THE REVIEW
A couple days ago I would find myself watching a video about an upcoming comic known as the X-women, feeling that X-Women would be a comic for me to make fun of in my videos (because thats what I like to do for fun), I would find myself buying the first and only issue ever sold in my local comicbook store. When I actually read the comic, I would find myself extremely upset and disgusted, and making the video became extremely difficult for me to do in a way. I was extremely upset that Marvel would do something like this and not even think of the "actual" reactions from its fans. Mostly offended or perveted, that isn't how Marvel should target its fans with their comics.
When I made my video review of X-Women, my main goal was to burn it and Youtube it. I could careless what everybody thought, because I too think that this video review is byfar the worst one I did. As predicted, I would findout that I would have a huge negative reaction from a "male" audience.
Its funny how they would try to tell me its an art and that I dont fully understand it, thats like telling me I dont understand the art of a Penthouse magazine.
I wish they would just admit the fact that I offended there most favorite porno mag, I personally do admire honesty instead of pathetic lies.
I know of Manara, and I have nothing against the man besides the fact that he should have never worked with Marvel which would have people extremely hating his art. Marvel has really kicked the pooch with this comic as it would find itself offending readers, famous female characters within Marvel, and Manara himself who's actually a famous artist in his own way.
Usually I would find myself collecting comics that would be accidents, horrible mistakes, or EPIC failures for my own personal entertainment and to warn other fans of what to expect when buying an issue, yet with this one, I would find little choice but to burn this comic and rid of it from my house for good, little did I know that what remained of the burnt comic actually became somebody else's problem.
Heres the review I made, if you feel the same way I did and want to see "one of many" of this comic burn, then by all means enjoy. CAUTION: LANGUAGE
WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED
Well I can see where Marvel was trying to go with this and it only backfired as an EPIC FAILURE, what's also sad is that Marvel knows this and could careless of the reactions from its own fans and would shrug this comic off as a dark secret never to be mentioned again, like another issue I have known as Daredevil and Bullseye issue 1 when they knew that they didn't have the creativity to handle that issue. If they would have Manara as an artist, they should have had him design "NEW" characters or ones that are not famous or have no fan base to it, which I could think of a couple. But they didn't, instead we see our favorite X-females forced into a comic and displayed as strippers on the verge of doing you know what.
CONCLUSION
After burning this issue and dumping water over it, I threw away in a dumpster outside of my house thinking that I would see the last of this issue. Little did I know that a couple of kids would come across a few pages that didn't get burnt in the dumpster because of how thick the issue was and later would get an ultimate butt-chewing from mother, whats funny is that these kids were like 13 years old, the proper age that Marvel rated for this comic. So upon overhearing this loud woman, the rest of these pages would find itself fully destroyed and back into the dumpster again.
After that incident, I somehow thought to myself, how can I convince the readers who enjoyed this comic in a "naughty" way and wont naturally admit it, that it is byfar one of the most offensive comic produced by Marvel?
Then it just hit me, in a scenerio
How about we take their favorite male heroes, like Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, and Namor. And have an issue with a famous artist who enjoys drawing the male body and have these guys go on an adventure in Stripper outfits, speedo's, and male G-strings.
Iron Man with colorful strobelights to boost up the strip party.
Captain America's costume reduced down to a pint-size shield covering his "you know what"
Thor showing the lady fans of Marvel of how THUNDER he can really be
and lets not forget Miss Babs favorite male hero, Namor.
So Yeah, our favorite male heroes reduced down to male strippers and labeled as art for all those lady readers out there. I wonder what the reaction would be from the male readers, I wonder if they would call this "art" or "offensive", or would they side with me when I rant on that issue?
But if that does happen and im wrong on that theory, then im just gonna quit reading Marvel and move onto the more mature like comics.
