No disagreement but... PJMcK Jun 2016 #10

Not retired, taken from FOX and given back to Marvel so they can do it right Rosco T. Jun 2016 #12

Do it right? LostOne4Ever Jun 2016 #141

I also think the IPs being in separate hands keeps MCU from getting too bloated. Act_of_Reparation Jun 2016 #185

I didn't know part 1 of your post but appreciate the knowledge yeoman6987 Jun 2016 #14

It'll never be the last one. Chan790 Jun 2016 #240

Angelina Jolie has beaten up and been beat up by males in her movies for years. Calista241 Jun 2016 #236

Jennifer Lawrence may have no say whatsoever on the poster. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #272

my take on it quickesst Jun 2016 #2

She's also one of the X men that can hold her own in a physical fight. Volaris Jun 2016 #163

Sounds reasonable to me quickesst Jun 2016 #169

I see her in that position and I see a moment Bettie Jun 2016 #171

Exactly!! quickesst Jun 2016 #219

She,'s not portrayed in the poster as ,'poweful"... whathehell Jun 2016 #179

Yes, because the idea behind the poster is to show a character (Mystique) who is a known butt-kicker Nuclear Unicorn Jun 2016 #197

Okay...I'm not that familiar with the series whathehell Jun 2016 #211

Hopefully, this will help shed more light on the character -- Nuclear Unicorn Jun 2016 #217

My opinion quickesst Jun 2016 #226

Please.'re-read my post.. whathehell Jun 2016 #230

You got me there. DisgustipatedinCA Jun 2016 #111

Oh my GummyBearz Jun 2016 #238

How do these people go outside...? AlbertCat Jun 2016 #191

The poster is not a superhero movie. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #268

Who cares if they see it? TipTok Jun 2016 #276

It's not using "sexy women" to sell films. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #277

I understand on an intellectual level... TipTok Jun 2016 #280

This is not "society." JackRiddler Jun 2016 #281

Billboards are out in society... TipTok Jun 2016 #282

I think advertisers should get whatever they want. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #284

Its a sexy woman in a fight.... TipTok Jun 2016 #286

They can pick a different image to promote the movie... JackRiddler Jun 2016 #287

I think you are denying more than a bit. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #289

My image was from a previous one... TipTok Jun 2016 #290

Saw the movie with my former wife (separated). Neither of us mentioned that scene afterwards. mikehiggins Jun 2016 #4

Please, stop trying to drag context into it ProudToBeBlueInRhody Jun 2016 #9

Though perhaps not those with the most right to complain -- females in fandom/ons/etc. moriah Jun 2016 #149

A poster featuring Jennifer Lopez in "Enough" being choked would be over the line ProudToBeBlueInRhody Jun 2016 #253

They were pretty careful with triggering imagery in trailers, etc there. moriah Jun 2016 #266

More fan discussion of what's in the movies. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #279

The movie is not the context. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #269

You trying to tie an X-Men poster to any serious feminist cause is hilariously sad. phleshdef Jun 2016 #204

The poster takes up space in real life, in a public area. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #285

What does this have to do with marriage? Do you mean misogyny? Donald Ian Rankin Jun 2016 #216

I wonder if this one will make it to 377 Major Nikon Jun 2016 #11

Because people are running out of real problems. linuxman Jun 2016 #13

VAW is no longer a real problem. sheshe2 Jun 2016 #20

This may come as a shock to you, but X-men is a movie. linuxman Jun 2016 #22

Women take a hit every day and we keep going. nt sheshe2 Jun 2016 #92

Well you don't know what you are talking about... sheshe2 Jun 2016 #260

So, no more female superheroes Bettie Jun 2016 #173

This movie poster is not a problem. If it is a problem, you're going to need to go back in time DisgustipatedinCA Jun 2016 #90

VAW is not a big thing? Alrighty then. nt sheshe2 Jun 2016 #94

You've failed at trying to put words in my mouth. Do you recall sentence diagramming from school? DisgustipatedinCA Jun 2016 #97

Nobody said that but you. linuxman Jun 2016 #98

It's slightly more prevalent than violence against men in a domestic context. sibelian Jun 2016 #156

The tactic 'putting words into the mouths of others' is a bully's tactic, it is a form of rhetorical Bluenorthwest Jun 2016 #165

I would disagree skepticscott Jun 2016 #181

Maybe you want all the female superheroes... TipTok Jun 2016 #114

you are correct! Remember the outrage when this came out! snooper2 Jun 2016 #180

I disagree. This is an action film Quackers Jun 2016 #23

This is not a film. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #278

Where's the context? Matrosov Jun 2016 #26

Hmmm... sheshe2 Jun 2016 #55

Why not, who doesn't like shapeshifting badass hottie! snooper2 Jun 2016 #183

Lets just not cast any women in action movies, so you wont be offended. Travis_0004 Jun 2016 #30

You just saved people the trouble of watching the movie. Nicely done. Orrex Jun 2016 #43

This was an epic, life or death struggle in a super hero movie for the fate of the world. Agnosticsherbet Jun 2016 #35

No. The movie is irrelevant. JackRiddler Jun 2016 #270

Mystique is a violent, dangerous, psychopath of a woman IronLionZion Jun 2016 #38

Apparently, female protagonists may only fight female antagonists demwing Jun 2016 #61

Yep, nothing like some good old fashioned girl-on-girl action.... truebrit71 Jun 2016 #174

I am intrigued: how would they want "a gay male being strangled by a hetero" depicted? MisterP Jun 2016 #62

it doesn't help matters the character is shown running around naked through the whole movie Bucky Jun 2016 #65

Putting the poster aside....Are you saying no female character can be harmed? davidn3600 Jun 2016 #68

Whoooosh! sheshe2 Jun 2016 #70

That's because you reached really... Buddyblazon Jun 2016 #72

The movie is different Bradical79 Jun 2016 #115

Within the whole scene where it happened, it works. Agnosticsherbet Jun 2016 #128

Now that you mention it, I'm disgusted with it too. Sick of it. So pervasive. lostnfound Jun 2016 #85

What would your suggestion be? Buddyblazon Jun 2016 #88

And how would one enact this hypothetical non-encountering of violence in movies? DisgustipatedinCA Jun 2016 #91

I agree... Buddyblazon Jun 2016 #99
