After the last go around? I've got a pretty clear idea about who she representing..
That's that Zimzam Flimflam!

she's a Hindu, of the Hindu religious majority in Sri Lanka, although she is a Tamil ethnic minority. Muslims are also an oppressed minority in Sri Lanka, Partially at the hands of the Tamils' most recently, as they were caught in the civil war between the Tamil and government forces. It looks like the Tamils killed a lot of Muslims in the war.
And she's not just speaking for "her people" she's not talking about Tamils, or Sri Lankans. she's talking about people in Palestine, people in Africa, people that aren't "her people" but are her people. She's trying to link to all oppressed people, including black lives, which she has a history of doing.
I mean, she came off awkward, but she's not as bad as you all are taking her to be.
ok, i'll hush.

Yo where is that from? I've been trying to find gifs/videos of that for future usage.
Right on target.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
Completely forgot about Lemmy.

Just bought my Civil War tickets. Barely gonna be able to contain this hype over the next two weeks.
Go out and see my movie, brehs. This is my big break. You could say I'm black panther's sidekick. I'll remember BCT-GAF when I've made my millions.

Set photo from Atlanta. Lol, I'm the dude all the way in the back in the orange and white. Not actually black panther's sidekick. Or anyone significant.

Don't do that. If that's all it is, that state it as such. Perhaps help those who are defensive (on either side) to understand it. I know roy thinks this a horse Emporium, but it's more than that. Cindy runs hair. HTown runs physics. Slayven..runs his tongue up and down on it like groceries? I forget what she says.
Either way. No monoliths here. I had no clue who this woman was. I've gone out of my way to know her a little more. Certainly isn't a bag of shit. Doesn't mean she can't come of a little off. I say it's better that you're here giving your perspective, than to have nothing at all.
Shit..if militant Cindy got room in here, you know DAMN sure all cats are welcome..
You have a powerful "the hell is this white nonsense?" face going on, b.

Nothing but love here. Just saying. Keep it going. There's certainly a conversation to be had. If you feel you've exhausted it, understood. But, again, I'm new to this person and her ranting. If those that know her stop talking, then all I have left to go on is the voice of those in opposition..
exactly my first though. 'what is this foolishness, get off of that car, that homemade costume looks horrible.'
same, I hear you. I got nothing I should go on about, unless anyone else has another coin to insert. and all that bread is terrible for both of you. let fluffy out of that sandwich.

you look like roy's plucky younger brother
With you 100% on that. Also, It's been months since that award show where she and a few others got some of that spotlight for the cause by calling out Rock. If they haven't used any of it, kept that publicity light shining on it, then oh well. Pimping new episodes of Agents and providing fan service must be taxing, cos that's all I see happening on that twitter account.
Did you get to keep the shirt?

We were a bunch of poor africans. Not about to let captain america get away with this white nonsense unnoticed.
(heh, IIRC I think I was just squinting because the sun was shining right in my eyes. it fits though)
Not quite. But Chris Evans was a bit shorter than me in the suit, which felt weird as fuck.
Nah, had to give back all the clothes they provided.
Fox is letting Marvel do black versions of the X-Men. You heard it here first, fam.

First rodeo, but I'm keeping my eye out for the Spider-man casting call since they're gonna be filming that in Atlanta, too.
Definitely not Wakandans. Nigerian, I believe.
Yeah, no complaints here. Shit was a blast.

"It has more than three black people in it, it has to be Wakanda!"
lmao

You telling me. I kid you not, I wish I hadn't seen it. The wait for a second viewing is killing me lol..no lie.
Not mention Wakanda is landlocked, which made what Namor did even more fucked up.
Yep, that always bugged the shit out of me. it's like people actively don't pay attention to what they're watching.
Even though in the film clearly said they're going to South Africa, i kept hearing people say it was in Wakanda.
I don't know shit about comics and it still annoyed me.

Shit..I've been nice lol. Just messing, tho. Jean asks for spoilers everyday and I refuse to tell her. Shit should be experienced fresh. It really is a great flick..
Heh. I don't blame ya.
Excellent. Thanks for the clarification, fellas.

I need a tshirt with the Wakandan flag on it. Do it, Marvel.
You've been great. Was just remembering the BvS and SW conversations were it was impossible not to infer meaning from half spoilered sentences about very specific moments. I practically wheel scrolled past entire pages and still understood the majority of what was said without clicking a single spoiler. That Twitter chat is looking mighty appealing if I've got to drop out of frame...

What I've learned around here (GAF) is that if a movie is shat on enough, spoilers are absolutely fair game. One of my favorite threads from last year was the OT that no one, besides the OP, gave a shit about..it was Fan4stic! Folks arguing about low scores (while literally also giving it a low score within 2 sentences..just like BvS). Fan fiction. Ticket giveaways sponsored by Slayven and viewers like you! Thread had it all!
The BvS RT Thread was just on another level..and yet, it was a unique set of circumstances. I'm no soothsayer, but I can say without much doubt that the reviews are going to look juuust a bit different..PayPal be damned!
