mouser26:

Nearly two weeks of Work but this is the final product good as it’s gonna get.

A House of M Family portrait as I see it.

A re-work of this panel from House of M

Frankly the only person in the orginal picture that doesn’t look totally off is Lorna so yeah I redid it more to my liking. Most all are based on their Earth-616 selves.

Heyoo, Cute post pairing the Maximoffs. Just wanted to let you know that the little girl in Days of Future Past (according to a recent interview with Bryan Singer) was NOT Scarlett Witch. She was likely Polaris.

wakandaentertainment:

Actually is not polaris (i will explain that in a minute) I know that the girl is not scarlet witch but well I didn’t find a image of “young” twins (and I guess you understand the idea of the image) now the girl is not polaris because that just don’t have sense polaris is just the daughter of magneto she didn’t have relation with the mother of the twins so she did not should be there also I hear that in the new blu-ray from x men they show something that make us understand that “this girl” is like other sister from the maximoff but is like a stepsister of the twins but she is daughter of the mom not from magneto (I’m not 100% sure of this (maybe I’m wrong))
Well thanks for your  commentary

NOTE: I’m sorry if i have mistakes in the text, I originally talk in spanish so I have my mistakes hahaha be patient

We don’t know any which way whether that little girl is Polaris or a different character.

What we know is that she’s not Scarlet Witch. Beyond that, Fox can change absolutely anything they want. Polaris could be their full sister by both parents if they want it to be that way, just like they made Pietro into Peter, living in an average American home rather than with a Romani family (which I agree is horrible on Fox and Singer’s part).

I’m hoping the little girl is Polaris, or at the very least that Polaris remains their sister and appears in X-Men: Apocalypse. Ideally, I’d want the entire Magnus family together and interacting in a film or show, but we’ll see if it happens.

People need to remember that feminism isn’t the absence of femininity.

peppermonster:

It isn’t the outright rejection of gendered roles. There is a reason those roles exist. They shouldn’t be enforced but they shouldn’t be rejected either. A woman can be strong and a romantic. She can be a genius tactician, and still fall in love stupidly. She can be combat trained and still wear dresses. People who say The Black Widow’s character and agency is undermined by a romantic subplot are not allowing for women to embrace femininity (also every one of her male counterparts has romantic subplots so….it’s cute for them but problematic for her?) You are supporting the misconception that feminine is weak. I didn’t like the romance either, but for my personal reason of just not digging romance. Is there an underlying problem of the entertainment industry boiling women down into love interests and plot devices for man pain? Yes. But to make the whole conversation into “Nat is a strong independent woman who needs no man (unless it’s Clint, Steve, or Bucky)” are dictating what is or isn’t acceptable “feminist” ideals and behaviors and missing the POINT of feminism in that is gives women the right to be whatever kind of woman they want.

I think what may be happening, there, is a lot of people blaming another, broad problem on some specific story option they’re mistakenly perceiving as always bad in every context.

Some articles, like this one, are saying things that I think most people are missing. The problem isn’t Black Widow getting in a romantic subplot, but that 1) the film has an incredibly high number of men next to virtually no women, and 2) Disney and Marvel appear to hold the character (and women in general in the MCU) in very low esteem compared to the men.

I think the article I linked explains it better than I could. The only detail I’ll add is that a lot of what’s happening is Disney’s fault. They subscribe to the idiotic idea that there can be “gendered markets,” and that since they “have the girl market cornered” with the Disney princesses, Marvel has to focus almost exclusively on the “boy market.”

More Whedon/Avengers Thoughts

The issues surrounding Joss Whedon leaving Twitter and the threats and harassment he received that led to him leaving Twitter continue.

I’m seeing stuff like this on my feed; click this link for a bigger view if needed.

I think what bugs me most here are the people with Scarlet Witch avatars, both MCU and comics Wanda, participating in the harassment.

There may be problems with the way a creator, editor, executive, etc does something, or decisions they make. I still don’t believe problems in the Avengers films are Whedon’s fault, but if others believe it’s his fault, it’s fair to complain and criticize and demand positive change. I’d say it’s even fair to say very negative, possibly insulting things in general forums and discussion.

It’s another story when you’re sending direct messages to a person telling them they’re trash, or that they’re human scum, or that they ruined your life. You’re no longer criticizing or just airing grievances. At that point, you’re sending targeted harassment and trying to make a person feel bad.

I’m not a Scarlet Witch fan right now; I’m a Polaris fan that loves the idea of Lorna and Wanda spending time together as sisters, one that had hoped Marvel would turn me into a Wanda fan by exposing me to Wanda’s good qualities through Lorna. I didn’t see Age of Ultron, either. I don’t have any right to say if most of the complaints are justified or not.

But as a Polaris fan, I know I wouldn’t want to see other fans sending targeted harassment like the examples above at anyone no matter how shitty they treated her. This is why I and other Lorna fans on ComicBookResources (CBR) 3 years ago stopped discussing comments made by one of Marvel’s editors in the Polaris thread. Some people were directly harassing that editor over his responses to questions and comments about Lorna.

Make no mistake: I’m NOT saying to be gentle and defang criticism if you have it. I’ve made no secret that I consider Motomu Toriyama at Square-Enix to be a sexist hack that’s ruined many great franchises. I’m someone that left CBR when their admin threatened to ban me just for saying the higher-ups at Disney and Marvel IN GENERAL, not even naming names, are being greedy and selfish.

If your complaints are justified, you do not need to mob Joss Whedon or any other person with targeted harassment like this. All you need to do is spread word about why it’s wrong, not give the company money until they get their shit together, and urge others to follow your lead.

You don’t even have to boycott everything a company does. Don’t like what they did to your favorite character in Age of Ultron, but love the new female Thor? Then keep reading female Thor, which shows you support that direction, but refuse to see Age of Ultron, which shows you have a serious problem with what they did there. If it’s serious enough to you, you can boycott more; I’m refusing to touch anything Marvel right now unless it features Polaris, with possible exceptions to other X-Men comics, because of what they did to the Magnus family in the comics. It’s not all or nothing. You have options.

Marvel also likes to denigrate fan reaction to complaints, but don’t be fooled; they know the power fans have and they’re afraid. But there’s a “good” fear and a “bad” fear. You want the “good” fear, where they’re losing money and public perception of them is taking a serious hit until they shape up. You do NOT want “bad” fear, where you look like a bully trying to terrorize people until you get your way.

The latter is dangerous. It’s especially dangerous today, because people opposed to positive change, positive depictions use those latter cases as ammunition for the idea that culture should regress. Look at GamerGate.

I will probably have more to say in the future. This is all I have to say at the moment.
