You know I hate to say I told you so well. I'm sorry I'm sorry I am I got the words hatin love confused. I love that I told you so I told you over to videos that are two of my most successful that I've put out there. I will say it over and over and over again. Social justice doesn't sell. Here's one thing that I find kind of interesting is that there were more and more excuses made for Marvel in regards to their social justice pandering then I've probably seen for any other medium that I've accused of this bullshit. Reason being is that there are people who with comic books. Marvel specifically or really. I'm sorry that's unfair. Let me say this about comic book. Fans in general myself being one is that often times with our own brands we tend to have Stockholm Syndrome because we love the characters and we love the brand so much that we turn into fanboys and as fanboys we abandon all logic and ability to ask for something better because we are completely and totally enamored with something. That is abusing us. I'm going to be completely and totally frank with you as if I'm not already all the time if chick-fil-a my favorite fast-food restaurant were to start giving me soggy chicken nuggets. I would stop buying it because I have gotten to the point in my life where I am sick and tired of being given mediocrity if you are capable of delivering the best to me I want the best from you and I want it as often as possible. Marc Guggenheim said in a recent interview that his run on x-men gold is going to be more about the x-men as hero than the x-men as a struggling minority fighting for their very existence. He says the existential crisis is tabled for the time being. I can't think of a wiser idea right now because as I've said in the past videos the moralizing and the social justice narrative has been so heavy-handed that it's ridiculous now some of you pointed out a couple of facts and I'm going to address those facts real quick is you said that yes. Marvel was actually being competitive up until last month and that's true they were being fairly competitive but let's take context into account civil war too is going on.

It's their big event. People are going to want to know what's going on but as an event is going on your sales of your major books shouldn't just fucking almost drop into non-existence for a month after being competitive. You shouldn't have that kind of a failure out of nowhere if you've got a restaurant and I know I make a lot of food comparisons but it's very appropriate if you've got a restaurant where you're serving food and you're doing pretty decent business then all of a sudden people just stop showing up out of nowhere. Something not only went wrong it went very wrong and you completely missed it. The fact of the matter is is that people like Bob. Chapman who straight up fucking lied to his audience with some bullshit conspiracy theory that he pulled out of the rather gratuitous reaches of his own ass have to accept the fact that your narrative aside from just being false does not resonate with people and it detracts from actual good storytelling. You can have a socially conscious story and it'd be good but if it is heavy-handed people will notice but for some reason there are social justice warriors out there where all they want is heavy-handed bullshit recently. I'm going to close out on this. I read the unworthy stor the first three issues that are out and you want to know what it's better than the current run of the Mighty Thor why it's a classic style. Thor story of him trying to regain and understand himself. And what exactly has made him unworthy in regards to the hammer and how he can regain that warrior. Spirit they bring in beta ray bill his closest confidant to help him with that journey. It's these sorts of stories these moments of character definition. Where sometimes even in our own lives. We can identify with the need to reinvent oneself or the need to rediscover oneself that cell that people love because what makes Marvel so great and made it so great for so long is that the characters felt like real human beings we could relate to them we could understand them on some level social justice warriors.

Don't talk to real people they don't understand real people so when they try to demand that comic books be something that the real world is not and just drop this heavy-handed moralizing on people. That really has no authority in it whatsoever people stop buying it and they go somewhere else. I was right. Social justice warriors. Were wrong below me my name is Micah Curtis. I'll see you next time.
