| Topic | "Forced diversity is why Marvel Comics isn't selling" |
| X-Pac_Heat 10/16/18 6:58:34 AM #2: | Nah. It's not helping them get the sales like they thought it would, but comics were suffering from lower than desired sales long before they started this stuff I'm pretty sure. The truth is, a real reason comics can't catch on is because they are overpriced and the stories go on way too long. It used to be that a story could conclude in 1-3 issues tops. The only time you had issues going on 6-12 was major events and such. Now everything goes on for 6-12 issues. Major events involve you having to buy across multiple different characters/teams just to get the whole story. Unless you're a die hard comic fan (and even they are being turned away) you really don't have time or money for that shit anymore. I'd also argue that the "forced diversity" thing does hurt them, but not because of diversity itself. It's because normal people that jump on from the MCU want to see the characters they like in the MCU, not Flacon as Captain America, or Jane as Thor, or Riri as Ironheart. And they definitely don't want to see Captain America as a Nazi. It's not so much that it is diverse, it's that it is different. --- "Jokes on you, I didn't start paying attention to you until TWO years ago!" ---- Conflict ... Copied to Clipboard! |
