Why do you keep posting about politics in super hero movie threads? I understand your a Trump supporter and have a right to your opinion, but posting your political views in every super hero movie thread? Why?

For a better example look at Cho during the World War Hulk storyline. Not only is he the the Hulk's last defender (and even challenges the Hulk to a fight) but proves his point. The Hulk basically admits Cho's right while proving Cho's theory wrong. This is great writing. Cho never intended to take down the Hulk he wanted Hulk/Banner to see what they were doing and stop. If you compare this to Cho/Hulk's fight with the Black Panther or how he's written in Champions he's now an ignorant teen who responds and doesn't plan/think ahead. It's a huge disservice to Cho's character and an example of bad writing...

Also I think it's less of a political agenda, and more of a poorly thought out attempt to sell comics to young people. When sales tanked the higher-ups at Marvel quickly pointed the finger at the diversity initiative and at this point have rolled most of it back. If it was some kind of political stand they would have made more of an attempt to stand by it, or at least found another scapegoat. That said, I don't believe diversity in-and-of-itself tanked sales, it was (as your example shows) that the comics were mostly not good. By and large people won't read shitty comics just because of politics, and won't reject good comics because of it either. If Falcon-Cap was as good of a story as Bucky-Cap it would have sold. |

Rausch isn't "posting his political views" in here, he's commenting on how Marvel got uber-political with their comic book product and how it mostly backfired on them. |

And I don't care if you love or hate Trump. The point is that Marvel made a point of taking Cap, crapping on his character by making him a literal Nazi, and then creating a story that directly compares NaziCap to Trump. People don't actually believe how bad Marvel has gotten and assume I'm just reading into things because of my beliefs. Uh, no. Here's an example: NSFW
