I just learned that the parents of the May "Mayday" Parker version of Spider-Girl were murdered in Marvel's latest Spider-centric crossover event, leaving her and her little brother orphans. That's right -- in the one universe were Peter and Mary Jane were still happily married, with children leading relatively stable lives, they had to die to facilitate the hack writing of a sadomasochistic fantard-turned-writer.
Here I thought that maybe -- maybe -- I could escape the garbage cluttering up the main Marvel Universe by sticking with out-of-continuity storylines, but no -- the garbage just had to spill over into the other Marvel universes, had to contaminate everything and everyone around it until the entire Marvel Multiverse becomes a quagmire of murder and rape.
So y'know what? Fuck Marvel. FUCK. MARVEL. Fuck their comics, fuck their movies, fuck their TV shows, fuck their Star Wars, fuck the artists and writers who continue to work for them, FUCK THEM ALL.
From here on out, I'm boycotting that whorehouse charnel of a company and every single product that comes rolling off their bloodstained assembly line.
Yeah this is why I am sticking to the films and I am only buying my sister back issues of SpiderGirl that I have checked out. Spidergirl is her favorite character ever and this would drive her nuts.
You want to know why the movies are doing so well and yet the comics are selling so poorly, it's because the comics pull this kind of garbage that you will never see in the films.
I am going to send a message by only seeing the Marvel films that don't have this kind of garbage in them in the hopes that someone will get the message.
I really hope once all these idiots who started writing comics in the late 80s die of old age they are replace by people who came to comics through the films and have no interest in these so called "adult" storylines.
As an adult do you know what type of story lines I can relate to the most? It's not the ultra dark ones it's one the ones that focus on characters growing up and having to deal with adult problems like raising their kids and making their relationship work while coping with being a superhero. This is one reason I loved the comic Tom Strong. Go ahead and read it and tell me that wouldn't be a much better general direction to take Spider-Man.
I gave up on Marvel comics years ago and this just ensures that I will never go back.
