I never thought I'd see the day that the possibility of someone being black was not only considered as funny but then gets explained as a TANNED Hispanic but here we are. Kudos to Madeleine Mantock for always standing up for herself.

On Veil and the Widow...

With all of the EXTREMELY overt slavery and plantation imagery in Into the Badlands, I’mma need everyone to remember that the Widow is a white woman and Veil is a Black woman. Right now!

People are reacting negatively to her betrayal of Veil for a reason. This is not an extension of Whore/Madonna or Madame/Madonna, which needs to be interrogated before it’s applied here because Veil is not another white woman opposite the Widow but, in fact, a Black woman. That is a trope that doesn’t quite work as a criticism because of the nature of Black women’s portrayals in media and their receptions in fandom. 

Even more, it totally invalidates Black fans who are upset that this epitome of a White Feminist and White Savior literally just sold a Black woman into sexual slavery to further her own cause, all the while professing to be a “savior” come to liberate the downtrodden. 

Veil gave Tilda the poison as an option last season because the Widow literally kidnapped her and forced her to use her doctoring skills on her, instead of just asking. Furthermore, Veil felt hypocritical vibes coming off of the Widow’s “save every woman in a way that still leaves me in power or a Baron” crusade, which turned out to be absolutely valid. 

The idea that somehow there aren’t serious and honest reasons for fans, especially Black fans, to be done with the Widow is so obtuse and ridiculous. 

Stan her all you want but we don’t have to cuz the Widow literally is garbage. An interesting character, perhaps, but complete garbage for what she did to Veil. Trying to argue that she’s just like any other “anti-hero” is so tone deaf and gross. Miss me with that, man.

he felt like a scared animal, not like a clipper, as he stood there in the doorway, holding his arm defensively. the minute he heard movement his eyes flickered as she appeared in the doorway, a frown furrowing her brows and god she was beautiful. if her clinic was a warm summers day, she was the sun itself, the bright soft center of it all. sunny felt the breath stolen from between his lungs, his lips pressed together.

“sunny, isn’t it?” she asked, her frown going from confusion to concern as she stepped closer.   {springtide showers} by @abloodneed

Veil

I think people are misunderstanding something. I'm taking this way back to season one when a few people thought she was acting out of character for giving Tilda the poison. She wasn't telling Tilda "go kill the widow" it was more of like if you feel like you don't want to be apart of the widows plans anymore then here is a poison. If you actually think for the slightest second about killing the widow then you know you don't want to follow her orders anymore but if you don't even think about killing her then Tilda wants to stand by the widow.

It wasn't intended for the widow to ever get killed. Veil knew if she killed a baron people would go after her . I feel like Tilda's character understood the reason behind the poison also because when MK was there she was questioning the widow a little and Tilda was unsure of herself. Odessa this season is making Tilda even more uncertain about the widow and Veil's situation with Quinn too.

It wasn't Veil being OOC but her giving Tilda a choice. Tilda made her decision to stay with the widow but look now she going to start questioning the widow motives. That's going back to Veil explaining to Tilda the Widow isn't really all that good. Tilda's eyes are opening. Even if Veil didn't give her the poison Tilda would still doubt the widow in the end.

Being boring?

As said before she's the only doctor. Creates mimics. Can read. She might not be able to fight but she can outsmart people. Can't expect all the women on the show to be the same.

How can some people honestly say "Oh I like how all the characters are different" and then say "Veil can't fight she's boring?"

Question! What's the difference you like?

And also when I watched a few martial arts films way back the girls the main character liked couldn't all fight. You'll see them to the side crying to whoever the main guy is fighting telling them to stop and they weren't boring to me. Veil doesn't even whine lol I'm so confused.

I just had a flashback to the last 20 minutes of season two for into the badlands and now ive got indigestion

“Rumor is he's some kind of demon. When he's cut, his eyes go black.” “What's this boy's name?” “Uh, I don’t know, something strange. It was initials.”

“It's Sunny. He's back.” “Sunny? How can that be?” “He's joined forces with The Widow and he's no doubt coming to find you.“
