Thanks for writing!

No surprise, there, Avengers opens next week! The LAST thing anyone wants is for THIS to be the story leading into the opening.

I’m still BEYOND disappointed. This just shows one more reason #WhyWeNeedFeminism - even a relatively cool guy can and will throw his female teammate under the bus for a sexist laugh. And don’t even bother writing me with the #NotAllAvengers defense.

Hey CAPTAIN AMERICA! Do the words ROLE MODEL mean anything to you? Literally the POINT of the character is to be a POSITIVE EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS.
