“I’m not even going to talk about this because what’s left to say? But I am going to complain about some dum-dum.
Some dum-dum commented on an article I wrote speculating on the next possible Marvel movies. Actually, two dum-dums. One dum-dum complained that I put Squirrel Girl towards the end of the article, because I guess that’s inequitable. To that person, I would just like to say, “You, madam, are a racist if you think Squirrel Girl should be before Ms. Marvel. I might be unwittingly sexist in including Squirrel Girl after several male characters and Ms. Marvel, Dazzler, She Hulk, Moon Girl, and Black Widow, and also after not including the other female stars who are already slated for movies, but YOU are racist. And also, you’re incorrect in saying that Squirrel Girl is getting a TV show. Squirrel Girl will be on The Defenders, but that’s a far cry from getting her own show. Harrumph.”
Whew! That felt good. You know how sometimes they say you should write a letter and then throw it away and you’ll feel better? I think that’s what I just did, but instead of throwing it in the garbage, I threw it into the continuous garbage stream that is the internet. 6 of one, half-dozen, etc.
The second person I wanted to address was the dum-dum who commented, bothered to click and type, to inform me that Miracleman is not a Marvel character.
Asshole, check the Wikipedia. Miracleman was the subject of a long legal battle, which Marvel eventually bought out. He’s totally a Marvel property, you asshole. ASSHOLE! It just made me so mad. Why comment on something all smarmy and be wrong? That’s a completely crazy thing to do.
I probably shouldn’t get all worked up over this stuff. But damn it, I can’t help it. “
