Storm, as one of Marvel’s most iconic characters, has long represented power, grace, and resilience and it’s fantastic that we’re going to be able to finally fully explore her identity, heritage and inner world in her new ongoing solo book by Murewa Ayodele.

For many Black readers, Storm isn’t only a superhero but a cultural touchstone. She represents how important it is to see nuanced, fully realized Black characters in mainstream media, which is especially important to Black women and femmes who often feel overlooked in pop culture

Storm’s identity as a Black woman, grounded in African roots, is central to her narrative, supporting and being supported by Black people, especially women and femmes, who are on a journey of reclaiming their own identities, Power and voices

She is one of the strongest Black characters in fiction who often transcends tropes, constraints and stereotypes. We’ve seen her be indomitable, vulnerable, broken, confident, angry, heartbroken, joyful, etc

In a world where Black people, especially women and femmes, have been prevented from taking up space, Storm has control over her environments. Storm represents the ongoing fight for social, political and cultural autonomy.

With Storm having her own solo series, Ayodele is reclaiming space in a genre that has often sidelined Black characters. While the topic of ‘representation’ is complex, seeing Storm front and center while being treated with respect, nuance and complexity is powerful

Storm’s connection to the Earth and her being its protector speaks to the ways in which many Black and Indigenous people, particularly of African descent, view our relationship with nature and spirituality. Storm’s ability to commune with the planet parallels some traditions

Historically, Storm has often been depicted through an exoticized lens-her African heritage emphasized in ways that othered her from other mainstream characters. In giving her a solo, this allows writers to explore her in ways that reject how Black women have been fetishized

Happy Day One of Inktober! Here is Amelia from Power Rangers Cosmic Fury!! Short review, really liked this season (probably my favorite from recent memory) Great job making me like bad guy Ollie (because he was hands down my least favorite character, anytime he appeared onscreen I rolled my eyes)

Still hate the suit designs. When they are moving around and fighting it doesn't look as bad...but as soon as they stand still oof

[universalmorphingrid]

Is...is she....live streaming...??? And is it just me or...did Cosmic Fury suddenly turn into a comedy???😂😂😂

[universalmorphingrid]

HOt take Unpopular opinion: despite all the criticism floating around about the cosmic fury suits, I think they look pretty dope.

Billy is the GOAT.

Also, he kept the dinosaur theme. "It just felt right."

I like that Solon catches the little morphin grid balls for Ollie and Zayto.

I did something I never do and completely binged a TV season last night. It was Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury, it may well be the final season of the series (at least as we know it), and it was an awesome send-off. Much like Power Rangers RPM, the franchise goes its hardest when it's on the brink of cancellation. Spoilers can be found below the "Keep Reading".

Whiny bastards Some Fans labelled the series "woke" because of the female Red Ranger. Others for the lesbian power couple that is the Green and Orange Cosmic Fury Rangers. But boy, are they gonna be pissed about the villain.

The real villain of Cosmic Fury is capitalism. No, really, it's stated pretty unambiguously. The corporate CEO villain is eviler than Lord Zedd, the goddamn Emperor of Evil. Bajillia Naire, CEO of Squid Ink Inc., frees Lord Zedd from his imprisonment specifically to trick his ass into capturing the Morphing Masters and absorbing their powers. She then traps him in a tube that she plans to blow up and create an evil energy wave that will wipe out good in the universe.

Her reason for that? In a universe ruled by evil, there will be constant war and her weapons business will do really well. It will also remove worker protections (which she says, in those words), allowing her to further exploit her already exploited workforce. At one point, the Blue Ranger (brainwashed and evil) remarks:

"Nice? That doesn't sound like CEO behavior."

It's fucking wild.
