When will it come to the Linda Codega t-shirt shop tho

Just an FYI for anyone that hasn’t seen the tweets:

Reminder that Bobby Kotick makes money off this game.

6'6" with giant ears and androgynous features is canon. Cate Blanchett in a long dress with forced perspective against Hobbits is a pretty good facsimile, but not using that forced perspective to have Liv Tyler tower over Aragorn in every scene is a disappointment.

Someone on Twitter (@Pierre_Chanliau) posted a statistic that I’ll replicate here: “Ms. Marvel has only appeared on 14 out of 646 pages and 37 out of 3204 comic panels of Zeb Wells’ run: The Amazing Spider-Man #1-25, Dark Web #1, and Dark Web Finale #1. Only 2.17% of the pages and 1.15% of the panels have Kamala Khan…

There are two colourists credited for the issue. It’s probably just that they each did one of those pages independently, although the editor should’ve caught it.

Then theres the magically changing clothes colours.

There needs to be a proper exploration of Muslim funeral /homegoing rituals and this is going to have to be balanced with her character’s eventual resurrection.

Inhumans show so bad its reversing the “Mutants were inhumans all along” angle and is bringing new folks with it.

Yeah, I’m guessing she’ll be at the Hellfire Gala.

Not too late for you to get some t-shirts made.

If someone tells me they know what real elves are supposed to look like, I’m backing away. Slowly.

lmao sadly “Canon is a fool’s stricture” is a 100% Linda Codega original phrase, and sadly I’ve wasted it in the dek of an io9 blog.

Magic fans have known this for about a year. The fact that all the racists are coming out of the woodwork now, when the mainstream announcement is made, tells you a lot about who is really getting angry at this: people who are threathened by pictures in a card game they don’t play. In other words immature, insecure…

“Canon is a fool’s stricture” Is this yours or an older quote? I ask because it sums up how I feel about a lot of the stupid complaints (not just racist ones) about entertainment properties I’ve seen, so I’m going to steal it.

I guess I’m happy they remembered that she can shapeshift? But yeah bleh. Also that art is terrible!? I know JRJR has some weaknesses in his art style, but generally it does look good. But damn, you shouldn’t mess up the death of a character that bad!?

I very much hope they don’t bring her back more in line with the…

Nah. She expects it to, but there’s something else going on (probably related to reinventing her as a mutant):

There are comic stories worth having emotional reactions to. I’m not sure this is one.

Because this is a poorly constructed and executed use of (temporary) death as a plot point, even by the incredibly low standards of superhero comics.

The one here with the captcha goes a bit into his process. (spots a rental bike company name, finds list of bike stations, sees gate and bush filter list to assume near park, etc). But a lot of it is just memorization of each country’s road signage, climates, etc.
