We already got the perfectly cast She-Hulk.

“How many people named John do you know? Yeah well, Lylla is a common name in a certain part of the Galaxy.”

Boom, problem solved.

I mean, how many guys named Chris star in these movies after all?

Just ignore that detail, or include more than one character with that name in the background, and if it gets a bunch of…

I for one welcome our new plant-monster overlords.

Since practically anyone can find anything offensive these days, shouldn’t they just revoke the concept of personalized plates altogether?

“I find the concept of personalized plates offensive because it only helps uplift and separate the haves and have-nots since not everyone can afford to personalize their plate! Its…

That’s where everyone is going to take it.

30 seconds on a Wikipedia entry will tell you that he’s been a “good guy” for quite some time (8 years running now)? It’d be nice if the people reviewing a comic had some inkling on what has been going on in it even a little bit, or would spend a couple of minutes googling it...

I got you fam

Considering that this “controversy” is largely a bunch of white people trying to show how “in touch” and “tolerant” and good of an “ally” they are all the while just using it as an excuse to pat themselves on the back, and that a good many Asians find it offensive that because the character is a mystical martial…

I like to think of myself as a liberal as well, and during the beginning of the term being a thing, I considered myself a “SJW”. Its hard to lump yourself in such a category now when you see people taking indefensible positions just because its become the trendy thing to do. It saturates so much of the posts here,…

Yes. Yes it does.

Unfortunately that’s what a lot of people who can’t engage in an intellectual debate resort to. If you disagree with their opinion, then you’re a racist, a sexist, or both, and when they can’t counter your point, it turns into plugging their eyes, “lalalala I can’t hear you over your straight, white male privilege”…

I was probably about 15 or 16 at the time, but I had gotten REALLY good at the Darth Maul makeup, and just for fun, I’d paint my face, throw on my hooded cloak, grab my toy double-bladed lightsaber, and go out like that. I did it probably half a dozen times... a trip to the Circle K (I realize in retrospect that…

The flood of replies you received pretty much made my point for me.

I’ll add that there is MORE of a point to the Ghost in the Shell controversy, but I don’t necessarily agree because of the specifics of that source material, specifically about being a cyborg/robot from the future and so on, so forth, etc.

The Last…

Because “the white savior trope”. Essentially, they continue to claim that “white guy goes to a foreign country, appropriates the culture, and becomes the best at whatever it is the indigenous culture is known for” is inherently racist and that Iron Fist is an example of that.

They fail to realize that Danny Rand…

Speaking as someone with more than one Asian friend who all routinely insist its racist to cast the character as an Asian because of “mysticism and martial arts” and are actually offended at that assertion, you are hardly representative of the entire culture. Insisting they should have cast an Asian in the role…

Hey, io9...

Especially in Season 1 of Daredevil, they specifically mentioned (on more than one occasion) the freaks with a hammer and a shield, etc. They never call them by name, but there are specific references to specific Avengers.

Invisible CAPTCHA’s are the latest development in the “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.”

Dolph Lundgren, Ron Perlman, (until the other day, Anson Mount), Jon Hamm... all much better choices than Lang.
