Video games don’t have to be about combat to be good:

Video games don’t have to be linear to envelop players in their worlds:

Video game bosses don’t have to be difficult to be fun:

Video games don’t have to lack color simply because they are “post-apocalyptic”:

Video games can have lighthearted art design and still carry deeply dark themes:

Rethink video games.

Uncanny Avengers Vol. 2 #4 cover & art from #1

Some quotes from Brevoort & Remender

The idea for the time being right now is that Rogue and Scarlet Witch have earned a sisterhood and they’ve earned each other’s trust; they’re the lynch pins of the Unity Squad at this point. They’ve come through it all and learned the most. Their friendship was one of the main points of the first story, and they’re co-leaders when we open.

This wasn’t like Rogue or Scarlet Witch put together the perfect team. This is more like they’re going to war with who they could get at that moment. It adds an X-factor to the whole thing because they were called together because they were available.

When the series begins, you have Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch on a frantic search to learn the truth about their past and where this great lie came from.

To me, the most fun aspect of this story is Counter-Earth. When Tom hit on that, it all fell together. It’s one of the coolest and most exciting concepts in the Marvel Universe that has been underused for a long time. Having this group of Avengers journey to the new Counter-Earth, and the reveal of what the new Counter-Earth is and the villain behind it all and what he’s up to contextually connects to Wanda and Pietro.

The parentage reveal from the pages of “AXIS” will play a role in “Uncanny Avengers.” “It’s our entre into the story,” said Brevoort. “Even by the time we’re done with the story, I don’t know if every question every reader has is going to be answered. There’s plenty of story road for us to go down. We’re at the beginning of that journey. As with Sabretooth, this has people a little bit rattled up, but that’s good because that means they want to see what sort of horrible abomination thing we’re going to do in our book — that won’t be as horrible as what they are imagining.”

[Wanda and Vision] had a family together, they were married and together a long time. The attraction Scarlet Witch felt to Vision was because he was the purest version of Simon Williams, who she was really in love with. We revealed that she’s still very fond of Simon and they are very close, and now he’s trapped in Rogue’s head. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it’s complete animosity. Vision’s going to do what he has to do to protect her, but he’s vocally the most mistrusting of Wanda and her mental state.

How will Simon Williams being in Rogue’s head affect her friendship with Scarlet Witch? "The full examination of all of this will not transpire in this first arc.“

It’s clear that [Magneto is] going to be involved at some point. I don’t know if I want to say anything more than that. These revelations strike close to him.

it’s like all this shit i hate about marvel put in one place

vision apparently being a pure form of simon williams yeah okay you keep telling yourself a robot made from corpses is “Pure” necrophiliac fucks

magneto not being the parents of pietro and wanda and thus a retread of the “WHO ARE OUR PARENTS” story not exactly compelling reading plus I need to state again that this is erasure of Jewish Romani characters for the sake of a fucking Disney movie, you think we give a shit about your mayo movies now marvel? now that you fucked over some of our favorite heroes by whitewashing them?

AND VISION JUST FUCK THAT RACIST SENTINEL FUCK FUCK FUCK HIM

so many other characters get erased but this racist fuckwad is still around and makes it into the movies WHY!? why the fuck is Vision still a character why does he still exist it’s 2015 there shouldn’t abe a character that was once used as an allegory for POC still around.

In short Marvel can go fuck themselves because they hate POC.

This whole comic looks gross. Sounds gross. Will most likely be very gross.

Remender says he went back to the last time they were around one another, saying that Vision hasn’t forgiven her. “They had a family together, they were married and together a long time,” said Remender. “The attraction Scarlet Witch felt to Vision was because he was the purest version of Simon Williams, who she was really in love with. We revealed that she’s still very fond of Simon and they are very close, and now he’s trapped in Rogue’s head. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it’s complete animosity. Vision’s going to do what he has to do to protect her, but he’s vocally the most mistrusting of Wanda and her mental state.”

Now I truly, fully empathize with everyone else’s comic book rage  (via skipinouterspace)

Vision is a piece of shit
Saying Wanda only loved him bc of Simon is a piece of shit thing to say/claim.
Wanda is allowed to have agency. Love more than one man. Have a dissolved marriage yet still have a professional relationship.
Wanda is allowed to want one guy in her 20s but a different kind of guy (or whatever) in her 30s
If they try to have a lesbian relationship between her and Rogue, but only because Simon I am going to SCREAM at how disgustingly awful and demeaning that is and how it undercuts their lesbian relationship entirely.

Wtf

I hate it when either of these men speak.

Remender is a fucking idiot. Scarlet Witch knew both Wonder Man and Vision and was in love with Vision. Started a life with Vision. That life was ripped from her, first her kids, then Vision when he was disassembled then rebuilt emotionless by the government. She only felt anything for Wonder Man because he reminded her of what she loved about Vision. Even when Vision got his emotions back, he hid it from Scarlet Witch. They never got a chance to reconnect because of Vision and Remender is trying to make it completely Scarlet Witch’s fault.

Vision is a piece of shit and emotionally abusive. I don’t think she ever loved him. She was just lead to think she needed to be in that relationship. Needed to have kids. She was trying to fulfill roles that were expected of her and only faintly what she actually wanted.

Fanfiction is so hard to write when a director  has already made their own AU.

Fanfiction is hard to write when 616 Marvel Mainstream writers already wrote their own AU. Looking at you Rick Remender and

brevoortformspring

This is why I’m more than ready to treat fanfiction, fanart and fan comics as the actual continuity of Marvel’s 616 universe.

The people in charge at Marvel right now aren’t the people that created these franchises. Brevoort and Remender didn’t create Wanda or Pietro. They’re just people paid by a company that owns the legal copyrights to put out products to sell to consumers. Their voices are no more valid than anyone else’s voices, and in fact, may be even less valid if you put them next to some hardcore fans.

Hardcore fans can have a lot of love and respect for the underlying concepts of the franchises tied to their favorites. They can look back at what’s been done before, see areas that could use a bit more depth, come up with unique and awesome new ways to build on what others have already done. They can do that all while respecting the source material.

Whereas these guys don’t have that respect. Fans care more about the source material than themselves. These guys care more about themselves than the source material. It doesn’t matter if these guys working at Marvel were fans a long time ago, today they’re doing things to suit their own interests.

I have far more respect for random fans exploring the wonders of the Marvel universe and all it has to offer, than I do for any editor or writer working at Marvel that eagerly abuses their power for personal reasons.

Awkward doesn’t begin to describe it.

Avengers vol 3, #32 (2000)

Why men shouldn’t be allowed to write comics. Just no. Women should write comics with a token dude now and again to make it seem like it’s inclusive.

Remember, Vision is also supposed to be a good allegory for real world races! This is exactly how black people talk and act at the idea of going on a date! /sarcasm
