How does it make sense?

I bet there are twenty different Iron Man action figures (including not a few of him in suits of armor that don’t even appear in the movies), but NOT a single one of Black Widow.

The only thing I can figure is that Disney is insanely paranoid that they are known only for their princess movies and merchandise, and thus little boys may not take them seriously* if there is any situation that allows Disney’s merchandising wing to imagine the taint of those terrible Girl Cooties being on any of…

Yeah. I know I would have been extremely annoyed as a kid if I couldn’t complete my Star Wars heroes set with Leia!

I guess they consider ANY superhero toy as “boy” toys and adding any sort of girl figure to those lines would not sell, because boys will NEVER want to play with a girl action figure and girls NEVER play with action figures, as we all know.

Yes it is stupid and there is surely a market for it, but it may be smaller…

Your wife knows what’s up.

“No taking from my pile.”

The people screaming and running for their lives is where the stakes come from. Those people are what matters and the movie never lost sight of that. Tony Stark saved people while getting pummeled by the Hulk. Quicksilver saved people with an AK-47. They saved an entire city!! THE WHOLE DAMNED CITY ONE PERSON AT A…

I don’t hate Iris. I hate the writers who suck at writing her decently.

Unfortunately, for the trendsetters, it can’t be about the results. It’s about the action. You did everything you could do to make the Peace Corp, and the government of Burkina Faso look at your case. It was miserable because it was first.

It will be a little easier for the second, who will make it easier for the…

I mean, you could think that about the PC without judging the author as “letting them off too lightly”. She is doing the work that nobody else managed to do. Let’s only be supportive. She said she has criticisms but she is exploring the silence and shame that women carry in this piece. Its not her job to fight…

The New 52 Batgirl was the reason I started reading comics again. I was crushed with the new direction at issue 35. It wasn't the costume, I was fine with that. It was the Archies style look and the story lines that had her fighting social media DJs and getting drunk and making out with boys at parties etc. Any…

"And if you are reading Gizmodo with an ad blocker on, you are actually missing a bunch of our non-ad content." - I see what you're doing there.

"even the recent Azzarello run, critically praised all over the reviewer internet, had it's detractors saying she wasn't compassionate and far too bloodthristy, and moreover did not sell at the rate a book of that critical praise sold."

I don't like sunny-side up. That's a little much even for me. My favorite is over-medium, but that's nearly impossible to get since most places have no idea what the fuck that means and just do over-easy when you order it.

I was just getting back into DC comics when they pulled the New 52 out, and chased me away. And here I am, getting caught up on Marvel, and this comes along.

I'm really having trouble investing enthusiasm with any of these Secret Wars stories because all evidence is that most to all of them are going to be temporary.

I don't think one has anything to do with the other, unfortunately. My gay friends are super liberal (obviously) but even they seem to have a hard time realizing the 'interrupting' thing. Sexism is an ingrained thing - I now suggest you start noticing as you walk down the street how few men will step aside as you…

This is going to sound bad, I don't mean to bag on Moffat or Gatiss as writers, but we really need some new voices on Doctor Who. We need radical change in the writing.

In short, they want to be, you know, people. Like just regular, normal people.
