brevoortformspring: I think there’s a bit of a difference between the portrayal of the Yellow Claw and the use of a term like Juggernaut which has entered the parlance.

Of course there's a difference. The Yellow Claw depiction is overt bigotry, the use of 'juggernaut' is subversive. There's also the fact that the meaning of 'juggernaut' is buried in its etymology (but nonetheless there). It was certainly intended to be a slur against Hindus, and Jagannath festivals are still held in India celebrating Vishnu/Krishna.

I'm curious where Marvel draws the line. Apparently it's bigotry when *I* question Black Panther's fight with Black Star (vs his fight with Gladiator and Co.), but it's not bigotry when Marvel depicts Shiva as an angry, bulbous oaf who grapples with Thor.

How come Gladiator didn’t take out Black Dwarf alone and it took Superskrull holding him and Ronan hitting him from behind with a kill shot? Just how powerful was Black Dwarf (obviously Ronan Hammer was more powerful and he is dead).

Thanks for your time. Infinity is awesome. 

Black Dwarf is beaucoup powerful.

Black Dwarf has only one weakness: a peak human black man, with the agility of a panther. That's his kryptonite.

Sorry, there ain't NO WAY Black Dwarf can be humiliated by Black Panther (home turf or no), but survived even seconds against Gladiator (much less Gladiator and his posse of cosmic hitters). That's just 10 flavours of stupid, and I'm saying this as a respectful non-hater.

If it was Batman, would you say the same thing?

If not, then ask yourself why.

I was the person who asked the original question.

Batman would get destroyed by Gladiator, or anyone who could give Gladiator trouble in a straight-up power contest. There are tiers in comics for a reason. Ignore them at your pleasure, but also at your peril.

I find the allegation of racism quite sickening, since you have no idea who I am or what my race is. Very unprofessional, but it's not the first time you (Brevoort) have played the race card without understanding the implications.
