Marvel outrage after diversity, female characters blamed for sales

Marvel has found itself in an online civil war after a top executive suggested too much diversity and female characters were to blame for declining comic sales.

The issue started when the company’s vice president of sales, David Gabriel, was asked by geek culture trade magazine ICv2 at the Marvel Retailer Summit why the company’s numbers were down. His reply: “What we heard was that people didn’t want any more diversity. They didn’t want female characters out there. That’s what we heard, whether we believe that or not. I don’t know that that’s really true, but that’s what we saw in sales.”

Recent storylines have included black female character taking over as Iron Man, a biracial Spider-Man, a female version of Thor, and a Muslim teenage girl as the new Ms. Marvel.

Continued Gabriel: “We saw the sales of any character that was diverse, any character that was new, our female characters, anything that was not a core Marvel character, people were turning their nose up against. That was difficult for us because we had a lot of fresh, new, exciting ideas that we were trying to get out and nothing new really worked.”

Note that Gabriel isn’t saying Marvel thinks that diversity and female characters are a problem but rather that’s the feedback he’s getting from many retailers. But still, Gabriel’s comments were met with quick anti-Marvel criticism online with readers hitting back with other reasons for their flagging interest:

If it wasn't for remakes the entertainment business would be out of business. No original thought left. ZERO creative juices!

Marvel Comics...a product of (((Martin Goodman))), (((Stan Lieber))) aka "Stan Lee," and (((Jacob Kurtzberg))) aka "Jack Kirby."

(((They))) have discovered that the Goyim will only go so far into fantasyland.

How is this a shock to anyone? The primary audience for comic books are young white nerdy boys, which is why the superheroes used to all be white nerdy boys too, so they could fantasize about being heroes! No 6th grade nerdy white boy wants to read about a moslem female hero, they can't possibly relate!

Fantasy from real life is huge to really, any sci-fi fan can relate.

Marvel Inc, is laughing all the way to the bank, due to the charter movies in recent years and Stan Lee is Grinning even as old as he is loving it, good entertainment evil vs good.

Now evils viewpoint may see things differently, as some here can relate.

Hoot
