Alex and Sara in their dresses beating up Prometheus at the church was utterly spectacular.
The women of the DC and Marvel universes have gotten short shrift on the big screen. Yes, Wonder Woman was better…
The future might seem bleak, but at least it holds lots of projects by director Ava DuVernay. That body of work will…
See, I always thought that was weird because calling someone Latin is no different than calling someone Hispanic. Latin is just as a European term as Hispanic is. Also, the combining of the Hispanic groups into this one “Latin” blob is insulting. Especially since so many of us don’t get along with each other. Puerto…
I agree with you wholeheartedly Alex.
I do have one concern. Latino/Latina media is generally white media anyway isn’t it?
Afro-Latinos are generally not represented physically or socially in Latino media. The media reflects the same racial hierachy that extists in ALL Latin American Societies. Look at this:
Biggest problems with Marvel movies: 1) What this article is talking about. 2) The cinematography is utterly boring, with Guardians of the Galaxy being the exception, mostly. Everything happens in broad daylight, with flat, grey lighting. Hell, Daredevil, A TV SHOW, puts all of the MCU films to shame in the visuals…
Quick: Hum the theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Now hum the theme from Tim Burton’s Batman. Cool, now hum the…
As a father, Jonathan Kent’s advice sucked and he was a selfish, paranoid, cynical, fear-mongering moron that told his son to hide his gifts and talents, to fear the reprisal of other men, and to even consider letting children die so that his secret would be safe.

That’s still rub though. The authors of Red Son, of Injustice, of Kingdom Come, of any story where Superman is “off” and try and tell you “this is the correct version of Superman. This is how he SHOULD be. This is right.” The reason those stories work so well is readers inherently know it ISN’T right. It’s about…
But even those issues you mentioned explore the notion of “what would happen if we deliberately alter or explore this facet of the character”, with a very clear understanding of what makes Superman “tick” and then deliberately undermining or supporting it.
Boys read comic books. Girls play with dolls. Or at least that’s how it used to be in ancient times. Mattel’s new DC…
Bet you some of them are just really amazing Aunts.
The phenomenally talented, groundbreaking science fiction author Octavia Butler died in 2006. Her papers went to the…
It’s almost as if race is just a modern social construct and that international trade has been around for forever.
The moment that I knew graphic novel American Born Chinese was something special, and real, was in its second…
...Are you think of Peter David?
Part of me wants to think its Banner and that this version of the suit helps him contain the Hulk.
