The Colorado Springs offices of the NAACP were attacked Tuesday morning in what’s almost certainly an attempt to inflict fear and terror upon black Americans and those who support them.
According to reports, an improvised explosive device was detonated on the side of the NAACP’s building, and the FBI confirmed that it was a deliberate attack. Officials are seeking a “person of interest,” described as a balding, white male in his 40s driving an older-model pick-up truck. A container of gasoline was left near the bomb, apparently with the intent to cause an even bigger explosion, but that part of the plot failed. The result was minor damage and no casualties.
In the current context of national protests about police brutality and racial justice, the effect of such an attack can’t be understated. But only after #NAACPBombing became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter did the incident start to become a national news story late Tuesday night.
New Final Fantasy screenshots show the male protagonist in revealing, skin-tight armor; male gamers freak out.
looks pretty cool tbh
I care about what the guy is wearing about as much as any other character, which is… not at all. A guy wearing skimpy clothes isn’t a turn-on for me personally, but if I can take and like it done with female characters, then there’s no reason it can’t be done with men too.
The NYPD again turn their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio during an officer’s funeral in an excellent example of their hypocrisy and disregard for the lives (and deaths) of people of color.
The idea for the time being right now is that Rogue and Scarlet Witch have earned a sisterhood and they’ve earned each other’s trust; they’re the lynch pins of the Unity Squad at this point. They’ve come through it all and learned the most. Their friendship was one of the main points of the first story, and they’re co-leaders when we open.
This wasn’t like Rogue or Scarlet Witch put together the perfect team. This is more like they’re going to war with who they could get at that moment. It adds an X-factor to the whole thing because they were called together because they were available.
When the series begins, you have Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch on a frantic search to learn the truth about their past and where this great lie came from.
To me, the most fun aspect of this story is Counter-Earth. When Tom hit on that, it all fell together. It’s one of the coolest and most exciting concepts in the Marvel Universe that has been underused for a long time. Having this group of Avengers journey to the new Counter-Earth, and the reveal of what the new Counter-Earth is and the villain behind it all and what he’s up to contextually connects to Wanda and Pietro.
The parentage reveal from the pages of “AXIS” will play a role in “Uncanny Avengers.” “It’s our entre into the story,” said Brevoort. “Even by the time we’re done with the story, I don’t know if every question every reader has is going to be answered. There’s plenty of story road for us to go down. We’re at the beginning of that journey. As with Sabretooth, this has people a little bit rattled up, but that’s good because that means they want to see what sort of horrible abomination thing we’re going to do in our book — that won’t be as horrible as what they are imagining.”
[Wanda and Vision] had a family together, they were married and together a long time. The attraction Scarlet Witch felt to Vision was because he was the purest version of Simon Williams, who she was really in love with. We revealed that she’s still very fond of Simon and they are very close, and now he’s trapped in Rogue’s head. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it’s complete animosity. Vision’s going to do what he has to do to protect her, but he’s vocally the most mistrusting of Wanda and her mental state.
How will Simon Williams being in Rogue’s head affect her friendship with Scarlet Witch? "The full examination of all of this will not transpire in this first arc.“
It’s clear that [Magneto is] going to be involved at some point. I don’t know if I want to say anything more than that. These revelations strike close to him.
it’s like all this shit i hate about marvel put in one place
vision apparently being a pure form of simon williams yeah okay you keep telling yourself a robot made from corpses is “Pure” necrophiliac fucks
magneto not being the parents of pietro and wanda and thus a retread of the “WHO ARE OUR PARENTS” story not exactly compelling reading plus I need to state again that this is erasure of Jewish Romani characters for the sake of a fucking Disney movie, you think we give a shit about your mayo movies now marvel? now that you fucked over some of our favorite heroes by whitewashing them?
AND VISION JUST FUCK THAT RACIST SENTINEL FUCK FUCK FUCK HIM
so many other characters get erased but this racist fuckwad is still around and makes it into the movies WHY!? why the fuck is Vision still a character why does he still exist it’s 2015 there shouldn’t abe a character that was once used as an allegory for POC still around.
In short Marvel can go fuck themselves because they hate POC.
This whole comic looks gross. Sounds gross. Will most likely be very gross.
Why men shouldn’t be allowed to write comics. Just no. Women should write comics with a token dude now and again to make it seem like it’s inclusive.
Remember, Vision is also supposed to be a good allegory for real world races! This is exactly how black people talk and act at the idea of going on a date! /sarcasm
A seer shows Scarlet Witch’s ancestor her bloodline’s future.
Awkward that Magneto is listed as part of the “bloodline” in the past when projecting the future, and how suddenly he was never part of their bloodline. Hmmmm. Sounds to me like a continuity issue with this retcon. I’m sure Rick Remender and Tom Brevoort have a great way of explaining this. I’m sure it’s just fool proof. ~sarcasm~
[pre-gifs] “…So, she [Paris Hilton] was a very wealthy woman, [initially] not that well known and then she gets to mega-stardom. How? The sex tape. Which was made by her boyfriend at the time, who was married, and thirteen years her senior. She sued to try and stop it [the tape’s circulation] and she couldn’t and it became the best selling sex tape for two years on the porn market.”
I think everyone should watch this video. It’s so real and the heart wrenching truth…
I would like to formally apologize to every woman i ever talked badly about without ever considering what you went through as a human being. I am so very very sorry.
Can you imagine if white people lived in a world like this?
No wonder black people are constantly offended
Really puts some perspective on things huh.
Now imagine if every movie was like this. and the only white people you saw were in the background.
maybe.
And imagine that 80% of kids shows were like this too. So, your little white child grew up only idolizing black people and black characters.
Imagine what your child would think of white people. Imagine what they would think of themselves?
Starting to feel horrified yet?
Diversity is so important like, holy shit.
I just want to mention real fast that for the Green Lantern one, John Stewart could easily be used. The Justice League cartoon used John Stewart, a deviation from how the Superman animated series introduced Hal Jordan, and John Stewart was awesome.
