They doxxed me, sent not only me death threats, but one even said my entire line should be wiped out essentially threating my mom, brothers, sister, dad, and everyone else related to me, so you better be careful how far you want to take making light of my experiences. Irreverence is my primary directive. You'll excuse me if I don't find the humor.

It’s just an elimination game. The point is to pick our least favorite McU character. By default that requires me picking an MCU character to delete. To get defensive about this is just plain absurd. What do you want me to do? Vote out Batman? I just think it's unfair to be fine with Tony's overconfidence but not another character's. I take great offense to you voting for Wong. Is it because he’s bald? Because that’s offensive.

Shuri a much more fleshed out character with more potential to do more than be "Strange's competent assistant who sometimes sasses him".

And I like his bald head. It’s bad ass.

It was everywhere I went online, including my own emails and a few even popped up in my mom's. I've told you this before. How about you not try to undermine the potential, real threat that was made on my life, considering I linked the article about the fatal swatting which happened a few years ago. Apart from that, I have a very good reason to take such threats very seriously considering people have actually tracked other people down over an internet disagreement to do very bad things to them, up to and including murder.

I know you were just expressing your opinion. I shouldn't have taken it there. I shouldn't have said anything to begin with. Sorry.

Because I’ll have you know that I’ve been compared to a young Patrick Stewart. By me. But still. People nod as though they agree (at least 20% of the time) when I suggest the comparison.

Exactly. Tony Stark is easily a thousand times more arrogant than Carol has shown herself to be, but he never catches hardly any flack from it from the fanbase. But Carol makes a couple of kind-of-cocky comments, she's suddenly "vote her out first" material. Stark’s arrogance is a part of his character flaw. It’s 100% intentional. Carol’s arrogance is supposed to be a strength and it falls flat. Remember that she was already a fighter pilot level pilot before she was a Kree near deity. Military personnel, particularly pilots, are often seen as arrogant for having given a fair assessment of their own capabilities, for acting without hesitation, or for reading a situation with a different set of eyes and coming off as a know it all when others just aren't seeing or acting with the same experience. It can come off as arrogant, but that same person is just as likely to honestly tell you their greatest flaw or when they accurately can't do something because they know their limitations better than most people who have never truly tested them. Even among heroes, unique experiences make for different expected types of people. If you've been sparing planets from genocide, averting an interstellar war, and hooking up with Moondragon, you're likely to consider things in an entirely different scale than War Machine.

The rest of us are just boldly resisting advancement at the risk of a good dive or gas mask fit for our neanderthalic luscious manes. You're way better prepared for an emergency gas mask usage.

That one line where she basically says “you all failed because I wasn’t there” is so pompous and arrogant that it makes me roll my eyes at her. In their defense those scenes were written and filmed before her solo movie! But that’s on them for doing it that way. Going forward I expect the character to improve. I take it this is the scene with the line you're referring to in it?... Firstly, I took her line to mean that she knew she could be of help - which she was. She wasn't wrong that having her on the team was of benefit (what I previously mentioned about her rescuing Tony, taking out a whole ship by herself and going toe-to-toe with Thanos). That's not 'pompous', that's just stating a fact. Someone as super powerful as her *is* an asset. How often does Tony Stark or any number of other characters act like they're the smartest/strongest character in the room and no one bats an eye at that? Now, if she'd accused the others of being useless and such, then that'd be something else. And secondly, what about the exchange straight after that^ where Rhodey gives her crap for not being around on Earth and she quite rightly points out to him that there are other planets in the universe besides Earth that were in need of help? She's been doing a lot, and he accuses her of not just focusing on one planet. Yeah she's definitely right. She isn't my favorite addition to the team but only because she was a late fit. I could see why "because before you didn't have me" is too familiar too soon for a group as close knit as the Avengers. She does rightly point out other planets were unlucky to not have them. It's not just right, it's deescalation with a compliment. It's the diplomatic way of sparing him from asking how many planets have you saved, buddy? Maybe it's my imagination but I could see her being tempted. Characters like her dare me to believe you could save entire planets and not develop a high opinion of yourself. It makes sense to me that she's kind of weird. She does have an arrogance. I just think it's consistent with balancing an action figure's heroic exploits in space and being so powerful that you're above it all.

Add to that the fact that the team she's talking to is literally named after her pilot callsign, and she probably felt a bit more at home in the room than normal social graces would estimate. Even like these people were an extension of her relationship with Fury.

Well, I'm glad I didn't have to turn this Survivor Game around... THE THREE-WAY TIE ROUND IS CLOSED.The final tally ended up being:Wong - 4 votes Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel - 3 votes Shuri - 1 vote Some may have thought "Shuri this Round Captain Marvel will be the character who's voted out"...but that would be Wong. Wong has been ELIMINATED and now Round 4 begins. The normal rules apply - vote for the character who you like the LEAST from the ones listed below. Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver Agent Peggy Carter Erik Killmonger Thor Gamora Peter Parker/Spider-Man Nebula Baby Groot Valkyrie Okoye Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Steve Rogers/Captain America Mantis Heimdall Sam Wilson/Falcon Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier Doctor Strange T'Challa/Black Panther Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel Bruce Banner/The Hulk Vision Hope Pym/Wasp Rhodey/War Machine Peter Quill/Star-Lord Thanos Shuri Clint Barton/Hawkeye Scott Lang/Ant-Man Nick Fury Loki Tony Stark/Iron Man

Agent Peggy Carter! She's great, but could have been replaced by any other agent and we'd still have Captain America in the present. I will die on this hill.
