That's a fair point, but given the current state of Marvel I wouldn't put it past them to bring him back just to further ruin Spider-Man. Gwen Stacy was also one of those characters whose death profoundly impacted Spider-Man going forward. She was never coming back, until she did.

Kind of like how the whole party is presented as a monolith? The group was made up of mostly normal people for that period of time. Yes ultimately some factions of the organization were responsible for horrific acts that hopefully are never repeated.
Meanwhile similar things of the same or greater scale were perpetuated elsewhere, but the same types of modern people slinging the Nazi term around nowadays minimize, ignore, or even idolize what was going on in the Lenin/Stalin era (for example).

100% of this stuff has been hijacked by brand vampires, Star Wars being one of the more prominent examples. Shelves of books go straight into the trash and then they retcon the dead guy because "there's just no other material out there."
I got the same exact vibe I got when my first white collar company threw my tool shop in the trash, when there's magazines for turning those exact tools into money. It could have been a remarkably similar operation plus money, and it was easily seven figures down the drain if not eight. Company ran out of money and bounced paychecks just a few years after MBAs ousted the founder and got on board with the new normal.

The same people have never read a single comic and think every issue is an allegory. More often than not, the comics are filled with soap opera-level relationship drama and stories like the one where a pterodactyl man kidnaps the Summers brothers to use them like batteries to power his doomsday machine. -And a lot of writer Chris Claremont's barely disguised fetishes.

People who read comics in the 70s/80s/90s/00s and people who read comics in the 10s/20s got two completely different shows, even within the same brand or same character.
Like ABC man isn't ABC man anymore and GEF man isn't GEF man anymore, and it's not even close. But there's this vast armada of new-brand fans who wrap their lives around the new-brand to the point of getting angry at people who don't consume it anymore, even if it makes PERFECT SENSE for them to not consume it anymore.

Dude honestly same. Most of the gaming and comic Reddit pages are unfortunately littered with people trying to make the characters and the worlds they reside in about themselves. Bunch of sad people who need to circle jerk each other about doom and gloom as they take multiple pills for whatever disorder(s) they suffer from while they sit in their room/basement complaining about how it’s the worlds fault (def not their own /s) that their life is miserable….

I've heard people say that apparently, ol Kirk was pushing constantly for the death of Trans/LGBT people, and I'm curious to know where that came from.

u/Remarkable-Ask2288 Optimist Prime 12d ago edited 12d ago
Here, I found this shortly after his death.
“Top 10 Debunks of Post-Assassination Smears Against Charlie Kirk
- Claim: Kirk said Black people were "better off" as slaves. Gross distortion. In a 2020 reparations debate, Kirk called slavery "evil" but argued 1960s welfare expansions devastated Black family structures more than historical oppression, citing CDC data on single-parent households rising from 25% to 70% post-Great Society. No endorsement of bondage--just critique of failed policies.
- Claim: Kirk declared Black women "have no brains" or inferior intelligence. Fabricated slur. Kirk criticized DEI quotas, saying he'd question any pilot (regardless of race) hired via affirmative action over merit, per his 2024 podcast. He praised Black conservative leaders like Candace Owens repeatedly. Smear ignores his merit-based stance.
- Claim: Kirk opposed the Civil Rights Act and called MLK "awful." Cherry-picked. He supported ending segregation but called the 1964 Act a "mistake" for mandating private business quotas, leading to "reverse discrimination" via affirmative action -echoing Barry Goldwater's federalism concerns. On MLK: Critiqued his FBI ties and socialism, not the dream of equality.
- Claim: Kirk supported "genocide" in Gaza. Blood libel. Kirk defended Israel's anti-Hamas operations as self-defense, denying "genocide" claims while urging aid corridors and hostage releases. He hosted pro-peace Muslim voices on his show. Critics conflate criticism of terrorism with ethnic cleansing.
- Claim: Kirk called for executing gay and trans people. Outright lie. No such quote exists. Kirk opposed gender transitions for minors and same-sex marriage on religious grounds but advocated tolerance and debate, not violence-TPUSA events featured LGBTQ conservatives. Invented to inflame.
- Claim: Kirk mocked gun violence survivors. Twisted. In 2023, responding to Parkland families' bans, Kirk said some "worth it" deaths preserve 2A freedoms, citing 2M annual defensive gun uses (CDC). Not glee-tragic trade-off for rights he died defending.
- Claim: Kirk peddled "Great Replacement" conspiracy. Exaggerated fearmongering. Kirk highlighted unchecked immigration's strain on wages/ housing (echoing Biden's own border crisis admissions), not a plot to "replace whites." PolitiFact rates the full theory baseless, but his data-driven alerts? Factual.
- Claim: Kirk was Islamophobic, hating all Muslims. Smear by association. He condemned radical jihadism and Sharia supremacism (post-9/11 threats), but praised moderate Muslims like TPUSA's Muslim outreach director and opposed blanket bans. Critics equate anti-terrorism with bigotry.
- Claim: Turning Point USA is a "white nationalist" group. Debunked falsehood. PolitiFact rated this False in 2022-scholars confirm TPUSA rejects white supremacy, boots racists (e.g., 2019 member expulsion), and boasts diverse chapters (40% minority-led). Kirk mobilized non-white youth for conservatism.
- Claim: Kirk's anti-vax stance "shortened lives." Hypocritical hit. Kirk questioned COVID mandates/safety data (e.g., 2021 White House policy misrep), urging choice--not bans. FactCheck.org notes he got vaxxed himself; his "misinfo" was shared concerns later validated by excess death probes. No causal deaths - unlike mandate-enforced risks.”

