A lot of people are like, “Oh, Jessica’s a stereotype. She has an accent.” I don’t want to propagate the idea that an accent is shameful, because that is the idea that has been propagated by white Hollywood culture since forever. It is simply a product of immigration, and our story is a story about immigration. It’s called Fresh Off the Boat. It’s not being used as fodder. (X)

Female Characters Appreciation, Villains: Part 1
“Isn’t it time to acknowledge the ugly side? I’ve grown quite weary of the spunky heroines, brave rape victims, soul-searching fashionistas that stock so many books. I particularly mourn the lack of female villains — good, potent female villains. Not ill-tempered women who scheme about landing good men and better shoes (as if we had nothing more interesting to war over), not chilly WASP mothers (emotionally distant isn’t necessarily evil), not soapy vixens (merely bitchy doesn’t qualify either). I’m talking violent, wicked women. Scary women. Don’t tell me you don’t know some. The point is, women have spent so many years girl-powering ourselves — to the point of almost parodic encouragement — we’ve left no room to acknowledge our dark side. Dark sides are important. They should be nurtured like nasty black orchids.”

Orphan Black was absolutely brilliant by dropping all these hints in season one about how Beth really was. She was so far from how Sarah portrayed her and pretty much EVERYONE noticed. It made sense that Art was thrown off by her and Angie was suspicious and Paul was like ??? Then in season four we meet Beth and we get it, Tatiana portrays her as a little like Sarah, but on the whole entirely different. Not the same at all. I love the depth.

in the beginning, Marvel events were spaced by twenty four weeks. then twelve, then six, then every two weeks. the last one, with Ulysses, was a week. in four days we could be seeing a line-wide push every eight hours until they are coming every four minutes. we should witness a double event within seven days

Fox & Marvel Studios Reportedly In Talks To Have X-Men Join Marvel Cinematic Universe
Matt Key, on the Collider Heroes podcast, had this to say about some rumblings he’s been hearing about a very curious new rumor. Check it out below.
“I’ve heard from a few of my sources, my little birds that Fox and Marvel have… kind of talked, but not really, but like there’s interest from Fox, like, ‘Ooh, y'know, what they did with Sony and Spider-Man is actually pretty cool, like, maybe…’ We’re years away from that ever possibly happening… but I think that’s what it would take… Fox joining hands with Marvel…”
