In Regards to Fundamentally Ruining Ms. Marvel as a Character

I assume all of this has been said before by people better qualified to speak on these matters, but my anger over the recent... developments with Ms. Marvel has burnt out, leaving me just... sad and so very, very tired.

So these are just my few cents on the matter, before cutting most, if not all, Marvel content from my life.

Even beyond the grossly humiliating manner in which she was killed in a rather mediocre P*ter P*rker comic she shouldn't have been part of in the first place (regardless of how little she was actually present), this "N*w Mutant" she's been replaced with has so many glaring issues.

The Ms. Marvel that I loved, that I've experienced grow over years of character development wouldn't have suddenly reverted to a feckless fangirl, desperate for validation from adults that she doesn't know nor has interacted with. She's more naive than ever, even; the idea that a brown Pakistani-American Muslim girl needs to be lectured about how discrimination works by E*ma Fr*st (a White Blonde Girlboss Supreme, Race Supremacist, and Prior Terrorist) is not only laughable, but downright insidious and disgusting.

The character that I loved would never have discarded her family, friends, and team as easily as this mutant replacement did. Her statement that she didn't expect former-mentor Iron Man or supposedly-current-friend-and-teammate Nova (Sam Alexander) to come to her aid since she's "playing for the other team now" was deeply insulting. Her decision to reveal her identity to the world as an impossible "Inhu-mutant" was a shockingly naive and downright stupid idea that someone who has so zealously guarded her secret identity would never suggest, especially at a time when "anti-mutant hysteria" is at its peak; when it would so immediately bring harm to the people that she loved.

But that is a fundamental problem with the X-M*n and mutants as a whole: there is no room in the Marvel universe for them to exist without pushing them as a ludicrous allegory for discrimination. They can only exist as a mutant; only for the X-M*n's failing culture wars. Ms. Marvel especially struggles to fit into the X-M*n framework of discarding everything personal to push the X-M*n's ideology; where massive swathes of X-M*n simply lack any meaningful ties to the human world, Ms. Marvel has family and friends that accept and love her; family and friends that she wouldn't simply discard to deepthroat X-M*n boot.

Ms. Marvel was one of my favorite characters. I loved seeing her perspective on the world as a Pakistani-American Muslim. I loved her interacting with a wide variety of people, leading her team of individual heroes and friends. I loved that she and her Champions wanted to make the world a better place for all.

But that's a thing of the past now. The new, mutantier Ms. Marvel only cares about the X-M*n; about the X-M*n's stupid, segregationist ethnonation. She has abandoned her family and friends that I enjoyed seeing her interact with to desperately seek the validation of people she's never had a conversation with. Her values that led her to make her own team to fight to make the world a better place for all have been discarded for X-M*n ethnonationalism.

Ms. Marvel's dead. She died ignominiously, begging for validation from P*ter P*rker, only to be replaced by a bootlicking X-M*n prop that has fundamentally ruined everything that I loved about the character.

Also: The potential of an Ironheart story wherein she has a debut as a Magitech Hero was immense and something that I was looking forward to, as well. As you might imagine, I am also enraged that it was thrown away off-panel in favor of having the Iron Man comic be usurped by some witless X-M*n swill, but the ruination of Ms. Marvel is a higher priority.

A bit of a downer theory below.

Okay, so... I think Sharon in the MCU is definitely evil.

They have to keep Steve marketable - so they have to justify him abandoning her even though she gave up everything to help him. I'm guessing by making her so evil that even he gives up on her.

They have to keep Peggy marketable - so they have to justify her being okay with Steve abandoning her own family member who gave up everything to help him. I'm guessing by making her so evil that even she gives up on Sharon.

If Sharon had been treated differently from the get-go, developed more by the Russos, hated less by fans, I don't think it would have happened. But all of it did happen, so I think they're going to keep Sharon as definitely evil.

One thing in Sharon's favor - the backlash to the reveal that she's evil. I think that (and the unlikelihood of FAWS S2, and the delay to Armor Wars and making it a movie into a TV show) will basically mean they'll back off using her.

BUT I expect the next time we see her in the MCU, they'll reveal that Sharon was trying to get with Steve the whole time to have him to herself instead of letting Peggy have him (ignoring their own canon where he was the one who asked her out, he was the one who initiated the kiss, she was the one who went on the run instead of staying for the airport fight). And then she'll be killed off. And it'll all take place with less than five minutes of screen time.

But I'm not counting on a redemption. Because if she can be redeemed, why didn't Steve stick around to do that?

I'm very, very glad that they're keeping Sharon (and Sharon and Steve) as is in the comics. If you want to thank them, too, you can do so at mheroes@marvel.com. If you want a Sharon solo or to see Sharon more often, that's email to use to tell them so!

