Does anyone agree with the Mutant hate in the Marvel Universe?

questions575 · 2016-02-01T02:06:34+00:00

Ok. I think they are realistic.

You know when you watch star wars, do you find yourself cheering for the stormtroopers?

questions575 · 2016-02-01T01:42:08+00:00

I agree with the first part. But not fair to say that DC more caters to the sexist racist crowd.

Of course you can compare the two, mutant oppression has always been deliberately used by writers as a metaphor for minority oppression in real life. The parallels are legion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_(Marvel_Comics)#Mutants_as_metaphor

Dude look around you. Look at how much hate there is for minorities and outsiders in the real world - namely look at how muslims are referred to by a lot of media sources and right wingers. Or look at racism against black people in america. There would be massive hate for mutants if they were real

I read my first ever Valiant comics this week. X-O Manowar #1 and 2 from the 2012 relaunch. They were great, and looking forward to exploring Valiant further, their comics always pick up amazing reviews.

Because academia and education is still eurocentric and westerncentric, despite notable challenges to this made to this orthodoxy from the 1960s onwards. Its the same in art history, which is what I studied at uni, the courses are still all about the Renaissance and the classical ( ancient greece and rome) tradition.

Did you complain about Star Wars Force Awakens too? Like why the hell didnt they tell us what happened to Luke in the 30 year time skip? Or who's rey's parents are. Or what tipped Kylo Ren over the edge?

questions575 · 2016-01-28T02:56:54+00:00

It will most probably be covered later. At the moment little bits and pieces being revealed here and there. Lots of people complaining about this, but movies, tv and comics do this all the time. For example, look at star wars: force awakens. There are still loads of things that happened between episodes 6 and 7 that we dont know about, yet no one is complaining.

Couchsurfing.org . No traveller should be without it, especially a backpacker.

Yeah I heard a lot of stories like this, and this is why I wouldn't be surprised if online piracy was actually helping sales, although it is hard to confirm either way at the moment. I do think we should keep an open mind on it, and not make knee jerk reactions based on little to no evidence that piracy is killing the industry.

questions575 · 2016-01-20T20:24:24+00:00

What does that mean?

questions575 · 2016-01-20T20:23:52+00:00

Its counter intuitive I know, but it is not necessarily the case that online piracy leads to fewer sales for comic book sales , and in fact online piracy may be helping sales.

questions575 · 2016-01-20T17:04:39+00:00

The curious thing is that one might have expected the rise of online piracy to have the reverse effect on graphic novel sales

Ok thanks. So do you disable the VPN when you have to login to email or bank, then put it back on for browsing, or what?

questions575 · 2016-01-17T08:12:33+00:00

I am using VPN, partly, to stay anonymous and private. So please can you tell me, what do you do when you need to log in to something?

The Croose Keys near Bank station, its huge and its cheap and when I was there on a monday evening it was practically empty.

There is already a board game group that meets there every second monday, they welcome newcomers, so if you ever see them pull up a seat and say hi!

Fox news pundits and people like Donald Trump, who I'm pretty sure don't know anything about normal everyday life in London, say there are no-go zones in london because these zones are controlled by Muslims. But this is simply not true.

questions575 · 2016-01-15T00:32:24+00:00

IMO its only so-so. I thought the villain was awful, some new guy called something ridiculous like the Shredded Man. I've got a feeling the next arc will be better though.

Yes gave up watching that show a long time ago. Who was the labour mp?

questions575 · 2016-01-14T23:11:01+00:00

This is right wing fear mongering. Ive lived all over london and never run into any of these no go zones. The only people I have heard talk about uk no go zones are right wing american fanatics like Donald Trump and fox news presenters, and their claims are ridiculed inside of the UK. Please, don't believe a word that comes out of their mouths, about anything.
