Did you really call her "it". You're a huge piece of shit.

Did you even read what I wrote???? Love that you jump this. TBH I knew someone like you would. You may as well say "You called someone an asshole??? How dare you you?" Do you understand context? Do you even know what was said? You're a moron but I guess for people like you it can't go both ways right? Trans people are not some protected species immune from insult.

My girlfriend is trans and if she said something like this pos said I'd first break up then call her the same thing. Calling someone who doesn't agree with you a nazi is pretty insulting too but that's ok. Fact is arguing with a POS like you never gets anywhere so or solves anything because your immune to change....which is pretty conservative thinking now that I think about it. Anyhow I'm done. Rant away.

I'm sure your girlfriend would love to know that her basic validity and humanity is contingent on whether or not she agrees with you.

So you deliberately used "it" as an insult. With a trans girlfriend. Okay bud.

He supported Nazis. He was supported by Nazis. He carried Nazi ideals. He was a Nazi. Why don't you tell your girlfriend you called another trans person "it" because they said something you disagreed with and THEN tell them that you'd do that same to them if they had said it. See how that works out for you.

"Everyone I don't like is a Nazi"

Sad nazis make me happy.

I agree the use of "they" over and over, took me right out of the story - especially when Han could tell that the assassin was a female.

Yep, and this is the first time I have seen Segura do this in his writing. Very strange choice. Espeicailly for this scene.

How is using the term "they" altering the English language? It is literally a word in that language. It works perfectly in the context of when it was being used. It is used every day for millions of people non-discerning of gender. It's not a political statement. Why is that problematic or is it just something that confuses small boomer brains who can't spell "especially", especially well?

I'm not even responding to the stupidity of your response. Please stop conmmenting on my posts. Block me or something.

What part of MY response was stupid over your own review? Answer me those questions I presented and I will gladly stay away from your posts.

What question? The English language (and all others throughout the world) state that word "They" regards multiple poeple not a solitary individual. I, for one, will not be altering the traditional version of the English language. Now go away.

The term "they" has also been used for a long, long time to refer to someone of an unspecified gender. One example could be "are they a boy or a girl?" Yes, "they" can refer to multiple people as a group, but it, just like many other words, has more than one use.

The first documented use of "they" in reference to a singular noun was in the 1300s per Oxford English Dictionary. And I say people like fzanca making these reviews ought to return to tradition like the rest of us.

They can mean a single individual - "They are over there". For gods' sakes you're supposed to be a writer! I also love how you edited that comment and not your own previous misspelling. But a deal is a deal, however poorly you defended your veiled bigotry, bye now! #neflix

They can be used where the gender of the individual is unknown but if it's known then it's plural. Martin says the assassin was clearly female so it probably shouldn't have been used but some feel it's offensive to assume someones gender because a few believe gender is a choice. Stupid sounding to me but it's newer belief and each generation believes their way is the right way. If it takes you out of the story or not is just how you feel but it's not really bigotry. CALM.

"They can be used where the gender of the individual is unknown but if it's known then it's plural." this is just made up.

I guess you can google it. It has been changed RECENTLY to include nonbinary people as well because of all the uproar from certain people but until the last few years it didn't. Calling one person they is kinda the new made up thing here. Not really a big deal just true. As I said, things change and each generation makes new rules but you can't just change the past or the truth. I guess you can say traditionally it's true if it makes you feel better about it.

Anyway, this is all I'll say about it. Feel any way anyone wants it'll never be good enough. I'm done commenting or doing anything other than scoring comics. I see the same ol' faces on this site are still doing the same ol' thing and it's tiresome.

But I did Google it. Shakespeare used a singular they to refer to a man. It goes back that far. It's not something new and it's not about making new groups feel better about it. You're just wrong and clearly, your feelings are tied to that wrongness. May as well type out "sigh" while you're at it.

Nice I loved Immortal Thor so I think Ill like this one but have alot of comics Im catching up on first

Nice I will check this out

North is the best thing to happen FF in decades. I'm sorry that you aren't able to see this. I assume North hating on authoritarians made you sad.

