Marvel Comics Reveals Comunidades Variant Covers Highlighting Their Greatest Latino And Latinx Superheroes

too bad the ghost rider show was scrapped

I thought nobody liked the term "latinx"

Those first three covers are pretty cool

Stop calling us latinx!

My co-worker doesn't even let me joke about the phrase Latin-X. She said she, or her people weren't in the room when it was decided that you can just change the name of her heritage. There are also issues of gender erasure inherent in the word itself. Latino. Latina. It worked fine... Up until like a couple years ago, when a few power tripping people decided anything incompatible with their limited world view is to be eradicated, or at least clumsily deconstructed. Look, I'm not an expert on this. I'm black, I don't have the same heritage as her, but from what I hear, she is far from the only one a bit more than annoyed at the phrase. Don't even get me started with how much my people have been used as a political prop especially as of late.

@JoshWilding please stop using Latinx, it's an insulting word created by white people given to us. Nobody likes it, nobody uses it, you can't pronounce it in Spanish and it will never be embraced by the Latino community.

On that note, Marvel sucks with their Latino representation, just look at the Marvel group picture taken a few years back, Michael Pena was the only Latino in it. They have no Latino super powered people in their movies, no, Gamora and Salma Hayek's characters don't count since they're aliens, and scrapped the Ghost Rider series with no intentions of bringing back Robbie Reyes. The picture above in reality sucks, I mean Miles Morales? But I thought he was being used for the Black History posters? America Chavez sucks and is also an alien. Who's that reptile guy? or the one behind him? And then Sam Alexander and Robbie Reyes are legacy characters who the people on these type of websites keep complaining about and would rather see the original versions on the big screen (Richard Rider & Johnny Blaze respectively). So the only real Latina that Marvel really has that nobody complains about is White Tiger.

But I grew up liking Iron Man, so whatever, I never read comics to "see myself in them", just read those stories to enjoy them without looking at color or having Marvel pander to me like they're trying to right now.
