Why is Human Torch swimming in Iceman's body?

>>150086608 (OP)
His shorts should be tighter and show off his cute butt instead of blocking it

>>150086608 (OP)
what's he supposed to swim in

>>150086643
I don't know, a regular bath filled with water? Water not made up of your friends very essence.

>>150086631
Yeah. Maybe editorial stepped in on that one?

>>150086810
Men's fashion in the 80's were something

>>150087113
It's strange how masculine it still comes off as. At least in my eyes compared to now. Although to be fair you wouldn't see guys nowadays daring to wear cropped jeans or tops. I wonder what changed?

>>150087250
>I wonder what changed?
Got absorbed into the "gay" side of men's fashion

>>150087319
I guess that makes sense but I haven't seen too many gay men dress like that. No where I go to at least. More like pic related.

>>150087319
it was always the gay side of men's fashion. this was simply before the development of men's clothing designed to make them look like they were walking around in shapeless trash bags nobody wanted to look at.
>>150087401
different genres.

>>150086608 (OP)
This is actually too gay for some gay people.

>>150087625
Not for Anthony Oliveira, I guess.

>>150087578
>different genres.
Such as.

>>150088187
as in cutoffs are 'sporty' and practical as well as a look (and at this point fairly vintage, and they weren't so much gay as something that the gays incidentally enjoyed along with everyone else, but that other picture is doing vaguely european tour fashion.

>>150088291
Thanks for explaining, anon.

>>150087250
>It's strange how masculine it still comes off as.
lol
lmao
kek

>>150089174
You know what I mean. It comes off more macho, less flamboyant. Funny that I mention it considering how other sensibilities in the 80s in terms of fashion and culture seemed to be more out there than now.

>>150089211
>macho, flamboyant.
funny, as a gayfag, it comes off as both. I'm not surprised by that other anon's comment about if something is being absorbed as gay men's fashion, it comes off as uncool or "catching the queer," so it fell out of fashion from straights.

>>150089211
>>150089295
it's always been macho. the whole point of gay guys wearing it was that it was a type of macho fetish or performance, same as when they put on steel-toed boots, blue jeans and t-shirts (flannel optional). the goal is to luxuriate in masculinity. calling it gay is essentially calling macho signifiers gay. the t-shirt and jeans look was partially immune to stigma, though, because then the straights would have nothing to wear.

>>150086608 (OP)
That mustache is fucking disgusting.

>>150087664
That explains alot.

>>150089880
I hate the mustache for the most part. But there are some pages by certain illustrators where it doesn't look that bad. Though it's long since run it's course, I hope Johnny is rid of it some day soon.

>>150089934
Lol so the gay artist is the one that gave Johnny a handlebar? Is he gonna be wearing leather next?

>>150086608 (OP)
>>150087664
Think Anthony Oliveira will succeed in making Johnny bisexual unlike Dan Slott?

>>150086608 (OP)
It's sad when gay writers have to write straight men and can't contain their fetishes.

>>150089519
Yes, at that time gays were incognito in their fashion. It still looks super gay, only the black guy looks somewhat normal. But the only reason is because he seems uncomfortable wearing this.

>>150090991
>fetishes
What kind of fetish is swimming in the body of a melted cryokinetic?

>>150091237
think of the water tentacles

>>150091281
Always it has to come to tentacles. I'll pass. Though I do like the idea of fire and ice. I have always wondered what would happen if Johnny and Bobby were intimate with one another in their alt forms. Would the bedroom become a sauna?

>>150087250
i suppose being a man wearing fag clothes is still more "masculine" than being a low test femboy wearing literal women's clothing like we have today.

>>150090918
No, Johnny had the handlebar mustache long before Oliveira got into the picture. I think it's been well over a year that he's had it.

>>150087625
This whole book is too gay and shitty to be worth reading

>>150091877
Say it ain’t so

>>150091237
Pretty cleanly definited as transformation, right

>>150086608 (OP)
Does anyone even read current Avengers Academy?

>>150091634
Those were straight clothes, anon. This kind of fashion persisted into the 80s, with the shorts lasting even longer and making a bit of a comeback recently. Gays dressed different.

>>150092468
Not that anon but a good amount of gay dudes dressed like pic related. Though they did use some articles as a means of communicating. Particularly in clubbing scenes. Different colored bandannas were worn in back pockets of jeans to signify what you were into in terms of hookups.

>>150092485
Superheroes need their own hanky code.
>oh, he's interested in a street-level team-up!

>>150092501
Where would they keep them? Tied around their wrists? Not like their costumes have pockets.

>>150092530
Headgear detailing.

>>150092451
The carolfags do because they're desperate for content

>>150089934
I'm sad for Johnny. All he archived lately are those horrible moustaches and being the joke of the family. If Spiderman Is the eternal cuck, Johnny
I can't even be that because his relationships end immediately.

>>150090933
Carol's got more hints dropped so far and is a main character of the book, so it'll be her first if anything

>>150092540
Ah, makes sense.

>>150094183
She’s still been straight even after a near decade push? Not that I’m complaining but it’s surprising on both sides many thought she was into chicks. Even though in the comics she’s with Roadie.

>>150092857
Really?

>>150095888
It gets posted weekly in the Carol threads. It's kinda comfy tbqh.

>>150096570
They know how to treat a lady.

>>150090933
I really hope not. It's the laziest twist possible, retroactively taints all his relationships, and makes a bunch of material that much more difficult to adapt. All this while doing fuckall for the character.

>>150096986
> retroactively taints all his relationships
I’d agree if he was made gay like Bobby. But you are aware bisexuality is a mutual attraction to both sexes? Besides this dude boned aliens that had multiple genders. Plus there was also sexual tension between him and Daken. Thanks to Marjorie Liu’s writing.

what the fuck is wrong with marvel? why they keep employing these freaks? jesus christ. and there are fuckers still wondering why nobody buy comics anymore

>>150097812
It will probably amount to nothing.
