You would think a movie with so much woman power wouldn't feature that Beastie Boys song where they proudly proclaim "I have an erection I have an erection".

Hell, fucking yeah! I cannot wait!! Get here already November!
Clitoral erection is a thing.
Did Guy Gardner just hacl Christ's account?
Best "Acktually...., " yet.
I just saw the trailer for "The Marvels". The movie looks really looks good. But I've noticed that it features another non-white villain from the MCU. How many does this make in the last year or two? I'm not stating that the villains can only be white. But the MCU is beginning to form a rather disturbing pattern in its casting for villains.
Shang-Chi had a non-white villain because the entire cast was non-white, the same is true of Wakanda Forever. No Way Home had a single non-white villain compared to multiple white villains (none of whom were cast by the MCU). Outside of that, this villain (if she even is the main/only villain, we have to wait and see) would make a grand total of 3* (Quantumania, GotG Vol.3, The Marvels). Eternals, Black Widow, Thor and MoM all had white villains.
Prior to Eternals, the last time the MCU had a non-white villain was Black Panther in 2018 (unless Thanos being purple counts).
*Even if we count the shows, that still only adds Echo (who was a secondary villain to Kingpin and was set up for getting her own show) and the villains of Ms. Marvel (who were also non-white because the whole cast was non-white).
False controversy, meet facts.

So, don't cast the best person for the role, cast a white person? Is that the message?
I did add those to the tally. Quantumania, GotG Vol 3 and The Marvels.
Those are the only Marvel movies since the Pandemic that have a non-white villain, except for movies where the whole cast is non-white or the one movie where all the villains were returning characters from old Sony movies with their original actors.
In fairness, I was wrong when I said Black Panther was the last non-white villain before the pandemic. I forgot about Ghost in Ant-man and the Wasp. In my defense, Ant-man and the Wasp is shockingly forgettable (and the other villain in the movie is white, anyway, too).
It’s my mistake, I didn’t see the brackets in your original reply (mobile phone screen size and ageing eyes) and misunderstood the sentences. Apologies.
No, i think it is that white people have a lot o experience at being villains
But seriously...i understand the concern of the poster who was concerned, but as others have pointed out, this actually reflects the diversity of newer contributors to the MCU rather than a pattern of villainizing non-whites (i.e. a stark difference to the 20th century)
With bad guys you get to let it all out. All those dark places in your psyche? You can let 'em go. When you play good guys, it's kind of boring. It's one note.

And in fairness 'Ghost' wasn't really a villain so much as an antagonist.
I kind of doubt they would recast Kang with a different skin color after we've already seen so much of him. Might be a bit too much to ask audiences to go along with.
Of course, then again, they already had black Loki on Disney+, so who knows.

Mine wasn't really, either, though I do think its true.
And I do still wonder if they'll ever go as far with any other variants as they did with the variant Lokis.
