It looks like Ms. Marvel is finally one step closer to joining the MCU.

"Ms. Marvel, which is another character in the comic books, the Muslim hero who is inspired by Captain Marvel, is definitely sort of in the works. We have plans for that once we've introduced Captain Marvel to the world."

Comic Book Guy Probably wasn't too happy about the 2015 Hugo Awards.

Weren’t there some trans and gay comic book characters? I wonder what happened to them? I’ll bet they were killed by market forces, just as this one will be.

People will not pay money to see a propaganda film.

If they make her a lesbian too, then they’ll have a full house.