Yes, the guy who gave Maus a 10 hates people hating on authoritarians. Mind ya business Karen.

antiwoke doofus' are so easily triggered. Sad. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Get 'em Chuck

Yeah wait a minute guys fthissite is correct. Amoebas giving Maus a 10 kind of breaks your argument to pieces. You should look through people's reviews before making assumptions and secondly even though I loved this ish there are some valid criticisms. One review in here talks about how Doom is usually more nuanced and always treats Latveria benevolently so to use their souls seems like a total destruction of the character. People on here should be allowed to not like a comic c'mon

lol, please, go look at the comments he left with his 1's and 2s. Just whining about 'wokeness' and identify politics. Him calling other people Karens is the cherry on top. Nobody whines more than bigots when the world doesn't constantly reflect them. Fuckin babies. Name dropping Maus is like a racist telling people they have a black friend so they can't possibly be racist..

To be clear, I'm talking about fthissite not Amoebas, I have no problem with Amoebas not liking North's take on FF, but clowns like fthissite review bomb anything that is "woke" (which to them means treating people who aren't white straight males with dignity) or critical of fascism.

I briefly looked through some of their 1s and 2s and I didnt see what your referring to? Amoebas specifically when he really gets into criticizing an issue really goes into the meat and uses references from old comics he knows his stuff. He's really good when he refers to FF stuff I respect that. Even if though, it's not my goal to police people's past reviews or thoughts. This review of his is not as thoughtful but when he really gets into it some good stuff to me.

Secondly if these guys bother you why give them any thought and do your own thing? Like this new ish has mostly good scores from users including me, why go out of your way to mess with the one or two guys who hated it? I think people should be allowed to express themselves so it leaves room for people to reflect. Like the first comment says "I assume North hating on authoritarians made you sad." That seems very childish to me

I want there too be people who have different opinions otherwise it's just a bubble of everyone saying the same thing and it becoming a non stop love fest. Sometimes critical reviews make me think of things from a different perspective more than a positive review does.

Like why didn't you guys debate with the review that gave this ish a 4.0, the guy claims he made a whole new account just to criticize this and gave his valid reasons. I think it would be more interesting to debate about the story rather than everyone trying to one up each other with modern day politics.

I've given like 2 books a 1 and said woke was a good thing. I don't know what they think review bombing is. I mean they're just throwing out the bigot card and outright lying or just not bothering to look into what they're saying. Some people just want to virtue signal and argue. I just hate Karen's being snide punks instead of simply saying "hey, what about this take on the book instead?". They're mad at being called out on their poor behavior and can only act offended even though they are

the offender. punk ass behavior

Yet you bought a copy and evidently read it! Glad you have money to burn on copies of comics that only enrage you.

Glad you have so much time on your hands, you spend it hate-commenting on other people's reviews. Pathetic.

Assuming you have a job, you spent a lot more time earning the money to buy a $4.99 comic than I did writing these comments.

😆

Why do you think he bought it? Your whole insult is based on him spending money on this garbage. You know most people who hate read, or probably review on here in general, read their books for free online right? Your being a Karen...and a dumb one at that. Stay in your own lane.

Pretty much my thoughts. However, I don’t hate read. I have been an X-Men fan for decades and I want these books to be good. When they are, they get good reviews from me. When they aren‘t, I call them out on the bullshit.

I didn't think you did. Just sounded like he was accusing you of doing so. Been reading x-men since I was 15 & now I'm 50 and I can say this is the worst time in X history IMO so most reviews are gonna be bad....especially by folks who remember the glory days. Hard to like tofu when you grew up eating steak.

Absolutely. :-D Yeah, I agree about this being the worst time in X history, and I lived through the horrible early 90s and the Morrison run, which I hated too, but at least he was a real writer, not an activist. I'm at a point now where I'm actually losing my interest completely. I'm still somewhat invested in Uncanny X-Men and Storm, because they feature some of my favorite X-Men, but I'm sure the upcoming Age of Revelation will f*ck up those books as well.

It's a great jump-off point, so thanks, Marvel.

I have to say the teeth gnashing of anti-woke haters makes me very happy. So keep it up dipshits.

