  1. For those who may not know, Marvel under Kevin Feige have been trying to adapt the new diverse range of Marvel comics intended to promote female super heroes as replacements for the traditional established super hero male role models, I far as I can see this has not been a success with declining sales for Marvel comics being blamed on diversity, according to Marvel’s vice president of sales David Gabriel. 63% of comic books and graphic novels are bought by males who still prefer traditional male super heroes, the need for maintaining the popularity of male super hero characters is obvious even with the apparent political necessity for inclusion happening in American production studios like Disney.

    1. The problem is that they have been making female or other versions of existing comics which have 100s or 1000s of episodes in them that collectors have been buying. This has been happening at a time when comic book sales have been declining for 20 years due to competition from the internet, TV and movies. It doesn’t help that Marvel has been retconing and rebooting and using crossovers to try and force collectors to buy more comics. This hasn’t worked at they have failed to generate the new readers away from free entertainment on the internet to keep sales ticking over.

      1. Yes, you make good points, the recent Spider-Man No Way Home is an example of the multiverse concept Marvel chooses to use to keep changing characters and plot scenarios that suits whatever story development direction Marvel Studios or Disney want to go, though this successful movie was a Sony Picture release. I did omit to say that the crossovers were detrimental to sales, especially as most comic book collectors are predominantly in the older age group.
