The daggers has a slightly curved, double-edged blade, made of damaskus steel, raiser at the centre. The wide, jade grip, has a pommel carved in the shape of a lion’s head, decorated with floral motifs with rubies and other mounted, gilt stones.
It’s Tuesday. Steve Rogers #1 comes out tomorrow. We only have a short opportunity to kill sales. And make no mistake, killing sales is the ONLY WAY Marvel will listen. Please encourage people to NOT buy the comic this week. Please encourage people to pull it from their pull list. Or, if it was on your pull list, to not buy it. Force the stores to have a blacklog. I normally don’t like to do anything that will hurt the LCS; I’m willing to make an expectation with this.
And MOST of all, please tweet @nickspencer and @Marvel on twitter with your disgust. (I’ve been using #CapIsNotHydra unless someone can think of something better.) They need to know this blatant disregard for Captain America’s Jewish creators and their intentions for the character is unacceptable and not something we will support.
just so everyone know’s nick is retconing caps past so he was helped by some nazi lady or something else bad writery, I’m not going to post any panels from it but I’ve read it and confirm it’s as bad as everyone is thinking, really would recommend skipping it even besides the cap being a nazi thing it’s a total snooze fest
Honestly, this is well intentioned but it’s not just this week you have to worry about because this is a series based on Captain America, a character created in direct response to how Jewish writers felt about Nazis and WWII, being a Marvel equivalent Nazi. So if you just skip this comic and start buying it, they learn nothing. This has already been given at least a five issue run.
This is an entire series you should not buy so that Marvel understands the outrage and hopefully remembers the history that led to Cap and Marvel comics being what they are.
If you want to put an end to this, Don’t Buy Captain America: Steve Rogers. At all.
Y'all clearly don’t know shit about Marvel if you think Hydra = Nazis. Do your research? ?? Because you are just spreading misinformation and causing drama and being ridiculous.
even if this is nothing more than a dumb publicity stunt
it is part of an on-going trend at marvel that shows the appalling lack of respect they have for jewish characters and creators and the bizarre, sickening romanticizing of hydra, a nazi organization.
steve rogers is the creation of two jewish men who took a stand against nazism at a time when it was not popular to do so, and they received many threats for doing so. he was intended to be political; the first thing you see him do is punch hitler in the face. even if this new twist ends up being reversed or made into an elaborate ruse, we now know that marvel is willing to jeopardize this legacy for publicity. they don’t see it as disrespectful to toy around and twist the creation of two jewish men like this.
wanda maximoff and pietro maximoff, the jewish-romani children of holocaust survivors, are actively having their jewish heritage erased by marvel higher ups who say thing like “can you point me to a single story, just one, in which the ‘fact’ that wanda and pietro come from a jewish background is in any way relevant?”. not only this, but their jewish identities are being erased in the mcu and replaced with christian identities (wanda has a cross hanging in her room), while also re-imagining them as hydra nazi volunteers. this from the same mcu that routinely hires jewish actors and actresses and then erases their identities such as with natalie portman, kat dennings, rdj, gwyneth paltrow, and paul rudd; in the cases of some jewish actors like jon berthanal they actively replace his jewish identity with a christian one by making the punisher a (lapsed) catholic.
all the while they continue to glamorize the nazi organization hydra, playing up the meme status of “hail hydra”, having their employees wear hydra merch and describe themselves as hydra in their twitter bios. they even released a comic about an agent of hydra, intended to be a comedy, slice of life thing. you were intended to feel bad for hank, the protagonist, because he just saw it as a job and joined because of the tough economy, ignoring the fact that this was the case for many real world nazis as well. magneto, a jewish holocaust survivor, was villainized and basically held responsible for endangering the world because he attempted to kill the red skull, a nazi who was setting up new concentration camps. it was also the title in which his paternal relationship with wanda and pietro was erased. the series name was axis.
this is not cute. this is not the type of stuff that can or should be ignored. this is just further proof of a seriously alarming trend going on at marvel, where they think flirting with nazi organizations is fun and ignoring and actively erasing the identities of jewish characters and the contributions of jewish creators is okay. do. not. ignore. this.
“And Matilda found, to her surprise, that life could be fun. She decided to have as much fun as possible. After all, she was a very smart kid. Matilda and Miss Honey each got what they wanted: a loving family.”
She literally said something in feline. She had to have
This certainly got my cats’ attention.
it looks so betrayed “i thought we were friends human”
She really must say something crazy, cause my two kitties came running towards my notebook and were searching for the source crazily.
Oh my god, I played this video and my cat looked at me SO FUCKING SHOCKED AND HE IS STILL STARING AT ME LIKE I SAID SOMETHING OFFENSIVE
LISTEN UP YALLS
•If you say “meh” high pitched it would mean “help”. Kittens use it a lot to get their mother’s attention before they open their eyes.
•If you do a tongue roll with a sharp “reah” at the end it would mean “come here”. My sister and I use it to call upon stray cats.
•body language is hard to describe. You usually need a tired and relaxed look to seem calm and purrsuasive (lol).
•tongue rolls with a slightly closed mouth can resemble purring in a way that helps attract cats.
•what the person used, or said, was a “help” and “I love you”. The cats body language dictates that it is surprised that a human could use this ability.
•we can’t fully communicate without tails and whiskers.
