112 Siege of the city

Two negative events associated with "superheroes" have made more and more voices questioned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've known for a long time that superhero comics aren't good, and these incomprehensible stories are all about teaching bad kids......"

"There are so many negative elements in superhero comics, and this is led by Batman: Year One. In Frank Miller's fictional Gotham City, there is hardly a good guy in it, and even the only two positive characters, Batman and Captain Gordon, one is a violent lynchist and the other is a cheating moral dregs. These things will bring a lot of dark things to the children, and it is really scary to think about it......"

"In a way, superhero comics promote a state of disorder, and these stories try to tell every reader that if you're strong enough, you can do what you want...... And this subtext, hidden under every mask, has been fully demonstrated by the events of Santa Fe......"

"I'm going to be fair here, in fact, the works of AC Comics, except for "Batman: Year One", are relatively gentle, but the comics of other comics are not like this, and violence and eroticism have become the biggest selling points!"

While the New York Daily News may seem like the same questions as AC Comics and Frank Miller, don't forget who created superhero comics...... Moreover, Frank Miller's Wonder Woman is sexually suggestive, right? ”

"Hehe, what the father of superheroes, what a new era of comics, it's simply the biggest joke of the century......"

Faced with such a situation, Meng Qi reacted very quickly.

His first coping strategy is still to start with comics, and use comics to reduce the pressure of public opinion.

In other words, he had to create a different superhero that would be enough to make the rhetoric of the superhero comics shaky.

And in the Marvel world, there is precisely one hero who fits the current situation that is not conducive to AC Comics and Frank Miller.

Spider-Man.

Peter Benjamin Parker is very different from the superheroes that Meng Qi has created before.

In terms of superpowers, he is not an alien, he is not born with divine powers, nor is he a rich boy who used money to build himself into a super soldier, he is an ordinary high school student - at least at the beginning of his appearance, and his spider ability also has a very clear source and way, that is, genetic mutation.

And in real life, with the current level of technology, it is completely impossible to obtain superpowers in this way.

This is Meng Qi telling readers and the media in disguise that superhero comics are just science fiction stories, please don't have anything to do with reality.

In addition, Spider-Man's most famous sentence: the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and it is also the first time that Meng Qi's character has said the relationship between superpowers and responsibility.

And the subtext of this sentence is that as a superhero, you must carry the expectations of the people for the abilities you have, and do the things that they can't do but someone must do.

The responsibility that superheroes must shoulder is clearly put on the table, which is an extremely positive response to the previous allusions of CW News Channel and the New York Daily News.

For these reasons, Meng Qi decided to adjust the Avengers' publishing plans after a small meeting with Joe Smith and Sunan.

Originally, according to the progress of the "Avengers" comics, in July, the heroes who appeared should be Hulk and Hawkeye, while Spider-Man would not appear until August.

But now this situation is not for Meng Qi not to change. He stayed up two all-nighters to revise the storyline of "The Avengers", and completed the creation of the first three comics of "Spider-Man" and "Thor", ready to be released in advance.

Moreover, Meng Qi realized that the publication of "Spider-Man" could no longer be like "Captain America" and "Iron Man", and it was necessary to wait until the characters appeared in "The Avengers" before launching the origin comics.

This time, Meng Qi directly let the three comics of "The Avengers", "Spider-Man" and "Thor" be launched simultaneously on July 1.

The adjustment of the publication plan allowed readers to see Spider-Man, a different superhero, as soon as possible, and that classic line also received a good response from supporters, and fans began to voice their support.

Soon, however, these positive voices were quickly drowned out in a larger wave of opposition.

Proponents know that these objections are incorrect and unreasonable, and the reason is simple: for example, the U.S. federal allows citizens to freely own guns, but you can't blame this law for the shootings that happen every year; If a person kills someone with a kitchen knife, it makes no sense for you to blame the person who made the kitchen knife.

However, even if the proponents understand the problem in the logic of these opponents, they seem to be a little powerless at this point, because those people have occupied the moral high ground, and have been blinded by what has been magnified, exaggerated, and distorted.

What is even more frightening is that "with great power comes great responsibility" was quickly distorted in the eyes of opponents into Frank Miller's practice of shirking responsibility.

According to their logic, since Frank Miller understood that responsibility was more important than ability, why not come up with the idea sooner rather than later, but wait until after these things have happened?

Obviously strong words, but people don't know how to refute them.

Supporters are dwindling, while opponents are growing.

Tens of thousands of parents of minors across the United States have created their own forums to discuss the dangers of superhero comics and the negative effects of these stories on minors, arguing that "superhero comics are not suitable for minors."

And then, the school and the community got involved, and they were essentially worried that something like Santa Fe would happen under the influence of superhero comics, and in fact, for schools and communities, they were more of a precautionary point of view, that is, they would rather believe that superhero comics were bad stuff than let him bring any harm and heroes.

If it's the parents, the school, and the community who are vocal in opposition and essentially want to protect minors, then what the church is doing is very nonsensical, and they feel that there are too many myths, werewolves, ghouls, vampires, and acts that defile God in superhero comics, so they want to boycott superhero comics.

Among the various groups of opponents, the church's practice is the most extreme, and according to incomplete statistics, there have been hundreds of comic burning in churches in various regions of the United States.

Eventually, other groups, such as feminists, re-emerged on the grounds that the female characters in superhero comics were too revealing and actually disrespectful to women.

Some of the comic book companies that insist that traditional comics are never published have formed a small coalition, pointing out that Frank Miller did not actually promote the occurrence of American comics, but brought about a kind of monopoly, and at the same time, they strongly called the Comet Award and Galaxy Awards organizing committees to cancel the nomination for "Batman: Year One."

Racists have also sided with the opposition on the grounds that "there is not a single black hero in the entire American Union."

The Catholic National High Literature Agency speaks directly with action, and they directly list all cartoons featuring female superheroes and cartoons bordering on violence as banned books. 、

The Veterans Association also began to march in the streets, accusing Frank Miller of portraying the hero as a useless dancer in the first issue of Captain America, which was an insult to the martyrs of World War II.

In short, the current situation is almost all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods appear one after another, opposing and resisting superhero comics for various reasons, and in just a few days, it has quickly formed a siege of the city.

In fact, Meng Qi is very aware that the publication of "Spider-Man" may not bring more positive impact, but this is only the first step in his whole layout, and at the same time, he is also very aware that in this short period of time, those opponents have gathered such a powerful force, if there is no one behind it, it is almost impossible.

However, Meng Qi is also bothered about these now, and before "Spider-Man" was released, he boarded a flight to Los Angeles alone, ready to start a difficult and lengthy negotiation.

ps: Although the plot is about to enter the high tide, I have to be very ashamed to tell you that now the unit has begun to write the most important material for a year, that is, the "Government Work Report", so, before this material is finalized, the update will not be too stable, please understand. Thank you.
