I’m down for anything that gets Peggy Carter back in the MCU.

But even a favorable portrayal of Lee’s inner landscape plays into the fan-fiction-with-real-people issues surrounding OUATIH in a way that only magnifies the potential for tastelessness. It’s one thing to swap Rick Dalton in for other actors on old Paul Wendkos pictures; something else to put words into Lee’s mouth…

Personally, I’m comfortable with the fact that I *don’t* have some arbitrary “wealth threshold” at which point it becomes okay for shitty, involuntary celibate neckbeards like Barsanti to slander and harass women online.

I’m not going to say anything new here. I’ve been avoiding the comments section in general thanks to some personal attacks, and I’ve just been dipping my toe back now that I’m in a better space mentally.

Never before have I seen a comment section so thoroughly and almost unanimously reject what is being served to them.

I don’t think the expression is problematic. Sure, it was originally used in a work that many have called anti-Semitic, but today I don’t think it’s generally used in anti-Semitic contexts.

He’s got the editorial talent of a goat.

ugh, finally

AV Club turned into a tabloid rag so gradually, I hardly noticed.

Congrats, this post is dumber than the article...which says a lot!

Why do you feel the need to defend AVClub so hard? Did someone bump into it?

I guess it's time to cancel Sam Barsanti.

“Yes, because that doesn’t happen at countless other events (e.g. proms, homecomings, parades, quinceañeras) for teen girls and women of every fucking ethnic group.”

Were there roving bands of self-important dopes deliberately bumping into the women for the express purpose of prompting the irritated response? Because if not, it pretty much ruins the comparison.

Czechoslovakia? The same Czechoslovakia that was annexed by the Nazis in WWII?

What exactly has Sam been doing for the last week that’s more important than this story, and the vital fight against teens participating in Southern balls that don’t seem to have been racist when she attended them, but were definitely racist before she was born? Weekend box office? Reporting on “alternate universe…

I’m going to dissect this bullshit one bit at a time:

It’s a good apology. Mine would probably sound like:

Zhao approached Marvel with the desire to direct an MCU movie because she herself is a fan, and this was well before she was an Oscar winner.

I just fucking hate seeing talent people waste their time and energies on these projects.
