MCU-stans are going through a real rough patch right now. With their king, Jeff Marvel, gone for 3 months, they don't know how to handle the increased criticism and mockery.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

After grueling research thanks to the newly discovered fact that Jews are White I have decided to look into Ms Marvel through the white lens.

Not to mention that a majority of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi Jews originating from Arab countries that either were expelled or had to flee to Israel as refugees themselves. So, to describe Israel as a white colonialist state is factually inaccurate.

This is an informative post, but I'll just chime in that being white is an extremely fluid concept. Regardless of their particular genetics/origins, I would argue that Israelis are generally viewed as white today.

EXHIBIT A



NO HIJAB! 

EXHIBIT B



WORSHIPS A WHITE WOMAN 

EXHIBIT C



"INFIDEL MEAT" what self respecting Muslim womyn would say that, you ask?

It's because of EXHIBIT D



MS MARVEL WAS WRITTEN BY A WHITE WOMAN

Wilson, who is thirty-four, has taken an unlikely path to the center of this debate. She was born in New Jersey, in Monmouth County; in her 2010 memoir, “The Butterfly Mosque,” she describes spending her adolescence as “an upper-middle-class American white girl with bland politics and polite beliefs.” She converted to Islam when she was twenty.

"but GN Ms Marvel was created by a POC" Sana Amanat may have created her but a WHITE WOMAN gave Ms Marvel her written voice.

Because of this evidence I can tell the bore without a shadow of doubt that Marvel's Kamala Khan is WHITE. This is not a debate. This is a FACT.

[Greatness Gone]

They also made this thread in an attempt to counter the "narrative". To their credit, they are offering some compelling evidence that Marvel is better than ever:

this scene was cool ngl, but only because Chloe Zhao aped Man of Steel pretty hard for most of Eternal's action scenes.

She wrote a memoir at 26? About what?

Her parents were atheists who renounced Protestantism in the late 1960s,[1] hence Wilson was not raised in a religious household.

Converting to Islam
After high school, Wilson attended Boston University to pursue a degree in history. During her sophomore year, Wilson began experiencing adrenal problems [6] and the associated discomfort resulted in her studying a number of religions, including Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. After studying Judaism she focused on Islam, which appealed to her because "to become a Muslim is sort of a deal between you and God."[7] The 9/11 terrorist attack set back her religious studies – fearing she had misjudged the religion – but she later resumed her studies.[5]

In 2003, shortly before her graduation, Wilson agreed to teach English in Cairo. During the plane journey, Wilson converted to Islam; claiming she "made peace with God. I called him Allah." According to Butterfly Mosque, upon arrival in Cairo, Wilson secretly practiced Islam but after becoming engaged to an Egyptian she began to practice it more openly.

Additionally, Wilson released a memoir titled The Butterfly Mosque about life in Egypt during the Mubarak regime, which was named a Seattle Times Best Book of 2010.

Getting a lot of cultural appropriation vibes here.

Eternals was basically a Snyder film.

Guys I came out to my family today as a trans lesbian, but I've got a crick in my neck and can't eat puss properly

The closest trans lesbians get to pussy is watching porn. If you can suck the girldick you'll be fine.

Trang the Genocider

Counter proposal for Trang: She travels back in time to points before she came out as trans to pre-emptively claim her improved position in the progressive stack and acceptance in lesbian spaces.

Due to certain medical issues I cannot currently suck girldick

[DocWager]

This MCU stuff will really blow up if The Marvels bombs. You will see some nasty threads attacking people for causing this. You just wait, and see.

[Nintex]

The Disney peeps themselves (despite Iger telling them to knock it off) will also hide behind accusations of anti-female and racist sentiments to desperately sell some additional tickets like they did with Star Wars.

I suspect Disney will close the deal to buy EA on or around the launch day of The Marvels.

[Averon]

Another MCU thread in OT, another thread for trolls to gloat and shitpost.

Oof, the Loki view thread is so obnoxious to read through....

People here acting like it didn't chart on Nielsen with a decent number for 1 episode aired.

