Rolling Stone takes a look at why Letitia Wright has gotten more backlash for her anti-vaccine comments than her Marvel colleague Evangeline Lilly.

I mean we know for a fact this is racism, misogynoir, and as ALWAYS yt women getting away with a lot more (especially when you take into account that weird ass THR article) but also, and I mean this with all the disrespect I can, no one is checking for Evangeline the same way

[ponyboy]

i also think letitia also amplified homophobic and transphobic views also had something to do with it as well.

(also that lucifer tweet. i scream every time.)

[witchyspice]

yeah from what I remember the video Letitia shared was a combo of “oof really?” opinions but it’s also rich that this fucking weirdo went to a whole ass rally to support her “opinion” and it was CRICKETS

[syvlie0o0]

Yeah, the video she shared wasn't just anti-vaxx, but the "pastor" in it was also saying extreme homophobic and transphobic crap.

[rihaty]

I was about to say, I think people just like Letitia more so were more upset lol. No one cares about Evangeline. But of course, racism is an element as well.

Thiiiiiis!

I was never a fan of EL and never saw the appeal, tbh. But I fell in love with Letitia after Black Panther. So, it was disappointing to find out she's kind of an idiot.

yeah i mentioned in the last post that we already knew Ev was an idiot for years so her being anti vax wasnt exactly surprising. and i mean, i love paul rudd but ant man vs black panther? more at stake with BP being shut down for her stupidity

[mistycreed]

Yeah, anyone who followed the cast of Lost when it was at its height, already knew how Evangeline was. It's wild to me that she's been cast in two major franchises when she's mediocre at best. Like, the Hobbit AND Marvel? What deal with the devil did she make?

[my_moloko]

Exactly, like who would have cared if it was the Ant man production that was shut down?

[darkwarrior]

Letitia was touted to replace Boseman so her being a wackadoo was more important to people who liked Black Panther. Noone cares about Evangeline Lilly, she's a supporting character in one of the MCU's least important series.

Came here to say no one is checking on Evangeline Lilly and so glad it was in the very first comment.
