Anonymous asked: This is totally weird, but you may or may not have recently left me a comment on AO3 about Britishisms, but I can't find the comment and have no way to contact you, and I would like to! :D I'm really sorry if I have the wrong person.
umm.. this is possible, but i don’t know who you are either… i may have commented something, and then deleted it because of … awkwardness.
虽然我没看懂全部的英文…不过三块标识牌的中文标示错了两块。
最上面那张“小草休扈,请勿扛搅”
正确的翻译应该是“小草修护,请勿打搅。” 或者是“小草休憩,请勿打搅。”
下左的图没什么问题,下右的图“小草微微笑,清您旁边绕。”
正确的翻译应该是“小草微微笑,请您旁边绕。”

The image above was created from gathering all of the significant named characters from released Marvel Studios movies as documented on the Marvel Movies wikia.
It’s pretty sad. As you can see, only 22% of the characters are women and half of them are love interests. There are over twice as many supporting characters who are men than women (and none of them function as love interests like the women do.) 84% of the characters are white.
60% of the characters are white men, including all the main characters 77%of the characters are men 76% of the men are white 81% of the characters (both genders) are white All of the women are white Allof the characters of color are men None of the characters are women of colorOut of all the films, Thor probably does the best in introducing diverse side characters. Natalie Portman and Kat Denning’s characters pass the Bechdel test within the first five minutes, and some of the Asgardians are played by people of color including Idris Elba’s Heimdall and Tabano Asano’s Hogun. Four white women characters are introduced instead of the other films’ average of one or two. But even then, there’s no question that the main characters of the film are Thor and his brother Loki.
Marvel is working off of decades of existing properties that for years solely focused on white men and a the demographic market of white men. So it makes sense that many of the films would have an abundance of white male characters. Beyond ratios, what doesn’t make sense is that even in the comics there is also an abundance of characters of color, etc. that they are ignoring or underutilizing. There are already five completed films where the titular character is a white man, with more to come. There are no films in the works where the titular character is a person of color or a woman.
…
Women made up at least 40% of the audience of The Avengers, yet only one out of the six Avengers–Black Widow–was a woman. Women also made up 40% of attendees at this year’s ComicCon. Why, given the scarcity of female heroic leads in the existing Marvel films, did Marvel choose to announce the addition of several more male characters but only one new female character?
