![]() I was actually going to start a thread about it when it first came to Netflix, but I cringed at the thought of posters like R61 who clearly only watches reality shows on Bravo with vapid pretty people doing vapid pretty things. She is so striking, but I can imagine the shit she probably got growing up.īTW, “Chewing Gum” is so goddamn charming. I just CANNOT take my eyes off this woman. HBO has really knocked it out of the park with shows like this and “Insecure,” “High Maintenance” etc. ![]() It has more depth than derivative shit like “Fleabag.” The wackiness ensues, but it has consequences. The problem is that it can be misconstrued as smug and become offputting really fast-at least to me, BUT her material rises above all of that. The clothes, the hair, the way she carries herself. An aimless chick with no inhibitions who thinks she’s smarter than everybody gets into wacky situations and hilarity ensues-except that it doesn’t because we’ve ALL seen it before.Īs far as “I May Destroy You,” Coel is VERY aware of her unconventionality. ![]() I didn’t make it to episode 3 of “Fleabag.” Seen it already. Meanwhile, you probably look like Benny HIll on his deathbed.ĪNYWAY.I get what you’re saying R53. Paapa Essiedu who plays Kwame is a friend of Coel but still had to audition.Īlso I loved Suzi the agent. Coel did an amazing job in writing the supporting characters and the casting is pitch perfect. For a show that dealt with consent in such an innovative way it just hit a sour note, especially the scene with her mum and step dad right at the end.īut the rest of it was fantastic. After the Reynhard Sinaga case it's very troubling.Īlso didn't like the episode with Theo, the white girl at school who lies about being raped and sexually abused. It really irritated me as men might think any assault they face won't be taken as seriously as women. The scene where Kwame goes to the police to report the rape was ridiculous - he'd have been given the same service as Arrabella and spoken to specialist police offers, not a random inexperienced policeman out of his depth. Maybe Ayo and Aneka will be a step in the right direction.īlack Panther: Wakanda Forever comes out in theaters November 11, 2022.My feelings were generally positive but there were some parts I really didn't like. Hopefully, Marvel will start breaking this trend of under delivering when it comes to LGBTQ+ representation. While the movie ended up being by far the queerest MCU project yet and talked about sexuality in new ways for the universe, Valkyrie did not find her queen and is still single. Most recently, fans had been waiting with excitement for years after Tessa Thompson said that her character Valkyrie would be searching for a queen in Thor: Love and Thunder. She also talked about having two moms in the movie. Then came America Chavez, who was supposed to be the MCU's first lesbian superhero in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but had her queerness erased except for a couple of pins on her jacket. While his character was shown to be married to a man and with a family, there wasn't much to it other than that, and the character was a side player in the film. ![]() He is an actor, known for I May Destroy You (2020), The Lazarus Project (2022) and Men (2022). Marvel has been introducing queer characters to the MCU over the last few years, and most examples have been underwhelming.įirst came Phastos, a gay and married member of The Eternals played by Brian Tyree Henry. Paapa Essiedu was born on 11 June 1990 in Walthamstow, London, England, UK. We don't know how much of the movie will be dedicated to showing Aneka and Ayo's relationship, and honestly, we aren't getting our hopes up. In the film, Atlantis is Mesoamerican-inspired, and Huerta is the second Mexican MCU hero after America Chavez was introduced in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness earlier this year. We know that one of those "intervening world powers" will be Namor, played by Tenoch Huerta. ![]() As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda." The official description for the film reads: "In Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M'Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T'Challa's death. ![]()
