Don’t let me go, go, go, go………
You know, I love the Marvel movies, but they're doing something wrong that the comics did right. The movies are erasing important, distinctive parts of the characters.
Hawkeye is disabled/deaf in the comics, but not in the movies
Loki is genderfluid, yet we've only seen him as male in the movies
Wanda is Jewish and Romani in the comics, but she's played by a white person (don't get me wrong though I love Elizabeth Olsen and think she's doing a great job) and in Captain America: Civil War, Wanda had crosses on her wall in her room, which are clear Christian symbols
Joe Russo played the MCU's "first openly gay character" in Avengers: Endgame and the representation was so small that it was kind of insulting. Now, having said that, this means Marvel's taking a step in the right direction, but given their track record, I'm afraid they're going to straightwash Billy and Tommy Maximoff (if they grow older than children) like they did with Ayo (Black Panther), Mystique (X-men), and Valkyrie (Thor: Ragnarok). Plus, Billy, at least, isn't just a minor gay character. He and his husband are like THE LGBT icons of the Marvel Universe. They have a whole comic line just dedicated to their wedding.
(Plus, back to the Wanda being Jewish thing, you can clearly see Billy wearing a kippah at his wedding in the second picture, which is a Jewish cap. They did, in fact, have a Jewish wedding in the comics. She raised (or rather didn't????) her kids to be Jewish like her.)
I'm sure there are probably several other characters that have characteristics that are being overlooked that I haven't listed here, but these are just the few that I could think of. All I'm saying is I want more than just Tony's PTSD represented. Because that was also a real problem and I'm not ignoring that Marvel did do a good job of showing that. But I want more than that.
This ball of fur interrupted me for attention so I made a comic to get back at him
Turns out he can’t read :(
(No I don’t feed him human snacks don’t worry-)
(He barges in whenever I snack even tho he has his own snacks that he can ask for anytime)
Reblog and put in the tags why you wouldn't survive in a horror movie
Grumble grumble…
Where do I get a best friend who’d call my name the same way Geto does ‘Satoruu~~’ every time
I’m terribly sorry, madam. I have absolutely no idea where he learned that word.
