tell which reasons I dislike it for? Odd, I just fired off a bunch right there. None of which had anything to do with misogyny. Which is a joke in and of itself, I don't hate women.
Please point out where any of my criticisms of the characters were focused on their skin colour or their gender, because you didn't "clip" anything of the sort. Go ahead, I'll wait.
So then we should have more minority groups in comics since theyre not well represented, most of comics is still white dudes, so clearly more of them have to get replaced. Then it's not tokenism because it'd be a serious attempt at making the comics world reflect the real worlds diversity.
I'm stoked you agree with having many many more diverse characters in comics as opposed to the small number we have now.
Except that's not my response. You deliberately left off half the sentence. It's about as honest as if you claimed I'd said "Slavery is a strong system for supporting an economy" and thus was a supporter of slavery, leaving off the rest of the sentence where I'd said "though the human rights abuses inherent to its action make it untenable in any ethical society."
You don't get to just edit down someone's statements until you can make it look like they said something "bad". That's basically just lying.
By your definition tokenism is a "the practice of making only a perfunctory or symbolic effort to do a particular thing, especially by recruiting a small number of people from underrepresented groups in order to give the appearance of sexual or racial equality within a workforce."
So the issue is too small a number to give the "appearance" of equality. So clearly the answer is to get tons more diversity, so it's actual equality instead of the appearance of it. Therefore the only answer is way more diverse characters. Unless you want less diversity, in which case make that argument.
Thus far the only thing quasi decent that came out of DC since ...since... Dark Knight Rises is the Wonder Woman "cameo" in BvS.
To be honest DC really needs to hire the guys who fucking cut their trailers to fucking cut their movies too, because it's pretty obvious that the only fucking competent people working for DC are they guys who have to cut their trailers.
I have hopes for Wonder Woman, from what I've seen in the trailer...but again...it's a DC trailer.
P.S Oh yeah... and Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad was ...to quote Deadshot... Gangsta and a Mean Lady.
Its like people who argue for "State's Rights". Do you honestly and passionately believe in states rights? I understand the argument but why is it so often used by people who really just seem to be mad that the Federal Government won't let you be a shithead anymore.
Do you honestly and passionately believe that The Mighty Thor is poorly written? Or are you just thinking up reasons to shit on the comic because you hate that your Golden Boy lost his mallet to a girl? I really can't tell.
Here you go:
I'm surprised you didn't use everyone's favourite insult "SJW". I admire your restraint.
Unlike a vast majority of posters in this thread, I presume, I actually read these comics and most of them are very good despite what people are saying here. I am fine with diversity in comics because young children and adolescence read these comics. They need to know that their diversity is part of the "normal" spectrum of the human experience.
We transmit our cultural beliefs and values in our art. Thus, Marvel is not expressing the belief of, "White people are crazy and terrible!" Rather, they are saying through their art that diversity is part of the human experience and these diverse human beings deserve just as much as white people to be represented in art.
If you are openminded, you should read the first volume of Jason Aaron's The Mighty Thor featuring a female Thor. It's amazing.
Skoldier for life.
I already outlined my dislike of the female Thor series. What do you want me to do? Explain it again? Or are you just fishing? Hoping that I lose my shit and go off on some racially charged diatribe about "the blacks" and "the womens" invading muh comic books. Keep fishing in that case because I don't need to use some reductive bullshit to explain why something is bad.
Also what the fuck does "State's Rights" have to do with anything? Especially since I'm not even American. Stay on point.
That's not a criticism of the character, those are in the previous half dozen sentences. That's a criticism of idiot shills.
A more important question: How does Marvel include more diversity without "forcing" it onto their readers? Why are some white people demanding that diversity be displayed only on their terms? "Oh you can have your diversity in your comics, but make sure that it follows THESE guidelines so that you're not forcing your diversity onto me kthx."

In my book, there are two ways to look at it.
1. Time constraints forced their hand. Which changes the question to "Who's bright idea to cut that and not shit like the guy talking about being unable to piss, the justice League teasers and like 40% of the media shit?"
2. They finally discovered how to make DLC for movies. Fuck them in the ass.
