Give Marvel credit where it's due... Guardians of the Galaxy anti-bullying covers

[icon_uk]

Marvel have a LOT of publicity going for their Guardians of the Galaxy characters, and with the likes of Chris Pratt (who kept the Star Lord costume so he could make Hospital visits to sick kids in it), some very good PR, so I can only applaud them for this



From Comicosity, Marvel are teaming up with Stomp out Bullying in October, which is also National Bullying Prevention Month.







Well okay, this one's not Guardians of the Galaxy, but it's Captain America, who was bullied a lot as kid Steve Rogers, and who so he gets a pass.



This ones not Guardians of the Galaxy either, but Bruce Banner was also canonically a bullied child and the Hulk has little time for bullies either.

Re: Anti-Bullying is Bunk

I don't disagree with you about the anti-bullying thing being something that's a nice "feel good" thing that accomplishes nothing. I also agree with you that encountering bullying and pushing through it are important things for personal growth.

That being said, I'm a little confused as to how these covers reflect anything along those lines. I don't think there's anything wrong with standing up for someone else and befriending loners.
