Nobody loves
Namor...
Poor,
broody Sub-Mariner!
Actually, despite what the cover implies,
some people do love Namor. You see, word has gotten out that the controversial fish-guy is joining the
Avengers, so we have dueling demonstrations!
The
Greatest Generation, you see,
reveres Namor for his help fighting the Axis in WWII:
Meanwhile, the
Baby Boomers kinds sorta remember the time Namor vowed to kill them all, and invaded the surface world:
Well, the
United Nations has forgiven Namor, at least in the name of political expediency...
I like to think that there's a
third demonstration, demanding that Namor
put some damn clothes on!!
But there's the generational divide, in one digestible nugget: your grandparents love Namor...
...and your parents hate him!
Which, of course, makes Namor
brood some more...
Of ocurse, this was all before Namor began advertising himself as a mutant, and destroying
Wakanda. So now,
Everybody Hates Namor!! (That's an actual sitcom in Marvel-616, I think...)
From Avengers #270 (1986)

It could be worse. They could be openly mocking him like poor Aquaman.
