I haven't seen the show or the new Dr Strange film yet, but I thought the character's premise is that she is from an alternate universe.

Have the Evangelicals moved on from the notion that any aliens are actually demons?

Technically, she is an undocumented immigrant, not just in America but in the universe. She's fluent in Spanish, and she has two moms.

I understand DeSantis actually swooned onto a fainting couch when he heard this.

I actually thought the new show was going to be about the America Chavez character's backstory.

aka garbage humans. Harsh? You bet, but every single day they give me added reason to despise their very existence. A pox on the planet.

The group is headed by Wade Wilson... more commonly known as Deadpool, another Marvel character.

If not... helluva coincidence.

On edit: Also I don't believe the character is gay - just not typically submissively feminine. The character is Ms. Marvel. Carol Danvers used to be Ms. Marvel but has been "promoted" to Captain Marvel earlier this century, and Kamala takes the Ms. title because she's a big fan of the Captain.
