Earlier this year, Marvel Studios partnered with Entertainment Earth to release a WandaVision wedding ring prop replica set that was based on the rings Wanda and Vision shared in the Disney+ series. Now they're back with a new round of three exclusives that are inspired by everyone's favorite villain - Agatha Harkness.

 

The collection kicks off with a brooch and necklace prop replica set based on the design worn by Agatha in the WandaVision series. Both the necklace and pin are made from stainless steel and can be ordered together in a set here at Entertainment Earth for $59.99.

Disney is going to milk this show for all it i worth! (:

"Some people might say, 'Oh, it would've been so cool to see Doctor Strange. But It would have taken away from Wanda. We didn't want the end of the show to be commoditized to go to the next movie - here's the white guy, 'Let me show you how power works.'"

Seriously, they didn't include the Sorcerer Supreme, who keeps track of magic events on the planet Earth, because he was a "white guy"?  I'm getting so tired of all this wokeness.

I don't want to veer too far off-course, but I feel the necessity to share...
In a recent conversation on Reddit, there was a discussion about what to do with the MCU's X-Men. A user said that he wants to focus on POC. My response was that, "I don't enjoy exploitation for representation". It boiled down to the fact that I don't mind diversity one bit, but if it's at the sacrifice of quality storytelling, then it's simply a disservice to everyone.
Now, it boiled down to this: I said that if you're okay with casting a black man as Johnny Storm, then you also must be okay with casting a white man as T'Challa, otherwise you're a hypocrite. That would be equal opportunity. They disagreed. Why? Because most characters are white men.

It comes down to people not learning that it is not okay to marginalize anyone.

Came here to give my thoughts on Wandavision and I see people turning this into some other wild discussion with hot garbage takes that I'm not going to touch. 

I really liked how Wandavision started and found myself really interested in the mystery.  The 2 main actors did a fantastic job playing off of each other.  I did find the show became weaker when they transitioned to showing glimpses of the outside world and focusing on the police and Monica Rambeau.  I never understand why these shows do such a great job with writing and giving actors the chance to act and then they throw these awful characters like Director Hayward on the screen. The show kind of fell apart for me when Randall Park, Kat Dennings and Teyonah Parris were leading the way.  I find other Marvel movies do this often where they move away from their bread and butter wasting time on other characters that most people don't care about.  I understand building other characters but I'd rather focus entirely on the characters with the shows namesake.

Here's the difference:

Being African (not even African-American, but straight-up African) is integral to T'Challa's character in a way that Johhny Storm's being black is not.

Johnny's Storm's defining characteristic is being a hot-head. He could be black, white, Asian, or Native American - as long as he's impulsive, the character still works.

Just like it didn't matter that Sue Storm was played by a mixed-race Jessica Alba or Nick Fury by an African-American - or that Death in the forthcoming Sandman show won't be shown primarily as a pasty white goth girl - for some characters, race matters; others not.

Thunderbird played by a non-Native American or Sunfire played by a white American? No, Would be insulting to the very fabric of these characters.

But Deathstroke played by a black man? Perfectly fine.

Ditto Batman - there's nothing in Bruce's origin - or character - that dictates he needs to be played by a white man. Man? yes - but can absolutely be race-blind.

Not so with Black Lightning, Black Panther, or Static.

And - regardless of what the executive supposedly said about race, the story was stronger without Dr. Strange's appearance. Wanda didn't need anyone else in her coming to terms with her power - and overcoming Agatha in the process. The story was about her arc. Full stop. No other heroes needed.

White people are born and live in Africa, so there is no difference.

Sigh, I can't believe I'm replying to you because it seems like you just don't get it sometimes and like to just flat out argue but here goes:

Human Torch is not culturally significant in any way.  Black Panther is.

Do you really not see the difference between Human Torch being played by Michael B. Jordan or a white actor playing Black Panther?  Do you not see the significance in Black Panther being the first mainstream black superhero for Marvel?  Do you not see the cultural significance in the Black Panther movies and what that did for black youth looking up to an actual mainstream black superhero with huge cinematic success?

Ironic...

The only difference is claiming that the skin color of 1 character is more important than the other's. I don't subscribe to that mentality.

I think that honoring the source material matters, across the board.

Where are you or any other moderators when its the same problematic board members over and over again?  Sent you a DM a while back and never received a response.

I don't answer questions about how other people are moderated.  I suggest using the ignore function.  The current path will lead to time off.
