I'm With Marvel_b0y?


People have started claiming that the I'M WITH MARVEL BOY button is evidence that Marvel_b0y was their viral campaign. Kinda forgets that Marvel Boy is a character involved in Secret Invasion...

Dr. Doom...Only Not So Much

Lisa Fortuner hits the nail on the proverbial head with her dissection of the Dr. Doom tirade at Ms. Marvel. She's right that the issue is much more about getting the character wrong than about the misogynist angle. Doom is written to spew offensive language to cement that he's an asshole. But the manner of his speech is off for the character (which, of course, can open it all back up to just being offensive/misogynist for the sake of being so).

I'd type more of my own outlook on the whole thing, but I'm travelling and I'm tired.
