In the latest issue of Marvel Comics' Wolverine, a classic member of the X-Men has epically ruined the reputation of X-Force, the mutant nation of Krakoa's primary security team. Deciding that Logan is much better as a mindless weapon, Hank McCoy's Beast has turned Logan into his attack dog complete with a dark obedience collar. Beast has effectively brainwashed Logan to be his unfeeling assassin in the name of "protecting Krakoa and mutantkind". However, Wolverine can only be controlled for so long, and one mistake has led to a massive international incident.
As seen in the new Wolverine #28 from Benjamin Percy and Juan José Ryp, Beast's pet Wolverine was too eager during an unsanctioned assassination mission. Not waiting for Beast to turn off the cameras, Logan was recorded murdering a US general who'd been proposing military strikes to seize Krakoa's resurrection technology. As if Wolverine's noted absences from the rest of X-Force weren't suspicious enough, the rest of the team has begun to notice something's not right as Beast's darkness progresses to outright villainy, torturing and manipulating Wolverine in secret to such as degree that Logan might as well be back in the Weapon X program.
It's getting pretty old now, folks: Any whining about "forced diversity" or "woke" etc will get you a permanent ban from the sub.
So I was browsing r/Fantasy and there was a massively upvoted post about just how bad the Wheel of Time and Rings of Power TV series were.
And of course, alongside all the comments either saying the shows weren't too bad, or sticking their fingers in their ears about the ruinous effect of progressive politics, was a mod comment pinned right at the top:
Those God damn fucking cowards just cannot face the fact that it is their team, their dogma, that is screwing everything up, and they'll do everything in their power to astroturf simple pattern recognition out of existence.
Edit: You know what, fuck it, I'll hit the nuclear take. "Diversity" is absolutely something to worry about as it is almost always a red flag for progressive writers who care more about pushing a message than a writing a good story.
It's incredible how shows are apparently getting worse and worse with every new release. Rings of Power on Amazon, hen Willow for Disney Plus and now somehow Netflix's Witcher: Blood Origin has surpassed them all in a race to the depths of Hell.
They're run by progressives.
If you think things are always on the up, always going your way as part of the inevitable march of progress (the Whig view of history), why would you stop?
So much money and time and... yes even talent lost on these shows. After all of the Eowyns and Aryas and Valerias you'd think... alas...
I wanna create a Versus match scenario with all of these new Fantasy Girl protagonists but all of these shows are so terrible that no one is watching them so there'd be nothing to discuss.
A New Princess Bride Scenario alone would be great for the humorous ree'ing.
That was your first mistake.I was browsing r/Fantasy
X-Men Has Officially Destroyed An Iconic Marvel Team's Reputation
So this is how our favorite franchises end, burning in flames.
It reads like another of those really dumb character changes meant to boost exposure or whatever like Captain America saying Heil Hydra or turning Punisher into a Frankensten monster and so on and so forth. The main drawback of these is how they just get progressively worse in both writing and the social messaging it often inserts. Though I guess there could be a danger in it not getting retconned back into something resembling sanity.

It's the endpoint of the X-Men's beliefs and ideology. These fucks can burn.X-Men Has Officially Destroyed An Iconic Marvel Team's Reputation

It's the endpoint of the X-Men's beliefs and ideology. These fucks can burn.
The original X-Men believed that Mutants were just humans with gifts...similar to just being strong/genius/beautiful as a human. Thus everyone is still equal, and everyone deserves freedom and basic human rights.explanation for the uninitiated here?
