Yeah, on some level I like that things are usually just ignored if they're a terrible idea. Sadly now and then you get things like Millar bringing back Hank Pym as a domestic abuser in Ultimates. I worry one day somebody will have the big idea to revisit Avengers #200.

And when those ideas get revisited, they tend to stick too.

I didn’t know about that until The Ultimates. But now it’s a defining characteristic of Pym.

Here’s a fun exercise: take a finger and cover Enchantress from the waist down. Now slowly move your finger to reveal the full body and marvel once again at how hosed up this anatomy is.

That reminds me of a challenge the animators at DC used to do:

Reproduce a Rob Liefeld panel correcting all of the anatomical and perspective errors.

He hasn't been accused of anything by people in Firefly, it might just be he waits until the second season of a show to become a monster.

There's a part of me that wonders Whedon being a dick was a factor in Firefly's bungling. It obviously wouldn't be the only factor. But after almost two decades of "Bring back Firefly" petitions and internet rumor-false starts, Whedon's general shittiness seems like it would be the obvious barrier.

"She had this magic syringe. She would take this drug. And if she were, for instance, raped, the rapist would die a horrible death. The story was that she gets kidnapped by Reavers and when Mal finally got to the ship to save her from the Reavers, he gets on the Reaver ship and all the Reavers are dead. Which would suggest a kind of really bad assault. At the end of the episode, he comes in after she's been horribly brutalized, and he comes in and he gets down on his knee, and he takes her hand. And he treats her like a lady. And that's the kind of stuff that we wanted to do. It was very dark. And this was actually the first story that Joss pitched to me when he asked me to come work on the show. He said, 'These are the kind of stories we're going to do.'"

Before all of this, I forgot how much rape there actually was in Firefly. Like... holy gently caress, Joss.

He and Alan Tudyk reportedly came close to blows on the set at least once and seem to despise each other, if I'm recalling correctly.

From what it sounds like (from this interview at least), they were friendly, but would get frustrated with each other. At least from Joss’s perspective.

Also...

He used to be a little more conservative than he is now. Not anything super extreme to my knowledge, but enough that he put a disclaimer on some of his recent compilations.

In addition to Erica Henderson's own ethnicity. The Editor in Chief of Marvel is a white dude named C.B. Cebulski, who, when he was an editor at a time when Marvel didn't let editors also write for them, ghost wrote under the name Akira Yoshida and claimed to be a born and raised in Japan (obviously these claims were over email, not in person).

Cebulski also was kind of the driving force behind the Marvel Mangaverse. Which could get weird.

Yep.

I think Lee’s version of the story was that he saw it in the concept art. But it’s pretty much accepted that it was when he saw the actual pages.

Since then and considering content of his comics, I'd safely pinpoint his politics as "redfaced dumbass reacting to tv at local pub"

My understanding of Mark Millar's politics is that the bit in Kick rear end where Hit-Girl defines the word "Democrat" is more or less what he actually believes.

I glanced at Twitter today and Comicsgate was trending. Apparently there's been a big YouTube schism between EVS and some other mook, so the snake is currently swallowing its own tail. Maybe again? Not sure, really.

Was it Eric July? Because there was some sort of weird issue between them that sort of spiraled. I’m not 100% what, but it sounds like something super petty that probably could have talked out in normal circumstances.

There are a bunch of folks pissed off July hired the Soska twins though.

They also were big supporters of the Open Secret documentary, which is all about sexual abuse in Hollywood. I don’t know if the producers of that were already QAnon-sympathetic, or if they got pulled into it, but as soon as folks like Posobiec and Cernovich started trying to make it a part of their narrative, they fell right in.

I guess it’s entirely possible they aren’t super CHUDy personally and just support the monstrous pieces of poo poo they do for non-political reasons. I know they supported WWE Superstar Kane for mayor mostly because they got along with him on the set of See No Evil 2. But like… I’m not sure if that’s better.

It is. I was reminded above that Rippaverse founder Eric July is a "libertarian" commentator for Glenn Beck's network and thus gets to be The Good Minority for ComicsGate except EVS doesn't like him anymore?

I’m not still not 100% sure why. Like… they had some sort of a blowup offline that found its way online. Best I can tell, it has to do with July making fun of the International School of Ministry (who were mad about him calling his book “Isom.”), and EVS being offended by that on religious grounds. But that’s just what it seems like from a couple quick Twitter searches. There’s probably a two hour stream that goes into more detail. But I don’t wanna…

He was a big supporter of the SAG-AFTRA strike last year. And has at least hinted he regrets Holy Terror.
