You may ask: what is the greatest contribution to Spider-Man mythos that Marvel/Sony movies have made. You might say Into the Spider-Verse, but I contend it's making previously dopey Spider-Man villains uncomfortably hot. For instance:

Hey comics twitter, can we talk a moment?

When boys don't read stories with strong, smart, or otherwise incredibly women, it seeps into their brains that these women don't exist. When they are not taught that they can look up to women, they don't. This is poisonous to society.

White boys aren't born only seeing white boys as equals, that's a thing this racist society reinforces in them every day in subtle ways. So if your son wants to read a book about a black princess or girl scientist or a freaking purple unicorn, don't tell them its not for them.

Not being able to see girls as equals starts at a really young age and when you don't make sure that your son has books with female protagonists and heroes, you are affecting how they see the gender of heroics.

And that shit is harmful in ways that are obvious and ways that aren't. You're pushing your sons into boxes that are just as closed as the ones that some of you recognize are bad for your daughters - that goes both ways, but the insidious thing is actually this:

Just like we want girls and children of color to see themselves and know that they can be anything the want, we need those boys to know that girls can be heroes too - so that they can recognize that potential in real women.

But I frequently have boys come to my table, pick up a copy of Princeless or Wasp or Raven and flip through the thing, ask me questions, and then bring back a parent. Some parents go for it, but a surprising number of parents react negatively to the idea of a boy with a girl book

Guys, the director of Captain EO is right, movies shouldn't just be theme park rides.
Francis Ford Coppola has given his thoughts on Marvel movies:
“When Martin Scorsese says that the Marvel pictures are not cinema, he's right because we expect to learn something from cinema, we expect to gain something, some enlightenment, some knowledge, some inspiration...”

I understand that it's a con and you can't buy everything kids want, but I'm talking about parents who are on board until they see the girls in action on the front of these books. I regularly have parents point at pony stuff on the table and mock kids about whether they like it

I am much more likely to get a supportive parent (mother or father) that picks up Princeless and gets it for their daughter than I am a parent that gets one for their son. At one point, I thought this was not big deal, but then it started to become a patter with books I write

Best case, they gently nudge them toward the thing they think he "should" be reading. If it doesn't work, then they relent and buy what he wants. But I have regularly had parents take or push books out of kids hands, put them down and walk off because of the type of book

The only way to possibly read this is that Jared Leto is a vampire.
Which I find so disappointing. We were always told vampires would be so cool, but they're just dead rat mailing edgelords.
Jared Leto explains why it was difficult to play ‘MORBIUS’:
“I’m not used to playing roles that are a little bit closer to who I am, day in and day out. Dr. Michael Morbius is a little closer to the way that I talk and the way that I behave.”
