Ignoring the science, being anti-mutant doesn't make much sense in a social context either. They keep saying "They're going to replace us!" Yeah, after all of the current humans die of natural causes, in the same way that all children "replace us" even normal ones.

In Mark Millar's The Ultimates, Wasp is really a mutant but she pretends she was modified by some Hank Pym experiment, and he uses this knowledge against her to keep her from leaving him.

Nah, you're thinking of Dark Reign: Fantastic Four which was obviously after Civil War. When Reed builds The Bridge to look at different realities to see how he could have prevented the Civil War. Spoiler: He couldn't and The Thing became an Elizabethan dandy.

Hopefully we get a Thunderbolts film at some point.

Civil War was written during the Bush years. At the time, it was very painfully obvious that it was about the Patriot Act. There was no subtlety about it whatsoever. Iron Man was a Bush Republican. Captain America was an anti-Bush liberal, or possibly a libertarian if you really wanted to see it that way.

CrossGen was a pretty neat little imprint but I'm disproportionately fond of it because I'm the world's only Tony Bedard fan and that's where he came out of. Their best remembered title is probably Bedard's Mystic. Later Marvel bought CrossGen and tried to relaunch the whole universe. The Marvel relaunch of Mystic was…

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection of F. It would have been really dull (no plot, all fighting) if I had watched it by myself at home. In the theatre though, it was great. I've never seen Rocky Horror in a theatre but I imagine it's a similar vibe.

So glad Jon Hamm is becoming a regular in British comedies. Apparently he is a big fan. He was also on an episode of Toast of London.

"It's not racism when it happens to White people because White people deserve bad treatment!"

Playing a character who is White in the comics.

I seriously doubt people wouldn't find issue with a minority character who isn't in any way influenced by being a minority. In fact, I'm sure they would because that whole concept reeks of the type of "color blind" anti-racism that is extremely out of vogue right now. "You're denying Black people are oppressed by…

You're literally saying "they should have changed Danny Rand's race" in a post where you are complaining about them changing another character's race

Swinton's defense is basically the same defense Marvel used for making Heimdall not White.

How do you feel about Johnny Storm and Heimdall being made Black?

I read Wonder Woman: Earth One. It was…fine? I guess the best thing I can say for it is that the origin story of Wonder Woman isn't quite as overused as the origin story of Batman or Superman. It's still not really that interesting of an origin story though. I think the main problem, besides being an origin story, is…

A good person to follow on Miitomo is Harold Weinstein, he's a friend of dril:

Best book about music: Clothes Clothes Clothes Music Music Music Boys Boys Boys by Viv Albertine, guitarist and principal song writer for The Slits. The first half is a good as any account of the early 77 punk scene, the second half is an account of her depressing domestic life after she retired from music and…

So basically everyone agrees this movie is terrible. The main issue people argue about is who is responsible, Trank or the studio. Most people blame Trank because he was more publicly an asshole. I think both are responsible though. Clearly Trank had a vision, a grimdark, non-superhero vision, a vision that might not…

"Whoa, dude, check out my APR. It's fucking lit!"

I'm a Sanders supporter who probably won't vote for Clinton. How exactly is gf120581 misrepresenting what Sarandon said though?
