No More Mutants or how Marvel continues to mess with Fox

[Doc McCoy]

Quicksilver was arguably the highlight of Fox's X-Men: Days of Future Past , he wasn't quite such a big deal in the Avenger's sequel. So what is Marvel to do? Well, as of tomorrow, neither Quicksilver nor his sister, the Scarlet Witch, will be the children of Magneto any longer and in fact, neither will be mutants any longer. With Uncanny Avengers #4, Marvel will re-retcon their retcon and Pietro and Wanda will go back to their original origins of simply being the children of Django and Marya Maximoff. But wait, they won't just be their children, they will be their ordinary HUMAN children, that were given their powers by an experiment conducted by the High Evolutionary.

 

No more mutants, indeed.

So dumb.

[FineCollector]

Money-grubbing scumbags. I don't accept this.

Marvel is screwing up their best characters in the X-Men all for money. Killing of Wolverine and Deadpool. Getting rid of mutants. Disney Marvel blows and I refuse to buy any of their new comics.

Wait a minute-the mutant glut is over??

[Azkaban]

Marvel you're breaking my heart one dumb move after another

[Unca Ben]

I blame Ron Perelman.

This, in a nutshell, is why I gave up buying mainstream comics some years ago.

 

I DO understand the need to occasionally update a character for modern sensibilities, after all I've been reading comics for 55 years.

 

But to change a character in complete essence, or to retcon just for spite?

 

Nope. There are still many MANY thousands of comics I haven't read yet, and many MANY thousands of comics that I would enjoy reading again.

 

Plenty to keep me amused in my declining years without suffering through all this horsepuckey.

I quit Marvel along time ago. Occasionally I will stick my foot in the Marvel pool and add a marvel book into my pull list. It seems every time I do the story crosses over into another title.

First I tried the Hulk, then Spiderman, then the GOTG. I'm not into crossovers anymore. This mutant thing is just another chapter in their history. People won't like it but will still continue to feed the machine.

[Mr. Hog]

Just for the record, I blame Kav.

[Comicopolis]

So, their original parents are their original parents again?

 

Shocking.

[Chip Cataldo]

This is nothing compared to how the FF have been treated, so shut yer yaps Mutie-lovers.

I LOVE what Marvel is doing these days. Saves me money for the older comics that I really want. GO MARVEL, GO!!!!

 

 

The Marvel Comics I loved has been dead for about 20 years anyway

 

[Sauce Dog]

I'm fine with this. Especially since it fits the characters history in regards to High Evolutionary.

Comics basically support films since the companies don't make much money from print. As such, Fox is the competition... Would any one here support their competitor with your own products? Unfortunately, it's just the way it all panned out...

Personally, I can't believe anyone with an IQ above 30 is still buying this drek.

 

I have a theory that few people are actually this stupid, and Disney has 50K hired shoppers go out every month to pick up comics and maintain the illusion that they still matter.

They make nothing from new comic sales, and the only reason that they are still on the LCS stands is to maintain the illusion that comic books are still a viable market with the "growth demographics" and keep all those investor dollars flowing into Disney.
