Ok fine. I’m back from my blogging hiatus because I know that everyone is dying to hear my thoughts about this whole thing, so here goes:<\/p>\n
WTF?<\/p>\n
Yeah, that was just about the dumbest thing I\u2019ve ever heard in my life from a group of actors promoting a movie.<\/p>\n
Again now, and with emphasis:<\/p>\n
WTF?!?!?!<\/i><\/p>\n
That whole exchange was deeply unsmart.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure of who Evans and Renner were trying to appeal to here but it definitely wasn\u2019t men. <\/p>\n
I actually took a measure of personal offense at what they said. Don\u2019t these two realize that 95% of Black Widow\u2019s fanbase is male? <\/p>\n
I have a stack of Black Widow comics in my closet about six inches high. Her Daredevil<\/i> arcs are probably my favorite comics of all time. <\/p>\n
That being the case, it doesn\u2019t sit well with me to hear her described as a \u201cslut\u201d and a \u201cwhore\u201d by people in the Avengers<\/i> movie. No, that doesn\u2019t sit well with me at all. And I\u2019m thinking that the rest of her fanbase is likely feeling the same thing right now. I mean, what does that say about us, for us to be so foolish as to like a character who is so obviously unrespectable?<\/p>\n
Look, she\u2019s just a comic book character, she isn\u2019t real, but this still isn\u2019t cool to hear.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m getting flashbacks now of Halle Berry\u2019s deeply stupid comments about Storm back in the day.<\/p>\n
Guys, I thought we were over this stuff. Comic book characters should be treated with as much respect as characters from novels, plays or original screenplays.<\/p>\n
You have to respect the source material.<\/i><\/p>\n
