revskip FWIW, the book wasn't my favorite but the writing was solid. That cover perfectly encapsulates the character.

smkspy said:Fair enough, but my strawman argument for you is that you're taking the single word "feminism" rather the entire phrase, the context of that cover being created in the first place, and the fallout afterwards. Knowing all of that, it's not hard to see why one might find this cover inappropriate.Then you tried to used that comics have always been political, but other than the characters (and initial Dark Reign story) themselves, the game is as out of touch with thematic ideas of the comics as you can possibly get. I take that part back, Iceman bio clearly makes an allusion to him finding out he is gay, but at least, it isn't staring you in the face every time one sees the cover.
smkspy said:As I said I love the cover(I don't even buy single issue comics anymore and when out to get this), especially for the fallout that occurred after it, but of all the covers they could have picked, D3 intently picked this BECAUSE they knew it would draw up controversy...I mean they needed something to distract us from her being a so-called demanded character lol.Anyways, that's the last I'll say of it. Bad move or not, she looks like a fun character though I wish they based her off her AoS or classic design tbt.

Stick said: I need to double check, but I think if she fires a board shuffle power, the tiles match still count for the opposing team. For example, I was doing the PvE and they had a Medusa on their team. I made the appropriate match 4, and Mockingbird's passive triggered, which fired Hair Meddle, which made a giant cascade that damaged their team, since it was still my turn. I think. I'm sleepy.Also, comic fans/gamers really need to stop getting triggered over the word "feminism" and it's variants. The world is a complex, scary place, and there really is much more important things to worry about.
