The concept of America Chavez, the only character capable of traveling the Multiverse, being completely absent from Avengers Doomsday, a movie about traveling to different universes to stop incursions, is so batshit insane. Marvel isn't even trying anymore 😭

Viola Davis reveals Juilliard trained her by putting a pencil in her mouth to check her tongue position

"And so when it gets like that and you leave yourself and your soul behind, you're not an artist"
"And can I just say, on top of that, it's Eurocentric training. So when you're studying all of those classics, there's a clear idea of what all of those characters look like. And that's not me"
"So then what am I supposed to do with my Blackness? What am I supposed to do with my deep voice and my wide nose?"
