So, today, Marvel published issues of comics revealing that in fact the Nazis were always supposed to win World War 2, and the Allies invented the Cosmic Cube to rewrite history to prevent that from happening. Steve Rogers, the Steve Rogers that Jack Kirby and Joe Simon invented to punch Hitler and fight Nazis back before the US was even IN World War 2, that Steve Rogers is a fake, not the REAL Steve Rogers, not the original or the genuine article – he was always originally a HYDRA agent, always supposed to be a Nazi.
That was released today. April 19th.
April 19th is the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest Jewish revolt during World War 2, the first urban uprising in Nazi-occupied Europe, begun when the Nazis decided to completely wipe out the Warsaw Jews on Passover eve. Instead, the Jews held out for nearly a month, with whatever they could fight with. They inspired Jews across Europe, including those already in the camps, to organize and revolt. They’re honored to this day.
And Marvel published their Nazi-stanning dumpster fire of a retcon today.
Okay, I wasn’t sure I was going to post about this, but WHOOPS YES I AM.
The addition to this post is very detailed, very good, and FIRE NICK SPENCER.
What the fuck are you serious! This shit is happening on purpose and Nick Spencer knows it is. There’s no way that he’s doing this shit to be “edgy” or it’s coincidence, he has a Nazi fetish or is one and he’s using the marvel universe to get off on it.
I mean he took two of the world’s most well known comic characters that had their histories tied explicitly into WW2 (a soldier who fought in WW2 for the Allies and punched Hitler. And a Jewish concentration camp survivor of the Holocaust) and turned them into Nazis. Then on top of that he has it now where everything in the mainstream Marvel universe from WW2 and beyond is supposed to have never happened.
He’s doing this shit on purpose and no matter what marvel does to retcon or stop this shit storm racist fans will blame Jewish people and SJWs saying “they made comics interesting and good but have into PC Culture.”
I saw a post circulating earlier that marvel’s marketing goons were trying to get comic shop employees to dress like hydra agents or w/e to promote all of this too. all of this, in the context of the historical anniversaries happening at this moment, and what is happening in the present day. at what point do we recognize this for what it is and stop thinking it’s simply about being provocative?
this is incredibly disturbing and people need to speak out on it. we need to write marvel & disney, organize, send a strong message as fans that this is unacceptable especially given what we are seeing irl with the rise of violent antisemitism and fascist sentiments. jewish fans/of color should not be standing alone on this either. we can’t let popular superheroes become propaganda tools for hate.
