Corporate villainy! Creative tyranny! Dangerous foes and tough allies! #PMPick 'MCU: THE REIGN OF MARVEL STUDIOS' blasts the superhero movie universe with the studio’s massive, messy history. – @MCurleyfries
Available October 10th from @LiverightPub.
Wrote a review of the excellent ‘MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios’ by @jowrotethis, @Da7e and @mrgavinedwards.
This book could not be more “for me” if it tried.
Check out the review and the book of you’re interested in Marvel, Hollywood, or general film history. A real treat!
So go ahead and protest, it’s you’re right.
But you’re just outing yourselves at hateful bigots who want members of the LGBTQ2A+ community to go away back into the closet.
Look inward.

High school teacher here:
All I have seen in schools since I was a student is a greater acceptance of kids for *who they already are*
I have also seen less acceptance of bullying and intolerance
It’s not perfect, but it’s moving in the right direction

Mostly they don’t want their traditional punching bags shown decency and respect.
In the process, they are terrorizing members of their own families and communities who belong to those groups. They’re attacking those groups and the kids in those groups.

It’s very telling that the Ford Government cared SO much about kids when it was their excuse for revoking CUPE’s labour rights, but is dead silent and inactive when kids are suffering from overflowing children’s hospitals.
Any solutions @fordnation?

My students requested a week off for mourning.
I didn’t realize how deeply they felt about Queen Elizabeth. I guess I should prioritize their mental health.

My latest #Marvel article for @PopMatters
This time, I reckon with the racist comic book origins of #ShangChi, the ways the film wanted credit for representation while simply repackaging old Asian cliches, and how much I love the film despite all that.

Asian Representation in @shangchi
Marvel Studios' SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF TEN RINGS tries to recontextualize its stereotypical origins into a highly-entertaining film. Does it succeed? ✍️ @MCurleyfries

.@MarvelStudios' #WhatIf on @disneyplus is an intriguing animated and narrative exercise in the MCU, but why isn’t it as exciting as we anticipated? ✍️ @MCurleyfries

I wrote about season one of Marvel Studios’ What If…? For @PopMatters
I appreciated something different in the MCU, but it ultimately fell short of its promise. Fingers crossed for an improvement in season two, but read this in the meantime! #DisneyPlus
