Dumb Political Correctness

I think you mean Capt. Marvel.

Wasn't Capt. Marvel (AKA Shazam) a man for decades and decades? Is this more Marvel Comics / Disney Political Correctness run amuck?

No, Shazam is DC - at some point he was called Captain Marvel but I think they either dropped that name, or they just don't use it in the comic title. FYI, there is in fact a Shazam movie coming out shortly, and it may be funny. Jury's out.



The Marvel Captain Marvel was always female.
 
It's like she doesn't want traditional comic book readers to go to this movie:



I get her point to an extent, but you can't say "I want everyone's opinion," and then say "I don't care about what YOU think about it." If she wants to make a comic book movie, she has to get that her audience does actually include white men in their 40s.

By the same token. Critics do their job, and she needs to get over it. If someone doesn't like her movie, calling them sexist white men and dismissing what they say is pretty childish.

Sounds like the femi-nazis are trying to do for Capt. Marvel what the MSM and minorities did for Black Panther; create a tidal wave of overblown, undeserved rave reviews. Panther still holds a 97% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. No critic dared give it a bad review. It even got a token Academy Award nomination for best picture.

Aw, for the good old days when movies like The Godfather, Patton, Jaws, etc. had to stand on their own merit and didn't have an ax to grind.

So if you don't want the LGBT agenda taught in your schools, find some Muslins and get them to complain. That sets up an intersectionality conflict, and the school will give in. Link.

Just more idiocy on display. It's idiotic that schools have family and sexuality "education" in the first place, and it's idiotic that one religious group's influence carries weight while another's doesn't.

This was a volume of complaints problem not necessarily a Muslim problem based on me reading of the article.

So Capt America was a male and is still a male in the movies (right?)
Was Capt Marvel a transgendered fictional comic book character? Is the movie character a trans or is she full on female?

Yes, Capt. America is still a man.

According to Prodigal, the Capt. Marvel I remember became Shazam and DC dropped the name. Apparently then Marvel introduced a character of the same name, whose movie is coming to a theatre near you. I think.

Here's an old pic of Captain Marvel from Wikipedia. Looks like a dude to me, so maybe he did go the Bruce Jenner route. I guess you'll have to go see the movie to find out for sure.

First you said
"who literally disregard any potential illegality by their candidate."
I asked you if you were serious. Potential. lol
I guess you looked up the definition of potential
so now you have changed it to
" Lots of evidence of illegality but not warranting an investigation?"
can you list any "evidence"


aren't you surprised with all that "evidence" all anyone including you can do is talk?
 
Brie Larson is showing herself to be a complete bore of a person. I am a total Marvel comics geek but reading what she says is making me rethink watching the movie.

For the history of Cpt Marvel, Cpt. Marvel exists still in DC and Marvel. Marvel bought the rights from DC years ago to use the name but DC still has the right too. The stipulation is that Marvel can only use it as longs there is not a 5 year gap between having an active comic book with that character.

The original Marvel character was Mar-Vell a Kree soldier who develops a soft spot for humans in his dealing with them. He has super powers and all that too. He interacts with a human woman, Carol Danvers. They are a love interest for a while. She somehow gets powers and becomes Ms. Marvel. Then after 2010 Marvel decided to make Carol Danvers Capt. Marvel when they had to introduce another Capt. Marvel comic into their line up to keep the right. So now she is Capt. Marvel. Her powers didn't change, just the name.

In case you or anyone else found yourself asking "What next?"
I am now able to give you the answer



This will no doubt quickly replace woke Capt Marvel as the greatest Marvel of all time
(dont blame me, I am not allowed to contribute to the establishment of the hierarchy)
But this is also not to dispute Black Panther as the greatest everything of all time

Liberals, did I state this correctly?
 
DC has beaten Marvel to the punch at every turn (but Marvel just does it better). They had a gay Green Lantern for a while. Don't think it went over to well in the long run.
 
With reference to the Muslim representatives comments about Israel, "Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, "No one seeks this level of reprimand when members make statements about Latinx + other communities."

