She has zero personality because she’s brainwashed. I’m hoping that if/when they bring her back, she’ll have a personality and it’ll be closer to the comics.

After Batroc ze Leapair died a stupid and uncharacteristic death in Falcon & the Winter Soldier I thought the MCU just really hated having jobber-type antagonists.

Fuck yeah.

Darla doesn’t say it, Angel does and Angel is trying to convince Darla to get back together with him after he gets his soul. He says, “We can have the whirlwind back,” i.e. “we can have our whirlwind romance back.” It was never a reference the four of them.

In the Buffyverse, literally anyone can do magic. Whether they survive or not is the question.

Witches in the Buffyverse are like Jedis. Sure, you need training, but you also need inherent skill.

No, they were not. I’ve been a part of the Buffy fandom for close to twenty years, too, and I’ve never heard them called “the Whirlwind.”

I’ve been a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for close to twenty years and I’ve never, ever heard them referred to as “the Whirlwind.”

You are complaining about a problem that doesn’t exist.

In all the interviews I’ve read with the actors/directors/writers, literally nobody has tried to “force” them to accept it as canon. They are asked if it was deliberate, but that’s it.

Exactly. To some people, they can be friendships. To other people, they can be romances.

But for Falcon and Winter Soldier, I don’t see what coding is happening.

People don’t get to change whatever facet of pop culture they like to suit their preferences

Gay shipping does not equal toxic masculinity. In fact, toxic masculinity is pretty much the opposite of, well, any LGBTQ thing. Toxic masculinity means you don’t want anyone to even think you are gay in any way.

6/19/21

Exactly. There are people at io9 seriously trying to defend that statement as if it makes sense and is not a bunch of nonsense wrapped up in homophobia.

6/19/21

I just don’t get why Mackie should be upset about this.

6/19/21

It’s absurd that every male friendship gets distorted into a potential gay relationship

6/19/21

Also, we have no idea where the whole “You can’t meet a male friend at a bar anymore!” angle comes from

It’s also like this world is fictional, mandated by a studio to make sure nobody watches anything without watching EVERYTHING.

Yes, they are. Have you seen any of the shows? WandaVision is completely different from Falcon and the Winter Soldier which is completely different from Loki.
