Marvel Babies: The Latest Idea From the Shack of Shite

Comments on this: one. Add your own. File Under: Comics. Taggified as: Comics, Marvel, Marvel Babies, wrong, WTF  If you ever needed proof that Marvel has downgraded from their previous moniker of "The House of Ideas," then this is it. Jeff Lange over at Jim Hill Media went into the sanity-testing hell that is the 2006 Licensing Show and survived. He also brought back pictures. And Baby Hulk isn't the worst of it. Click to see more. Forget "The Baby Stooges" which appear on that page...Marvel has decided to go the way of Muppet Babies and bring you Marvel Babies. The questions that arise from such a dumbass idea are fairly limitless: will Baby Wolvie have claws that pop from his hands? Or will they be spoons? Will Baby Hulk have a mental crisis and spawn Baby Grey Hulk? Will Baby Gwen Stacy fall out of a crib and...and...aw, man, that's not right. That's just not right.

Good gravy, this entire write up makes me want to vomit bloody stroller parts. =(
Here I was thinking the discussion was simply about Marvel's bad idea regarding the Baby product line and its continuity issues. (Granted, offering the words "Marvel" and "continuity" in the same sentence is often ironic enough.)
But Jesus Christ on a chocolate cross! Baby STOOGES? Great idea. Teach kids in their Terrible Twos that it's ok to smack around their friends and siblings to help solve problems. Fucking genius, you assholes!
And for fuck's sake, do we really need to bombard our kids with toilet and ghetto humor from the Wayans with Thugaboo? I'd prefer they took this and marketed it much like the Boondocks - market the misadventures of life in the hood to ADULTS so you can go as raunchy as you want. That way, those of us who miss Fat Albert and remember what it was like can laugh at it that much more without damaging the psyche of our youth anymore than what it already gets.
GAAAAH!
