Ant-Man"s Agent Woo: do superhero films have a sidekick race problem?

Image
As the comic-book movie machine churns on, spinning myriad variations on a limited set of themes, similarities are bound to emerge. Watching the new Ant-Man and the Wasp brought home a fresh one to me: the civilian sidekick. This is the character who’s a loyal friend of the hero but possesses no superpowers of their own. They often wish they did, but you know they never will. Their ordinariness and incomprehension is there to throw the superhero’s transformation into comic relief. Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang, AKA Ant-Man, has Luis as his civilian sidekick. If you remember the first movie, Luis, played by Michael Peña, is Lang’s former cellmate and literal partner in crime. He’s Hispanic, good-natured and often hilarious, even when he’s informing Ant-Man that his mum died and his dad got deported. Luis is constantly asking if he can try on the suit, or get one of his own. It’ll never happen, but he can still console himself with being the funni...

What is Bigfoot erotica? A Virginia congressional candidate accused her opponent of being into it.

Image
by Ron Charles July 30 at 10:34 AM Email the author Our weird political era just got a little hairier. For the first time, millions of Americans are asking, “What is Bigfoot erotica?” That question has been inspired by Leslie Cockburn, a Democrat who’s running for Congress in Virginia’s 5th District. On Twitter this Sunday, Cockburn accused her Republican opponent, Denver Riggleman, of being a “devotee of Bigfoot erotica.” Her tweet included a crudely drawn image of Bigfoot — with the monster’s genitalia obscured — taken from Riggleman’s Instagram account. She added, “This is not what we need on Capitol Hill.” Actually, it would probably fit in just fine. My opponent Denver Riggleman, running mate of Corey Stewart, was caught on camera campaigning with a white supremacist. Now he has been exposed as a devotee of Bigfoot erotica. This is not what we need on Capitol Hill. pic.twitter.com/0eBvxFd6sG — ...

Bushwick is demanding justice for Luz Gonzalez, the 4-year-old girl killed by a hit-and-run driver over a month ago in Brooklyn. The motorist, identified as Jeanette Maria, hit Luz and her mother Reyna Candia with a 2018 Nissan Rogue SUV on the sidewalk outside a laundromat at  82 Wyckoff Avenue  on the afternoon of June 24. Luz Gonzalez Video of the crash showed the driver back out of a parking spot perpendicular to the building — in an illegal parking lot that the city has since shut down — as Luz and Candia walk by.
