Ffffff this is such a dumb fucking criticism. We love a clear example of the misogyny of the mid 00s. Who the fuck said scientists can't be pretty??
Sweaty straight men who bemoan that geeky/smart girls won't date them because they are geeks and not because they are d-bags.
nn I'm with you on all this though the 'they're a model!' thing is because Stan Lee gave that job to basically every female character he invented in the 1960s. Sue Storm, Mary Jane Watson, Jean Grey (this may have been another 60s writer after Stan left but the point stands) and others were all models because...pretty girls do that I guess. And we must inform the readers that these are pretty girls. (The history of models and female characters' jobs in Marvel Comics is actually pretty interesting, given how prominent Romance and other styles of comic that weren't superhero were in the 20th century before the latter really became the ONE. That's a whole different topic though!) Many/most adaptations of the the F4 origin story now have given Sue more agency in the form of being a scientist or in some kind of research that makes her inclusion in the space flight make more sense.
Yeah, I think it's Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Yelena, Ghost and Taskmaster together makes for a solid team.
Laughing at Florence Pugh sending in a video for the D23 panel from where she's currently shooting Dune 2. The Marvel panel is not immune from being roped into the DWD drama. The Werewolf by Night special looks like a ton of fun, Secret Invasion is finally bringing Fury (with bonus Olivia Colman) fully back into the MCU fold and he's been an anchor I feel the universe has been missing for a long time now. Thunderbolts and the new Captain America movie are probably what I'm most excited for outside of the new Ant-Man and a Shang-Chi sequel.
