Daredevil/Spider-Man #3

[jennsterjay]

Miles 1610B arranging a Miles Morales multiversal meet and greet and Comic, Cartoon, Spider-verse, and Video Game Miles are already laughing and theorizing and high fiving each other

Then they lose their minds when Prowler Miles finally shows up through a portal. Miles G Morales (Prowler) looks even more surprised because they're all wearing a Spider-Man costume

The other Miles' scramble to talk to him with a bunch of 'this suit is sick! how did you make it!!??' 'Yooo send me the coding for your mask' 'Black airforce vibe' 'Ayo you're The Prowler!!??'

And Miles G is looking at them and running a statistical probability in his head and then he's like "Nah cuz why are all of you Spider-Man???"

rdj the (whitewashed) electric boogaloo

This is a reminder to everyone who's excited about RDJ's casting as Doctor Doom that this casting is whitewashing. Victor Von Doom is a Romani character and has been a Romani character since his introduction in the 1960s. (Fantastic Four Annual #2 [1964]) Not only that, but his Roma identity and the persecution he and his family faced due to it is integral to his character, it is what forms his identity. (Books of Doom by Ed Brubaker) Even if on the off chance this casting is meant to not be Victor but instead be some variant of Tony or whomever else becoming Doctor Doom, it is damaging to the character to rob him of that important cultural background. Doctor Doom does not exist without that history. Fans have been pushing hard to cast Doom as a Romani actor for years, especially since the MCU has whitewashed other Romani characters. (Wanda, Pietro, etc) This casting is not a celebration moment, it's fucking heartbreaking that the MCU repeatedly ignores the important and nuanced cultural backstories of characters.

I know I can't change anybody's mind on whether or not you want to be excited about RDJ's return to the MCU. But I do think at the very least you should be mad that the MCU is baiting us all and destroying nuanced and interesting characters for the sake of self-referential easter eggs and nostalgia bait. Because that's what it is. Feel how you'd like to feel about RDJ's return, but personally, this is soul-sucking. I had such a deep love for the MCU as a teenager, it was obviously something incredibly formative to me, especially Tony Stark. This isn't recreating what I fell in love with the MCU for. This is turning a well-planned and artistic storyline of adaptations into cheap cash grabs and fan service. Because, I think we're past the point of being able to call the MCU an adaptation of anything. They can use existing characters' names and powers, but to say they're being properly adapted is laughable.

This is not an adaptation of Doctor Doom. This is RDJ the Electric Boogaloo because Marvel's fear of losing the interest of dedicated MCU fans overrides their willingness to tell stories that are genuine to the characters. I don't know what there is to be excited about that. The MCU has lost its authenticity and aside from a few projects, feels heartless. Every movie is a copy of a copy. This announcement isn't something celebratory, it feels like a death knell of a cinematic universe that's so desperate to cling to relevancy it's resorting to nostalgia for a character/actor who hasn't even been dead for a decade. We're not getting anything new, we're just rinsing and repeating the same song and dance.

I get it. I love Tony Stark, his death destroyed me and I to this day, rue the ending he got in Endgame. It misunderstood his arc and it robbed him of a satisfying conclusion. But the solution to that isn't dragging the corpse out of the grave five years later to whitewash an existing character with rich and interesting nuance, just to forcibly tie his existence in the MCU to Tony. Whether he is a variant or not. Why would you want someone else's fave's legacy to be destroyed simply so your fave's legacy can go on? Hell, if we were really all so hellbent on the return of RDJ and/or Tony to the MCU, we have the multiverse for a reason. There were other ways to do it that didn't whitewash and ruin someone else. This just. Isn't something to be happy about.

An Emma/Tony Reading Order

First of all, many thanks to this post by daour! Almost all of the first part is based on it! Second, not all of these are kind towards Tony as a character - specially the Uncanny X-Men Annual (where he's awfully skeezy) and Iron Man Special (where he's painted as a predator), so be forewarned.

Issues in bold are the ones where they either interact a lot or have significant interactions, and the ones with an *asterisk are just cameos or indirectly related.

crying. screaming. throwing up.

kamala literally died, what, a bit over a month ago? her funeral was 2 days ago. and they're already announcing a new series.

where, yes, she is now a mutant because they want to match the mcu.

the comic is being written by sabir pirzada, a writer on the ms marvel show, and iman vellani, who plays kamala.

i really don't have high hopes for this new page for kamala. I hate that they're doing this to her, I hate that the mcu continues to affect the comics like this. if there's any sliver of hope I have, it's because of iman vellani's passion and dedication to the character.

here's the EW article. scream abt it with me.

TRUST that the day I actually get to read this issue is the day I will become fully insane

[samasmith23]

Kamala’s first encounter with Lockjaw is still one of the simultaneously hilarious, adorable, and poignant scenes in the entirety of Ms. Marvel history!

Thank you so much G. Willow Wilson & Sana Amanat for giving us this absolute treasure!
