Just the phrase "Secret Wars" will turn me away. I'm still angry from when The Beyonder simply deleted the New Mutants in Secret Wars II. A pointless chapter in a pointless series.
I want to be like "that was 30+ years ago!" but it's not like I've let go of the Spider-man Clone Saga.
Ugh. Really getting sick of the "SJW is killing comics" movement latching onto YouTuber Diversity & Comics. They're treating his work like gospel. And of course, whenever I try arguing the fact that Marvel's events and reboots are what's driving away customers, they're all like, "NUH UH! It's 'cause of SJWs!"
I made the mistake of clicking on a video from that fucking channel because I misunderstood what it was going to be about, and then Youtube wouldn't stop recommending that twit's videos until I purged my Youtube history. I don't remember how the video title fooled me, but I remember the next video up was about Squirrel Girl, the title being something like "How is this a comic?" Well, doucheshmuck, it's a story told sequentially through images and words.
But it also goes to the idea that comic = superhero story, which Squirrel Girl barely is, because it's a humor book. You know, because other genres of comic book used to be pretty popular before comic book became synonymous with superheroes, thus devaluing the medium in some ways. That said, because the Youtuber is a racist, sexist pile of shit and not actually interested in what's going on with comics, I'm sure he wouldn't question "How is this a comic?" over something like Zdarsky's Spectacular Spider-man even though it uses a lot of the same storytelling and humor techniques as Squirrel Girl.
I'm an idiot.
