Here it is, as promised, the new Tigra reading list--it's by no means definitive, she's been around for almost 50 years--but the high points are listed.
I'm always willing to answer questions if I can, but I don't profess to be the expert on Tigra, I'm just
You think YOUR holidays are confusing, remember that Moon Knight is a Jewish guy supernaturally connected to an Egyptian god dating a pretty unreligious cat girl with two souls who is the Avatar of the tiger god, an entity of vast power analogous to the Phoenix force
@AmyClukey
We have so many examples of future dystopias in our fiction but the one I'd never have expected is all our art looking, sounding, and feeling the same because it's all AI generated.
Just a bland, vanilla, assembly line of creatively void garbage
@DaveMarrrrrr
I think they did an amazing job of taking the big sticking point in Hank and Jan's marriage, the thing that led to abuse, and made it relevant but nowhere near as toxic for an ostensibly young audience.
Also it led to the Thor and Wasp bromance and I LIVE for that
@sansajedi
Joker. Specifically Leto's version of Joker. He's literally that irritating little white kid that shops at hot topic to get chains on his pants and scare his parents.
They're scarier guys on the brown bus line that I took to go to work everyday
I don't think people really get it, let's do the quick rundown
Romani characters in The Big two
DC
Nightwing: heritage is iffy and possibly retconned--whitewashed in every permutation
G*psy: name is literally considered a slur.
Marvel:
Wanda and Pietro: Romani Jewish. Both

Every line from Ivy is comedy gold. I don't know who decided to make her the sarcastic voice of reason but it was a stroke of genius.
@purplemambaa
That may be a big part of it. It's why I assume tigra has never appeared in the MCU. She'd be a constant effect shot and even her presence is going to trigger comparisons to Wonder woman 84 or Cats from The general public
@DCComics
if you actually care about queer representation, stop trying to break up Harley and Ivy.
it's insulting you keep using them in promotional material and literally tell your writers to keep them apart.
You wouldn't even let Ivy be there for her the death of her lover's mother.
@DynamoSuperX
@guybrush999
The Harley Quinn show makes it very clear that the writers like the source material and they know it well enough to give some deeeeeep cuts.
Velma seems like it hates Scooby Doo. To this day I am not 100% sure who it was supposed to be for. It just felt mean spirited.
Happy

Here are some mom moments from Moon Knight

Cuz when you're a catgirl superhero with a catboy son, life presents certain challenges, like claws on your floor and supervillain drills
@GailSimone
I've tried to explain to multiple old schoolers who complain about the 'softening' of DnD over the years. Back in the day, you had friend groups of gygax types who tortured each other but stayed because they literally had nothing else to do
Doesn't work if people have options.
@TheCartoonBase
yeah, it was good.
I didn't expect a silly kids show about a talking dog and four mystery solving hip teens to go all Lovecraft, but it did and pulled it off. We need a sequel series
I'm a redhead. Here's my problem with this argument (besides the obvious racism but hear me out)
They claim they care but when a redhead IS played by a redhead, are they supporting it?
Poison Ivy had redheaded actresses playing her in Gotham and Batwoman...where was the Ginger
Steve Rogers is straight. He's totally an ally, but he's not queer.
I think it's HIGHLY problematic that our society has pushed the narrative that if a man is decent, honorable, kind, generous, and well-groomed--he cannot be straight.
I'm obviously biased, but it they don't bring Tigra back to Moon Knight and give us more fluffy moments with Marc and Greer I think the fans are gonna riot
@GailSimone
G1 DC Superhero Girls made a billion dollars on its own when it launched.
It literally put WB in the black that year by itself.
Oh there's a market. that's why it worked so well, Shea Fontana knows how to write for little girls and they did everything with little girls in mind
A lot of discourse about whether MJ should be a model/actress or something else
You don't update MJ by making her a reporter. In the 80s / 90s she was a supermodel and a soap opera actress. In in the 2020s she should have 400 million insta followers and star on a streaming show
@dallas_comics
It's a silly design, but her superpowers don't have anything to do with her fitness, so those abs means she spends a lot of time in the gym.
Girl, work it.
People are confused as to why many fans hate MJ
it's not MJ. in our culture, female characters who are beautiful and KNOW they are beautiful are punished narratively for it. You HAVE to be girl-next-door, pretty but doesn't know it, not like other girls
because femininity isn't

