No but like Steph’s the one who takes time to go and see Joe when he’s stuck at home and try and tell him what’s happened Steph’s the one who gives Joe a place to stay when he leaves home. Steph and Joe’s friendship is so important, Steph is important. Remember Steph, Pride fandom, you have forgotten Steph and so you have forgotten the film.

“She is a patriotic symbol of hope for Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans. We don’t need to look outside of us for the power—we have it inside,” says La Borinqueña’s creator.

There were also other pioneering [East and Southeast] Asian American actors like Benson Fong, Victor Sen Yung, Lotus Long, Suzanna Kim, Barbara Jean Wong, Fely Franquelli, Chester Gan, Honorable Wu, Kam Tong, Layne Tom Jr., Maurice Liu, Teru Shimada, Willie Fung and Wing Foo; all began their film careers in the 1930s and ‘40s.
With the relatively small percentage of actors that support themselves by acting, it was only logical that they should try to limit the available talent pool as much as possible. One way of doing this was by placing restrictions on minority actors, which, in the case of Asian actors, meant that they could usually only get roles as houseboys, cooks, laundrymen, and crazed war enemies, with the rare “white hero’s loyal sidekick” roles going to the big name actors. When the script called for a larger Asian role, it was almost inevitably given to a white actor. (A Brief History of Hollywood Yellowface)

Cassandra Cain & Family
In a family basically built on the idea of two characters being “DYNAMIC,” Cassandra stands to have a lot of interesting interactions with the characters around her. And the great thing with Cass is that dynamic is a right description.
However brief her interactions with other characters in the Bat Family might be, when she’s allowed a dynamic with them, it’s unlike any of the other interactions she has int eh Bat Family. Each one is unique and both Cass and the other member receive different things from each other as a result.
Issues with Cass are hard to find, and often it can be hard to exactly peg down what a relationship is, so I figured I’d make a quick little fact sheet for curious fans and fandom contributors who want to know more about Cassandra in the Bat Family : )

Why do you always HAVE to point out you didnt likes bvs? That you had problems with it? Whats the problem about making a post about wonder woman and not pointing out how much you didnt liked the film? Is it because you're trying to be 'tumblr edgy'? Hate everything to be cool? It's pathetic
I don’t “always” point out that I don’t like it. I’ve made, like, a grand total of three posts about it. And considering how many obnoxious posts I see about how it was the most brilliant thing ever and people who don’t like it Just Don’t Understand, I’ve been pretty good about being quiet.
You make it sound like I’m constantly posting about how much I hated BvS, which I don’t. But… guess what? Even if I did, I WOULDN’T BE DOING ANYTHING WRONG. It’s my blog. It is literally THERE for me to post my opinions on things, and sometimes those opinions will be negative. My followers have every right to disagree with those opinions, as do other tumblr users. But unless the opinions are offensive (and disliking a movie other people liked is not), you have no right to come here and criticize me for it. I’m not hijacking BvS positivity posts. I’m not putting hate in the BvS tags. If I make a post that mentions not liking BvS and someone who liked the movie happens to see it, that’s not somehow a wrong I’ve done you. I mentioned not liking a movie in a post. Someone reblogged that post. You saw it and disagreed with my opinion of the movie. No one did anything wrong here? Sometimes people are just gonna have opinions you don’t agree with.
And oh my god, my dear child. Here is what I find hilarious.
How does not liking one movie somehow equal hating “everything” to be “tumblr edgy” (whatever that means)? My blog is, quite literally, FILLED with posts about the numerous books, movies, comics, and TV shows that I love. There are some negative posts and rants, yes. But it’s vastly outweighed by me squeeing and fangirling over things I love. I LIKE being positive about things. I like being able to enjoy them and gush over them. If BvS had been good, I would have happily gushed and fangirled over it, too.
So clearly, I do not “hate everything to be cool”. You could argue that I only hate popular things to be cool, but you would still run into a problem, because if so I should also have hated Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and The Force Awakens, and Hamilton, and numerous other movies and shows that are both popular on tumblr and absolute favorites of mine.
And so, sadly, we come to the truth: I don’t hate everything. I don’t hate popular things. I just really, really hate Batman v Superman. (I would have phrased that more diplomatically, but frankly, people like you are doing nothing to make me like it more.)
But let’s turn this around on you, anon: Why would you immediately jump to the conclusion that someone who dislikes a thing that you liked must hate everything? And that instead of having legitimate reasons for their dislike, they must just be “hating everything to be cool” because it’s “tumblr edgy”?
Are you that desperate to find a strawman to knock down? Does there need to be some grand conspiracy theory at play every time someone disagrees with you?
Or could it just be that, sometimes, people are going to watch movies and come away with a different impression than you did?
Because honestly, this desperation to insist that Batman v Superman was a flawless movie and anyone who dislikes it must just want to hate everything for its own sake is what’s really coming across as pathetic to me.
