It's probably the same handful of gatekeeping neckbeards who raged about Carol not being fappable enough cause she had a defined jawline and was drawn proportionally like a real muscular woman in the comics.

oh, they do. I'm sure they're a small minority, but they where loud as **** during CWII


Which probbaly was also the same jackwagons that didn't think Brie was pleasing enough to look at, casue she wasn't smiling on the posters. So they ran pictures of her as CM through FaceApp to make her smile.

Brie everytime she opens her mouth she becomes that much more unlikeable

Anyone care to wager whether or not that ends up being a white male?

Didn't people bitch about Henry Cavill's Superman not smiling enough?

They did, come to think of it. If it'd been a woman and a few years later, there would probably be dozens of ire articles written about it.

they ABSOLUTELY did. along with him being too murdery and not acting supermanery enough.


You have no idea how nice it was to see Superman smile on Supergirl. about the only good thing to come out of that mess of a series.

I wonder, since Disney is about to obtain the X-Men and if this movie does end up underperforming, do you think?...

[Candy Kappa]

I doubt it, Carol hasn't been Ms. Marvel for a long while.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I know, and it's a little disappointing. That's the name I've known her as the longest, and the one I grew up with.

The sooner the better!

Nah I'm just messin. Though I hope that happens eventually. It's one of my favourite defining moments of Rogue's history.

No not that, I mean Rogue permanently draining her powers. If this movie really does end up being a disappointment, then that would be a convenient way to get rid of Carol. You know like how the Hulk movie didn't do so well, so they just kind of ignore it and turned the Planet Hulk adaptation into a Thor sequel.

I bet it happens. They will definitely be looking at ways to "handshake in" the new X-Men with the existing MCU movies, properties. That would be one way right there.

More like, "Behaving appropriately within the context of the story he was in," which didn't afford many Happy Sunshine moments. He smiled when it was appropriate, and displayed other emotions when appropriate. That's not improper. Nor did be "murder" anyone.

I can't believe there's an arbitrary "Smile Counter" for super-hero movies now. These things aren't important. Some people just want to complain.

I agree that Supergirl is terrible. I disagree about Tyler; he is also terrible. That show wouldn't still be on if not for the current climate of gender politics.

Hopefully this film won't be as heavy-handed as some of the marketing. And I say "some" because, while I have seen a few ads that were definitely slanted, I've also seen several that were neutral. It doesn't look interesting to me personally, but it doesn't look any different from the standard MCU fare. I think anyone who has already enjoyed the others but is dismissive of this one because of gender politics is jumping the gun a bit. It's probably fine.

Well... that's not very reassuring. Last cover it was "The Future is Female" and now they're literally telling us she's coming to fight sexism?

WB owns EW, doesn't it? Maybe they're trolling Marvel...