Like others have stated this season is a lot heavier on it's plot, more complex and a slow burn.

I saw the show really start trending after the payoff in ep 4

One day this forum will learn how to read the Nielsen charts and how Samba TV works.

Today is not that day

Y'all really need to use the ignore feature more

Oh the second I finished reading the thread title, I did.

Gonna be great, so many of the in-clique nowadays are MCU superfans. We may see another mass exodus lol

That safe space MCU thread is so cute btw. Now the head (ZeroVag) is temporarily chopped off they dont quite know what to do with themselves. For his many , many faults, Zerovag at least had no shame about confronting people, sorry replying to everyone in the thread to tell them why they are 'wrong' none of the others

Have the balls to do so, so snark in the safe space thread and then do timid hit and runs in that Variety thread, love the current attempt to muddy the waters. The thing that should worry them more is her sources are probably from within Marvel Productions probably others jockeying for position in a post Feige setup.

For people who are apparently superfans I would have thought a better MCU would be in their best interests but remember these are people who said things like Ms Marvel, Moon Knight and She Hulk were great and are currently stanning The Marvels.

Iirc anthony was the worst poster in the wrestling thread and that says a lot.

The return of Loki to Disney+ didn’t cause quite as big a stir as the show’s debut.

Season two of the Marvel series premiered on Oct. 5, and it gathered 446 million minutes of viewing time over its first three days and change (it was released at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT Oct. 5 in the United States), according to Nielsen’s streaming rankings. That’s about 39 percent lower than the 731 million minutes of viewing for Loki’s series premiere week in June 2021.

Disney said that the season two premiere, which runs 47 minutes, had 10.9 million “views” worldwide, which would equate to about 512 million minutes of watch time (the increasingly standard definition of a streaming view is total viewing time divided by run time). The 446 million minutes recorded by Nielsen includes viewing of season one’s six episodes as well, so it’s hard to say exactly how much time U.S. viewers spent watching just the season two opener — though it’s likely responsible for the majority of viewing time for the week.

HBO’s World War II miniseries Band of Brothers (559 million minutes) and The Pacific (491 million) racked up a combined 1.09 billion minutes of viewing on Max and Netflix after making their premieres (on Sept. 15) on the latter service.

Original Series

1. Love Is Blind, 821 million minutes
2. Ahsoka (Disney+), 575 million
3. Only Murders in the Building (Hulu), 563 million
4. Beckham (Netflix), 519 million
5. Virgin River (Netflix), 485 million
6. Loki (Disney+), 446 million
7. Sex Education (Netflix), 443 million
8. Lupin (Netflix), 436 million
9. The Wheel of Time (Prime Video), 430 million
10. Gen V (Prime Video), 378 million

Acquired Series

1. Suits, 1.28 billion minutes
2. Grey’s Anatomy, 1 billion
3. Bluey, 701 million
4. NCIS, 666 million
5. Gilmore Girls, 628 million
6. Cocomelon, 597 million
7. Shameless (Netflix), 497 million
7 (tie). SWAT (Hulu/Netflix/Paramount+), 497 million
9. Friends (Max), 424 million
10. The Big Bang Theory (Max), 418 million

LOKI SEASON TWO PREMIERE MORE POPULAR THAN FRIENDS AND BIG BANG THEORY

Rolling Stone published her Ray Fisher hit piece (Which even I believed for a while until Fisher came with the receipts). And her "Jason Momoa dressed up as Johnny Depp to attack poor Amber Heard" piece.

If Collider and other sources are calling out their framing of DaCosta's moving and writers are questioning the "Feelings and Lessons" script, then it's at least a bit fishy.

Collider is not a good source. Taking Collider's word over Variety Is nuts. But I also didn't know that about the author.

This is absolutely right and makes the MCU maniacs look hilariously retarded. Industry mags like Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, and Variety are leagues ahead of online sites such as Collider.

[DocWager]

I need the poster who would claim they’d kill themselves over the MCU fandom being attacked.

