1. Tony Stark fractures 17 bones in his arm and punctures his left lung trying to protect people, which nearly killed him.

2. While he’s literally lying in a hospital bed, Patsy “Hellcat” Walker derides him as a “white guy with a god complex” who’s never had to look past his own privilege, even though a common stock Iron Man plot is “Tony loses everything and has to start over from scratch”.

And the entire point of his character is that he decided to risk his life to help people.

3. This is incredibly stupid.

It’s the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission! NASA’s “successful failure,”Apollo 13 was to be the third lunar landing attempt, but the mission was aborted mid-flight after the rupture of a service module oxygen tank. The crew never landed on the moon, but due to the dedication and ingenuity of Mission Control, made it back to Earth safely. We’ve put some of the most important numbers of the Apollo 13 mission in perspective. Check it out!

Listen to the mission in real time, HERE.

me when i come across a thorki or starker blog:

honestly dan slott is a child? who signs on to a brand new comic, and one of the first things they say is they can’t wait to piss the fans off? the people who invest theirselves in these stories and pay money for them?

If only Starfire, if only.

Is it just me, or could this indicate that Tamaran had fewer distinct races than Earth does? Considering Kori says Earth has “so many” races, like it’s different where she comes from. I could just be reading too much into this XD

you got me there, friend

tony stark is completely defenseless

and can’t fight for shit without his suit

not only it’s the flashy armor and not the resilient genius behind it the main attribute of Iron Man,

but he’s also completely useless without his armor

and can’t do shit.

❛ AVENGERS ACADEMY presents INTERGALACTIC IRON MAN! Genius billionaire party-boy Tony Stark has made yet another ground-breaking innovation, melding space travel with his trademark Iron Man suits. “I thought it’d be cool,” he says to our interviewers. “Though Peter Quill said something about a megalomaniac alien, but you know - just another Tuesday.” Rumors are that he plans to bring back a robot that ‘bleeps & bloops’ for fellow Avenger, the Wasp. Big claims, but he is Tony Stark.

If you didn’t read the chapter, it starts with a flashback of Riri in elementary school.

What pissed off a lot of fanboys is little Riri asked her teacher to tell her she will never do it. This gives the impression that Riri wants to be oppressed or experience racism in order to succeed. So-again-white people declare her a bad character. While everyone is up at arms and cursing black women for this issue. They forget one thing: Black people aren’t running Invincible Iron-Man. Brian Michael Bendis is as white as most of these haters. So why you’re blaming black people for a white man’s poor writing style is beyond me. 

I had mutuals come to me saying I complain about this too much and I’m taking this too seriously, but it’s difficult to ignore. Comic book writers have a big audience and they use the characters as a platform. And how Marvel is going, their political platform is going downhill. Fanboys say Marvel is “pandering to SJWS” when I don’t see how. Turning Captain America, Magneto, and Scarlett Witch HYDRA nazis is not a leftist move. And other characters are mouthpieces to be a shame of their race, gender, and sexuality and bashing activism (Nick Spencer, I’m looking at you). Fans are angry how classic white characters are erased for women and PoCs to step in; like Tony Stark being in a coma from Civil War 2 and Riri filling in as Iron-Man. But, its STRAIGHT WHITE MEN making these bad decisions. But fanboys still blame women, PoCs, and LGBT folk for how Marvel comics is heading

As for Riri, I still love her. I just think her story is poorly executed by a white man who doesn’t know what it’s like to be black. Social commentary is not his strong point. How Riri asked her teacher to disbelieve her for motivation reminds me of how Bendis had Miles Morales say not to acknowledge his blackness to that fangirl as if being black is a bad thing. Or had Miles get in a debate with Ganke about who’s the most oppressed. In reality, black people would not do this. 

Black people do not compete with other people of color. Black people do not go up to white people asking them to be racist to them. Bendis is only teaching his white readers that racism isn’t real and black people are exaggerating for attention or that we want to be oppressed.
