Name 10 black superhero shows in the last decade in which they were the main character that lasted more than 1 season.

...Luke Cage sketches out a sense of an entire community, one that’s a symbol of how black people have thrived in a centuries-old cycle that’s had them exoticized and disenfranchised. Once he starts shaking things up uptown, all eyes are on Luke Cage. That’s okay because, if the second half of the season is as strong…

I second this - Evan’s writing is always sharp and on-point, and his perspectives on race/identity really help expand my appreciation of media - as a cis straight white male, I know that I filter a lot of content through my own lens. I need articles like this.

Evan, your writing continues to be the best thing going at i09, and each article is better than the last. Keep up the good work.

You’re probably wasting your time here. Ogre has been an apologist for this sort of thing for years. Heck, the first time I met him he had the gall to tell me I hadn’t really received rape threats and other misogynistic slurs in online games. He's a real gem.

I’m sorry everyone seems to be missing your very reasonable point, Jason. I think the key to understanding the issue lies within this statement:

They make a big deal out of it because it is a big reason that this medium is still a joke in the larger artistic community. I love video games. They have the ability to tell better stories than movies or tv shows because of their capacity for interaction. But it’s characterizations of women like this that keep the…

Oh come now. Anno was hardly representative of the average anime employee, he was/is a once-in-a-generation auteur. There are plenty of people living this lifestyle today; the difference is that many of them are Korean, since animation work is outsourced there regularly.

You couldn’t pick one female author for this list?

Dude... no.

Go home, hug her, find your smile, and all is right in heaven.

Seriously, as someone who has been through therapy for combat-related PTSD, I wanted to immediately send this episode to my therapist and tell him “This is what you need to show future patients”. I would not expect a show on Cartoon Network to explore such a deep, complicated subject, let alone do it so well.

James.

Jesus, that’s probibly the most brilliant take on the Goldfish nympho I’ve heard. Honestly, that’s brilliant. Someone who stared into the void would have a nichean attitude towards sex, it’s as meaningless of an act as waiting for a bus.

Seriously, that’s just outstanding.

Ah! That would have been funny as hell. But I think Lobdell is too immature to ever pull that kind of thing off.

Seems to me his mom is familiar with mmos, just not Overwatch or it’s genre, which is fair.

Yup. Directed by Tarsem Singh who consistently makes amazing visual feasts. But this movie in particular really fit perfectly with my own tastes for how the visuals of "horror" storytelling should be. There was, years later, a zero-budget, awful sequel (in the lamest sense) that had nothing to do with it and seemed to…

I don’t ... I don’t think the evil ghost TV girl obeys the laws of physics.

I wonder if there would be a limit to how many screens she could pop out of at once. If the video was posted on YouTube she’d possibly have to visit millions of people a day.
