I thought they all were? I have never understood grown ups watching superhero stuff anyway. It's all nonsense.

I don’t think we’re bing represented fairly.

Maybe Marvel should give us a hero who is a middle aged man who likes a few pints, enjoys steak and a fry-up, drives a 6-10 year old Toyota with a few issues, who has a job he doesn’t really like but that he goes to because he has to pay the bills, a guy who doesn’t care if he has a bit of a gut and thinning hair. And who doesn’t give a rats ass what gender is as long as everyone just leaves him the feck alone and stops with pushin all that sheite at him all the time.

Or a woman with a pain in her arse looking after EVERYONE from the time she gets up until she goes to bed, bar the occasional escape to visit a friend while everyone is somewhere else, or a night out (home at 11) when she and her other half aren’t totally knackered. A woman who thinks it’s a bit odd that someone with a penis should want to use the ladies or anything like that and who reckons you might as well stick a dick on a barbie doll and tell your children they’re all unicorns than try to argue that you’re a woman and they’re not.

These days it requires an almost heroic sacrifice of self to call out the absolute drivel being pushed on people through these publicity stunts and pacification of people who think they’ve a right to some movie role recognition for their poxy gender identity.

Marvel are putright corporate whores looking to keep their base of green/blue/pink haired overgrown children happy by pandering to them with this horsecrap. And they’ll lap it up, the gullible little eejits that they are.

Heroes they are certainly not.

Would be a very boring film though.

I’d rather go for a walk or read a book than sit and watch the awkward insertion of a conceited transgender character as a hero in a film, just to make a statement and progress a twisted agenda.

It seems like you're much more upset about it than people who are OK with it are happy about this.

Tokenism is flavour of the month. And studio heads are only too happy to monetise it.

Ah, let me help. You are Marvel-non-binary. It’s a new thing. Yes, it’s ridiculous, but it’s on the internet now and for that reason it’s true and you can’t say it’s not or I’ll label you a bigot and ruin your life.

All your base are belong to us.

Sounds like a great idea

Superman is a DC comics character

randd1 · 03-01-2020 11:45AM

I am TransGenderPerson!!

My superpowers, gadgets and abilities?
- The ability to mine offence out of the tiniest of atoms
- The ability to morph my genetalia from penis to Ken doll to vagina and back again as I see fit
- A powered suit that changes from a cocktail suit to a cocktail dress at the touch of a button
- Super-sensitivity

weldoninhio · 03-01-2020 11:48AM

Aren't any of the shape shifting ones trans??

speedboatchase · 03-01-2020 11:51AM

Whatever Marvel is referring to will end up being a few frames of a movie that Disney can easily cut for audiences in China, eg. what they did for Avengers Endgame and Rise of Skywalker.

03-01-2020 11:53AM

At what point would a superhero mention that they're transgender?

Surely any 'shape shifter' type characters are transgender?

I'm thinking Raven out of X-Men.

Simple really, the marvel films are made for everyone and not for kids. I personally think the people who think there for kids are very silly indeed. Also its silly that there's a new story about a transgender superhero but that's just part of news sites been rubbish
