I am quietly excited.

Fair enough. Like I said though, I doubt that in a movie, she'd end up being anything other than a enormous flirt. I don't think Marvel's ready to do a superhero-themed version of "Shame" yet (although they've already got Michael Fassbender, so that's half the casting right there).

She's among the most compassionate, kind, honest characters in the entire Marvel Universe, she's almost Kitty Pryde-level unimpeachable on the Moral Character-scale. Her having sex has nothing to do with her character, assuming again, that they don't treat it as "Hurf Durf She-Hulk Loves Wangs To The Exclusion Of All…

See, if they made that movie i'd hope they kept that to an extent. As they said in the comics, how come her doing it is some horrendous, shameful thing, but Tony Stark's status as a notorious horndog is A-OK? She-Hulk has sex. I'm fine with that, and I don't think that diminishes her (that is, assuming she's portrayed…

I think Dan Slott could do a bang-up job too. Or maybe they could both work on it, whichever.

Well, this is heartening at least...

Ugh, Ignatius J. Reilly. Score one for my memory being crap.

I'm totally down with having a unlikable main character (C. Ignatius Reilly will always be my favorite), and I hope the show gets a chance, grows, and gets some experience. From what i've read from critics, the next two episodes really, really establish a foundation for it, and it's very funny. I hope so.

A lot of the people rushing to the show's defense on that front are acting like Girls is the first and only show to be subjected to this kind of racial criticism. Uh, no, this has been a complaint for years and years, it just so happens that this critically lauded darling which represents so much progressiveness is…

Huh? What? We think non-white girls are never bratty? Really? Are you seriously claiming REVERSE RACISM here? #justsayin

If you can imagine her part being played by any PoC without facing an absolutely withering "Welfare Queen"-inspired backlash (assuming she even got the job to begin with), your view of the world and the culture here is far, far, FAR more idealistic than mine.

Y'know what I'd love to see? A She-Hulk movie. With the right people behind it, it could be a really funny, hilarious romp. Peter David said she has the potential to be Marvel's own Wonder Woman, which I think is right.

Ah, I COMPLETELY misread her comment as being less than enthused about "Womanist". Mea culpa.

If I may, at least, most of the people i've run into who use "womanist" do so because of the issues of racial inequality they feel are endemic to Feminism.

You know, I mostly agree with you, but do you understand how tiring this "one tiny step at at time" stuff is?

That cover art makes them look like they're about to engage in the most epic chest-bump ever.

I am late on this. Way insanely late on this. But here's an article on why saying "Yes but..." doesn't really fight Misogyny. Change Misogyny to racism, and we've got something I think a lot of the dissenters here might at least consider.

Why can't they have been smart about this? I mean, I know this is Hollywood and asking for anything more than "Cheap Cash in on Nerds" is asking a lot, but really? Akira touched on a lot of themes that are international, and they could do a treatment/revision of it for the west that kept those themes and wasn't as…

Actually, Jean-Luc Picard isn't weird. There are eight million British people of French descent living in the UK, including Dido (Full Name: Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong) and Emma Watson (Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson). Moreover, England and France are two nations with a entangled history, so…

Well, everyone knows Lemurs like to move it, move it.
