Ultron was a sloppy mess and Whedon should be ashamed.

Feminiznais are pissed about something?

Well it’s either because Scarlett Johanson’s characterization was too accurate of a real woman, or else she’s just too good looking in her costume and they’re jealous.

I can’t seem to find exactly what they are mad about, that her character has a boyfriend? Do they want her to eat carpet?

Ah, screw it. These ****ing twits are just the worst. They suck the joy out of everything. They see all through the prism of “What does this mean for girl power and why won’t you go out with me? You’re just like my father!”.

Ah, don’t worry about it. Marvel can’t hear the whining and complaining over the sound of ALL THE MONEY THE MOVIE IS MAKING.

And that money, and nothing but that money, is what gripes the libs. They can’t stand people making money unless it’s them.

Scarlett is NOT GUILTY!

When I first looked at the headline, I thought it read "sexiest superhero," not "sexist superhero."

My mind is in the gutter.

IIRC, the Iron Man trilogy grossed over a billion dollars on its own.

Haven’t seen how much the entire Marvel franchise has grossed

The series has collectively grossed over $7.8 billion at the global box office, making it the highest-grossing film franchise of all time.

Make that $10 or $11 billion after Ultron finishes its run

GDP of Iceland: $12 billion

I know she is somewhat of an empty-headed liberal, but if God creates our physical form as a container for our soul...then that is one fine container he created there, regardless of the soul within.

But I will say, she did at least spend some time with the troops, and I give her some degree of credit for that:

She’s not really a “super” hero...

She’s just drawn that way...Anyone can be written well for, but she does not require much work...;-)

” Feminiznais are pissed about something?”

Back in the early to mid 70’s, when I was in college, Feminism was all the rage in Boston. I had my standard reply to an avowed feminist: “ So you’re a feminist? Well, isn’t that CUTE! “
