Amazing Spider-man 603,

Wow, Is Marvel trying hard to make us not miss or like Mj because this is the most ugliest Mj I ever scene. I hope this is a zombie variant because it sure does look like one. I guess this too suffer from inconsistent art, well Michelle looks like Eliza Maza here.

You didn't even read my post, did you?

I don't CARE that it's Chameleon. It's STILL an inherently misogynistic portrayal of MICHELLE.

And anyone who CLAIMS to be a "liberal" (as I believe you've done) who DEFENDS misogynistic tropes on the grounds that they're used a lot in mainstream media should be ASHAMED of themselves. Yes, the "Oh, she was a bitch before, but she just needs a smack to shut her up" trope IS used in a lot of mainstream media, but so are any number of OTHER racist, sexist and homophobic tropes. I guess it's okay to reduce blacks to token characters who all talk in ghetto slang, then, because so many stories have done it before. THIS IS MEDIA THEORY 101.

And your parodying of my CAPS is neither funny nor effective, because it shows you're not interested in hearing my points as much as you are in trying to score points off of me.

Come to think of it, doesn't it seem to be an extra helping of creepy that they present a dehumanized female as plot device and little more, in the same scene where they're discussing a refrigerator?

Or am I reading too much into this?

Even I would say that you're reading too much into this. :)

I highly doubt there was any intentional subtext here.

That being said, they're not doing themselves any favors by being blind to the Unfortunate Implications ...

True, dat. Van Lente probably thinks he's crafting a great story here, and probably doesn't notice the rather disturbing aspects of that scene. So I doubt he'd see the irony of the refrigerator being involved in all this.

Now I can't get the fridge out of my mental vision.

On the other hand...it's chain locked!

Ain't NOBODY gettin' in that fridge!

[sandoz_iscariot.insanejournal.com]

The dead girlfriends are coming from inside the fridge!

OMG it's the Black Lanterns!

You know, I have quite grown to respect you.

[box_in_the_box.insanejournal.com]

... Um, thank you.

(If that sounded backhanded at all it wasn't meant to be! It's just that at first your INTENSE TYPING was kind of scary. But now I find myself often looking forward to your comments! So.. thumbsup!)
