*blinks* I don’t understand what one has to do with the other, but I’mma let it rock.

Including Nicki.

I hate that I laughed at this. I really do.

Or she has “Resting Bitch Face”. That’s an option, too.

She’s not horrible. Just embarrassing in a very harmless way. There are worse things in life, tbh. You could have Iggy Azalea’s hair.

Claire Temple counts since Rosario Dawson is Afro-Latina, but other than that? I’m drawing a blank.

Luke and Jessica’s relationship is gross because it’s based around her guilt and seeming obsession surrounding Reva Connors’s life (and death, obviously). Luke, being Reva’s husband, is part of that. Her death is nothing more than the catalyst for Jessica’s escape for Kilgrave. It’s is important to her emotional arc.…

You’re absolutely right. I’d hate for those green children of the world, hell the whole GALAXY, to not have representation. How rude of me.

I love Claire, actually. She was supposed to be the Night Nurse but Feige had to be a dick about it. I love Luke but his relationship with Jessica was fucking gross in the series. Hell, they fridged his wife not even for his manpain but for HER character development. Like...ew.

Touché lol. I’m just so tired of Wolverine and the bromance between Charles and Erik.

Exactly. This is why the push to make characters like Stephen Strange and Danny Rand Asian makes sense to me. It would have literally reduced the ickiness of the narratives but nooooo. CANON! the white men scream into the void.

Marvel MCU (and ABC’s shows) may be under a different studio than the Netflix series but Marvel, if I’m not mistaken, has influence over both. MCU, unlike the DC Universe, is also interconnected, so THEY see it as one universe. They don’t get credit for crumbs of diversity. I’m both equally excited about Luke Cage and…

Nah, it’s terribly white. And Marvel has a real problem with a) women of color in any respect (and no, Gamora doesn’t count) and b) Yellow Peril tropes. Daredevil is full of them, both seasons. Jessica Jones, while great, really was terrible to all the people of color on that show. Marvel needs to do better. I’m not…

So. They’re excuse for whitewashing is that it’s better than casting an Asian actor (not Chinese or Tibetan) because...they didn’t want to look racist? Am I understanding this right? Okay.....

It is. One of the first songs I heard by Tricky was actually Overcome (which is nothing but Karmacoma by Massive Attack with a better beat). It prompted me to check out the whole album. I dig it.

Yep! I’m young but some of the older folks I know talk about how Tricky was not too pleased with Portishead b/c of this. Like, there was a low-key feud between them.

THE. LAYERS.

Exactly. It’s like how people thought Alesia Cara sampled Portishead, when she just sampled the same Isaac Hayes song that they did. Good sampling is truly an art, which is why I enjoy old school Timbaland productions so much. He was really a genius at it.

To be specific, she sampled Isaac Hayes’s rendition of Burt Bacharach’s “Walk on By”. She used the same sample that Hooverphonic used for “2 Wicky” some almost 20 years ago. THE LAYERS.

Different hot sauces are meant for different things, man. I get it.
