The Gay (TM)

[notelvira]

At SWSX 2019 expo yesterday, which fell right on international women’s day, Marvel held a panel on its comic history publication up to the current movies, and provided a first look at WAVE, a brand new young heroine from the Philippines, originating from suba.

Wave is set to debut this may during Marvel’s War of The Realms event, in a bimonthly miniseries called New Agents of Atlas. (That is, 2 issues on may, 2 issues on june!) and was designed by filipino artist Leinil Yu.

The premise of New agents of atlas goes: ‘As Sindr, Immortal Queen of Muspelheim, and her legions of Fire Demons march on Asia, it’s time for a new band of heroes to unite to protect the Pacific Rim. Having brought together a ragtag team of heroes to defend the Earth from an alien invasion in the past, can Amadeus Cho reassemble his “protectors” – Shang-Chi, Silk and Jimmy Woo to save the world from incineration? And where is Kamala Khan? And just who are Crescent, Io and Luna Snow? Featuring Marvel’s newest heroes from China, Aero and Sword Master, and a mysterious new Filipino heroine named WAVE!’

The team of all-asian superheroes is being written by Greg Pak (planet hulk, totally awesome hulk, mech cadet yu, John wick, firefly, james bond 007), and the art will be helmed by Gang-Hyuk Lim (Domino, west coast avengers) but the reason i make this post is this: if there is a high demand for the series, or a great response to Wave’s debut- it can be spun into a full monthly title, or a solo series! (like what happened with riri williams, currently Ironheart)

you can pre-order New agents of Atlas in your local book or comicstore, Comixology using your amazon account  or on Marvel’s digital comic store to receive it immediately at the time of launch on your preferred devices! :)

so butthurt men are leaving negative Rotten Tomato reviews on Captain Marvel before they’ve even seen it ???? If your masculinity is honestly that fragile that you feel “excluded” from a female led Marvel superhero movie, then I genuinely feel sorry for you

[devils-anus]

Are you kidding me!? They dropped it that low? You haven’t even seen it yet. What the actual hell.

[midtown-parker]

I just double checked and I think it’s gone from 96% to 53% !! it’s crazy.. why are people so pathetic ??

[cryingsaltbaby]

What the fuck

[glitterthegaywitch]

WTF. I just made an account specifically to upvote this movie.

[midtown-parker]

what the fuck.. guys please can everyone who wants to see this movie make a rotten tomatoes account and go upvote it !!!!! it looks amazing and it’s such a shame that people are trying to tear it down

[midtown-parker]

thank fuck for that

Does op have a brain? Also, do they understand anything about Jackson Pollock?

[autistic-goblin666]

Nope

[dementedgnomicwizard]

abstraction for the sake of abstraction misses the entire fundamental purpose of art which is that it Says Something even if you don’t mean it to Say Something and all pollocks art says is “i have managed to remove all aspects of personality and substance from the process of painting” and 8000 male critics were like OAHAGAGHSB nuts everywhere. anyway purely technique-focused art is fucking boring and anyone in the world could shit out the same thing if they tried for a few hours as opposed to actual good art; when it comes to good abstract art then sure maybe you could replicate the technique easily but the feeling and the message behind it are impossible to duplicate and that’s what makes it interesting and worthwhile.

Adding on to this the only reason pollocks paintings were ever accepted in the art world was because America was trying to propagandize American individualism by pushing the ‘We cherish our avant-garde tortured arteests unlike the FILTHY COMMIES”  as if the man’s shit doesn’t look like every painter’s drop cloth. This is also the time where they pushed a lot of graphic type stuff like warhol and basically the entire 60s was the american art worlds “look at me im not like those other white guys” phase

Also pollocks art is so technically trash that it’s literally degrading at a rate that cannot be preserved so it effectively is falling off the canvas lol. 

[oldfashionedtransguy]

I’ve studied a lot of art history throughout my life, and while I personally do like Pollock’s stuff, it’s worth noting that he would probably not have risen to the same heights if he were female. Gender inequality in art spaces is as blatant as can be, and for every male ‘superhero’ of art, there’s a woman who did the same years earlier, or who was (in some cases) copied by the male artist. 

Take, for example, Yayoi Kusama. Kusama created daring and innovative artworks, making them very personal and speaking freely about her mental illnesses and the domestic abuse she endured as a child, painting from the most honest depths of her heart. She was copied by many male artists, who are now revered as being geniuses. Even, at one stage, the wife of a male artist approached her and said, ‘I’m sorry, Yayoi’, because she knew her husband had unashamedly ripped off Kusama’s vision and hard work.

Andy Warhol copied Yayoi Kusama, and didn’t even make an effort to hide it. His Cow Wallpaper piece is a blatant ripoff of Kusama’s Aggregation: One Thousand Boats Show. Kusama put her heart and soul into her art, working with repeating images and polka dots as a method of calming the hallucinations she suffered on a daily basis.

With reference to the art theft of Claes Oldenberg, this article describes the following:

[Oldenberg’s] actions caused Kusama to become deeply depressed. So discouraged by the lack of recognition she received for innovating a new kind of sculpture, Kusama would often lock herself in her studio without coming out for days.

Question what you’re taught. Question the legacies of white male artists, who– in some cases– have profited off the talent of women of colour, like Kusama. Racism and sexism allowed Kusama to be pushed off to the side while men took credit for her creativity, and that same bigotry is going strong today. The objectification of women as pieces of art goes hand-in-hand with the erasure of the female gaze in art.

THANK YOU!!! this is such a good addition

[oldfashionedtransguy]

@hawkeye1964 No worries! :D Enjoying art made by men is one thing, and I’m fine with people doing that, but what frustrates me is when people are content to just sit with what they are told, rather than exploring alternative perspectives, or actually researching where their heroes obtained their inspiration. There are a lot of stories that go unacknowledged, and a lot of unique insight that is completely ignored, and it frustrates me. There are so many talented women who made groundbreaking art and will never receive the same adoration as their male counterparts.

It’s a problem that extends further than just a lack of appreciation for the legacies of professional creatives. Check out this work, by the activist group Guerrilla Girls:

Women are seen as objects in art. Women are not heard in the same way that men are.

I’m a transgender man myself, and– while I still experience a decent amount of bigotry and inequality– I recognise the world of privilege that has been made available to me since I began passing and took a male name. I consider it my responsibility, as an artist and as an appreciator of art, to encourage women and to hear their stories. I also try to promote the art of LGBT+ creators, and to consider the perspectives of all who make art.

(Sorry for derailing your post a bit lmao, I’m just very passionate about women??) I think a more holistic discussion needs to be had about art, and about where art comes from. Creativity is so much more vibrant when it’s actually diverse.

finding out people dont usually add numbers by first adding something to make a ten (for example 7+6= 7 plus 3 is 10 plus another 3 is 13) & that its actually an adhd thing is the WILDEST shit literally ive lived like 10 years (or however old i was when i learned to add and stuff) thinking thats how everyone does it. what the fuck

[cabronallorona]

What

[aqueerkettleofish]

It’s also an autism thing, apparently.

[agent-00-ani-deactivated2023100]

Oh yeah! This is also part of why autistic people/people with adhd struggle in math classes. Our brains process math and numbers in a totally different way. Many people on the spectrum struggle with the “show your work” part of math because we can’t exactly tell you why it works/how it works. We just kinda do it
