Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors is a sweet superhero tale where, yes, a group of younger heroes come together to battle an extremist group. But more importantly than that, it's a superhero tale with diversity oozing out of every animated frame.
...
Ms. Marvel, who idolizes Captain Marvel and is inspired by her, instead leads the Secret Warriors movie, showcasing her origin tale, her relationship with her mother and her struggle for acceptance in a culture that is adverse to the creation of the Inhumans -- the latter being people who gain superpowers after getting into contact with a gas substance called Terrigen Mists.What Secret Warriors is doing particularly well is that it isn't shying away from its focus on diversity in any part of its plot. In particular, the storyline aims at a brewing conflict between humans and an extremist group of Inhumans, the latter believing that a war between the two groups is inevitable. Khan ends up stuck in the middle, as an Inhuman herself who doesn't believe the conflict is needed.
Another refreshing carryover from Marvel comics is America Chavez. Her origin story, which sees Chavez's two mothers sacrificing themselves to protect their daughter, remains completely intact and sympathetic. Chavez herself demonstrates herself as a formidable ally, having super strength and the ability to fly. It's a nice start for LGBT representation on the animated side of the Marvel universe for now.
Wasn't Captain Marvel a man?

Right. They're just quivering in their little booties, sobbing mantears of cake frosting and hotsauce, that run down their blubbery incel triple chins.
I mean, there must be one or two of them, right? Never met one of these scared shitless people, but they must be out there, somewhere? Guys?

Anybody?
I reckon they've all gone to their manly-man bunkers to hug their rifles and cans of spam, because I'm just not hearing a lot of panic-weeping.
But do keep telling yourself how scary you are. I'm sure it makes you feel great.

Any others?

I've occasionally seen disgust, occasionally anger, once in a while annoyed bafflement.
Can't recall any fear.

Ah yes, incel, the latest scaretype label that gets flung around by the "diversity" warriors now that they have wrung all meaning out of nazi and racist.
