Boycotting Marvel

[Believer1997]

I was told I was a crazed lunatic as a parent by a young woman who shall remain nameless.... she calls me nightly to tell me of the parental terrors she has faced each day with a 2 year old.....

I never did understand my Mamma when she would chuckle and say things like "I hope you have lots of children"..... Then ... I started saying the SAME thing to my little angels... and now my daughter thinks Ive the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon (this is amazing since I was such a horribly stupid parent when she was young.... ) Revenge is sooooo sweet sometimes.

While we are on the boycotting roll, I wanted to mention that a boycott started against Marvel comics. . . .

So in the end, divorce bad for kids, but selling souls to the devil, A-ok!

Actually, Marvel has been doing stuff like this for years. Look up Ilyana Rasputin (Magik) or Madelyne or Ghost Rider or . . . .

I'm not saying you are wrong for your feelings or convictions. Just making a note of Marvel's path.

While we are on the boycotting roll, I wanted to mention that a boycott started against Marvel comics.

The reason is that recently Spider-man was planned to be seperated from his wife Mary-Jane. The editors decided that divorce would be too anti-family so instead they opted to have Spider-man make a deal with Mephisito (the marvel equivalent of Satan) to rework history to save his aunt but give up his wife.

So in the end, divorce bad for kids, but selling souls to the devil, A-ok!

Yeah.

Plus the women in skin tight outfits with curvacious bodies and magical powers along with their lycra covered male counterpoints.

All healthy (not) childhood reading. Barbie dolls, comics and magazines. Before we even get to televion and the music industry.

No wonder our culture is so sex driven.

PS. And interested in magic and supernatural power.

[Believer1997]

Maybe it's just me.... but I never saw "Barbie" as a sex symbol. Just a pretty lady that I liked to dress up and play with. I don't think my years of playing with her warped my sense of values or gave me an unhealthy view of women's roles. My daughter also played with Barbie and she seems to have turned out fine, too. I think this is something people make too much of.

Don't expect Marvel Comics to reflect Christian values. I know I don't.

[Bold Believer]

I do agree about the comic book though... I was always very cautious of what my kids were reading and what they collected and what video games they played, etc. When they got older and were able to question things and were able to discern between things that were not "right" - we discussed why they weren't allowed access to certain things at a young age. I am so very blessed... God gave me (a 'Twinkie') very smart children who sensed early on what was not appropriate. They are adults now and one is a parent. She is very conscious of what things she doesn't want her child to have part of... and she is instilling some good habits in the little one... We are blessed.

Truly you are sister. I too censored things for my children. And now they do the same. Just wish I could censor what the school is teaching my granddaughter.

Blessings.

You can...get them out of the Magogite school and into one which teaches Christian values. Get your church to start a school or find one in your area, or even home school. Government schools are turning out little bastards (in the Hebrews 12:8 sense)

Nope, not 80, only 28.

I used to read comics when I was a teenager and just sometimes keep up with stories w/ friends who still have the money to waste on buying them.
