What is it with these self-inserts? Are they so devoid of life experiences and achievements they have to put themselves into a comic book to feel like they've accomplished something with their lives?
Nigga, go get kidnapped or some shit.
Self-Inserts are the signs of failing/failed/terrible artists. Their imaginations are usually so limited, they have a complete inability to use any sort of empathy to project any other characters. Of course the dumb cunt creates basically an exact replica of herself as a superhero, because she has no imagination. She's not a creative. She's a rich brown girl, with rich parents who got diversity hired into a position of power and forces her shitty Mary Sue into issue after issue until completely bombing.
Also like D&C said, she's not a creative. She really has no interests in comics besides the point they push her ideology. I just want them to make a Ms. Marvel movie, because I guarantee that shit would be the first Marvel bomb. People are already predicting Captain Marvel will be their first bomb, but I don't think so. Its going to most likely have links to Infinity War and an interesting era, so there's more than just 'Grrrll power' there. The thing is she'll be the highest power superhero in that universe since Captain Marvel is basically Superman, so its interesting to see how they'll deal with that.
I think the major problem they're going to have is that they're going to have to not have her solve Infinity War, because people will get really pissed about a new-comer overshadowing basically a decade of story. I don't think they will, 'cause Marvel is smart, but you never know and they've not written themselves into a corner so there are a lot of possibilities. And with the Disney/Fox buy being official, holy shit.
(But tbh, the Black Widow movie is probably going to be more interesting. Fucking sucks they'll never do my dream movie of a Black Widow/Punisher cross-over though).
I thought TED was for intelligent, successful people.

They really diluted that brand with TEDx (which featured that insufferable woman defending pedophilia a while ago).
Fun fact: Anyone can do a TedX talk. All you have to do is pay them and you can have one. Its why Sam Hyde has one. On that note, its the only good TedX talk in existence. Also because of TedX, the brand is completely and fundamentally dead now. It used to mean something, but they basically destroyed themselves for allowing anyone to license out the name.
I have never seen the RealDoll industry (the utmost example of "industry that sells female sex objects") attack or try to control customers the way current American comics have. Nobody from that industry calls them names or tells women they can't get them or is concerned with what you do with them after the purchase (even if it's something crazy like "disposable stunt double in wild youtube video/movie"). By those standards, sex doll manufacturers have the moral high ground over comic creators today.
The problem is comic books have had their audience by the balls for years with nostalgia. I mean they suffered through some terrible shit. The problem is that there really isn't anywhere else for comics fans to go anymore except to just shrug and read back issues or previous stories. Which is what they've been doing. The thing is comics have been fucking cratering into the ground. The only thing keeping them alive is Disney basically using them as a vestigial marketing organ. I mean, look at who they fucking hire. They grab shitty writers and artists from tumblr and pay them garbage.
You've got your exceptions, but generally all this shit is run by petty faggots who LOVE that they have a job where they're basically not held accountable for the sales of their product. That's the hilarious thing. If Disney went up to this dumb cunt today, "Ok. You have to be in the black now and selling books. You have one year of running on our money before you're on your own." They would have NO idea what to do. Their new audience is nowhere. You got 5 (and only 5) Muslim Girls to buy 3 issues of Ms. Marvel. Congrats. Oh, but you are selling so bad you just lost 50 comic book stores who no longer order any books.
It would be impossible to fix without basically firing entire divisions and shutting whole books down. I mean, Marvel itself can't do its own fucking job of writing characters any more they have to farm them out to IDW. Its so pathetic. The only people left buying comics are the diehards, collectors and people forgot they put them on a perpetual order. There's no new audience, there's no new female audience and the original audience is disappearing to the point where the medium itself is basically becoming unsustainable. I don't think Disney itself cares all that much, they've got so much material for the next century they can endure Marvel and comics being pure dogshit while holding onto the IPs. What they won't do is let this dumb cunt near any of the good stuff (TV, Games, Movies). They saw what happened to Star Wars.
The value is in the video-games, movies and television shows where better creatives can flex their muscles. Comics are for failed writers who never want to get fired because they say the right words.
