Billy Kaplan will still exist in the comics. He will exist in the MCU. Heck, he'll exist soon in Marvel Snap. I'll still keep you updated on him across all media as I always have. If you prefer one or the other that's ok. If you are excited for both, that's ok too.

Also it’s better that people who served in the military write comics who are Anti-war than people who write comics who didn’t serve in the military that are pro-war. Take for example Jack Kirby VS John Bryne, and Tom King VS Mark Millar.

While we’re discussing the Marvel boycott (which does include comics), I’m seeing people dive into DC instead but I don’t think that’s advisable. It may not be on the list, but the upcoming Superman film alone has zionists in the cast.

I’m going to choose to ignore that you’re equating Judaism and zionism for a second: you do not care about Palestinians if you only bring it up to dunk on others during online “discourse” and you need to work on your language surrounding it. “genocidal enabler” are you twelve.

Most insane take I’ve seen during this mess has been the claim that they didn’t cast a Jewish actor to play Billy because it “would’ve sent the wrong idea” because Judaism =/= zionism aside, they’re releasing the trailer of the film with Sabra as a central character TODAY?

@lavfeysun Jewish people don't care if the actors who play them and tell their stories to the world are actually Jewish themselves, they're smart enough to know they're actors. The representation they want is already portrayed by the actor, that is what matters, not the actor's religion.
