All I know is I will NOT be voting for Bill Clinton this November.

A lot of people on Jezebel love to criticize me for not being an avid Hillary supporter. I will vote for her because she isn't Trump, that doesn't mean she was my first choice. But the reason I don't trust her is that she always seemed willing to let other women's lives be destroyed by her husband so she could advance…

You can get hyper analytical, but it seems pretty clear that Bill has mistreated women for a long time and Hillary has done her best to be part of the machine that keeps him clean enough (and in the process rolling over those women) that they can accomplish their political goals in spite of his behavior.

It’s the job of localizers to understand the context of their translations. Yes, Watergate kicked off the “gate” phenomenon, but GamerGate is fresh in people’s minds. Though the placement of the screenshots on social media proved more provocative than what’s actually in Paper Mario, if you’re familiar with gaming’s…

Ugh for fucks sake, what a fucking non-controversy.

Writers like Morales, Priest, Hudlin (and even Bendis) have done a pretty good showing that black heroes have relationships with each other outside the confines of what we see on the page.

James Rhodes has been on teams and had friendships with EVERY one of the black supers. They are FRIENDS, a the least. He has also had a wide range of influence and acquaintances as an Avenger, and like Luke Cage has been a beacon of colored people in the MARVEL Universe.

This is perfectly appropriate public service for War Machine. Doesn’t mean in was the “funeral”. This was the public service, in his home-town, with a smarting of celebs and friends (real or not) to honor him. A public chance to grieve.

Given that it was a black man with celebrity on par to Muhammad Ali it seem…

No, it’s about the common legacy the skin color represents that binds most of them together. This is why during times of segregation blacks would open the houses to touring black musicians, total strangers to be sure, who were turned away from white hotels. This is why the term “brother” and “sister” was a badge of…

Are supes incapable of dressing for a funeral? Or is it like a military thing?

I just read the issue an hour or so ago. Sam asks the exact same question, and is told Tony’s too emotionally fucked up right now to give any kind of speech. The way he’s behaving in other books, that seems about right.

I know they’re all there to mourn the death of Rhodey...

Every time I develop some interest in Big 2 comics, I read about a character being killed off like Rhodey and think, “Again?”

If his death has no meaning, then this all was for naught. Marvel, this better be something meaningful to the Marvel Universe. Killing him for a plot device, would just piss me off. No matter how well you treated his funeral.

I’m not gonna lie. I read it on the bus this morning, and I got choked up. It was almost like this book was saying for me a bunch of the things I wanted to say. It was a sure sign that at least least someone at Marvel knew how We would feel, and wrote this as a kind of a knowing hug. “Yes, he was one of us. Yes, we…