Sh*thole anyone? It is patently obvious that a very large number of people took this personally and have carried forward in their portfolio of hatred. Same with the rapists comments made by Trump.

Obviously, the school officials aren't going to say, "we only backed down because the the complainers were Muslims, and we would have told a bunch of Christians or Jews with similar complaints to screw off." However, the article is pretty clear that the primary people who complained and protested were Muslim. It's also worth noting that Birmingham has a very large Muslim population.

To be clear, I'm with the Muslims here. If schools don't want to get "politicized" and don't want to be blamed for social problems, then they need to stay out social issues. It isn't their responsibility, and it isn't their right.

This is another piece of genius by her/him/it/them. You see her name next to a blonde woman, and you read "Tatiana". I do. But it's Titania, as in Titanium.

I read it as Titania, and hardly thought anything of it, because it sadly wouldn't even make the top 25 of ridiculous stuff I've seen parents do with girls' names.
 
So while Husker is wallowing around with "potential" illegality and " lots of evidence of illegality" attack dog Nader D-NY and House Judiciary Chairman admitted on CNN they had no evidence Trump obstructed justice
“Ok, so now you’re not sure he’s obstructed justice?” CNN’s Erin Burnett asked Nadler Monday night.

“Personally I think he has but we have to look and see,” Nadler said.
Nader "thinks" he has. Isn't that like "potential"?

And of course we have the Mueller over 2:confused2: year investigation. No doubt Mueller thinks there is potential illegality and if he just has 5 more years he knows he will find it.

Now this, more potential
The New York Times reported that Aon, one of the largest insurance brokerages in the world, received a subpoena late Monday as part of the probe by the New York State Department of Financial Services.
Once again, there is no indication that the Trump Organization engaged in misconduct, however, the Democrats are going to go on a fishing expedition anyway.

And, of course, as predictable as the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano, Martina is getting reflexively killed by the usual suspects. Because whining, banning and censoring is what they do
Gay rights group Athlete Ally on Tuesday removed the tennis great from its advisory board and stripped her of her Athlete Ally Ambassador title, accusing her of making “transphobic” comments in an op-ed in which she denounced rules that let “men compete as women.”​

Martina forced to apologize
How sad
This stuff is going to lead to the end of many college womens sports programs
There are many schools out there dying for a good legal excuse to shut them down already because of the negative revenues they produce
It's weird to watch since it was the feminists themselves who fought long and hard to turn Title IX into the monster it is today.

Captain Marvel is 84% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Lots of phrases like; "powerful female superhero", "uplifting female messaging", and "visuals of such a powerful female hero are rare enough that its sheer existence makes you giddy" from female critics. Like they did with Black Panther, I think the critics will go easy on it, not because it's a great movie, but because they like the social message it gives.

I'm glad I don't get any self-satisfaction from fictional characters. White. Black. Man. Woman. If the character has superpowers then gender doesn't matter. You can give any gender or race any power IN A MOVIE. It's when we see regular women beating up powerful men who clearly know how to fight that I just laugh. That's the PC stuff.

Lack of clarity, confusion, double-meaning, humor were clearly some of her.his.their goals with that name choice

Here is my take (but I could be wrong) -- there was a very funny/sarcastic/satirical twitter account named Godfrey Elfwick. I used to post some of his stuff here occasional because it was so biting. But he kept getting suspended by Twitter and eventually he was permanently banned and the account taken down. His crime? He made fun of woke leftists and SJWs. His humor was very clever but not enough to avoid liberal censors.

His response? He had to get even more clever. So he created a new twitter persona that is too woke to ban. I think this is who Titania McGrath is. She is Godfrey Elfwick re-invented. It's the same style and wit, just smarter than the last account.

Eventually the Twitter Police will catch up and this account will get shut down too. Liberals simply do not allow themselves to be made fun of anymore. With regard to Titania, they are not yet smart enough to figure out that is what's really happening here. But eventually, someone will tell them and that will be that

And I also think it's obvious the account is written by a (biological) male. That's not intended to be an insult, just the logical conclusion.

The death of Godfrey Elfwick
