Amazing Spider-Man #674 preview

[cyberghostface]

Look's like Carlie decided to come back from her home planet...and with a new makeover to boot.



So once again, Carlie's Mary-Sueness is in full effect, having deduced what the cops around her couldn't figure out (especially since this isn't the first time in the Marvel universe that supervillains have killed people via dropping them from heights) and ends up looking better for it with the cops disrespecting her. Seriously, look at that cop's sneer. Poor Carlie, how could anyone hate her?

Of course, turns out Carlie has yet another new look with her only distinguishing factor in her appearance being that she has glasses.

Just a reminder, this was how Carlie looked last issue. This is becoming ridiculous now--has anyone ever thought of making a model sheet for the character to pass around to new artists for some sort of consistency? She's been around for years now and no artist has agreed on what she should look like.

Calling her an alien? That's pretty textbook dehumanizing.

It's a reference to Poochie from the Simpsons...

[valtyr]

An alien dog? Surely doubly dehumanising.

An alien dog voiced by Homer Simpson! Inhumanity cubed!

[schmevil]

Why are we doing the Poochie thing again? Come on.

Comics: dehumanizing Superman every day since 1938.

It was a reference to a joke that somebody made in the last last Carlie thread. A joke that got somebody banned.


Also, it seems like this board has a generally good attitude towards aliens.

...A joke that got somebody banned...

Uh, no. It didn't. I personally thought a couple of the jokes had creepy-ass lol!fridging overtones and asked a mod about it. Two people who made jokes got mod notes. Somebody else who white-knighted for them after the fact (and was a complete butthead about it), got banned.

Go back to the top of that thread and read it again, if you don't believe me.

....I didn't say that the person who posted the joke got banned. I said the joke got somebody banned. No joke would've meant no white-knighting and no ban.

[cleome45]

Not how I would've put it, but... okay.

Well,

[pervymax]

That really seems like.....quite a stretch.
