Loving comics doesn't mean ignoring their problems

WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME TO BE ALIVE :D

And the role of Marvel’s Iron Fist goes to … a white guy

When fans imagined who might play the title role in Marvel’s forthcoming Netflix series Iron Fist, they had some fresh ideas. While Iron Fist is white in the comics, many fans hoped the superhero, a master of martial arts, would be played by an Asian-American actor. On Thursday, those hopes were dashed when it was reported Game of Thrones actor Finn Jones got the job. 

One tweet on the casting: “If @Marvel had cast Iron First with an Asian actor I could have given them a pass for 50 years of this.”

If DC retcons Harley finally divorcing herself from Joker as her own character, I won’t stop ever shut up, the whole world will hear me fight about this until I die. You don’t go from a woman finally getting the upper-hand against her sometimes abuser to putting them back again willy-nilly. Continuity may forget, but readers won’t. “Remove the thorn, but remains the scar.”

OUR RAGE WILL KNOW NO BOUNDS WE WILL BE ETERNAL FLAME BABIES

nobody does disregarding poorly written/executed canon in favor of wildly preferable fanon quite like comic book fandoms

reblog with your favorite bit of canon to ignore in the tags

So Ike Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Entertainment, who is the same guy who said he didn’t want to make superhero movies about women, just gave a million dollars to Donald Trump.

Here’s what I have to say about why that means he is completely unsuitable to head up anything involving Marvel and why it’s antithetical to everything Marvel stands for:

I’m seeing a thinkpiece on why Jessica Jones will beat Supergirl and, like…

*Grabs Megaphone*

Women are not subject to the rules of Highlander! There can be more than one female-led superhero show! They can serve different demographics and interests! Stop pitting all women against each other in some sick, subtly sexist Battle Royale!

*puts down Megaphone* … *picks up Megaphone*

Did anyone lose a Megaphone? I found this one and it has the name Brittany on it but I’m not Brittany, so like…

this is so ridiculous Supergirl is doing really well and Jessica Jones is an online show one is not affecting the other in any way WHY TF IS THIS AN ARTICLE SUPERGIRL ISN'T GETTING CANCELLED

Dear Marvel,

Please put Jeremy Renner in the trash where he belongs. We love Hawkeye though, so here are some continuity suggestions for MCU:

Thank you for your time.

Even goddamn Robert Republican Downey Jr. gave a shit about the pay inequality between him and his fellow Avengers cast members.

Renner is an utter piece of shit.

Melissa Benoist is on TV GUIDE AND THE SHOT IS NOT SEXUALIZED AT ALL!!!

THIS IS GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MTV: Being in league with a superhero, though, usually leads to a whole lot of dude-or-damsal in distress situations. Is it the same with Jimmy and Kara, and if so, what’s it like having tiny Melissa carry you around to save the day?  

Mehcad Brooks: There’s been a couple times where I’ve been the dude in distress, so I’m all good with that. Women have been quote-unquote superheroes in our society for years - my mother is a superhero to me, my grandmother as well, and I think that we’re just getting to a place in our society where we’re actually recognizing their contribution in the way that it should be.So I’m happy to be a part of that, I’m happy to be the dude in distress.

My mom saved my ass more times than I can count; my grandma saved my ass more times than I can count. If it wasn’t for the powerful women in my life, I would not be where I’m at. All men have been that dude in distress, and we’re just too prideful to admit it. But women have come to our aid, whether it’s a girlfriend, a wife, a mother, a sister, a best friend. I don’t know a man who could say he’s at where he’s at without a woman. So I’m okay with that. Go ahead and carry me through the fire Melissa, go ahead girl!

Losing my shit over on twitter about the news that Captain Marvel has once again been pushed back in favor of a white fuckboy getting another movie.

Fucking March 8, 2019 now.

BREAKING: Marvel announces ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ sequel for July 2018

From the press release:

Oh my god I love Wasp (even though its not Janet obviously, BOO) but could they STOP pushing back Carol and T'Challa's movies? Wonder why they keep pushing back Carol and T'Challa's movies.... OH WAIT I know why

Yep. More gifs.
