Though we’re still awaiting information on Marvel’s first Alien/vs/Predator comic series currently due for release in April, Marvel is celebrating their acquisition of the Alien license with some variant covers featuring the Alien going up against various Marvel characters for January’s issues!
Marvel has been known to celebrate their new titles with mass themed variant cover art like this before. A recent event like this that jumps to mind for me being when The Amazing Mary Jane launched in 2019. Thanks to Lee Asbury on the Weyland-Yutani Bulletin for the news.

Nothing wrong with Marvel being anti-Hitler, or anti-Nazi. I think we can agree on that.
Just caught up to reading Hicks's post. Ok stepping off the political bandwagon.
Really looking forward to the first Marvel series one way of another.
What the actual f**k is this post?
The whole point of all of this is that the organization is fundamentally flawed. Sure, there may be some "good cops" but if the organization doesn't do anything to actually stop the bad ones, and the "good" ones don't do anything to stop the bad ones, then the whole organization is f**ked and needs total reform. Shootings like these keep happening, and will keep happening, and it is absolutely f**king disgusting.
You're asking people to think about the "Black people that weren't shot that day" like that is going to fix anything. What are you saying? That they should just go about their business and be thankful that this time it was their father or mother or brother or sister or husband or wife or friend that got shot, rather than themselves? Ignoring a problem doesn't make the problem go away. And those people that died... they are dead. Their lives were taken from them. That isn't something to just look at lightly and brush off.
So nah, I'm not just going to ignore deep-rooted issues that are literally costing people their lives.
Yeah, you black people ! You should be thankful you haven't been shot today !

Jack Kirby was a bad motherf**ker.
Probably all the innocent people they keep murdering without consequence.
Yeah. Runaway slaves / illegal immigrants who just want to live longer than four years and act out of desperation to achieve that goal.

Filthy commie.
Right along with the Blade Runners, you know, gunning Replicants down, no questions asked.
Wait until these people realise that nasty feminism has already infected their beloved franchise
First, I always loved that cover! 👏
And these leads to my point. The subtlety of punching Hitler in the face is equivelant to one of your characters saying "All corporations are inherently evil!" Hence neither is subtle. But the more general or vague you get, the more you move away from that, the more subtle it naturally becomes, on a scale that also slides individually based on not just the script and how it targets on something fictional as evil or wrong, but the perspective of the viewer, their life experiences and how deep their intake is when normally viewing film.
Aye, and check it out this one from 1974.

But as many have already said; a great part of entertainment has always been, is and will always be political, to a greater or lesser degree. Maybe some of us weren't paying attention, we were immature, we experienced cognitive dissonance or simply there was a lack of knowledge. But things are there, regardless.
This has been established over and over again on the last few pages. To reiterate:
You would know him as boy who became Comrade Winter Soldier.
People really don't pay attention to what they read or watch do they?
As if politics hasn't been a part of entertainment since forever.
Marvel didn't used to be political?
50s, 60s & 70s mirrored the civil rights movement. Professor X was akin to Martin Luther King Jr. wanting peaceful protests and movements to improve African-Americans standings during that era; whereas Magneto was more in line with Malcom X who was willing to use any means necessary to protect the rights and freedoms of African-Americans. Marvel has always been very political and I think that's one reason why they've been around as long as they have.
Hear, hear.

The Hate-Monger issue came out in 1963
"Alien was never f**king asleep"
Is it me or most of these examples were spawned during WWII ? What about 50s, 60s, 70s and so on ?
How far back are we going for 'Good old Marvel'? Civil War came out in 2007, and had obvious political themes. Literally every X-men story has obvious political themes.
People just want to argue that stuff is now 'too political' because it doesnt align with their views, and that make the uncomfortable

Old DC either

That doesn't mean it didn't exist. Just like how the politics that were there in the movies these people watched as kids always existed, even if they didn't pick up on it.
Bucky, in his original inception, was a child soldier (gee, nothing political about that!) who is an ace sniper working alongside Cap during WWII. He eventually gets killed, and stays that way for decades, until the 2000s when Brubaker brought him back as The Winter Soldier to tell another incredibly political story.
Also, who is that Bucky guy is ? Marvel's version of Robin ?

Ghostbusters 2016 isn't getting "erased." It was never part of the original continuity to begin with.
What about the movie was toxic? Whenever I see people throwing that word around with that movie, the only thing I ever see them complaining about is the female leads. I'm not saying that you're doing the same, but that's the only lasting take that I ever see from people that are still so upset about it that they are still clinging to and citing it all these years later.
You're doing the wrong thing. You haven't seen the film, but the opinions of the people who watched it and concluded that people are wrong. Things don't work that way. GB2016 is disgusting film. It received well-deserved criticism and I'm glad that this junk will be erased thanks to Afterlife.
You can't compare this trash to Fury Road, SW ST and Dark Fates. I agree - these films have received undeserved criticism. However - they were not toxic. IDK about Captain Marvel - I have not watched it, so I think it's right not to talk about this film.
I haven't seen the 2016 Ghostbusters, but nothing about the trailers seemed "toxic" or "agressive" to me. I just didn't think it looked particularly good (I'm not really a Paul Feig fan), so I opted to skip it.
You know what did seem toxic and aggressive? The "fans" that bitched over and over and over again about the fact that the movie starred women and just couldn't let that go, to the point where they are still holding onto it like it was some personal offense against them. And then they did it again to Star Wars. And to Mad Max. And to Terminator. And to Captain Marvel. Etc, etc. And it was pretty disgusting, every single time they used that as their complaint.
You are digging too deep. People just don't want another toxic and aggressive abomination like GB 2016.
