Her death is a huge factor in his decisions, and it’s definitely going to be explored further as either part of his show or future Jones seasons. She knew about Kilgrave’s data and Cage was somehow involved in that as well. Like I said, I think they left a lot of that out because his show will give a chance to delve…

My Mongolian friend grew up with a pet hunting eagle. He’s the nicest guy in the world but looks like he’ll cut you.

What was gross about the relationship? It was supposed to be dysfunctional and ultimately fail. Relationships don’t have to be stellar or end happily ever after to be important. Similarly, I don’t know that I’d call it a fridging when the specter of marginalization, pointless violence, abuse, and the sexual assault of…

Fun fact: This is why some of the groups I support provide service dogs to airlines and airports, and why we’re pushing for better certification and coverage for service dogs. They are amazing help for autistic kids.

It’s the ol’ “I’d rather have the BEST person for the job, not just hire them because they’re ____ filling a quota” argument. Like I get it. It’s about interchangeable bodies, but come on, that’s ridiculous, especially when the movies and manga themselves were so groundbreaking. (Spoiler: The Major may or may not have…

I certainly respect your right to disagree. I hope you do pursue educating yourself further on the subject, even if you do. If nothing else, it’s worth it to better understand a large and varied portion of people.

Have you read Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Black Panther series? I’m so hoping they use his work and adapt it for the movie. They’d be insane not to. It’s such a good modern interpretation of the source material.

Are you forgetting Claire (Rosario Dawson) and Luke Cage? Both were the sanest people in those shows, and Luke Cage is going to be awesome in his own series. That’s actually a different studio though. For Marvel, there’s Agents of SHIELD, which has Mae and Mac among other supporting characters, a couple of whom are…

It’s really, really not the same. The PRC is all about pushing the “model Chinese citizen” narrative, to the point that racism and low key ethnic cleansing are still the order of the day. Look at what they did to the Dalai Lama’s successor. It’s really brutal. I’m sure much of this decision also had to do with China…

They did. They also updated some characters to be way less borderline racist than they were in the source material, and I’ll be honest, this is one of them. Remember, you’re dealing with stuff from the 60s and 70s. Especially with the more “fanciful” titles, you get origins and characters who are, let’s say, in…

No, it’s not just that. China has a nasty history of wiping out minority groups that aren’t “model Chinese” citizens, and there’s a ton of deep-rooted racial tension involved in this. There’s a lot of low key ethnic cleansing that still goes on to this day. Check out jazz culture in Taiwan and the Taiwanese language…

I’m so glad someone posted this. This is way more complex than just whitewashing a character. Going through my Masters program, I had a really good friend who was Mongolian and of Tibetan descent. I watched Chinese students, even people who were also my friends and normally wonderful human beings, act like racist…

Do you stop dating guys because they might be hit by a bus tomorrow? Are people with terminal illnesses not allowed to fall in love?

Okay, but he’s 40 now. Either we’re assuming that he’s done no maturing or developing over those 15 years so he should still be treated and looked upon as an immature adult, or we’re assuming this is an incredibly successful case of predatory grooming. I get what you’re saying, and if he’d been 16 or 18 when they…

The top comment a few threads up is about how the poster can’t imagine having sex with an old rich guy (just for the wealth). I guess I just don’t believe we can judge something as unhealthy just by looking at a photograph or reading an article, just like you can’t say someone is depressed by looking a picture of them…

People I know hated it so much, and I freaking loved it. Seeing Spidey-Ock bitchslap the sass out of Namor won me over.

Pretty sure people are still calling the guy a gold digger. Just check a couple threads up. They’ve been together 15 years and started dating while he was in his mid 20s. At what point do they pass the sincerity test?

I’d urge you to look outside your personal, anecdotal experience. Look at the ways feminism is positively impacting both men AND women. And yes, you will meet a lot of angry, passionate people, many of whom have been hurt in the past and have chosen to become activists, but that doesn’t take away from the message. If…
