It would fit with the rumors that Marvel Studios is working on a Secret Invasion movie.
I'd also throw out there that the term "feminism" has been demonized by some people for their own political reasons for years and quite successfully. To the point where people both women and men who believe in feminist ideas won't call themselves feminist because they don't want to be associated with the negative stereotypes. There's all these Big Red Memes floating around to say nothing of people like Rush Limbaugh calling folks "feminazi" for the last 30 yrs. Some people now hear the word "feminism" and not knowing any better think it's some sort of hate group or something.
Was it one of those detachable ones?

I don't want to get possibly spoiled about the whole movie, but I kinda want to know about the origin of her powers and the stuff related to that. Could you make a post with just that part?
Ommadon: “By summoning all the dark powers I will infest the spirit of man So that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines, I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy, and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.”

Man, look at all those spoiler tags! I wanna read them, but.....must.....resist! We're at the point where rumors can start turning out to be true more often than I'm comfortable with. Might be time I step out of the thread, until after opening night. Gotta try to avoid what I can until then.
If I dont pop in again (I probably will take the gamble, tho) I'll see everyone on the other side of movie night!

Please tell me those are all about the movie. It's good to see everyone so excited.
That spoilered leak originated on 4chan's /tv/ board I believe. It's become something of a sport there to post similar-sounding fake attempts at plot reveals in order to troll people. TBF though they never usually get posted this close to the movie's release date. I'd imagine most of what's in it is true because it's all mostly been guessed from what we've seen in the trailers combined with what we know of Carol's comics history -- though a couple of parts do seem a bit iffy.
I've seen things you posters wouldn't believe. Ad-spammers aflame off the shoulder of
rec.arts.sf.written. I watched cancel posts glitter in the ether near the usenet gateway.
All those moments will be lost in time... like beer in the rain. Time to unsubscribe.