[kaleidoscopium]

I think it's entirely fine for someone to not care about or even root against the continued success of a Hollywood megafranchise. I don't that makes someone a chud. I touch grass frequently.

Congratulations on the worst post of the thread.

Jesus Christ, let us watch a fucking superhero movie.

Imagine these responses to Kyuuji's cyberpunk or Hogwarts Legacy posts

Isn't collider what the whole nerd crew bit from RLM is based on?

[benji]

Who is supposed to be smearing the MCU with this piece? Like she woke up one day and decided to make up a bunch of production-based lies and her editors thought that would be a good read?

Notice the trend in all the "problematic" pieces they're referring to, she was passing on someone else's agenda. So if someone is out to smear the MCU, Disney, Feige, etc. with this story, then who is it?

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

This is potentially universal changing for trans people if it could lead to that.

Not for awhile sadly, but perhaps a couple of generations down the line!

Indeed. As a layman reading the thoughts of people with professional knowledge in this field, it seems like this is a foundational step and something Trans people could well utilise in the future.

People who complain about the MCU are easy to explain: it is the vile jealousy of untalented vultures who have absolutely nothing in the way of anything personal or worthwhile to say (because if they did, well, they'd be making art by now), because they think the process of making art itself is the problem. They think learning, exploring, and improving yourself, that using the process of creating art as a means of self-expression and humanism, are inherently useless. They literally do not like being artists. They instead like what they believe is a shortcut to financial gain and respect that comes with being an artist. And ultimately, the world would legitimately be better off without these people.

Baby: "Mummy, how was I born?"

Mama Kyuuji: "Some random woman died and donated her organs, so the doctors cut the womb out from her corpse, cut open your Mama Kyuuji, took out chunks of my own organs to make room for the new womb, then used a tube to artificially fertilise you. Then you grew in my belly and the doctors had to cut me open again because I couldn't push you out of my fake vagina. Any more questions, my beautiful he/she/they/them/xe/xey child?"

Baby: "Abort me"

Addressing some complaints

Hi addressing some complaints here. Version 1.0 added pronouns to character creation in Lunacid, which some people are upset about because they exist, and some people are upset because they think it’s a cheap tactic to make people mad, and that I’m hurting people who normally use them.

Originally yes, I did add them as a spiteful response to a similar drama about Starfield. Earlier than that when I noticed them in Baulder’s Gate 3 I was happy that I could be my NB self, and thought wow I really should have added them in my Character Creator. I’ve had similar ideas about adding a gender slider in the past. But that idea didn’t really have a purpose in my eyes until I got mad that day.

Some people who are quoting my tweet have also been leaving out my second one, where I clarified a bit because I thought it could be interpreted badly. I said this under my “I’m adding em, Just to make people mad”,

In a fantasy world you should be able to be whatever you want.

I do think it helps roleplaying a bit, even though there’s no place they are used in-game. I tried to think of some scenarios when they would be used, but talking about the player in third person only happens once in the game, and it’s after the final boss anyway.

Games should be a safe place, where we can experience a world we cannot in real life. And while pronouns are more and more commonplace in real life, where I live in NC, they are not. Which gives me more of a reaction than some to outrages over this small thing.

I wanted to use my control over my world, but I understand that Lunacid isn’t just mine. It belongs to all of you. If you don’t like pronouns existing at all, you are going to have a tougher and tougher time coping as the world progresses without you. And if I hurt you because you feel that I weaponized your differences or your pain, then I am very sorry.

I want this game to be uplifting, I want it to be a dream in which you can experience triumph over impossible odds and then wake up at the end and bring newfound confidence with you. In reality I am just emulating the dreams I had when I was near ending my life. They became lucid and when I triumphed in them and woke up, I brought those feelings with me, and they helped me. That’s what this game is about, and if I’m doing the opposite then I’m not a very good game designer.

I can't be bothered to find it, but there was an amazing reply tweet to Bernie Sanders talking about the synagogue mass shooting anniversary that ended with "A WHITE MAN" that has been living rent free in my head since I read it. Always get a chuckle out of it.