….But I won’t stop 😉
omg I'm like 3 pages in and this picture just choked me up
yes, that's Benjy with a yamaka giving his friend Tigra a comforting hug
guys, ya'll need to go get a copy of Vengeance of the Moon Knight

MK has been the best big 2 comic being published for a couple years now
enough ships. tell me your favorite character, the one you unconditionally love above all others and will defend to death. just thinking of them makes you emotional and they’re your number one.
I went and saw Saving Private Ryan with my grandpa on opening day and we went with a whole bunch of his VFW buddies.
Only a couple of them made it through the beach scene without excusing themselves to go out and cry and deal with panic attacks
trigger warnings aren't just
Quentin Tarantino is not a fan of trigger warnings and says people who get offended by films have a 'very narrow mind'

I really DON'T want Ultimate universe back. In the UU, Tigra was a racist ex cop killing indiscriminately. Wasp was EATEN.
HARD PASS
Now if you want to make an updated universe without 75 years of crazy continuity, that I might could get behind.
Needless edginess unwelcome
The confederacy only lasted 5 years
Tigra was a member of the West Coast Avengers for roughly 9 years
That means Tigra was almost twice as important as the confederacy
I propose tearing down all those old statues of old white men and putting up cat girl statues. WHO'S WITH ME

CS Lewis put it "When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
@NebsGoodTakes
Honestly I'm a little jealous that you get to binge all of those for the first time. They're all pretty solid. Even the one that gets a lot of hate, iron fist, has things to like about it
I'm not going to lie.
I'm not ok.
Trying to be funny and keep it together, but I really don't want Moon Knight to end.
Tigra being in Moon Knight is the happiest I've been with comics in years. I'm not worried about Marc, he'll bounce back with more soon enough, but Greer?
@MysticalMe337
@maryjanesparker
Blade: Damn Avengers won't help me against the vampires!
Moon Knight: Don't worry, I will. I'm kind of an Avenger
Tigra: I didn't get silver claws for nothing
Blade: HELL YEAH
I don't know who needs to hear this but Steve Rogers is so skilled at hand to hand that 'trained by Captain America' is listed on other heroes ' profiles as a superpower
Okay honest question guys. Why do male characters get all the harem covers? You know
Bats, Spidey...
I'm thinking about commissioning a big piece with Tigra surrounded by nekkid Avengers
How about a little beefcake to go with all that cheesecake
Current mockery of classic Thor fans who don't like his depiction as comic relief in the MCU makes me uncomfortable. My first Thor was Walt Simonson, a Thor that was mythic and cosmic and larger than life. He bears no resemblance to current MCU Thor.
I empathize with his long
I'm not even a particularly big fan of Harley, but the 'Harley can't be a Bird of Prey because she's a villain' takes will make me defend her.

All right here at the end of 2023 let's play a game. Personally I think that Tigra needs to start a new Avengers team populated entirely by heroes who deserve better than they have gotten
I want at least five characters. One of them...I'm already nominating Firestar
I hope people understand how important it is for us to see Harley and Ivy together, romantically, sexually, and totally normalized in love, taking showers together, watching TV together, and supporting each other--we need so much more like the Legion of Bats comic
Whitewashed. In fact Pietro has had two live action movie versions and both were whitewashed.
Doom: the terrible version of him that appeared in fantastic four was whitewashed
Did I miss any major characters? I don't mean minor side characters, but if there are major ones I'd
I think one of the more interesting stories Marvel has neglected for years are the interlocking female friendships among the Avengers
Tigra, Wasp, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, Black Widow, Mockingbird, Capt Marvel, Scarlet Witch
comics need more female friendships
