This is a space for nerds and feminists who are tired of sexism in comic books and the community surrounding them and the mansplaining that accompanies it. Recently, I've expanded to talking about other aspects of Nerd Culture like Video Games. Share your stories, experiences.
Before you ask: Yes I am MORE than aware that there are companies other than the Big 2.
cadenceofhyrule asked: Why hasn't Marvel announced a director for Captain Marvel? They've announced every director for all of the phase 3 films except Captain Marvel. Doesn't seem like they're all that ambitious about that movie, which is a damn shame.
We’re literally getting one piece of major news a year for this movie….last year they announced that it was being written, and then this year the captain marvel casting was announced. They move so quickly with the other movies but have been suspiciously sluggish with Captain Marvel. Methinks they’re going to push the date again, especially with the news that they got the rights to Namor back. They’re not taking this movie seriously at all and it’s very frustrating that no one will call them out on it.
When fans imagined who might play the title role in Marvel’s forthcoming Netflix series Iron Fist, they had some fresh ideas.

If DC retcons Harley finally divorcingherself from Joker as her own character, I won’t stop ever shut up, the whole world will hear me fight about this until I die.

Continuity may forget, but readers won’t. “Remove the thorn, but remains the scar.”

So Ike Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Entertainment, who is the same guy who said he didn’t want to make superhero movies about women, just gave a million dollars to Donald Trump.
Here’s what I have to say about why that means he is completely unsuitable to head up anything involving Marvel and why it’s antithetical to everything Marvel stands for:
witch-brat asked: do you know if there are blogs dedicated to badly drawn women in comics ? if there aren't i am definitely going to start one, i already hoarded a url
I know that there is eschergirls but there could always be more! Women in comics are always drawn in such ludicrous ways.
I’m seeing a thinkpiece on why Jessica Jones will beat Supergirl and, like…
*Grabs Megaphone*
Women are not subject to the rules of Highlander! There can be more than one female-led superhero show! They can serve different demographics and interests! Stop pitting all women against each other in some sick, subtly sexist Battle Royale!
*puts down Megaphone* … *picks up Megaphone*
Did anyone lose a Megaphone? I found this one and it has the name Brittany on it but I’m not Brittany, so like…
this is so ridiculous Supergirl is doing really well and Jessica Jones is an online show one is not affecting the other in any way WHY TF IS THIS AN ARTICLE SUPERGIRL ISN’T GETTING CANCELLED
