    Yeah, and it was also a dog whistle to conservatives to feel under represented and “oppressed” by the presence of a non white person as a superhero.

    The people you’re talking about can easily clarify it by saying “I don’t like it, but I’m happy to see more women and people of color in these roles”. Bish bash bosh, not a racist.

        Okay, but that was you. There were thousands more broskis online that hated it simply because it reminded them that minorities exist.

          Sure. But you can tell what they are because they say things like “the agenda” and “forced diversity,” or spend time getting mad that a Marvel series had the nerve to be made for young people.

        I didn’t go see it because I’m burnt out on Marvel movie seemingly made MadLibs style with the same 3 predictable plots and a word bank of characters and settings.

              What? How do you have a conversation with people without explaining your thoughts? In my head your conversations go like this lol

              Person: Hey Ilovethebomb, you see the new marvel movie.

              You: Yeah, I didn’t like it.

              Person: Really, why not?

              You: I don’t need a reason why.

              So again, is that really how you talk to people. It can’t be right?

                  I can only assume from your inability to answer my question that the answer is yes, you really do talk to people like that. What a strange way to go through life. Why join a social media network just to be antisocial lol.

                    You really just invented a hypothetical scenario in your head and got angry about it, didn’t you?
