Keep digging Marvel.

 

Female Thor.

Muslim Ms. Marvel.

Black Captain America.

 

(:

 

Wasn't it recently revealed that the market share is now:

 

DC > Image > Marvel

 

Why do they need to keep reinventing already existing characters? It's like remaking classic movies. rantrant

 

Yet in a previous thread everyone mentioned how the films have been great for Marvel comics

 

:facepalm:

Nope.

 

It's Disney working their magic on Marvel and building new generations of fans that will buy comics, and be excited by comics long into the future because they see themselves represented by superheroes on the page and on the screen. Getting kids and teens to read comics is always going to be the target market (as it should be), and Marvel are absolutely doing it the right way.

doh!

 

Sorry, I find stuff like this more patronizing than "empowering".

 

It certainly can be, if presented as "Look! Women! Saving the world the world on their own! Without any help! :o "

 

The fact that such a team is even described as 'all female' tells you a lot about the imbalance that nevertheless still exists though. It's amusing to contrast a new X-title being marketed as 'all male!', or the new character find of 2015 being 'He-Phoenix! Like Phoenix, but a man!' Imagine how empowered we'd all feel.

While the others do not make much sense, Wilson's Ms. Marvel has little to nothing to do with Carol Danvers. Surely it’s something new, not a masterpiece but one of the very few series which doesn’t have the problem you underline. It’s the only title I read.

 

What I find stupid is the way characters seem to be interchangeable: obviously most writers do not know them properly or do not know them at all (well, neither Millar, Slott or others did, so…) and they throw them in like they are using a character just invented by themselves, or worse.

 

Aside from this, I don’t know who is the artist on that promotional piece, but surely it’s bad: all the female characters look the same. Not even Manara with his "homogeneity" in drawing women in his X-Men managed to reach such an extreme.

Why not create new characters instead of alienating existing fans?
