The Four Color Media Monitor

The screenwriter and occasional comics writer who'll likely be most known for his pretentious run on Spider-Man in the early 2000s that's now largely moot and irrelevant has laid out some of his ultra-leftist positions with the following:

I was in London during the Queen's Funeral but was not invited, and now, having not been invited to the Coronation, as far as I'm concerned the next time the Royal Family needs a favor, or to borrow some cash because they're a little light this month, they can sod off.

Based on his cynicism and his politics to follow, it's for the best if Buckingham Palace didn't invite him to see Charles and Camilla Phillips ascend the title of king and queen.

Same reason Americans tend to refer to a Democracy when it's a Democratic Republic. That's how we started. Where we went, where we are and where we're going, well, that remains to be seen, same as with the Centauri. https://t.co/gZLKSfCbAy

And that's based on how the left-wing he's part of goes about their business and ideologies. But I guess JMS is simply too obsessed with his own identity politics to ponder the ability of his own side to make mistakes, huh?

Whenever I see folks on the right protesteth too much that LGBTQ content is being "shoved in their faces" and "shoved down their throats" I sometimes wonder if there might be an element of "Oh, no, don't throw me in the briar patch!" buried in there somewhere. https://t.co/Zay3MUOcQT

Ah, now here's a most fascinating post he's written, attacking right-wingers for finding it even remotely galling how all this homosexual/transsexual content is being forced into entertainment products at the expense of merit and the well-being of children themselves. So JMS sees nothing wrong in any way with grooming and indoctrinating children at a young age? Well, that's very sad, but not unexpected coming from a Hollywooder in this age, where the USA's headed on a dismal trajectory.

Yes. I mean, let's be honest, it's so specific...the only thing lacking is a safe word... https://t.co/XGqV0WNk7v

And if safe words really matter, does he realize the F-bomb is definitely not?

The implication was they'd slept together. To be clear on this: before writing the arc I asked Claudia and Andrea if they'd be okay if I wrote their characters as lovers, and bisexual. They were absolutely on board, so this was a thing that would've gone deeper had Andrea stayed. https://t.co/pA4sB84orK

Was that in Babylon 5? I didn't see much of it back in the day, and this doesn't make me feel encouraged to try it in retrospective viewing now. But hey, it's been pretty apparent for years JMS is one of the most overrated Hollywood scriptwriters, and one of the most overrated comics writers too.

He would be a member of the GOP house intelligence committee. https://t.co/XHDYKVXnIQ

I'm guessing the character they mention was a villain, so no surprise he'd draw that kind of analogy, in what amounts to a most regrettable obsession these leftists have with viewing every conservative pundit as a curse upon the earth, while liberals are to be almost entirely overlooked and/or exonerated of any wrongdoing.

The leftist leanings of JMS aren't new, but his continued adherence to them shows he was very bad news for comicdom as much as for movies and TV shows. And maybe that's what influenced his truly awful run on Spider-Man, among other notable mainstream comic properties.