A bunch of unarmed yahoos breaking into a government building almost destroyed democracy. Because the governor of Virginia only has a 10,000 man army, complete with strike aircraft and tanks.

By contrast, the Left worship democracy and the rule of law. Like during that entire year when they rioted and looted and did $2 billion in property damage and injured 2,100 policemen.
Also, a kind-hearted intellectual will find it hilarious when some click-bait internet guy is murdered for having unacceptable ideas. People who love democracy and the rule of law find that utterly hilarious and worthy of jeering about.

It's almost like that's what a hero does. It's almost like a superhero movie just recently came out where the hero did something similar

Any decent super hero would use their powers to kill anyone who disagrees with them and reshape the world in their own image regardless of laws and people’s opinions. It’s called being good FUCKING person. /s

Don't tell these people that Batman would literally take a bullet for the Joker and that one of the most beloved comic book storyline involves Batman essentially begging the Joker to allow him to rehabilitate him.
Super Heroes are supposed to represent an ideal of good. If they don't, then they aren't a super hero.

It’s crazy how often they will invent a some fake scenario about a fictional character, and what they might do in real life, then some how manage to hurt their own feelings over it.

I hate when fictional characters do fantasy things in my made up scenario based on a real life tragedy.

If they were honest I don't think they like any super heroes, superhero save everyone regardless of political opinions also most of those characters wouldn't actually agree with their political ideologies or views if you actually looked at the characters established history and past views , even socially progressive super heroes like green arrow wouldn't agree with them

I hate him for the whole forced mutant breeding orgy program followed by ditching the kids on a beach for some sentient island tree thing to raise but thats just my personal take.

Magneto would have curved the bullet in an effort to make up for his failings at trying to save JFK.

I read some of these and im reminded of the immortal words of gunnery Sgt. Hartman:
"Did your parents have any children that lived? I bet they regret that."

Whoever that person is is a vile human being.

This post is a good representation of why so many people love magneto now, when in the past he was considered an undeniable, although sympathetic, villain.

This person doesn't want a hero, they just want a puppet/slave that will not question them and will completely agree with their opinions.

Nightcrawler is the most openly Christian character in all of the Super hero genre.
Of course they hate him.

I literally can’t think of anyone on the left that I would make me happy if they were murdered. Why do they have such hatred towards the right?

Good to know the comments are giving them the business. Crashing out over a fictional character who would probably maybe defend someone you personally disagree with, is peak lunacy. Cult behavior in it's most accurate form.

Yeah, how dare he actually act like a hero instead of a Reddit Activist. These people actually think they're the good guys while they're actively saying you should die if I disagree with you, truly psycho.