Nothing interesting to say from the comic fluffer. Typical. lol 10's for everyone with no reason other than you have no brain to evaluate anything. Just take what they give you without question. Woke isn't the real problem, it's bad stories rolled up in a virtue burrito that has no flavor numb nuts. Woke is a good thing a lot of bad writers hide behind.

glad to hear you like my work!

Hiring woke activists instead of writers is a problem. The reason the stories are bad is because the emphasis is on indoctrination.

Go have a cry about it ok?

Isn't crying your job, snowflake?

stay mad bro

The anti-woke mob is easier to trigger than those they call snowflakes. All you have to do is call an individual, "they" in a panel and they lose their minds.

Sorry, all of the he/hims lose their minds. Crap I did it again.

Can you give an example of activism within the text?

Also, Morrison isn't he. They are they. And they are an activist.

LOL Not doing the pronoun game. Also not losing my mind over this nonsense.

Just imagine a world where the Germans didn't hate every person not like them. What a wonderfully better world that would be. Oh wait this isn't the 1940s anymore... Thought you would have learned your lesson the first two times.

Wow, playing the German card... that's really low. Seems like you're the one hating a whole group of people, not me. You may have noticed this isn't a war. And if you had read some of my other reviews, you knew that I love some books too - just not this one. You will probably not do that, but if I were you, I'd ask myself why a comic book review makes me so mad that I have to compare the reviewer to a Nazi.

It seems that card I played was justly laid when overall reasonings to dislike this era as you stated over several reviews is bigoted. It wasn't your review itself but your comments therein. And I don't hate all Germans. I just don't like ones that don't learn from the past and pass judgement on those different from them to the point of not wanting them to exist or interact with them. I'M not the one who's people within the last century annihilated swaths of people for being different.

I'll go as low as I need to when fighting against low class people who can't simply let others live how they want without trying to impose their will or eradicate them altogether. The vast majority of the people you're against in this scenario simply want to be addressed how they want. You don't have to agree with whether or not you feel genderfluidity or trans people exist. But why is it so hard to simply address someone as they, or her, or him as they choose?

Your people didn't have much of a problem sewing patches onto others in order to identify them how YOU wanted them identified. Now that someone wants that power for themselves you have a problem with it. Which is funny, it's like that's been the ENTIRE POINT OF THE X-MEN!

Hating on X-Men comics for being woke is honestly hilarious, it's like hating water for being wet. Duh, what did you think you were in for when you picked it up? Your problem, Chrissy, is that you never really understood what those old X-Men books were about. Sorry to break it to you, but they've always been woke.

I'm surprised you're from Germany, all the Germans I've met are moderate to progressive. Probably the result of shared cultural trauma at the hands of fascists who took over and destroyed their country and a collective desire to never repeat those acts of depravity. I assumed you were just a red state hick whose uneducated and bigoted parents taught you to hate from an early age. But you weren't forced to be like this, you got this way all on your own. My bad for making assumptions.

I have been following Chris for a while now and I have to say your derogatory name calling and character deconstruction is childish and barbaric. Chris is none of the things your ascribing to him, please see reason and do your own thing. Using the German rhetoric is really weird and you sound like a bully quite frankly.

Thanks, Gio. I didn’t even read Hex‘s and ChuckTurd‘s last comments, it’s probably just more of the same. I don’t feel the need to explain myself or justify my dislike of the current X-Men books. It’s just ridiculous that this has become a political and ideological discussion. Fact is, most fans hate the X-Men as a trans metaphor (no, it hasn’t always been this way - just ask Chris Claremont) and the forced inclusion of Ms. Marvel.

Isn't that inherently a political opinion that fans don't like the inclusion of new social perspectives?

I asked for examples of activism in this comic, if you could provide some, that'd be neat.

I don't mind the inclusion of new social perspectives, but this is better done by asking questions and making the reader think, not by preaching and lecturing. I'm sorry, I don't have the time to go into all the details of how woke ideology has infiltrated the comics industry - and you probably won't agree with me anyway if you haven't realised it yourself by now. I'd say the act of forcing Ms. Marvel into these books is an act of activism in itself.

