The amount of spirit gum it would take to keep Dagger’s costume in place boggles the mind.

based on the ease with which they entered what would have been segregated facilities.

Beale Street was rather progressive when it came to the two races mixing. Most of the establishments were black-owned, but there was a significant amount of white patrons in the music venues.

the fact that nobody seemed to notice the diverse group of men and women in their Sunday best show up for service together was all kinds of implausible.

Puffins are also fish (yeah, I know... the rules get weird).

“Cultural Appropriation” is a new buzz-word for a tiny faction of far-left American children and ivory-tower pseudo-intellectuals who have no clue about the actual spread of culture and how cross-cultural interaction actually works—but want something to be offended by.

at one point Catholics were claiming that beavers weren’t meat

I wouldn’t either if that was what was stated in the film

I had one minor issue with M’Baku’s throne room: Those branches hung in the throne room looked to be birch. Are there birch trees in Africa? If so, are they common in the area of Wakanda?

Thank you.

There are variations on “vegetarian”. It’s a blanket term that covers a very wide range of dietary habits and/or restrictions. I spent a few decades working in F&B, and “I’m a vegetarian” is one of the most annoying statements to hear. Are you vegan, ovo-lactal, pescatarian, avoiding meat because your doctor told you…

Like the west “appropriating” al-jabr? Or every private school “appropriating” tartan? Or the world “appropriating” Indian (but called “Arabic”) numerals? Or China and Korea “appropriating” hip-hop? Or (my personal favorite), most of the world “appropriating” the distinctive neck-scarf of my ancestors? It’s now known…

the story uses the sci-fi setting to focus on an unusual human or humanoid culture and the ramifications of said culture’s existence.

That specific moment in the scene, might be (or it’s more likely just a standard pose), but the entire bit about the machine guns is (very bad) direct call to an excellent scene in the Simonson Ragnarok storyline.

You might want to take a loo at Punisher. There’s an amazing lack of killing in it (all things considered). And it’s quite relevant to the current US situation in how it shows the issues with PTSD and the conflict between “go over there and kill all the bad guys” and “we’re too violent over here”.

The whole mini-arc about Skurge (the “bad guy”) standing up as the last defense against the invasion of his home is wonderfully powerful and poignant. Those last couple pages just nail it.

That’s not a Doom reference. It’s a reference to the Battle of Gjallerbru from the Walt Simonson run on Thor.

You mean knowledge. I’ve responded with knowledge to your idiotic statements and three lies.

You have 21 years of marketing experience and can’t see *any* possibility of ROI on a PR campaign that leverages the top-grossing Marvel movie, a vast new market, and and the PR of supporting a grass-roots academic campaign?
