Emma Frost Is That Bitch

Everytime someone in the new spiderverse says “you’re like me” in that soft, disbelieving yet relieved voice my little queer heart squeezes. That probably resonates with a lot of different minority groups, but yeah everytime I hear it I get a little soft inside bc I know how that phrase feels

I wish y’all ignorant, broken-back bitches would stop trying to dismiss the importance of Aquaman for the brown/Polynesian community just so y’all can prop up films starring other heroes of color (e.g. Spider-verse and Black Panther), because at the end of the day, all of these movies are equally important and very much needed, especially for the comic book movie genre, which has been dominated by white heroes for decades. Y’all clowned Aquaman when the SDCC trailer dropped, constantly comparing it to BP. Y’all clowned Jason Momoa for taking pride in his heritage at the LA premiere, referring to his haka performance as a copy-paste version of Wakandan traditions (which…I’m not gonna get into that today). Now y’all are hell bent over trying to attack Aquaman because Spider-verse isn’t as financially successful as it is (some countries don’t even have it yet, whereas Aquaman has been out in China and other foreign markets for 1-2 weeks, mind you). If you guys actually cared about diversity, you would be thankful that Aquaman, starring a Polynesian man and directed by an Asian director, is getting the recognition and success that it’s getting while urging people to watch Spider-verse at the same time. I want more people to watch Spider-verse because it truly is a beautiful film. Aquaman is, too. You should want comic book movies starring heroes of color to succeed, no matter what franchise it’s from, and you should be ashamed of yourselves for your disgusting ass behavior.

I’m convinced in 30 years Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson will basically be Mr Incredible and Frozone

Into The Spiderverse is proof that live-action superhero movies will never look better than what animation can deliver. Imagine what we could have if animation weren’t so regularly seen as a lower art form than live acting. Honestly, on every aesthetic level Into The Spiderverse was absolutely phenomenal. Art direction, animation, music - all of it.
