You know what? I really couldn’t put my finger on why I wanted to like Jessica Jones, but felt weird about it. I think you nailed it. It is kind of everything wrong with white feminism. Every POC on that show was used as a springboard to elevate her issues/powers/arc, and were all just kind of left to twist in the…

nope! I think nearly all movies have a race problem but Marvel does a decent effort having POC in every single film in prominent and important roles. If you follow the comment thread, I initiated, she replied and I never told her she was incorrect and happily stood corrected.

You are seriously the coolest person. You know everything! I stand corrected and bow to your knowledge, also it’s literally insane that I forgot Nick Fury.

I also want to throw in there that it is likely a shoe-in for Captain Marvel’s Carol Danvers to be played by a black woman. Also ta nehisi coates writes the Black Panther comic books right now. Can’t say they aren’t trying.

I feel it, I feel it. Luke Cage in general started as a super racist blaxploitation character, but I hope they do him right.

I was only counting the cinematic universe but YEAH, Luke Cage! Daredevil had Ben Urich in season one who was such a great character. Love Black Panther and everything about him.

Dr. Strange aside, gotta give Marvel a little credit for not being terribly white. We have Falcon, Black Panther, War Machine, Gamora (ok she is green, but underneath she is an afro-latina!) annnnnd, ok I guess that isn’t that much. But it’s progress?

there are so many times where my husband jokes that he wonders if other people think we are fighting because I am so expressive and intense lol

THANK YOU

Who gives a fuck what this spoiled little rich bitch says.

I wore a pale pink wedding dress with silver seed beads. Do your thing girl.

That isn’t entirely correct. Sacramento is blue, with its suburbs leaning red. Humbolt, Lake, Imperial, Contra Costa, Marin, Mendocino, Merced, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, Sonoma, Solano, yolo, san mateo-that is just a sample of our blue counties. This is a firmly blue state with a vocal red minority and a helping…

Galt! Yes. Sounds perfect for her.

As a fellow Sacramentan, I have encountered these people, and they live in Arden, Rio Linda or Elk Grove. Ugh.

I know, and I got ripped for it too. Fair enough! I stand by it.

oh! yes! That must be it.

I will pick it up! I was sad that my husband and I stared emotionless for 30 minutes without laughing, but I’ll throw it on again!

I really want to like and watch this show. I watched the first episode of season one, didn’t laugh once, and just never watched it again. Does it get better?

Maybe if MRAs banded together to create a coalition to fight for male stalking victims instead of crowing about how the wage gap is a myth and rape should be legalized then you might have yourself a platform worth supporting.

I like Crystal on eggs!
