She's a mom. You can't use moms on the Internet to gauge whether something has spread yet. They're still posting ice bucket videos.

It's possibly true.

Fox doesn't have the F4 rights, a company called Constantin Film does.

Yes, they gave Fox an exclusive deal to use them.

Apparently that's how badly Marvel needed cash back then. They sold the rights to some West German production company seemingly best known for distributing The Neverending Story in West Germany for about $250k.


Edit: Actually the time frame doesn't add up to when Marvel was desperate. They just sold the movie rights to a nobody studio for nothing because....?

At this point the subtext is so prominent and obvious (depending on the writer of course) that it's almost disingenuous to call it subtextual. I don't know why no one has just come out, as it were, and made it a formal, textual thing. I mean, come on.

Yea, it seems odd, and its not like there are other big Magik fans it might upset.

Now people are mad at Chris Evans for not doing his research and inadvertently supporting racist behavior.

Because it's Chris' fault that he, like the millions of folks that shared this and made him aware of it, took it on good faith that this moment of a child crying wasn't a white supremacist scam. Because that's a thing we need to worry about now.

He can't invite the kid because then the message becomes "act like a racist twat and get rewarded by white celebraty". What about the kid that got called racial slurs? Why should he get to see his tormenter be rewarded for being a racist? He should just back out. Kids getting lots of attention from alt right assholes anyways (think I

He can still bring the kid to the premier and tell the mother to just stay at her hotel.

I think he should just rescind the invitation. Having such a cool treat that most people never get to experience taken away almost immediately is punishment enough for being a racist poo poo.

I agree.

Although I'd be cool if they posted a video of Cap lecturing the kid (and his mom) and include the other child that Keaton hurled racial slurs at.

Noooo, season 4 is like really bad. Just leave with the happy memories of Jack Flowers kicking people in the nuts.

Uncle rucus gets way too much focus and they just use him for slurs, and Grandad is more of the focus than Huey and Riley . Huey is mostly in the background in Season 4. It' sucks.

Yeah, the McGruder-less season of The Boondocks loving sucked.

Also Hugh Jackman has weighed in on the Disney/Fox thing and has said that while it would have been fun he made his choice and will stay out.
