In 2021 I made a MMA Card set.
At the same time everybody was Bashing on Gina because she Dared Insult Disney.
I went the Other way and Restated my affection for Ms. Carano.
NOW she’s back on Netflix fighting again.
500 of these cards exist.
For True Fans Only
And on the off chance Gina sees this…
That look is you catching me,
catching you talking to Andre.
It was fun

Haha don't worry. Glory and the Master are my two favourite Big Bads (I don't really count Angelus and Spike as they are both recurring characters, same with Faith.) As far as seasonal antagonists go they are the best.
Both are the closest thing Buffy has to an archenemy. The Master is a vampire, Buffy's natural enemy, old and patriarchal where she is young and empowered, dependent on tradition whilst she is a free wheeler.
Glory meanwhile is the perfect dark mirror to Buffy. Just as Buffy is the reversal of the little blonde girl getting killed by being a hero, Glory is reversing it so she is the monster, and THE worst monster of them all.
Both also scared Buffy more than any other foe. Both literally made her flee, toyed with her in a fight and killed her!
Both also had more world building and an interesting backstory behind them, with the Master introducing the Old Ones, Glory having the backstory with her hell dimension.
Both also I think were influential on popular culture. The Master began a trend of vampire supremacist characters who are monstrous and want to claim the world, like Damaskinos in Blade 2, whilst Glory helped push the wave of femdom female villains.
They are the peak of Buffy villains for me.
Haha, I LOVE Glory obviously, but I am not overly keen on Spuffy, I disliked the Joyce arc because it was too depressing and took the show away from fantasy and into soap opera, and I think the love triangle with Spike, Buffy and Riley is one of the worst arcs in the show. It looks like it was written by Stefan Molyneux. Glory is one of the best villains they ever had, and she really elevates s5 into being a still very solid and great season in spite of those faults.
However s1 has the Master who I like just as much (in different ways.) And is focuses more on the fantasy elements and feels more fresh and creative.
Like I said it's just typical of what happens to women who talk about politics. They get 10000 times the backlash men do from Gina Carano to Brie Larson. I'm not saying that women have it worse completely in society.
I think that elitists use old fashioned ideas, and gender tribalism to justify exploitation, keep working class women and men in line and pit them against each other for their own ends. (Again difference between rich people, like entertainers, people who own businesses like resturants, casinos, studios etc who can be fine, and the POLITICAL elites who drag us into wars and fleece us in every way they can like poor working conditions, minimum wage etc.)
As a result there are many double standards against both sexes in different areas of life, and I call them all out. I feel trying to make it all fit a patriarchy is wrong as it means you're always trying to make women the hard done to ones and obviously that isn't always the case. Same in reverse for some of the anti feminists who argue women have no accountability.
However yes in this case I believe the elites revive this old double standard of women not being allowed to talk about the big issues and the underlying anger people have when they do step out of turn to crush some women they don't like, though when they keep reinforcing that attitude, it can end up manifesting against women in general.
You only have to look at Bryan Ferry's controversy with Nazis and compare it to how long the insanity of the Gina Carano backlash has gone on to see.
Bryan Ferry said in 2007 that the Nazis had awesome clothes. An ACTUALLY offensive remark, that people took the piss out of. However within a few weeks people moved on whilst Gina's post still provokes anger from the tits above in this thread FIVE YEARS on.
Five years on from 2007 was 2012. I remember that year Bryan Ferry did a tribute to Amy Winehouse and us Amy fans loved it. Imagine if back then some prick had said "no five years ago Bryan Ferry made that stupid remark, so it's an insult to Amy, a bisexual Jewish woman, to have this Nazi bastard do a tribute to her."
People would have told whoever said that to fuck off and get over it, yet these Gina haters STILL get upset over something that wasn't even offensive 5 years on? It's mad.
You're clearly a shit lib who is back peddling over Disney after I pointed out your hypocrisy. No normal person who's not part of that little clique has any issue with what Gina said, hence why the majority wanted her to stay and why the reasons they fired her didn't hold up in court.
Yes it was taken out of context. It's actually one of the most underhanded, weasly attempts to twist someone's words and make them look worse, and you know that, but you're too stubborn or bitter, or stupid or all of the above to admit it.
@The_Silent_Man It was wrinkle in time. Again I didn't care about it at the time very much and moved on unlike her critics, but it was a silly thing to say. Movies should be for everyone.
It makes me sad that my favourite ladies are more Superman girls than Batman girls haha. Amy Winehouse was actually a huge DC/comic book fan, but her favourite appears to have been Superman. Meanwhile Gina Carano dated a former Superman, Henry Cavil.
I mean I like Superman don't get me wrong, but Batman is my favourite. Only one of my favourite ladies, Lady Gaga was in a Batman related thing, but the less said about Joker 2, the better.
I'd wager if you asked Gaga, she'd probably deny that she was ever in it LOL.
Maybe Gina Carano's husband can play Batman in something to even the score haha. (Or if someone casts one of my other favourite actresses in a Batman thing, for the love of god make the don't make the same mistakes Joker 2 did. Shouldn't be too difficult, just don't make it a crappy musical full of misery porn with the lead character being gang raped.)
@ElizaH64344 It is fucking insane isn't it to think that 60 years have passed since anybody last watched these properly. Such a shame for such a masterpiece of a story.
Well it was more writing critics of her movie off as angry middle aged white men and saying their opinion is irrelevant. Again not anything I'd end her career over LOL or even have remembered if people didn't keep bringing it up, but it did warrant a bit of "don't be stupid" back then, not ten years on.
She didn't post ANY anti trans rhetoric. There was ONE remark taken out of context. Meanwhile if Disney and your good self care so much about LGBT people care to explain to me why Saudi Arabia have 5 million in shares in Disney and why Disney are building a theme park in a country that criminalizes homosexuality?
I don't know it's almost like Kathleen Kennedy took a petty dislike to her and whipped up a lot of false bullshit that LITERALLY didn't hold up in court and you and other Gina haters know you reacted like idiots, so you are trying to save face by doubling down? Or are still bitter she wouldn't be part of your little clique.
