How could anyone at that boardroom table have possibly thought this was a good idea? This must've been some kind of corporate decision that forced them to do it.
Girls don't like comic books. There might be a few here and there, but by and large it's about 95% man. In fact men don't like comic books! I know that there might be a subculture that's into it but it's certainly not mainstream.
Race has absolutely zero to do with this. This was just a stupid move. It's almost as if they were in an office and thought "let's make a muscle car directly aimed at women!"

Read the whole article. The sales are a disaster but the SJWs want to double down.

Remember the last time they made this claim, with Ghostbusters? "Our audience just hates having women leads!" is a coverup for the real reason fans don't like it: lazy shit writing. "The power of pain compels you!" and we're supposed to think this is good dialogue and well-written characters?

Yeah, how about make new characters if you want female characters. Nobody wants their favorite superhero turned into a twat.

If they want nigger super-heroes then they need to be reasonable about it: perhaps start with a sheboon who's "super power" is being literate and not obese.

Naw. I can see a sheboon superhero whose super power is shoplifting from WalMart and eating fried chicken. That would be realistic.
