People are saying that Steve Bannon looks like those movies where the vampire gets exposed to the light. Or maybe he has really bad skin cancer and he’s the one cancer victim we’re all allowed to skip sympathy for.

To be fair, Marvel really effed up with the whole InHumans thing. Since they can’t get the movie rights to the X-Men back from 20th Century Fox, they decided to sideline them in favor of the InHumans......which are kind of a flop.
Yeah, the series I read from Marvel are all pretty self-contained. Miss Marvel, Wolverine, Squirrel Girl, Hellcat, and Vision. Civil War Redux never made much sense to me.
Honestly, I don’t most people cared all that much. It’s just that the internet is an echo chamber and the loudest voice drowns out everybody else. They do care that marvel event storylines have been less than stellar, I mean holy fuck Marvel why did you think we wanted MORE Civil War, and comic books are fucking…
Miles and Gwen have been far more interesting than old Petey to me at least, think he needs a break for a while. I’ve had a few folks talk about how good Logan was but I don’t know I have it in me to sit through another oppressively dark and gritty super hero flick. I want a Squirrel Girl movie!
The funny thing is that little white boys — like my son — are psyched to see such diversity.
It’s disturbing, and yet not surprising, when kids start in on the learned misogyny so young (not that they should start at all). When I have kids, if I see this happening, I will make a point of approaching parents and teachers who do nothing and call them out on the fact that their kindergarteners are already acting…
“white geekboys are throwing temper tantrums that their preferred media doesn’t reflect them?”
We’ve been watching them on Netflix with the kids (4and 6)... She Ra is a superior cartoon to He Man.
You would assume that, but those assumptions about who is the “core” demographic are also the cause of these problems. I started reading comics in my early teens, and still do - I’m a woman. And there’s lots of women fans. Lots of fans of different races. And when people say that companies are just worried about…
Plus she had a damned Pegasus.
It feels horrible to them. You can’t swing a bottle of Mountain Dew without hitting an oppressed white guy. Plus, this homoerotic love of seeing nothing but “strong” white guys is odd.
Honestly I don’t even think that’s it. They’re just the loudest assholes on the internet, I think more people are just burnt out. My husband is comic book loving geek and we are both pretty much over Marvel movies at this point. I couldn’t give a shit about another Spider-Man movie, The Avengers have been over…
Even though they don’t seem to grasp how far away their pot-bellied, inconsiderate, misogynist selves are from the heroes they want to pretend they are.
RAGE when they say “What? You won’t like anything with a protagonist that doesn’t look like you? That sounds like your problem! Lawl!” Because they always throw the biggest bitch fit when the protagonist is not a gruff white dude.
My sons (3 and 6) like female characters as much as male ones (they adore Wonder Woman and Rey from Star Wars). I’ve already heard random kids making fun of them for playing with “girl toys”. Children have no filter, but it enrages me when their parents overhear and say nothing.
Soooo... basically white geekboys are throwing temper tantrums that their preferred media doesn’t reflect them? Huh. Wonder how THAT feels...
Rumor has it the cheerleaders were also part of a pyramid scheme.
This. Cheney, Karl Rove and Rumsfeld were the masterminds behind a lot of shit during the Bush era. Cheney especially.
Trump will turn on his own daughter to save his own skin before this is all over.
