It’ll be his sister, most likely. She’s had runs as Black Panther in the comics.

As I have seen my kids go through HS and interacted with a bunch more through sports, there are plenty of parents who do not attend events, out necessity or choice....busy people I guess, but more and more common.

Which is not to say there are not plenty who are visible and always around...just not universal.

Yeah, like my parents.

Never went to a single event. Didn't care enough to do so.

Their loss..

I used to be embarrassed my dad would come to track meets.. his voice was 10x louder than anyone else ( he had been a DI in the army). But when I had my own guys I realized he went to support me.. So he meant well anyway.. my embarrassment was my problem , not his..

Didn't the actress playing her link to or retweet some sort of transphobic/anti-vax/racist video a few months ago?

Anti-vax, but she walked back enough for Disney not to care.

Yup. Carano got warned in the past too about her tweets but kept doubling down on being a dirt bag, which is why she is gone. Although she probably could have just apologized and it would have blown over.

Given that she pretty immediately announced she was going to start making movies with Ben Shapiro, a well known piece of shit, my guess is she got herself fired on purpose so they could push her as a martyr.

Also, I can't imagine how bad her future movies are going to be. She's a pretty crap actress to begin with and my impression is that she got most of her roles because there aren't a lot of actresses in Hollywood who are both physically intimidating and attractive. Plus she has the MMA background to provide her with some legitimacy playing "tough" characters. You can hide her on a show like The Mandalorian in a smaller role where she's playing off a great actor like Pascal, but she absolutely bombed in that Haywire movie when she was the star.

This is nothing new. Companies always care about their employees saying or doing things that make the company look bad via association.

The main thing that changed is that social media has made it a lot easier to get caught saying stupid shit.

Obviously.

That isn't my point though.
 
Wandavision far outperformed my expectations going in, even if it may have fizzled out a bit at towards the end. But the show was always in place to setup the rest of the timeline going forward, so it's easy to look past an average finale.

From my perspective, Bettany and Olson may have hyped up too much. Bettany teased a cameo of an actor he always wanted to work with, which set the internet abuzz speculating who that may have been. And Olson teased a scene that would rival the a certain moment in the finale of Mandalorian Season 2. Bettany was trolling and I think Olson's words were taken out of context a bit, but regardless, I think they helped set expectations maybe a bit too high.

One of the most fun things about these week-to-week shows are the speculation, fan theories, online discussion, etc. But they have pitfalls of their own. I remember reading dozens of awesome GoT fan theories before the final season that somehow made the final season even more disappointing. And people nailed Agatha from about the first episode, which took away from that reveal a bit.

I'm not overly excited for Falcon and The Winter Solider, but I think Marvel has earned the benefit of the doubt in the material that they release. More than anything I'm just excited for a new weekly show and additional Marvel content. COVID has taken away that every few months new content that we got used to in previous years.

I personally have no issue with people being held responsible for their actions. Whether you make a brand-damaging Tweet online, or spit in someone's burger, employers have standards in this country. Their profits, along with their brand, are what they protect--often at the expense of the worker's livelihood.

You want to change this reality? Well, I'm happy to discuss how to do that in the politics section.

Also, mocking people for caring about is so elementary school. Can't we move past that? If you disagree with their stance, tell them. Engage in actual debate on the topic. But to ridicule them for trying to make a change in the first place? Yikes. I thought we left the cool kid in the back of the class who doesn't care about anything stereotype behind us.

a single tweet being transphobic racist and anti vax is hella crazy.

Reminds me of the Daniel Tosh bit from one of his stand-ups where he says he has a career suicide note, and it starts out "Dear Jews." "Damn, he's really going for it."
 
This thread took an obnoxious political turn and I feel somewhat responsible. My bad. I specifically stay out of there as to not subject myself to any of that drivel. Did not know the actress made any sort of tweet. Let’s go back to talking about wandavision.

Probably a good idea to not go any further down the political track.

Let's stick to the MCU.

I finally finished the show. It was really good. Excited to see the next Dr. Strange film.

And I still don't care about Captain Marvel. Other than Goose. He needs his own show.

Here is his web series. SUCH A HANDSOME BOY!!! LOOK AT HIS PINK NOSE!!!
