I just watched a B-movie revenge story. Played out with T-Rexes.
Seriously.
They took his arm. They destroyed his family. Now the only thing he has left is…VENGEANCE!
Complete with our hero getting sweet loving from his wife on the eve of his victory.
WTF…
Someone tell me this man is trolling. The idea that he’s contributing a dialogue about and the presentation of minorities in fiction is too depressing to contemplate otherwise.
Annnnd this would be where I lost it, friends and gentlepersons. Full on guffawing and rolling on the floor.
It didn’t help that my mind provided a *poot!* sound-effect when I hit that last panel.
I never thought I’d say this, but I may have to give this a rent when it hits DVD.
Just…just go watch the review, OMG.
…why yes, I am going to discount your opinion on whether or not a character is OOC if the only place you’ve read about him/her is in fanfic. No apologies.
It’s totally normal that Johnny makes Peter breakfast in only a pair of speedos and an apron…
…you know.
If I didn’t know better.
I would honest to god think this was fanart.
:D God bless you Marvel. Bless your little hearts.
Wait. This isn’t actually fanart.

Wait what?
Rogue and Gambit sketchcards by Randy Green.
These are very pretty. There is no way in hell they’re $1600 worth of pretty, sorry. (click for ebay link).
The material calls for lawmakers to amend state laws governing school curriculums, and for textbook selection criteria to say that “No portrayal of minority experience in the history which actually occurred shall obscure the experience or contributions of the Founding Fathers, or the majority of citizens, including those who reached positions of leadership.”
In other words, the request is to remove all references to slavery or genocide from American history textbooks, so as not to besmirch the reputation and standing of the Founding Fathers.
This sounds similar to moves made in other states, notably Texas.
Say NO to ACTA
ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, makes SOPA look like child’s play. It would establish an independent multi-national governing body focused solely on enforcing the intellectual property rights of major corporations. Learn more here.
