Marvel should have done this 10 years ago.Sorry Simon fans.
It never stops
>>152566186>Black Wonder Man>Has Purple Lightning powersWhat did Tom Brevoort mean by this?
>>152566186Is that Erik Killmonger? I mean you can't tell me that Michael B. Jordan was not used as a reference here.
Simon Williams has been so underutilized the last decade that I’m surprised Marvel hadn’t tried this already.
Does DC comics has or had this levels of bad synergy in these last 16 years?
You have to understand, Marvel comics isn't for you anymore, it's to make more money from MCU viewers so they can collect them and not read them, or read them so they can officially say they're a "comic nerd"MCU synergy is the priority. An MCU viewer wouldn't read a Wonder Man comic unless he's black, as he's black in the MCU. Then he becomes "That guy from the MCU"
>>152566451Only the Suicide Squad and Harley's costume that's it
My fave MCU Synergy BTFO moment is when they made Agatha Harkness young and alive again after Wandavision then the MCU made her old and a ghost.
>>152566451No, but DC never had as many opportunities for multimedia synergy. They'd be doing the same shit if the roles were reversed. Instead DC spent the last decade navigating a different sort of shitshow.
>>152566186>REBORN>ULTIMATE>IMPACTOh fuck this is triggering alarm bells. Are we doing Heroes Reborn a second time?
I don't care about Wonder ManI don't care about this replacement
>>152566186SYNERGY DOES NOT WORK THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR 20 FUCKING YEARS AND NOT ONCE HAS IT EVER INCREASED SALES IT DOESN'T WORK IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This seems really pointless.
>>152566186lets be real simon doesnt have fans
>>152566186Why? He will literally fade into irrelevancy.
>>152566186You make that sound like this was 'suppose' to happen years ago? Why was it? And why was Wonder Man of all others was to be the one to be a black man now?
>>152566451They made Harley's color scheme pink and blue for a while like it was in Suicide Squad but she reventually went back to red and black.
>>152566532DC has been doing the reverse, where they try to constantly make new status quos that would become potentially adaptable so the person who made it up gets royalties.
>>152566608NO BUT YOU SEE IF WE CHANGE THE COMICS TO LOOK LIKE THE MOVIES THEN THE MOVIE WATCHERS WILL BUY THE COMIC!JUST WAIT, KEEP WAITING, IT'LL WORK!!
>>152566478do "MCU fans" buy comics?are we just talking about reddit / funko consoomer adults who buy Disney/marvel merch slop so they can take pictures of their shelves and post them online?I never see those losers buying trades like "TVA" or "Captain Carter"
>>152566833Two more weeks! Four more years!
>>152566554It is a super empowering event, randoms from 616 will receive powers from the ultimate universe.
>>152566845>are we just talking about reddit / funko consoomer adults who buy Disney/marvel merch slop so they can take pictures of their shelves and post them online?Yeah, but Marvel doesn't care, it's still a sale.
>>152566845Captain Carter is fine as fuck though.
>>152566510For me, its that Bendis killed Rhodey because it thought he would die in the Civil War movie.
>>152566722Was essentially going to make this post.
>>152566186Couldn't he at least look like the one from the show? This design is lame
>>152566872but they're not buying the MCU synergy slop comics. they just buy the most expensive format of classic Marvel stories.
>>152566451Constantly making Catwoman black and pointing to the 1 season of 66 Batman as precedent even though Julie Newmar is the Catwoman everyone remembers from that show.
>>152566358it's one of the only approved hair styles to black caracters
What an amazing day for black people! All those massive amount of Wonder Man fans have always looked at him and thought "God.. I wish he was black..." this is a huge step forward in societal progress!
>>152566451Dark Crisis probably
>>152567135I know I did.
>>152566478If the goal of synergy in comics is to make money then they have failed spectacularly
Will there be a Black Vision and Black Grim Reaper?
>>152567320No because there is no MCU Grim Reaper.
>>152566845>do "MCU fans" buy comics?No, normalfags don't touch comics and haven't for 30 years.
>>152567625But maybe if we make THIS comic like the movie they watched, they'll buy it! It'll work this time, trust me.
>>152567320No because they're not black in the MCU. Expect Vision to turn into White Vision again once his TV show comes out and expect Death to date Agatha Harkness at some pooint.
Feels like we're in reverse now, where comics are adapting from movies when it used to be the other way around.
>>152567704>now
As someone who watched the show recently, I think what makes this funny to me is the entire point of the show is that he hasn't really suited up to be Wonder Man and it feels like the real wankfest here is trying to race to be the one who determines the suit design
>>152566186>black >lightning powers>purple themed>kilmonger cutHow many more stereotypes can we fit in?
>>152567768>never met his father>raised by grandmother>criminal record BUT only because of evil White people
What’s funny is there’s also that mini about Simon coming out
>>152567704>nowBro, comics have been adapting stuff from their adaptions since the very beginningSuperman is the worst when it comes to this since a lot of his stuff originates from the radio show
>All of the Avengers I like keep getting ruined or at best completely unused
>>152567831Oh, will he finally officially his relationship with Hank?
>>152566186Is that the only hairstyle black people are allowed to have now?
