Are they really losing anything? The trans people you're referring to never had much stake in a lot of the overreaching stuff that internet-catgirl-type trans make a huge deal out of. 

Trans people are not new, but somehow playing in women's sports or redefining the scientific concept of sex were never high priority items for them (along with most of the rest of it).

I imagine still sucks for them that a decade of unprecedented acceptance is going to end because some dudes that think that being trans is a fashion/religious lifestyle that gives you a free pass on the internet. 

But then again, they should be pissed at LGB allies that enabled this behavior against everyone better judgement.

Heh, I was joking that Benji would ban Jensen and didn't realize that the same ban reason could easily be applied to Fat4All's career as a bsky thought leader.

It's extra funny because for months he has been screaming fake news at any rumor that the movie had a very troubled production

The "break glass" moment was replacing Kang with Doom, which was due to things both in their control (the response to Quantumania) and out of their control (Majors' legal issues).

Like, who the fuck cares what the CHUDS think? Is not going to be the first black (or white) actor that participates in a slop.
Before we get started, let me be clear in saying that anyone suggesting that Captain America not actually being Captain America is a problem can develop an evil disease and suffer a painful death. But yes, the movie has problems.

hmm
New Captain America film is reviewing well, must be the racist chuds, can’t possibly just be a shit film.
Does Rychu get paid per topic?? He's cranking them out like crazy. Trump can't fart without it getting a thread.
The big gap that no one brings up is that someone can turn in a good performance. and still be part of the reason the project didn't resonate.

To use an Era-friendly example: Jonathan Majors is by all accounts a great actor. I expect they would be put off by any movie where he is in the lead role.

To use a less-inflammatory example: casting Michael Cera as Captain America also probably wouldn't work, and that dude is a great actor.

To be fair, it probably is less Mackie and just that the character just isn't all that appealing. Like let's be honest, comic book characters already don't tend to have the deepest personalities and then Falcon doesn't even have an interesting background or origin story. It's just a dude with wings, and he's captain america now.

I posted it a little bit before you, but I think ultimately "Mackie is a great actor!" ignores all the outside aspects, which can still make make Mackie (or MCU's Sam Wilson if you wanna get technical) a hard transition to swallow, regardless of his chops.

None of the other Avengers are getting replaced with the definition of "some guy". There was no proper passing of the torch outside of some crap tier Disney show you need a subscription to watch. Making Don Cheadle the new Iron Man would've gotten a similar reception.

I think there is a valid racial argument to be made here about the pitfalls of constantly making the designated second-string dude a <insert minority> guy so often, but anyone intelligent enough to engage on that level probably smart enough to avoid wasting thought and energy on stupid Marvel movies. 

But I think it also is worth noting that everyone shrugged when Shuri became the new Black Panther, and there's no real racial aspect there to latch onto.

EDIT: I just remembered that one of the big scenes in the Captain America show was meme'd on for a long time for being so silly and stupid. Sam Wilson giving some speech to politicians to be more gooder was the writing on the wall.
I'm starting to think giving directing duties to the guy behind the Cloverfield Paradox might have been a mistake

I liked Mackie in the one episode of Twisted Metal i watched. What people are overlooking is he looks like a manlet and is why he's not convincing as a superhero.

Well, there was a time when they give them a pretty Mike backstory. Those ones that Slayven will make a thread about it. Dunno if is canon or not.

Narcan is not essential unless you are on opioids. No offense to you because I know you need them because you health problems. I was thinking in commies like Hachikoma when I wrote that.
