I hope not. I hated her original costume and thought the new one was a huge improvement (though the hip cutouts are kind of strange). I also would not enjoy a return to her original YA rape backstory.

She’s not a minor anymore, according to Young Avengers, but aside from that - “divorce” is commonly used in metaphorical way to describe the breakup of close friends, business partners, etc.

If it’s a tie-in to Rogue One, the demand will be ALL THE DEMAND. It’s not like Star Wars is a niche movie series. ;) I think your original instinct was right about it being related to Rogue One.

They get the actors they can get, like Nicholas Cage.

I was just trying to remember what movie I’d seen this summer that had a painfully unsubtle “China please give us money” part of the film, and that’s totally what it was.

Nobody owes anyone anything, but if you want to be sell a product to a certain market, you need to do what it takes to appeal to that market. That’s basic business.

Man, they most likely went with the casting they did largely to avoid having the character be Tibetan.

You really, seriously, think blackface isn’t racist? Honestly? In that case, this conversation is, frankly, not worth my time.

Glad to see Jenn back with a new series, and I’m intrigued at the writer choice - someone from outside the usual superhero comics writers can bring an interesting perspective and fresh ideas (see: Ta-Nahisi Coates on Black Panther or Chelsea Cain on Mockingbird). But the description of this series sounds like a real…

I seem to recall Jenn having a poster or magazine cover of Bruce on her office wall labelled “He-Hulk”.

Yeah, I was wondering that too... I can imagine him thinking of himself that way, because he’s what, like 16 or something? But I can’t believe that anyone else who’s an adult would actually call him that. I haven’t been reading that series, though.

I’d recommend looking up the history of blackface.

In this context, it’s (quite clearly) the history of the United States. Disney is an American company. And yes, all Americans share in America’s 400-year history of race relations, whether your ancestors settled in Jamestown or your parents moved here 20 years ago.

I’m optimistically guessing that what you mean by “intent” is ignorance of the cultural meaning of blackface. In cases (like a kid dressing up) where a person just doesn’t *know* that blackface is racist, we can’t assign blame to them for having done something racist, because they didn’t know better. But the blackface…

Have you gotten the Nuka-world dlc yet?

The rest of the game is pretty well subtitled, with only the occasional NPC background comment missing. I don’t remember the intro not being subtitled, but that would definitely be a problem for deaf players.

Did she paint her face white and make fun of white people?

Nope, intent is a mitigating factor, but it’s absolutely not in any way the only thing that matters in this or any other area of life. If you’re telling your kids that, you’re setting them up for failure.

Just a note: when you seriously use the term “sjw”, it’s an immediate giveaway that you’re just trolling. You might want to ditch the term if you want to keep people going for longer, lol.
