What the hell happened to Peter Parker?
Guess he wasn't PC enough.
After this, I'm pretty convinced our society is truly f*cked [Bang]
Well, Marvel comics were flushed a long time ago in my opinion anyway.
Heck, the last comic book I read was "Sgt Rock" so that should tel you something there. [Tooth]
First superman denounced his citzenship now this, atleast we have the hulk and capt america.
Don't worry-they will probably make them gay lovers.................Quote:

surprised it's a "he" or is he now homosexual? Is that word still ok to use? Am I supposed to say he's gay? or is gay offensive to happy people? [Bang]
TOTAL BULLSHIT! Comics are almost as bad as Hollywood now. Create a damn new character don't mess with Spiderman...
I guess nothing is sacred...
That’s not Peter Parker, that’s Leroy Gonzales.Quote:

Cmon guys, that new Spiderman/hero clearly resembles Obama.
Well, what do you expect? I've read the the people behind Marvel Comics are quite the lefties and this is what lefties do, kill off all our heroes and give us new PC heroes to create diversity, equality and fairness. Besides, when you consider that it seems that Marvel Comics is less of a comic book company and more of a movie idea machine, I'm sure all of this plays into their goal to have Hollywierd glob on to even more of their characters. Come on, make him white, make him black, make him hispanic, but mixed? That screams "Obama" and "diversity". I'm sure gay is next.
I hadn't noticed the Obama resemblance, but that really does look similar doesn't it?
And all of the concurrent webs that go with.............................Quote:

I'm of a mixed background. Black, German, English and proud as hell of all of them. Any problems with that....pm me. It's a comic book for christs sake. The conspiracy theorist on this board would make Rosie O'donnel proud. Comic books have followed cultural trends since their inception. From wonder woman to daredevil. None of this is new
You think the description of the character reflects a "cultural trend"?
I think it's a comic book. I also think this country is more culturally blended than it was 50 years ago. Marvel or whoever else is all about selling their comics. They throw shock value in Superman dying, super hero vs, superhero etc to sell more copies. This had it's intended consequence......we are talking about it on co-AR. This is better than they could have possibly hoped.
Actually Comics are worse than Hollywood and have been for a long time.Quote:

Actually that's a pretty good point. Referring to RMACs last post.
Come on now, most the main comic dudes are still white so keep your head up.
Why not create a new superhero with the PC qualities of Mr Gonzales, rather than kill off Mr Parker and replace him as Spidey? Im not a racist, not anti gay, but I continue to see small increments of this stuff being shoved down my throat. Its like standing under a helicopter and letting someone stack magazines under your feet until the obvious happens.
I'll admit. I've read a couple comics in my day. A lot of them Batman, Iron Man, Captain America have been replaced. This is not the first time.
Right. They also tried to replace James Bond with Undercover Brother. :)

About 20 years ago, Marvel tried to re-boot all their titles with a '2099' series. 'Spiderman 2099' was an interesting comic I collected and still have. It was the one title out of that series that survived for more than a year. Eventually, they gave up their attempt at this series and moved in other directions.
It's all about generating revenue. You all know that!
OH MY GOD, IT'S ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE CONSPIRACY!
I'll tell you what it is. Capitalism. There are now enough minorities and half-this half-that people that Marvel seems them as being profitable to market to.
It seems that every change is greeted as the liberal agenda being shoved down your collective throat. Call Wolf enough times...
H.
Did any of you read the article? This new Spider-Man is in the Ultimate Marvel universe where the original Peter Parker Spider-Man was killed in the June issue. In the Ultimate Marvel universe, characters can, and do, die.
As for the regular Marvel universe, Peter Parker is alive and well and still kicking ass as Spider-Man.
I remember a time when Nick Fury was white... and was played by Haselhoff! Not Samuel "I'm always yelling" Jackson. We're becoming so PC that it won't be correct to be white anymore. I swear, if they change batman to a black man I'm going to go crazy.
Ronin. Your pretty angry dude. What gives? Your last few post have been pretty....well....venomous. Where is this uber-pc universe ? I don't live there.Quote:

Sorry, I haven't eaten yet... And I got yelled at the other day for saying that "Just because I won't vote for a black libtard does not make me racist... I don't vote for democrats regardless of their color." Someone said "It's called 'African-American.'" Same thing happened when I got mad at a bunch of Mexican's talking loudly in Spanish. "They're not Mexican! They're 'hispanic.'" PC is BS.Quote:
