Ok, I'm going to point myself as kind of the odd man out here, but I have no idea what the "gay thing" means. I actually never got to read any marvel comics or anything from DC for that matter. There were never really any comic shops around where I grew up. Anyone mind catching me up?

....Uhhh, that's right. Never happened.


Teehee.

[TheDub]

Ok. Then I'm gonna assume Batman and Superman got hitched at some point to scam an insurance company so Superman's kids could be taken care of incase he died or something.

Wow...it's been a long time since I've seen that movie. I forgot the whole point of it....

[gunzilla]

Good night everyone

[Scythe]

Bye, see you at home.

Recently in Marvel, more specifically X-Men, there was a gay marriage of an X-Man and his male partner. This no doubt was and is controversial. But considering the whole idea of the X-Men was a metaphor for civil rights, it's par for the corse if you ask me. Mutants are the minorities of the comic universe. Many hate them just because they're different. Despite the obvious, that they were born that way, that some mutant were good and some were bad, while still others a mixed bag somewhere in-between. They fought for equality or domination.

So now since we've done away with the comic code fascist BS that regulated content in comics for decades, the issues of our times can be more bluntly explored within the pages of our favorite comic books.

Which is good in my opinion. I enjoy real world issues mixed in with my fantasy. Makes it more real and can express ideas to some without them even realizing it. Note the comic fan racists, wondering "Why can't the humans just accept the mutants? Their people too." All the while in their real lives they would ignore the same logic to discriminate against others.

So now we have more social and political themes finding their way into comics. Sometimes discreetly and not often realized and other times they have two dudes making out and getting married.

The future is now...

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. I'm a freaking geek.

The more you know..?

Well put! As the token gay guy here, I approve. I don't discuss LGBT topics here, but this is thoughtful and insightful.

Thanks!

Yep- and the crate looks great for the occasional wharehouse diorama- lots of Spidey's fights happen there!

No insurance company is gonna cover them- Superman already died, Batman's adopted son died- both likely had big insurance payouts and then they came back from the grave- Bruce has had his back broken and got dipped in the Lazarus Pit so his medical situation is shakey at best...

Nope- Bruce is allll on his own- he can afford the medical bills provided he does not get cancer- then that billion is gonna go quick.

I guess I could pretend te invisible woman was in there too, lol

Anyone have one up for trade? Or the MU mr fantastic?

Hey bro no disrespect intended but I'm way to OCD to have the colors of Mr F & that thing in the same set up unless they were going to do a classic colors vs negative zone colors battle. This also explains why I have multiple versions of the f4 I guess my only advice, which seems you are already on, would be decide what version of the F4 you like and there you go

Thanks I don't recall any gay x-men, but I've only ever seen the movies and x-men evolution. I saw part of wolverine and the x-men though (did they ever make the 2nd season?)

Yeah man, I know what you mean, that bugged me too. That was just temporary till I ordered the actual f4 set. I ordered it last night. :3

I think the SHS human torch will still fit in with the actual set though, so I don't need to hunt down the MU one.