As for Sharon in the MCU... I don't know. If you want to make your voice heard, make some noise. And support Emily's latest show Prejudice to show that she's got a fanbase that will support her!

tanzanite

While December babies share topaz with the November babies, November's topaz being golden-brown while December's is blue, December also lays claim to the newly discovered excitement of tanzanite.

Tanzanite, so the legend goes, was discovered by Masai herders in the Merelani Hills near Mt. Kilimanjaro. A lightning strike set the grasslands around the area on fire, forcing the herders to flee with their animals. When the fire had burned itself out and the Masai returned with their herds, they found the ground littered with beautiful dark blue stones (the government of Tanzania recognizes Jumanne Mhero Ngoma as the official discoverer of the gem). The rest of the world wouldn't find out about these stones until 1967 when a Indian prospector named Manuel de Souza, hunting for sapphires or gold depending on which story you go with, either stumbled across some of the blue gems himself or was directed there by the locals. At first he assumed they were olivine but something about them struck him as unique and so he sent some samples to a gemstone dealer friend of his and from that point on things took off. It wasn't long before the gem was discovered to be a brand new jewel. While the official name of the stone is blue zoisite, jewelry dealers knew better. In 1968, the gem was marketed as 'tanzanite' by Tiffany and Co. with the slogan that the rare new gem could only be found in two places in the entire world: "Tanzania and Tiffany's".

And Tiffanys was right. To this day, the rare stone is only found in Tanzania, in the same foothills that it was originally discovered in. There is no where else in the world these gems turn up. While I found 'lab created tanzanite' on etsy, I couldn't find any actual confirmation that the stone has ever been replicated in a lab, just that it has been imitated there. Right now, the entirety of this jewels deposits all exist in one single point, a stretch of land that's four miles long and one mile wide. This area is broken up into four sectors, half given to corporate mining and half to locals. In fact, Saniniu Laizer, a local man, mined the two largest tanzanite stones to ever have been found at 21 pounds(972 kg) and 11 pounds (5.1kg). He sold them to the government for 3.35 million USD.

Tanzanite is measured at 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is a member of the zoisite family with its natural color being a reddish brown to clear. Heat brings out its blue color which can dip almost into purple with some stones. It also shows different shades of color when viewed from different angles from red-violet to deep blue to yellow-green, though heat treatment will all but eliminate everything but the blue and violet colors and the cut of the gem can enhance a specific color as well. When viewed under cool lighting the gem appear more blue while warm lighting brings out its purple.

As a fairly new stone, to the west at least, tanzanite doesn't have much folklore to go with it. But there is some.

Tanzanite is considered a stone that brings good luck, new beginnings and prosperity. Which, yeah, that makes sense considering. In Tanzania, women that have just given birth wear blue, both their clothes and their jewelry, to give their child a healthy and positive life. Since tanzanite both changes color with heat as well as while it is turned to catch different angles, it is know as 'the stone of transformation'. Feng Shui believes that a tanzanite stone can promote peace, tranquility and open communication. It is the gift for 24th wedding anniversaries.

It is also very, very rare and limited. It has the moniker of 'the gemstone of a generation' because when the mines run dry, some guesstimates give less than twenty-five years, the tanzanite we have will be the only trace of it left.

My aus are always "the monsters are fine, happy, and thriving!"

As for the protagonists/heroes, who cares? Not mHeroes,

Except for Archie. He's the protagonist that gets to thrive.

Gail Simone WAS asked to write a Sharon mini and had to turn it down due to time constraints.

If anyone sees this and wants a Sharon mini - email mheroes @ marvel . com and tell them! <3

all im saying is that a ton of marvel heroes have been getting minis to celebrate their 60th anniversaries recently...which means that in 2025, we should be getting a sharon mini.

You know you’re glowing right?

[burninblood]

being a BuckyNat shipper is such a rollercoaster, really. We're here still celebrating Thunderbots #2 and at the same time the shadow of the Black Widow/Hawkeye mini is already creeping on us, and we have no clue what will happen to our otp, considering the nefarious inchoerence of marvel's writers...

Btw, just in case, I wrote an email to mheroes@marvel.com expressing my joy and enthusiasm for the BuckyNat reunion in the latest TB issue, and also my concern that we won't see much more of them together after that ... If someone else has the time/will I think that would be useful to make us heard! Similar actions worked in the past to give us more content, so I think it is worth a shot and try let them people at Marvel know how much we care!

I’m scared that Thunderbolts is setting up a love triangle between Clint, Natasha, James. I’ve heard there will be a Clint and Natasha mini series coming out in 2024. I feel like the love triangle was definitely hinted at in Black Widow (2023) and Tales of Suspense. Regardless of who you ship, it comes off really creepy and possessive in my opinion. 😬

I really hope not, anon! I've heard of the Clint and Natasha miniseries but I am hoping (maybe against hope) that it won't envolve them being an item in it. 💀 While I'm excited about what happened in Thunderbolts #2, I'm not holding my breath for Buckynat being "officially back together" just yet, I don't trust Marvel with anything.
