I don't really blame them.
I mean, comic companies are massive sell-outs, but you'd imagine there'd be some ethical line they wouldn't cross. Maybe a line that would be drawn just before "teaming up with a company who's major products are ICBMs and bombers".
It's kind of a questionable area to be in that most companies would try avoid.

Maybe they really do want to un-SJW thier lineup, but rather than just doing it, leading to a possible "strike" by the SJW creatives, they're just pulling a stunt that will make them all quit.

Everything you said was a completely stupid and nonsensical conspiracy theory you cooked up because you had no idea how comics work.
Marvel doesn't need complicated plans to "drive sjws off books". All they would have to do, and what they're probably going to do, is simply continue publishing sjw titles then cancel them once they start dipping below 7000 units sold and reach a nice, even number for trade paper back. Phase old stuff out, phase in new stuff. Marvel wouldn't need to worry about backlash because cancelling low selling books is something that happens all the fucking time. The really sjw writers and artists would be out, leaving behind only the most spineless of them to kowtow to editorial demands.
As for your "strike" idea, anyone even mentioning a strike would be instantly fired. The Big Two have an extremely low tolerance for anything that could be even mildly construed as "unionization".
With all of this in mind, I safely say that you're a fucking retard.

Books get canned once they dip below 7,000 units sold and hit enough issues for a trade paper-back. How hard is that to understand?
Until then, they'll keep publishing them, because they only print the amount of comics ordered by shops, which means that as long as they're above 7,000, they're making back the cost of producing them plus some profit.
Fucking seriously.

At this point this faggot has been bitching about sjw's across the board like a moronic aids infected donkey. Yeah everyone knows they're there but constantly focusing on them and using them in almost every sentence structure shows off an obvious obsession for them and for no other thought than to focus on one sole topic. Id even go as far as to accuse the fucker of being responsible for the over saturation of SJW bitching threads, with 85% of them getting deleted because how low quality they are, along with their obvious bait like OP and the general focus to just bitch about SJWs when we already have thread discussing about them along with other subjects.

>Serbs used Soviet era tech, borderline outdated weaponry, and Slavic technosorcery to detect the plane and shoot it down.
They were only able to shoot it down when the bomb bay doors were open, along with the fact it was on a coordinated bombing run, they planted a modified soviet missile system with a modern (for the time) long wave radar in its path and got a hit with 50% accuracy using two misses.
>vid related its also 1am here and im too tired to webm shit
Hell even the rusky general at the time over seeing the serb shoot down admits to this being the case. Another similar example would be when the SR-71 used to make its rounds across the USSR, the Russians didn't try to track the plane alone because it was too damn fast but instead they tracked the tanker planes following the SR-71 because the plane had to make frequent gas stops to stay in the air, it only reached fuel efficiency when it reached top speed. So using the flight paths of the tanker planes and reported instances within their own country, they managed to track the SR-71's flight path putting their own mach 3 speed demon in front of it, scaring the shit out of the American pilot and when detected causing the man to hit the gas and fly away at near mach 3.5.
Plus, things have evolved since those 2 decades have passed and we're seeing stealthy air frames coming from countries that deemed stealth as a hat trick all those years ago.

You can honestly copy and paste it with any company and technically yes, comic book movies are a hit with kids, so the mindset is advertise with the main studio/ company to spread brand recognition among a younger generation. They wouldn't know any better because its run by mostly normal people and not internet autists, they only see the successes of the movies and decided to make a quick marketing blitz to inspire the little ones..

They're not though. Thor's still unworthy, Tony hasn't been confirmed for returning/getting out of his coma, and Cyclops is still dead. I'm not sure on Banner though. They can't bring back Steve Rogers, since he never went away. He got old, then he became a Nazi and rather then think of way out of it, they just magic'd him away and brought back a version of classic Steve from somewhere. Apparently Falcon still has the shield or at least a shield. They did bring back Wolverine, but there's still 4 or 5 knockoffs running around so it's all watered down.
Moon Girl, America, and Riri still exist with editors saying they're committed to the diverse characters. Miles is still called Spider-Man with a push to get him into every cartoon, video game, and now movie they make. Legacy was just a shitty scramble of an event to pay lip service to classic Marvel with no intention of returning things to a pre-SJW state.
