Oh look, quarantine.

Stupid fads tend to die down after they make a movie about it. Hopefully that'll be the case with this one.

>>949724

Did they made squirrel girl even fatter?

>>949728

Reminds me of those shitty one-shot "for girls" animated movies back in the early 2000s.

It even has the same kind of shitty theme music with very cringy lyrics.

Cap's hair is back, though. And Squirrel girl doesn't look deformed. Tis but a cover, mind you.

And wasn't Gwenpool actually okay? (though more by accident than design).

>>949817

That's Spider-Gwen not Gwenpool.

> they give them an animated movie so they feel like they've accomplished something.

It's not a movie, it's a short series of five minute episodes. That's all they're worth.

>the disaster DC caused in the 2000s when they punted the nineties fanbase for old fat neckbeards.

There's a difference?

>>949831

Still, that's what most of them were asking for when they forced their way into this hobby: empty media recognition.

>>949829

>Marvel's attempting to keep the audience they've created through these books

What, all 200 rabid fans from tumblr?

And this isn't an animated movie. It's an animated series full of shorts which they want to be like DC Super Girls or whatever it's called.

I want to be optimistic like you guys are, but somehow I don't think

>Hey let's invest way more money than we've ever invested in the comics in order to get these characters into other media!

is the equivalent of them saying

"Okay we're done with these characters."

>>949724

Why does Squirrel Girl look like a little kid?

>>950029

>200 rabid fans

More like the 20 or so people who gets underpaid to write online about hashtag characters.

It's through those "outrage writers" that Marvel crafted such a very dedicated and loyal fanbase of Tumblrites that don't even buy the comics they write about.

What's the point of diversity characters if the entire point of making them is just to have diversity characters?

>>950029

>"Okay we're done with these characters."

I doubt that's the case too. Squirrel Girl still has a show coming out, Carol still has a movie, and Disney is refusing to let Agents of SHIELD die so Quake will be around for years. So none of those characters are going to stop getting pushes for a long time. Now, I know those aren't the most objectionable characters there (though their current incarnations might be). Spider-Gwen, Ms Marvel, and America won't be tossed aside anytime soon either. They do well with the tumblr blogs/buzzfeed types places and, sales be damned, Marvel isn't going to let those characters die anytime soon. Especially as long as Sana Amanat is there.

The only characters that are likely to be thrown aside are the ones who are just there to check some boxes, namely the male characters.

>Inferno

Just there so they have a spic, because no matter what they say America isn't a latina since she's from some magical no whitey/men/hetero dimension. He'll be dead as soon as Marvel/Disney gets those X-Men movie rights back.

>Patriot

Just there to so they have a nig. No one cares about him and no one will miss his shitty costume.

>Exile

I'm not even sure who the fuck this is, but I think he's being voiced by some feather Indian so in all likelihood he's Indian and no one cares about them either.

Oh, hey Lara Croft. Actual Lara Croft, not that pathetic snivelling wimp with the same name.

>>950533

They kinda did that with the Ultimate universe which was an alternate take on the main heroes. It would be cool but they're run by retards now despite CB Cebulski becoming EIC.

>>949829

>Electric Holiday

How come I haven't seen this short until now?

There's also that fangame being developed in Unreal Engine 4. Looks OK so far, but needs work and lots of polish on its mechanics. Last I heard it was OKayed by Square Enix or Eidos or whoever is holding the Tomb Raider license at this point, so we shouldn't see an insta takedown like with AM2R.
