Seconded.

Well, it depends on whose laundry it is.Tonguez said:You think women doing laundry is kinky? -

I'm sure someone at Marvel went through the DVD before it was released, but WOW, whoever approved that deleted scene on the DVD should be fired.
Find something else, then.Steel_Wind said:Honestly?
I am far more offended with Mary Jane in a thong doing laundry.
Yes. Seriously.
One says something about gender roles and society; the other says something about kinky fantasies.
Meh.
bento said:But releasing this DVD with the F-bomb dropped very prominantly, is very disappointing. Same can be said for some of the scenes from the movie itself, such as Kitty Pryde's banter with Juggernaut.
Meh. You're sensationalizing. This illustration is quite understated when compared with what genuine hentai depicts. It's PC-13 at best, while hentai goes into quadruple X's.horacethegrey said:Mate, I've seen covers of hentai doujinshi that are tamer than that.
As with the Mary Jane laundry "controversey", my advice is to stop whipping yourself up into a frenzy. Calm down. This is much ado about nothing. Whether or not comics will ever become an "accepted literary medium" (whatever the heck that means), it better not hinge on the entire medium adopting a masterpiece-theatre level of sobriety and sophistication. TV, movies, novels--these all employ tintalization to makes sales, I don't know why some folks get all excited when comics do the same.horacethegrey said:Why the hell are they shooting themselves in the foot by running a cover that's sure to generate a lot of controversy?! And it doesn't just affect them, mind you. This will generate some negative press for the whole comic industry itself (in fact, it already is. If you frequent the various comics news blogs decrying that cover). So say goodbye to the notion that comics are an accepted literary medium in the public's eye.
*sighs* It's times like this that make me ashamed to be a comic fan. Stupid Quesada and his lack of editorial responsibility.
I did say that the subject I was referring to was the covers of most h-doujin I've seen rather than their interior content. Believe me, this cover is hardly understated, and bound to give any parent who buys their kids comics the wrong idea.Felon said:Meh. You're sensationalizing.

The Mary Jane statue I agree was something completely blown out of proportion (come on, it was a fully clothed woman doing the wash! Jeez :\ ). But this is different. It's irresponsible marketing on the part of Marvel. They've stamped a cover that is best suited for a mature title on a teen rated book. It's a sleazy ploy designed to jack up sales on a title that I've learned is suffering from low sales. And I have big problem with that.Felon said:As with the Mary Jane laundry "controversey", my advice is to stop whipping yourself up into a frenzy. Calm down. This is much ado about nothing.

Nah. Give that guy or girl a raise.bento said:I'm sure someone at Marvel went through the DVD before it was released, but WOW, whoever approved that deleted scene on the DVD should be fired.
