  • The joke would have worked better with Black Window instead of WW. Disney held off on any black or woman-led films for years (BW debuted in the third MCU film) because one executive (who’s name I don’t recall) refused to green light any project without a white male lead. It took over a decade for a BW movie and nearly as long for Black Panther.



  • Rainbow capitalism at its finest. My girlfriend showed me a clip from an interview with the writers behind The Acolyte saying it’ll be the gayest star wars ever. The shows not over yet so they might be right but so far they had a lesbian couple and couldn’t manage so much as a peck.

    It’s not critical to the plot or anything but it demonstrates that there’s some really simple lines Disney still won’t cross when it comes to LGBT representation.

    Not defending the policy (it’s indefensible) but as per that article there was a single case 20 years ago of a rejection because of Autism which was overturned. So I don’t think it’s fair to say Australia doesn’t allow people with Autism diagnoses to immigrate.
