Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I'm editing this OP and pinning it to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.

...No.
The Head of the Hydra
Even then white men are currently in the Great War Of Harassing And Sending Death Threats To Two Voice Actresses And Cons for Ousting A Voice Actor For Decades Of Harassment.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
No, I will NOT watch that video but I and other people can still criticise your point, because we have heard this bullshit countless time before.
Knock it off, dude.
LDragon2, you've been cautioned many times about coming into threads just to doomsay.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
The Head of the Hydra
A lot are basically harassing & sending death threats to them though.
I think they outnumber the people asking for more than just claims.
Even then if someone’s racked up 20 years worth of allegations & general negative opinions from people, there’s prolly a nugget of truth there.
Though that’s beside the point.

I'm a filthy white boy and I'd like to think my kind deserves a sizable chunk of the mockery and flack that we get, to be frank. Let Brie and co. have this.
I won't rag on you for not caring much for CM, but your mentality here is...not a very good look.

Self-serious autistic metalhead who goes by any pronouns. (avvie template source)
Brie Larson said nothing of the sort.
No I'm not. But if you make the movie that is a love letter to women of color, there is an insanely low chance a woman of color will have a chance to see your movie and review your movie."Her statements about the majority of critic and publicity spaces being comprised of white men isn't aimed at forcing out them. It's aimed at herself to create more open spaces with the privilege she's been afforded.
Sounds a lot like With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

Yeah, there's no point arguing with you. I don't need to hear any more.
Bahaha, it's not even leftist. It's intersectionality 101. It's just left out of center.
...so attacking minorities is better than attacking majorities?
Edited by Tuckerscreator on Feb 18th 2019 at 12:10:57 PM
It's best if you don't attack any demographic, be it majority or minority. Especially ones who make up a bulk of the paying audience.
Also, "virtue signaling" is a phrase that is, essentially, used by people who don't like to be criticized for the things they say. You want to know what it means? Here, watch this video:

And this is why I don’t like politics, it gets ugly.
At least with Thanos his views are fucking nonsense so we can all agree he’s just out of it
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
People have been trying to get those who advocate positive social change to "keep their mouth shut" for a long, long time, and it's always given me a little more faith in the world that those people can still be summarily ignored.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.
LDragon2, you've done this many times before, coming into a thread apropos of nothing and dropping a link to some doomsaying or negative article/video just to stir up an argument.
You were also specifically told to knock it off by the site moderators, if I'm not mistaken.

Well she didn’t. She was talking about spaces of only white film critics.
I seem to recall most of these “stop virtue signaling” blokes not being particularly fond of critics.
I have already sent a holler to the mods. Hopefully this'll get sorted out.
So I'm not allowed to be critical of Larson or the film then?
The film hasn't come out yet, so any criticism of it would be premature at best. And your criticism of Larson herself is so full of faults, it's just...silly at this point.
If your "criticism" had basis in reality, sure. But as this entire page has shown, much of what you say is built upon accusations that aren't actually true, misuse of phrases you don't actually understand, and general aggressiveness that isn't actually warranted.

Not to mention, as others have said, L Dragon 2, you have done this sort of things many times before. Just drop some links into a thread out of nowhere and try to raise controversies.
Edited by Nightwire on Feb 18th 2019 at 12:28:35 PM
I take it I'm not welcome here.
Oh, bother.
Only so long as you continue to engage in the same behavior that the mods have already warned you to stop doing.
Disgusted, but not surprised
Oh no, how dare a celebrity being granted public influence use it to help reporters of color and school children.
White dudes will be fine. They survived the Great War of Wonder Woman Banning All Men From All Theaters. They survived The Scandal of Brie Not Clapping For A White Man Because He's An Abuser. They can survive this. I believe in them.
