MLK is dumbed down so much. -_-
You don’t learn shit about what he was really about in schools. And that fucking sucks.

and it feels like me (on a good day): seriously straight people, y'all are the masters of pushing your sexual orientation down peoples' throats.
The. Fucking. Masters.
I mean people DIE when they don’t share your sexual orientation. But you’re mad because some kids on the internet want to see a gay character in a disney movie? THAT’S “shoving it down our throats”?
God I legit cannot get over how sheltered and…

I’m just glad I can help at least a little! And, no, I’ll def be up to Berkeley at least once over the summer, if not more. But I really want people to come rescue me from the boredom that is San Diego! Plus, it seemed like you could benefit from being able to get out of the Bay for a bit & having a sort of vacation.

Same’s true of the Black Widow. Scarlett Johanssen looked great in that outfit, but she seemed to be there only as eye candy. The shot in the middle of the battle where she pulls out a pistol was silly. I don’t know who this Black Widow was, and I don’t think the screenwriter did either. She wasn’t the original comic Black Widow, the Russian femme fatale who seduces Hawkeye into trying to kill Iron Man. She wasn’t the later comic book Black Widow, who dons a costume, comes over to the good guys, and teams with first Hawkeye and then Daredevil. She was just… there.
George R. R. Martin, on reviewing the Avengers. [SOURCE]
Okay, George, I do totally agree with your earlier assessment of Hawkeye. I’ll give you that he didn’t have enough screentime to get proper development. But no. I can’t even let you finish, there will be no finishing of the Kanye West meme here. WERE WE WATCHING THE SAME FILM?
I don’t want to automatically fall back on the “you think she’s just eye candy, because you’re a male” argument, because that’s unfair. Fuck, you write some really damned decent females yourself (all things considered). But honestly? No. No, we were not watching the same film.
“JUST THERE?” Uh, did you not see any of her development at all, or were you just waiting for the men to come in and steal the show? This is the same character who is the only one to get decent information when everyone else is too busy arguing over stupid personal bullshit. This is the same character who has a conversation with Loki and doesn’t lose her cool. This is the same character jumping onto alien warcraft and beating these assholes at their own game. This is the same character saving the motherfucking day by racing off to beat Loki while all the boys are too busy playing house with the alien army.
Don’t tell me she was just there. That she was just eye candy. She was one of the most important motherfucking characters in the entire film, and it saddens me when reviews degrade Johansson’s performance simply because she isn’t one of the guys. And why do all of these reviews seem to come from long time comics fans, 90% of the time all male? You do realize that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a canon into itself and doesn’t actually follow the comics the way you’re claiming it should? That characters were changed and updated to fit with current audiences and currently relevant plots? Laying this all on Black Widow’s origins not adding up right is just plain silly at this point in the MCU game. (A game you don’t seem to be playing well, G.R.R.M.)
Flawless bitch carried that goddamn film. Period.

Anyone who thinks Black Widow was just eye candy in this goddamn film is showing their own issues with women. There is no other way to explain how you come away from this film thinking she was just there. But hey, keep trying to lessen her contributions, because lol, that’s awesome. Or something.
Also, she isn’t and doesn’t have to be the comic version of Black Widow - whom, I see, is entirely defined in your head as being all about the cock. LOL, nah. (via zarabithia)
This. I mean, I can see how some of it could be people paying less attention to BW because her personality is more reserved, but the same goes for Hawkeye (and let’s be real, if anyone was ‘just there’ in this movie, it’s probably him since for like 80% of it he wasn’t even himself). But that makes sense, both because some people just have more reserved personalities and especially now that we know that there’s an upcoming Black Widow movie that will probably deal with her origins story.
Tbh, though I thought Scarlette Johanssen’s performance could have been a bit stronger, I think that she & the script did a pretty good job in establishing Black Widow as a character in her own right, which is pretty amazing considering how many big personalities had to shine in this film AND that they didn’t want to spoil her upcoming movie by giving away too much about her origins.
SO, GRRM, STAY PRESSED.
