This shit infuriates me. I hate that she's been spouting shit like this for so long and people respond like milquetoast dinguses.
What annoys me most is the people I hear in immediate friend circles saying stuff like, "oh I had no idea about Evangeline...that's crazy..." are the same ones that went on a crusade shitting on Letitia Wright because of a tweet she posted. Will Evangeline get the same vitriol from the internet for spreading conspiracy theories, anti vax sentiments, etc. as Letitia did for tweeting "Idk about this covid vaccine, y'all"? Doubtful, but that's the typical reward for people who are always given the benefit of the doubt.
Fuck this lady, I hope her character doesn't return to the MCU.

The issue is that Letitia Wright is actually talented and was basically in line to be the next Black Panther. Wasp can be replaced with a different actress and I doubt anyone would care. Also I am finding people are just burnt out on fighting anti vax fools.
This.
No one cares about Evangeline Lilly, but Letita has way more star power and relevance.
They should just dump her or reduce her importance going forward. I'm tired of these moronic takes being given more of a platform by propping them up with movie roles. Still bummed shuri got the black panther mantle despite digging the sequel otherwise
I don't really get what's wrong with the awards show thing, obviously I understand why the network and Hugo Boss didn't appreciate that, but it's a fact they made uniforms for the Nazis.
But yeah, he has a radio show where he "just asks questions" about a variety of things like Covid, vaccines, etc, he's definitely gone off the deep edge to get clicks.
It seems like it's literally this. I don't follow this stuff super closely so I could be wrong, but it seems like that one woman got fired from the Mandalorian for less than this?
Wright is also anti-trans as well as being anti-vax.
Both Wright and Lilly have shitty worldviews.
I'm sure she will show up on promos but i also noticed Bill Murray only appeared in the first trailer before the allegations about him blew up,and i bet Marvel would promote the movie with alot of featurettes about Bill Murray joining,now not so much.
When all these celebs get weird, they all get weird in the same specific way — vaccine skepticism, soft spot for Putin, distrust of liberal democracy.
They all start to feel like Kremlin ops at a certain point.
It's just the same narcissistic grift thet used to become celebrities in the first place.
The inheritor to the mantle of a dearly beloved actor in a cultural touchstone movie that made over a billion, versus the borderline non-present semi-love-interest in the least popular avengers spinoff are not really in the same realm of comparison
On the other hand Wright apologized and has shut up about it ever since, while Lily doubles and triples down
That and black women always get the worst of hate from folks. The amount of energy that goes towards hating black women is wild. We been knew Evangeline was on this wave but people stayed mild on it. Give her that same "I hope she gets squished by a giant foot" energy in every thread like folks did Letitia.
She didn't say anything nuts before Ant man 2 though... What was the reason that stopped you from watching the last one?
Never got around to watching it because of Marvel burnout and she was already outed as a nutjob by the time I would actually watch it.
Ah I see. I thought there was some previous history that we missed.
Honestly, that one was worse. Terrence simply wanted the money he was promised for IM2 when he signed on for the first movie, but apparently they went "actually, we don't want to pay you that much money after all", so Terrence walked. Now this next part's only Hollywood hearsay, as far as I know, but back then word was RDJ negotiated with Marvel to cut back on what they promised Terrence and give himself a raise for IM2 instead. Either way, Terrence did say he was disappointed RDJ didn't back him up.
That's surprising to hear since RDJ was said to have encouraged his other Avengers costars to negotiate for more pay after the success of the first Avengers.
You've still got Michelle Pfeiffer playing the original Wasp, Janet Van Dyne.
Honestly I was so mixed when they casted Newton for the daughter because of her, on the one hand hopefully they can just sunset wasp for Newton who is great, on the other it's totally soured me on the next ant-man which I would have been pumped for especially with Newton and Majors in it.
She fuckin sucks
She fuckin sucks
THIS IS SICKENING
They really do all seem to follow the same playbook, huh?
Yeah, I don't know why the Terrence thing is such a joke now, they reneged on him to such an insulting degree, who wouldn't be pissed?
Took a pay cut on 1.
Not only did they not offer what was agreed upon for 2, they offered even less than 1.
I was surprised to see Russell Brand disappear down that rabbit hole, but part of me thinks he doesn't actually believe it and is peddling it for the money.
As for Evangeline, I had (naively) hoped she could have changed course and walked back some of her previous comments and actions, but she's definitely in the thick of it now.

She's been on this bullshit for a while now. It's high past time she saw some repercussions for it.
We really are in the worst timeline for not making that happen.
User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing Concerns of Racism
So she's an idiot, and supports idiots. Is she hateful or bigoted? I'm not going to ask for someone's career to crash because they have dumb political views and believe conspiracies.
Hatefulness and bigotry are core to the beliefs of those conspiracy theories. It's rooted in deep-seeded anti-semitism.
Most certainly.
Never met a right wing conspiracy theorist who wasn't an hateful bigot.
One thing I am curious about, does anyone know of anyone celebrity or otherwise who has been down the far-right/anti-vax/QAnon rabbit hole and come back out?
I hope its possible, but I genuinely can't think of anyone.
