I didn't mean to imply it does either or. But if we're going to talk about black women in entertainment, I think it should be noted there is a black woman involved in this project. If anything, it opens up another topic of discussion of black people (producers, writers, and actors) being involved in the perpetuation…

Initially, I was intrigued by the idea of the show—and I do think it is worth mentioning one of the executive producers is a black woman, Nichelle Spellman, as is Malcolm Spellman of Empire. Intrigued in that knee-jerk "oh that's kind of an interesting premise to consider….for five seconds."

I really appreciate that Gaiman has an active role in the production of American Gods. I love the book so much and while Fuller and Green are entitled to give it their own interpretive treatment, there are certain aspects of the book and its characters I really want to be fully preserved. That they would assume Shadow…

HAH! I use this gif all the time when people come to me with that "So when are you going to have kids?" question. Which is never preceded with "Do you have a mate with which to create and raise said kids?" I guess at the age of 3X, the implication is wrapped up in one question.

I was whole-heartedly standing with Trevor against the shade he was getting for being civil to Tomi, wanting to find common ground, and not being as harsh with her as some may have been when sitting across from the literal definition of Darth Becky.

I will fight someone that says Sweet Potato Pie is the same as Pumpkin.

It's been ages since I've read it—and I admit, it might warrant a re-read at this point—but I can't ignore my vehement feeling about it. From what I remember I felt like the resolution with Genesis and its significance to the story really fell short, especially considering the major conflict shifted to Jesse and…

I LOVED Preacher until, quite literally, the very last issue. Then I was so disappointed with the ending that I sold all of my trades immediately after reading it. I was so bitter. I am going to watch this show because I loved the series for the most part, and I'm kind of hoping that they'll make the eventual end much…

Well…to amend, I can't say I really care too much about super hero comic books in general, especially the ones from which the movies have come. I want to care about the Black Panther comic because, well, Black Panther. But I just can't. I'm much more into the "graphic novel" genre of comics. Saga, Pretty Deadly,…

I almost stopped reading because I clutched my geeky pearls at #1. The rest of this I can pretty much co-sign, except for 18 (I clutched my recycled from plastic fake pearls.) I had to google what/who a Wale was though.

Yeah. It's hard not to internalize it. I feel like I'm more angrier as a lover of good storytelling than a black person. He's just sooo awful. But not as bad as Sandler.

Mmmm. I half way agree with this and think it's more complicated. Racism as an institution is to blame, because by omitting black people from spaces like mainstream movies and television, we had to create our own spaces and make sure we were represented in our own stories.

As a black woman, I really hate Marlon Wayans for his perpetuating of horrible black stereotypes. And I'm hoping that more and more black people will tire of them too and demand more thoughtfully written explorations of black stories (because even parodies can be more thoughtful than this). Movies like Fifty Shades of…

Tj and Amal was one of my favorite web comics. I've been following it since it began and I am so glad to own it in print. It's a great, realistic, and honest journey story with so much charm. EK puts incredible and awesome detailing not only in her panels, but in the story itself. I see or realize something new every…

I have very little (meaning no) knowledge of or interest in Archie, but I cannot foam enough about how much I adore Saga. It's not even the type of story I'd usually gravitate toward (more of a straight up Fantasy rather than Fantasy-Sci Fi )fan, but the comic is one of my absolute favorites. Just brilliant writing…

I am super late boarding the Avatar train and just watched Beginnings last night. Loved this episode for all of its beautiful animation, lore, and the homages to Ghibli, specifically Spirited Away.

The ignorance of this comment and the conversation is staggeringly
awful. I pardon you for not being knowledgeable enough about genetics
that you're unaware of the fact that yes, dark skinned parent + dark
skinned parent can equal a light skin child. And that it's not a crazy,
rare anomaly that happens once in a blue…

*insert gif of Don Draper gross-sobbing*

Also, Liam's handling of Spartacus has just gotten better and better. It's wonderful to see the community so supportive of him instead of (still) harping on the fact he's not Andy.

This episode was filled with so much brilliance, I need to rewatch again just to digest it all.