I'd say continuing to read a book you clearly hate and posting repetitive reviews of each new issue is an act of activism too. You've reviewed all 20 issues of X-Men with an average score of 2.4. That's a little odd, no? Why do you read any Marvel books for that matter? You give Marvel books an average score of 4.7 over 100+ reviews. Why bother? Just stick with DC, your average score of 7.8 there clearly says that's your jam. So stop reading Marvel seems like a no brainer.

You made it a political and ideological discussion. You have a clear misunderstanding on the entire concept of the X-Men. They have always been political and ideological. Chris Claremont may agree that the X-Men didn't stand as a trans metaphor WHEN HE WAS WRITING IT. It stood for racism and persecution when Lee and Kirby started it, then was fleshed out more with Claremont. It then transitioned (scary word I know) into a metaphor for the AIDS crisis and anti-gay sentiment. The message evolves.

Why do you care what I do or think? Go play somewhere else, kids.

Chris Y, do you think the inclusion of minority characters in Giant-Size X-Men #1 was activism? Do you think that was preaching and lecturing? What exactly is woke ideology? What are its tenets?

I didn’t say that the inclusion of minority characters is activism. I said the inclusion of this particular character is an act of activism. If you want to learn more about woke ideology and how it has infiltrated mainstream comics, the YouTube channel Thinking Critical is a great starting point.

Why not just tell me yourself? Why is Ms. Marvel's inclusion activism specifically?

Thinking Critical is a terible example of learning anything. He gets his facts wrong constantly and talks about comics he has never read, because he intentionally or inentenally gets the contents wrong.Plus he also rarely adresses facts, that do not help his cause, making his argument weaker or just aimed at people that are not informed. He is a bad faith prophet, even if i agreed (which i dont) with his conclusion i would not trust his judgement.

Okay. I’m wrong about everything. The Giant-Size issues featuring Ms. Marvel are the greatest X-Men story ever told. Happy now?

Why do you fear going into more detail(s) about your own opinion(s) with your own words? I feel like most, if not all, of the users in this thread would have more respect for you if you stopped giving non-answers when asked to go more in depth about your criticisms and whatnot.

I don’t fear going into more detail, I just don’t see a reason to explain myself, because it feels like people here are trying to manipulate me into some kind of “gotcha” situation. I’m also not primarily interested in earning anybody’s respect.

Anyway… the inclusion of Kamala Khan into the X-Men books is completely inappropriate. Although I enjoyed her first series, she has become THE character for Marvel to promote diversity and wokeness (see the NYX series for how the writers depicted her as a self-righteous, insufferable activist). What makes it even worse, is that her new status as a mutant feels completely unnatural and forced.

As if that wasn’t enough, making her the focus character of these Giant-Size issues feels completely unearned and is a slap in the face of any X-fan. If you don’t see the problem, you probably haven’t been a reader of the X-books for longer than two years.

The X-books haven’t always been a metaphor for minorities. And although I don’t mind if people interpret the stories that way, tthey should remain open to interpretation, not manifestos of DEI politics.

The X-Books have ALWAYS been a metaphor for minorities and marginalized communities. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were Jewish. They were persecuted, their families were persecuted. They created X-Men to reflect that. You probably haven't been a reader of X-books for their entire history.

I admit, that would make a lot of sense, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately, it’s not true. Lee and Kirby came up with the mutant concept because they didn’t want to invent more origin stories. Stan Lee actually admitted that. Now, it’s true that the concept lent itself to stories about minorities and persecution for being different. However, the metaphor was still open to interpretation. They didn’t shove the indoctrination down our throats, which is what they are doing now.

It’s funny you created this profile just to crap on my review and push the average rating of this book.

Yeah I wasn't crazy about this ish but I don't think Sue is the new leader like that. When Doom sent them to different times she just happened to be the one sent farther into the future. Then in #2 if it wasn't for Reed doing that crazy diamond stuff she would be dead. The art here sucked but by ish #2 I think it improved. But so far it seems like a calmer run than last. Last run had a lot of good stuff

I didn't get up to this ish yet but where I am yes this Superman run is damn good 👍
