Marvel never showing off Rhodey’s rocket science skill, taking away Sam’s superhuman powers, white washing Wanda and Pietro, making homecoming about peter instead of miles replacing Ganke with Ned, luring black people into watching Infinity war for T'Challa and Wakandans then killing most of them on screen, making Monica Rambeau a literal child when Carol becomes Captain Marvel is the kind of racism in media you could play as unintentional when you look at them seperately but really becomes a disguisting pile of shit when you piece all the instances together.
And giving BP an award won’t make me forget any of this.
Like y'all literally killed him a moment later and the Russos even admited that T'Challa was plan B in case they wouldn’t get spiderman but then got to entangled in the story to write him out again.
I think one of the things that makes the Punisher Netflix series so good, apart from great writing, an awesome soundtrack and great action, is all the emotional depth and intimacy balancing the violence and darkness
Frank Castle is a killer but he also spends his time helping raise somebody else’s kids because they can’t, he calls all these men from his unit family, he doesn’t hesitate to hug and hold and press his forehead against forehead and relay care and protection through physical contact – not just with women and children but with other adult men – because for all that his character and this entire show is full of blood and gore and death, Frank doesn’t push people away or treat them like shit unless it’s literally the only way to keep them alive; otherwise he’s sweet and kind to the people he trusts.
The reason he’s such a compelling person is because he acts like a person, and not some nihilistic dark murder fantasy of your average angry dudebro. A person who’s violent, but still cares, whose entire motivation stems from love that he’s still pouring onto others even after all he’s lost.
