The fact that there is even hate... :/ :/ *stares blatantly at other Marvel film that deserves hate*

Right?! I don't even know which Marvel film you're talking about but I am aggressively agreeing anyway because I can think of at least two shady upcoming Marvel movies and one terribad past Marvel movie that people should be talking about more but are not.

People who talk about comics with me are my favorite kind of people.

That cover thing confused me so much?????? Also the fact that they aren’t actually writing a normal one-off the Spider-Man picks up on the “8th issue” of an arc that they’re pretending had 7 previous issues and we’re on the last chunk idgi

this is the kind of shit they shouldnt do because it freaks out new readers

The only really relevant current-ish Vision thing I'd say is the Avengers Assemble Annual from last year that was all about him that shit had me bawling. I hope he'll see Wanda but I don't think Remender is done sullying her yet

I know, right?!! That shit was heartbreaking, but at the same time, I'm really glad they finally started acknowledging the fallout. It's like they aggressively ignored Vizh for the longest time.

I don't think we'll be seeing anything good between Wanda and Vizh for a while. The owner of the comic store that I frequent has some friends in the industry, and he told me that they said the current era of Marvel writers doesn't like them together. (Specifically, he mentioned Bendis.) Obviously, I'm taking this with a grain of salt, but it sure as hell feels true to me.

Happy to help~ I tried reading the first issue because of Vizh finally since I'm allowed to borrow stuff at work but I couldn't make it and it got canceled and no one actually seemed to enjoy it so I'm just holding out he's in something else soon.

Hmm. Well, I had planned to get around to it eventually--just not as immediately as I originally planned when I first found out about the crossover. Is the writing that bad?

Either way, this sucks. The only title that Wanda is in is Uncanny Avengers, which for obvious reasons I won't be touching with a ten-foot pole, and apparently Vizh's title is boring and cancelled? jesus fucking christ

Oh. That makes sense, thank you. I know about Marvel NOW and Avengers A.I., but I never picked up that title. Mostly because of that one issue where they DID A CROSSOVER WITH UNCANNY AVENGERS SPECIFICALLY BEFORE WANDA DIED and they just didn't go for it. They just...nothing happened. (???)

So I never picked up Avengers A.I.

That's the actual concerning part. And the WTNV people were so cool about it and tried to give them more than one chance from the sound of it but they just fucked up. It's ridiculously conceited to think you can just get a little cash and bam there's a con. People make their livelihoods planning these cons, they start planning the next con the moment they finish one it's not ~lol hay in your spare time let's make a con~ and you have to think of so many little details and have investors and all sorts of stuff and it sounds like it was all done online not in person which is a clusterfuck in itself. Seeeeriously like where do I fit into this because I'm not interested in that facet of tumblr at all. Wanna have a superwholock con/meetup? Do that instead, please have your discussions, but don't try to make your one segment seem like all of tumblr. And frankly some of the "panels" seemed outright too much. BDSM? Where are you getting that from? Fanon BDSM? Are you promoting the harmful, 50 Shades stuff to kids (since it sounds like they may not have been checking ages right)? Knotting? It's one thing to have that within fandom but I don't want to have people go "tumblr. Oh, the knotting and BDSM right?" I don't want that associated with me because I have a tumblr for crying out loud. You just can't make it happen!!! This is too diverse a medium why did you people wrap so much money up in something that should have died in a "dreamland" text post

See, the newest con that I knew of before DashCon was VidCon, and it was started by Hank Green. That guy has his own company. You can't just jump into something like this with both your eyes closed. Clearly, that's what these people did. Everything they did was super-ambitious for their level of experience, and the results are just painful to watch. I can't get over the fact that there is video footage of this monstrosity that will be immortalized on YouTube.

...wait, what? I just noticed the BDSM and Omegaverse panels. Why are there panels for those things? Yeah, that's my second question: why are there panels for this?

ALL of these panels seem outright too much. (There's an entire panel for bronies!!) Damn son, when we said "WHY ISN'T THIS A THING" we didn't actually mean to make it a thing.

All of this, really. I've been periodically reading people's firsthand experiences for the past few hours and it's just wild. The poor planning is one thing but getting thousands of dollars involved in poor planning and actual professional individuals involved is completely another. It'sn ice to want to meet your fellow tumblr-ers! There have been tumblr meet-ups in cities that are low-key and they've worked, but this was just poorly conceived. Tumblr is too wide a medium to have a "con" specifically for it. You can't possibly cover every interest people on here have while so many people associate tumblr with "fandoms" it's clearly more so focusing on the "big three" fandoms isn't an all-inclusive event in the first place. Like cons need to be focused things. Have a Supernatural con or a Doctor Who con or whatever individual thing so you can organize it around that theme for those people. You can't smash something as huge as "TUMBLR" into one convention it's not feasible

RIGHT? And I feel like the most mortifying thing out of all this is the WTNV fiasco. They actually got the cast--like, WTNV legit sat down and said "we'll do it"--and then they walked out because they couldn't handle the bullshit anymore. And that con was Tumblr. That con was like, the public face of Tumblr. Is that how WTNV will view Tumblr from now on? Filthy, scheming, scamming liars? With a ball pit. Oh god I'm going to die from embarrassment.

It's like a meeting with a celebrity you've always wanted to meet gone horribly wrong.

Also, I'm glad you brought up the thing about Superwholock. And oh my fuckin god, the "Tumblr Pantheon". Good for the convention organizers, I'm glad they enjoy those fandoms so much. ....but that's one side of Tumblr. I'm over here with my Marvel ladies and side-eyeing that panel for British men's cheekbones reeeeeaaal hard.

Seriously, imagine reddit trying to organize a convention. Or Twitter. There you go, that's #1 on my list of 99 questions: why the flippity fuck did they try to organize a convention for an entire social media website?
