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?

I'm a lot more comfortable with telling a new friend that I'm schizoaffective than I am with telling them that I'm bisexual
One of my very best friends is an out bisexual and I haven't even told him

I've never looked you up on google, but assuming you're using your real name, etc. Posting it here, is about as public as it gets. Though, I guess new friends shouldn't be so creepy as to be searching to see who you are on the internet? Or am I one of the few who still think that's creepy?

He was a registered sex offender who did time in Walla Walla starting in 2005, then went on to steal a car while wearing homemade body armor and a helmet with metal plates duct taped to it, lead the Lakewood Police on a high-speed chase, crashed the car then opened fire on the cops.
Despite that he died in 2012, the police still think I'm him.
